House was super cute, well stocked and had everything we needed. The host was responsive when we had questions.

Everything was as advertised; it was a cozy, clean place to stay off the beaten path. And when an issue arose, the property managers and owners were incredibly responsive and helpful. Would recommend for a great stay!

Pros: Fall unfortunately came earlier than it has the past few years so we were unable to use the lake, but it really was just one house down and the house had nice views of it. (there were tons of kayaks, chairs, noodles, floats, etc.) The house had almost everything we needed, including local guides. (TV is confusing though.) Neighborhood was very quiet. We loved Great Barrington and sighting along the gorgeous country roads. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was huge, lots of space to cook, dishwasher worked great. Cons: the bedrooms were tiny. Really tiny. The ad says that it sleeps up to seven but there is no way in my mind that it could ever sleep more than 4, or two adults and three kids. There is almost no storage space in the bedrooms except for a tiny closet and a small dresser in the double bedroom. The double bedroom also lacks plugs so good luck charging your phone or using a CPAP in there. The lighting was somewhat dim throughout the house and the lamps in the bedrooms didn't provide much light for reading at night. There were no Kleenex provided which was a bit odd, the house also lacked a kettle/teapot and a pot big enough to boil corn/ anything large in. Also, all of the sauce pans were nonstick which can be an issue for some people. This is a great house for people who love to be outdoors, or for 2-3 if you will be spending a lot of time indoors.20 minutes to nearest grocery store.

This was a very cute house in a nice location. With a few small improvements, it could easily be 5/5. The good: right by the lake, kayaks, paddles, lifejackets and everything to you need for a great day by the lake, central to so many nice hikes and a short drive to scenic towns; awesome screened porch with lake view. A few areas of improvement: could have been a bit cleaner; bath tub did not drain properly; there was no soap for the shower - maybe not a technically required at a vrbo but I’ve never been to one without; every other similar place with a firepit I’ve stayed at had well stocked firewood, matches, a working lighter, kindling etc. but this wasn’t provided.So overall, a great place - family had an amazing time. But the little things could be improved to make it 5/5.
