The pictures online of the house were beautiful but the actual house is not only beautiful but warm, inviting, and user friendly with all the amenities and equipment you could imagine needing on vacation. Location, location, location! The house is perfectly situation for a cultural tour of the Berkshires. We were easily able to head north to Hildene in Manchester, VT, to Oldcastle Theatre in Bennington, VT, and south to Pittsfield for the Colonial Theatre as well as to Lenox for Tanglewood. We also took advantage of the Williamstown Theatre Festival which was just 2 miles from the house. Because the house was so conveniently located, we could pop into town for coffee or go to the Clark Museum and pop back to the house for a swim. The pool was terrific! We enjoyed sitting by the pool, relaxing in the expansive garden and having meals on the patio under the awning. We enjoyed using all the rooms in the house and found it a peaceful vacation spot. Mary, the owner, was fantastic both before and during our stay. Patient and kind, she answered all our questions so we felt right at home. This was my first experience with VRBO and I am so glad that I signed up for this particular house. A dream come true!
