Fun House

This house is a great vacation if you have children. They had everything to do in this house from games, pool, slides, tree house and more! The host was great and if I had any questions she always answered me. The location of the house was amazing and just 5 minutes from town. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing summer getaway!

We had such a wonderful time at Josh and Dorothy’s lovely home. It was spacious and a gorgeous setting. We have 2 young children and they loved the pool and all of the activities. It’s also just a short distance to restaurants/shops. It is a special place and we’d love to book again!

Perfect for a family trip!

We travelled with 6 adults and 2 small children (ages 5 & 7). Each couple had their own room and kids shared a room, and each had their own bed. Ping pong, air hockey, swimming pool, trampoline - we were delighted by all the activities. Close to Great Barrington & lots of great food options in the area. We had a lovely time!

Spacious and Best Ski Location

Stayed here with our family for a terrific ski week. Location is less than 3 mins to Ski Butternut. House was clean and even more spacious than the pictures show. The kids loved the playroom and air hockey table. Owners were easy to work with. We ate all our meals at the house and the kitchen pretty much had everything we needed.

Magical!

It was like living in a snowglobe for the month of January. The accommodations far exceeded expectations from pictures. It is spacious, flooded with natural light, clean and a “smart” home. It is an older home with lots of character, modern updates and plenty of sources to keep you warm on cold nights. The best part was being 2 minutes from Butternut one way and 2 minutes from town the other way. We enjoyed many hikes in the area, ice skating in Monterey and ice fishing in Sheffield. If you have a children, this will be a dream home for them with the playroom, the entertainment in home and the amenities on property. There is a hill that is perfect for sleigh riding, too! If you do not have children, the playroom was clean, organized and away from the main living area, so you will feel comfortable also. I cannot think of one thing we were missing for a month. We arrived late and check in was easy, the hosts were gracious and easy to contact. We will 100% be back.

Wonderful Getaway

Despite the weather being less than ideal this MDW, we had a wonderful and relaxing weekend in the Berkshires. The house was as advertised and incredibly close to everything in Great Barrington. Unfortunately, it was raining all weekend so we were confined indoors. I would love to return when the weather is nicer! Check-in/check-out was simple and everything we could ever need was provided!

Perfect place for a family friend getaway

Post vaccinations, we rented this home with another family, so we were 4 adults and 3 kids under 2. We all slept well and had our own spaces, the playroom was amazing and provided hours of entertainment for the toddler, and the common spaces - kitchen, living room, and outdoor - were perfect for the adults to hang out in. It's just a few minutes from main street and so we enjoyed getting out, too!

Perfect for our family

We are a family of five with teenage children and spent our spring break here. The house is very centrally located to hiking and other local attractions. It is comfortable and fully stocked. We spent a lot of time playing air hockey and using the large yard. The AV system in the main living room was a surprising bonus for us as we like to watch movies together.

Very close to Butternut for easy skiing, and traveling back and forth

Fun house with a wonderful old stone fireplace. Easy kitchen to cook in. Large open space for 4 adults and 2 children. Five minute access to Butternut Ski slopes and ten Great Barrington. Fun playing ping pong and air hockey in the middle of the space. House is close to the road, none of us had a problem with the noise and slept well.

Family Fun

The owners were extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that popped up. Even with a very quick turn around, the house was in good shape when we arrived. The only reason that I didn't give a 5 of 5 for the location and neighborhood was because the house is on busy State Road (set back approx 30-40 feet). However there are large pine trees in the front yard for some privacy and the owners provide white noise machines in the bedrooms if you need them to block out nighttime traffic. In addition to a very large side yard, the house is walking distance from a great hiking trail. Our kids (young teens) enjoyed all of the activities in the house and on the property while we relaxed on big comfy couches next to the fireplace.
