I wanted something exclusive and isolated so that I could shut down and tune out.
What I found was a magical and historic cabin surrounded by lush green nature and flowing streams.
Once I discovered the swimming hole and the waterfall attached, my sense of adventure had piqued and it was on.
I swam, I hiked, I read, I meditated until my soul was full and I was ready to come home and get back to my grind.
I hope to come back with my daughters in the future.
Incredible.

Property was exactly as listed. Perfect location within walking distance of wonderful trails. Gorgeous scenery and weather on this autumn weekend. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The owner was excellent with communication. I enjoyed my extended-weekend-mom-getaway to the fullest in this lovely and unforgettable setting.

The perfect setting to relax. A porch made for rainy days. Easy access to hiking trails, museums, restaurants, and local attractions. The owner Brendan quickly responded to power outage and informing us of results. A wonderful spot of which we hope to return. Thank you for sharing

We really loved our stay here, and so will you if you're up for an old cabin with an uneven porch, a kitchen with an eclectic assortment of pots, glasses, etc., but holy cow oodles of charm! This is a place where time really does slow down. The nice gravel roads are great for runners, and hiking paths up to Greylock are just up the hill behind the cabin. We were slow to warm up to the place but really sorry to leave after a week. Also, the owners were great!

This peaceful, cozy family cabin in the woods gave us a restful, comfortable stay near our daughter’s family in Williamstown. It is at once tucked away at the base of Mount Greylock and yet within east reach of the Clark Art Institute, Williams College, and the heart of Williamstown. An unexpected plus was a remarkable book collection. The host couldn’t have been more prompt and accommodating.

We loved everything about this charming log cabin: The view of the mountains, with clouds drifting by and close up a pair of hummingbirds sipping from the nearby flowers; the cozy interior with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and the silence! We hadn't been that relaxed in a long time. We want to return for 2 weeks next summer. Thanks so much for sharing your family cabin, Janet & Jay

The description on VRBO is accurate and prepared us well for what to expect. This house is a gem, with many hiking trails right out the back door. It’s rustic but very comfortable and well-appointed. The owners have prepared a helpful guidebook to the house and the area, making it a great place to stay. They anticipated all the questions we might have. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable place with direct access to hiking but also close to town. We’d love to return.

Great Spot. Great Host
This is a very special property. As the pictures describe, its a log cabin that has been in the family for many years. We loved the location, the charm of the cabin, and opportunity to cycle or hike right from the cabin itself. The owner was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return. Highly recommended to visitors to the Berkshires as well as the local Art Museums and WIlliams College

The cabin was even more beautiful than the photos. Immersed in nature with the sound of rushing water. The cabin's history made us feel a part of something special. We enjoyed exploring the trails from the back of the property. Easy access to Mt Greylock. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable. Brendan was easy to reach and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed local restaurants such as Coyote Flaco and Mezze.

This is a nice historical cabin located on a quiet country road in the mountains. You can connect to numerous hiking trails right out the backdoor. The home has a nice outdoor fire pit with so many fireflies to enjoy your nights. The owner is very nice and quick to respond. He has put together a nice binder with lots of info on the trails and area attractions. If you are looking to unplug and get out in nature this is definitely the place.

On first seeing the cabin, I was a bit scared. It looks really old and I am used to being in modern houses. But it is beautiful in that old history kind of way. However, it is quite a usable cabin. The newer addition with the master and master bath is rustic but works fine in the modern sense. The bed was comfortable, there were extra blankets in case it got cold, there were shampoo and conditioner and body wash. Besides the house itself nothing really felt old. Well, maybe the old style claw foot tub fitted with a shower head in the second bathroom. But that just added to the charm of the place.We were provided with a history of the house and immediate area which is really great for those who get into that kind of stuff like we do. The area is quiet but still not far from the Water Street restaurants and a Stop and Shop.Most importantly, the trails up Greylock are just up a steep embankment in the backyard and across a field. (Wear your bug spray.) It’s very convenient to make it to the summit and back and not have to get in a car to get to a trail. Brendon gave us great information. We would definitely think about staying here again if we are making another trip to the Berkshires. This is a great rental for people who like historic charm but still like modern conveniences.

Amazing fall destination
Comfortable cabin in a magical location for our 3 week stay. Mountains, streams, wildlife, trails, quiet, yet close to a lovely town. The center chimney is monumental and Brendan is a terrific host. Definitely want to return.

Beautiful location, cabin heated up quickly, nice cozy blankets and comfortable set up. Hiking trails advertised from the back yard were harder to access than I had assumed but the owner was very helpful and responsive. We appreciated sharing the cabin.

We had a great time at Brendan's cabin. It is truly a gem. Remote but not too far from great food and outdoor entertainment. Right next to a stream that allowed our kids to splash around. Little frogs and newts right on the lawn. Wonderful hiking close by. The cabin itself is just as described and in many ways nicer, it is well stocked and in excellent condition. The nights are dark and quiet. It's a wonderful place to recharge and go on adventures.
