It was wonderful to be able to once again share Thanksgiving with family and friends.

We enjoyed our time at the house , the description of the place is very accurate and the owner was very cordial and easy to communicate with.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the screened porch. It is a very quick drive into town for a coffee or meal. I definitely appreciated the variety of seating in the living room since our family spans a range of heights and we could all find a comfortable place to sit. Noriko and Dale were fantastic hosts!

The house was very comfortable with several different seating areas that allowed for guests to have privacy. The glassed in porch was a wonderful asset, especially since we were housebound for a few days due to a hurricane. As others have mentioned, the house could use some upgrades to the decor, but the photos accurately portray what the rooms look like. The driveway is a bit of a challenge since it was pretty rutted.. The bathrooms, television, dishwasher and microwave are all updated. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet with easy access to all Berkshire attractions. The owners were responsive to some initial issues we faced. It would be helpful to have a manual in the house that explains some of the features and provides emergency contact numbers for the local caretaker. We had a lovely week and it was hard to leave.

As always we enjoyed our stay in these troubled times....

It's a lovely house in excellent shape, just close enough to Great Barrington to walk. The place was spotless when we arrived. We made extensive use of the propane grill on the back deck. Owners are very communicative and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay.Only caution is that the interior steps to the downstairs space (TV, pool/ping-pong table, bar, washer/dryer) are unusually steep. Not a great fit for someone who is staircase-challenged.

This is our 3rd stay at Hemlock Hill. Obviously we love this house. It felt like coming home for us as well as our family and friends. We had much to be thankful for this year and being able to stay at Hemlock Hill was one of them.

We really enjoyed staying in this property and found it's rustic style very homey and easy. The owners were responsive and accommodating and the location in a woodland area just outside of Great Barrington was beautiful. The fireplace in the living room and the gas burning stove in the window enclosed porch were both welcome features. The ping pong/pool table proved a hit with our younger adult family members.

The property is well located and close to many of the cultural attractions we enjoyed. Kitchen is well equipted and easy to use. Both bathrooms are nice and have obviously been upgraded.It would be more comfortable with central air but the two window units did help. The local property manager was very helpful with our needs.

Beautiful house with many places to sit with friends, great bbq area on deck. Close to many interesting area attractions. Hosts helpful in answering questions and dealing with issues.

Another wonderful Thanksgiving in the Berkshires. Spaces for everyone including kids..The porch is my favorite space.

The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving weekend. There was plenty of space for young and old to spread out. Close to shopping, restaurants and all that the Berkshires have to offer all year round.

We spent a week in this very private home in a lovely, quiet neighborhood in Great Barrington. We enjoyed being a few minutes away from the "downtown" of Great Barrington and its shops and restaurants and also having the relaxing privacy of our rental. The house is also near Stockbridge (about 10-minutes) and Lenox is about a 15 - 20 minute drive. We especially loved the very large, attractive screen porch with its array of comfy furniture, dining table/chairs and the ceiling fan. It has sliders leading to the dining room/kitchen area. The house is well suited for two couples since it has two full bathrooms. The main floor has a nice two-sink plus tub/shower bathroom that has been newly remodeled and the downstairs (basement level with its large entertainment room) has another bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is also a laundry room in the basement area. Given that it was summer, we did not spend time in the basement entertainment area but I can imagine it would be a nice feature in the colder months with its big screen TV and pool table. The living room on the main floor is spacious and offers a large fireplace which would also be lovely on a cold day. There is a brand new deck but apparently because it is new, there is no deck furniture per se (although one could move furniture from the screen porch area). The deck is right off the porch room. We enjoyed our stay at this house and were also pleased with how Noriko dealt with a few concerns/glitches we encountered.

Place was as described and the right size for a family of 5. Comfortable and located within short driving distance of Great Barrington center and Ski Butternut. We enjoyed the fireplace and pool/pingpong table in the finished basement. Owners were very responsive and they have a caretaker in town if needed.

I stayed here for a weekend with my boyfriend and the house is very spacious and well-kept, so it would be fun to go back again with a big group of friends to take advantage of the space and amenities. It's very close to town, where we found some good restaurants and a lot of great antique stores. It's also near a pretty lake (although the weather was not quite nice enough for a swim). I would recommend this for anyone looking to get away to a nice, clean house for a relaxing time in nature and for exploring a great town. It would also be fun in the winter for a skiing vacation, there's a great big fireplace.

The description is accurate and the house is very clean and well-maintained. The area is very quiet and relaxing although very convenient. The location is excellent, close to Great Barrington where we went for restaurants, shopping, and the movies. It's a short drive to Tanglewood and Stockbridge. The beds are very comfortable. The screened porch is delightful for meals and relaxing. We would recommend this to anyone who wants reasonably-priced accommodations.
