For stays shorter than 31 days, Massachusetts imposes a 5.7% room occupancy tax, and the town of Great Barrington adds 6%, bringing the total tax to 11.7%. Platforms like VRBO automatically collect this tax for stays under 31 days. The good news? Stay 31 days or more, and you’re exempt from this tax, saving you 11.7%! Plus, we offer a 5% discount on monthly stays or longer.

The house is in a peaceful neighborhood, so we kindly ask guests to follow standard house rules: no smoking, no parties, and please respect our neighbors.

We provide one propane tank for the BBQ grill or the propane fire table—just let us know in advance if you'd like to use one so we can have it ready for you. Please note that any refills during your stay are the guest’s responsibility.

We look forward to hosting you soon!
