Fabulous stay

What an amazing find to stay at while attending a yoga festival at Jiminy Peak. The house was immaculate and didn't miss a thing! Not only was there a bottle of wine waiting, but an adorable history of the home. The house was HUGE and the beds very comfortable. I wouldn't call it a 3 bedroom house though, it's a 2 bedroom with a pull out sofa in the living room. The hot tub is amazing and watching the starts and fireflies in the backyard at night was magical. Highly recommend and would stay there again any time!

Lovely home in Lanesborough, MA

This rental was perfect for us (family gathering, 4 adults, 1 child). The place was very clean, and beautifully decorated, with all modern appliances. The kithen had everything we needed for meal prep. The beds were comfortable, and the tranquil location made for a very good night's sleep. Everything is on one floor which made it safe for young children. There were several nearby parks, playgrounds and ice cream shops for entertainment. The field and short trails behind the house meant we saw rabbits, deer, many birds and an amazing nimber of fireflies.

Berkshire’s Hidden Gem

I absolutely loved this property! It was immaculate and had everything someone would need. The bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture. I loved sitting out on the deck at night and watching the deer. The fire pit and the hot tub are a bonus. I enjoyed my stay and can’t wait to return.

Very Nice Stay

We had a very comfortable and unfortunately short stay while skiing for a couple days. The rental was very clean and had plenty of room for my family of 4. We enjoyed the hot tub after skiing and its convenience close to Jiminy Peak.

Thanksgiving-time Berkshires style

Family gathered once again in this charming space. We stayed once prior and unanimously decided to return for an early Thanksgiving celebration. We had every comfort. Highly recommend Heart’s Desire. Erich is an attentive and gracious host. Would give 10 stars if we could!!!!

Ideal Location in Berkshires

Had a truly fantastic 10-day stay and enjoyed every minute. The home is well kept, very comfortable and has everything you need for an extended stay. Close to trails and on 14 acres so you are in the middle of nature, but only 5 minutes from a Target and 22 minutes from Williamstown, so you have the best of both worlds. An incredible find and the check-in process smooth and simple. Can’t say enough about the property!

A spacious rental

The property was exactly as listed, with spacious accommodation for up to 6 people. The setting is quiet and peaceful, yet very close to Lanesborough. There are limited restaurants there, which I knew beforehand, but many in Pittsfield and particularly in Lenox, a lovely small town. I’d happily stay here again.

Lovely house and location

The house was perfect for our stay to visit local family. All the kitchen basics are in place. Not a kitchen equipped for extensive cooking, baking or entertaining but perfectly suitable for take out, microwave meals and simple meal prep. The hot tub is nicely situated w/ fluffy towels and crocs. The views from the back deck are pretty.

Anniversary stay

This was our second stay here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The property was clean and inviting when we arrived. There were a few small things that needed attention, and Susan came promptly to address them. The setting is spectacular in the fall with views of fields and mountains from the properly, and the fire pit and spa just add to the enjoyment. Definitely on the radar screen for another stay in the future!

Great Place!

This was our third time staying in Heart's Desire and it didn't disappoint. The house is very spacious for one or two couples. Upon arrival everything was very clean. I love that the owners ask folks to leave their shoes in the vestibule to keep the floors clean. I love walking around the house barefoot :-). The neighborhood is quiet and private yet located near Pittsfield and North Adams. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable Hearts Desire

The listing doesn't do justice to this place. The house is cozy, well maintained and clean, everything works. The location is great and there is a huge backyard to explore. Communication with Susan was great and she was very responsive and nice, like a true friend. We assisted to a wedding nearby and we took advantage to stay a few more days and having a great time. A beautiful place and a great house to come back...Truly recommended.

Wonderful stay

This is a very nice place to stay! It was very clean and VERY peaceful. The back deck is a great place to sit and relax during the morning and evening and just enjoy the view. Inside it was very comfortable and was just as described. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was large with modern appliances, and bathroom was also large with plenty of room for washer and dryer, too. Hot tub was a plus. Owners were friendly and property was close enough to towns where you can get food (many options) and supplies if you forgot anything (Target 5-10 minutes away). Would strongly recommend this property!

Another great stay

This is our second year staying at Heart's Desire. It was as good, maybe even better, than we remembered :) This is one of the cleanest rentals we've ever stayed in. Brand new appliances in the kitchen and laundry. The hot tub in the back is a great place to see some stars. The home is very private without feeling isolated. We hope to be back again next year :)

2nd Time Stay - Great Again

We are a family with small children that ski at Jiminy at least once a year. When we booked a weekend trip, we did not hesitate to rebook at Dean's Hearts Desire! It is just perfect all around. The place is in great shape, very comfortable and in ideal location to go to the mountain and be close to restaurants and stores for all the typical family needs. See you again!
