The grounds are meticulously manicured, with gardens that have been featured in the book "Great Gardens of the Berkshires.” With extensive hiking trails right out the back door, our home is truly a nature lover's paradise. A koi pond in the back with running waterfall delights the senses. Inside, the home is equally inviting, with 8 individually zoned A/C spaces.

Beautiful property with plenty of amenities. We felt welcomed and enjoyed all the artwork. We had a small issue with some housekeeping items but Steve was responsive and welcomed our feedback. Overall a great stay!

Great weekend for four couples. We all had bedrooms and bathrooms, with many sitting and living areas as well. Beautiful outdoor patios as well, and nice walking path around the house. The owner was very responsive and the house very expansive. Tv available but also a dining area that doubled as a place to play games, with a sitting area for chatter also available. Made for a lovely weekend and an interest in returning.

We stayed here for several nights over a holiday weekend. The house is quite nice, particularly with the grounds which serve as a large curated garden with large varieties of plants and walking paths. The house itself is also quite nice. Spacious and reasonably well laid out, and quiet. We slept very well and various amenities were as advertised including AC and a very nice soaking tub with nice views of the gardens. Kitchen was spacious and had a decent tool selection. The house was well kept, but does show an occasional sign of age as to be expected. The location is one prime benefit, within reach of services in various towns, as well as being central to a number of important tourist sites, including Tanglewood. The host was very available and receptive, one of the highlights. Met us on site with a nice tour when we arrived and made available to us should the need arise (which it didn't).

This is a beautiful house, well constructed, roomy and extremely comfortable, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and perfectly located to enjoy outdoor and cultural activities in the Berkshires. We felt at home right away. In addition, Steve was always immediately available to address any questions we had. Our stay was wonderful!!!

From the moment I saw this VRBO house online, I was drawn in by the gorgeous gardens and landscaping surrounding the house, as well as the many large windows to view the outdoors from inside Stephen was a very gracious host, greeting us with a tour of the grounds and the house and leaving us an abundant bowl of fruit. a loaf of bread and fresh flowers. He encouraged us to feel welcome in every way and made himself available for any questions we may have. This was a family trip of seven people from three generations and there was plenty of room for us to have space to ourselves when needed. My 6 and 9 year old grandsons had fun both inside and out. There was room to play catch, beautiful trails with lots of fun sculptures, a swing, and a charming koi pond where they enjoyed counting the many frogs. Inside, the boys enjoyed playing the drum, piano, pool and pingpong as well as many other games that were available. We all loved the privacy and the location that was only a short drive to many attractions and activities. We had a wonderful week!

My wife, our 2 sons and their spouses, and I came to celebrate my wife’s birthday and to attend several events at Tanglewood. We have been to Tanglewood several times, as well as to Jacob’s Pillow and other performing arts venues. In addition, we all enjoy frequenting good restaurants. Our trip this year was the best that we have ever had, primarily due to the stay at Stephen and Diane’s house. The location of the house and it’s privacy was exactly what we had been searching for. We definitely will attempt to rent it again, the next time we come to Tanglewood.

This house is a gem! The pictures were exactly how we found the house when we arrived. Steve met us there upon arrival and showed us how to work everything. He was always available if we needed anything. Huge windows and sliding doors in every room made us feel like we were sitting outside. We had total privacy – house surrounded by gorgeous trees and plantings. Location of the house is excellent. No more than 15 minutes to Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge, and Tanglewood. We’ve rented many houses in the area and this one is by far the most comfortable and inviting. We were three couples and one single adult and there was more than enough rooms and beautiful sitting areas for us to gather together or spend alone time. We will definitely be returning for our annual summer trip to the Berkshires!

Loved this house in West Stockbridge!
Loved this house in West Stockbridge!
We had a wonderful two-week stay at this spacious and lovingly cared for house in a beautiful garden setting in West Stockbridge. The owners could not have been more attentive and quick to attend to any needs we had (e.g. providing a fresh propane tank for the BBQ.) I highly recommend this property and hope that we will have the chance to return.
