We really enjoyed our stay in Great Barrington. The location was excellent—close to the mountain and convenient to restaurants and town—and the house was a great fit for our family. Everything was comfortable and made for an easy, relaxing stay. One small thing to note is that the office area with the two twin beds is more of a pass-through space between rooms and doesn’t have blinds, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience. We’d happily stay here again.

The house was amazing! We were 3 families with 6 kids among us and the house had an amazing kids wing with bunk beds, pop a shot, foosball, and air hockey. We skied at butternut and the location was perfect. Hot tub was clutch. Shay was super responsive. Would love to go back again! Highly recommend

We had a great time at this house. The second living/play room was great for the 8 kids we had with us as it gave them a separate space to play. The large front and back yards also provided ample space to get outdoors. The house was clean and well suited for our large group.

Perfect New England getaway

Great house for a large group. Lots of seating areas indoors and outdoors to accommodate kids and adults. House was very clean and kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We loved that the bedrooms were nicely separated for privacy, particularly the bunk rooms and nearby game room. Great for the late nighters in the bunch!Beautiful property and less than 10 mins to town.

Great house

This is a very lovely property, perfect for a long weekend with family. The bedrooms are spread out so that everyone had comfort and privacy. The house has all the expected amenities, lots of fun extras (the basketball game machine!), and has clearly been designed with guests in mind (love the labeling of light switches). Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our stay.

Everything was great. My grandson had a blast in the game room and going outside to kick a soccer ball around. The only issue was on our last night sitting in the hot tub there was a smell from under the deck that made it hard to sit out there. No one’s fault - probably an animal or something

Perfect family weekend

The house is clean, spacious and comfortable and well stocked with linens, towels, blankets, cleaning supplies, etc - it looks exactly as pictured and has everything you need. The kids’ ‘playroom’ was a great space even for older children, and allowed adults and kids to truly spread out and enjoy the property. We cooked multiple meals, and had all the equipment we needed. The local Guido’s specialty supermarket had an excellent selection of meats, cheeses and prepared foods, which helped simplify our at home meals. Overall, we loved being so close to Great Barrington and Tanglewood - the location can’t be beat. We would happily return!

Great, well located house

This house has a wonderful layout for families. It was beyond amazing for the kids to essentially have an entire wing to themselves. Adult bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Comfortable mattresses, lots of spaces to hang and a very nice kitchen. Plenty of hot water for multiple people to shower while the dishwasher was even running. Super close to Butternut for skiing and the town of GB. Would definitely return.

Girls weekend

This house was great for our girls weekend! So many bedrooms and everything is decorated so well, definitely felt very comfortable. We were 11 people and had plenty of spaces to hang out as a big group. The pictures don't do it justice. Only thing missing is a pool in the backyard, but for our activities we did not need to go swimming. I would absolutely use this rental again!
