I chose this property partly because of its close proximity to friends in Pittsfield, and I'm so glad we stayed here. The location was private and quiet. The living space was ideal for the two of us, with many options for just hanging out and relaxing - window seats, sofa, firepit just outside the door. Although we didn't take advantage of them, you can access great hiking trails right out the back door. Communication prior to the stay was responsive and friendly. Everything worked seamlessly.
