Great stay! It’s a bit of a drive to get places, but the drives are all beautiful. It was quiet, spacious, and family friendly. Another review mentions the surroundings and yes, there are some buildings in need of repair around, but it didn’t take away from our stay at all. Greg referenced Tolkien when talking about the surroundings and he was not wrong at all :) Spring was stunning!

Good kitchen!

Kristen was extremely helpful and communicative. She promptly responded to all my questions. The house is well built and spacious with ample amenities in a quiet old mill town. If you’re looking for a break from the hubbub of the busy, crowded, crazy outside world this place definitely fits the bill.

We enjoyed our time with extended family at this cozy house. The hosts responded quickly and effectively to all communications. The listing described the advantages of the house well but omitted a few things that travelers may wish to take into account:-Potential lead in the water. Owners left brochures out in the house from the state of Massachusetts about there potentially being lead in the water, a few gallons of bottled water, and a Brita filter (which however did not filter lead). We went to North Adams and got bottled water to use for drinking and cooking.-Immediate neighbors include a mix of occupied houses and abandoned / derelict houses not shown in picture.-The listing described the property as 'rustic' but I'm not sure that's the right word. Think wallpaper peeling at the edges, mold spots on bathroom ceilings, and thick old carpet.-On the bright side, the kitchen was very well-stocked and the dishwasher was great. The beds, sheets, etc were all good.We would have felt good about this rental, had we known the above going in and had the price point been much lower. (We paid 295 per night plus fees, which seems to be higher than the usual rate probably because we visited over New Year's.)
