Gem in the Berkshires

At the end of a dead-end street but only two blocks from the center of Stockbridge, this century-old charmer may be the best-kept and best-supplied rental in the Berkshires. We stayed a month(!) and loved it. The location is unbeatable, an easy walk from the Red Lion and within 15 minutes of Tanglewood, The Mount, the Rockwell museum and other attractions. Four local trails begin 100 feet away, including the Ice Glen. A beautiful, productive garden awaits, and the screened front porch may be the highlight (in summer). Owner Julie is amazing, not only responding quickly but solving any problem beyond expectations. There’s no elevator, so the stairs will provide your exercise. You can’t beat this place.

A great stay in the Berkshires

A wonderful stay. The property was well appointed, in a quiet and peaceful location, but ideally suited for easy access to all Berkshire destinations. Communication with Julie was pleasant, prompt and helpful. Directions and instructions were clear. We had no issues during our stay, which made for a pleasant and productive visit for work and recreation. We hope to return another time.

The perfect Airb&b in Stockbridge

This adorable home in Stockbridge is the perfect place to stay in Stockbridge. Julie provided everything we needed and we really appreciated the quality of the dishes and wine glasses. The front porch is ideal for coffee in the morning and the fire pit was fun a great place to relax in the evening. Convenient to everything. Thanks Julie!

A special place

Julie’s home is a wonderful base for exploring all the Berkshires have to offer, and then returning to a special, comfortable, incredibly convenient home away from home. Being able to walk to Stockbridge Main Street, or hike the Ice Glen trail, or quickly come home after hearing a glorious concert at Tanglewood—this special home offers all that snd more. We look forward to returning in the years ahead! Absolutely 5 stars!!

Practically perfect in every way

The house is beautiful and exquisitely maintained, as is the garden, a rare finding in a rental. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. My only quibble was that my wife and I started sneezing only in the house, and mostly near the laundry area; we suspect some kind of fragrance that set us off. Julie was a very friendly and responsive host who was able to reschedule cleaning on very short notice so that we could arrive a day earlier than booked and enjoy more time in the Berkshires. The location is great -- easy walking distance from town and right on a trailhead. The Glen trail is beautiful, but we (and several others we met) turned back after a while because of swarms of hungry mosquitoes. Bring repellant and mosquito nets!

Perfect in so many ways

My family of 4 stayed 3 nights in this house while touring some colleges. Each of my two kids were delighted to have their own room. The house is so well taken care of. It is clean, charming and very comfortable. The beds, pillow, and bedding are high quality and make for a good nights sleep. The outdoor space is also charming. We did not use the fire pit, but we sat at the picnic table at night with the beautiful lighting and garden. We walked to dinner at the Red Lion for my birthday one night. We were sat to leave after just 3 nights.

Our home away from Tanglewood

My mother, sisters and I decided to get tickets to hear the Pops at Tanglewood and chose to stay this home. It was nothing short of perfection! Great location - close to everything, yet a feeling of off the beaten path. The house was spotless and the furnishings were chic and timeless. We only wish we’d had more time to enjoy the fire pit in the back yard. We hope to be back - soon!
