Enjoyed my two weeks!

The kitchen is fully equipped and great for preparing family meals. I loved the comfort of the screened porch, and using the grill and eating outside on the front table was also great! Loved being in the woods but found myself driving too much to get to various Berkshire attractions.

Great Father's Day weekend.

This is our second annual Father's day weekend. We're from Boston, but love the Berkshires. The house was exactly as billed. Lots of hidden amenities. Hopefully we'll come back here again if available. Monteray it's lush and the drive to Lee is beautiful. There are a couple of minor negative. We love dogs, but the neighbors have a dog that was an annoyance and kept coming by. We let him hang, and was just in the way looking at our food. No biggie but a problem for the owner. Also, the recycling bin is protected by a really heavy wooden cover on hinges. If you don't look to ensure it's all the way up, it can drop and hit your hand or your head. It hit my head and it was a but shocking. Neither of these should stop you from renting this place. It was great. We look forward to coming back.
