Our stay at this historic schoolhouse was terrific. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. We slept well there - as the two available large rooms up and down afforded flexible sleep areas. Beds comfy. The kitchen was well equipped and the amenities such as foil, plastic wrap, tea, a Keurig machine, extra paper plates etc made our stay very convenient. The history of the place is fascinating. Many thanks!

This charming converted schoolhouse is well-supplied for the present day while reminding you of a bygone age. It's set among beautiful rural woods and pastures, private, but with ideal access to local attractions south, like Stockbridge and Lenox or north, like Williamstown and North Adams. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly, and they also simply allow you to enjoy your stay. A great place!

The Old Stone School was a truly exceptional place to stay - and the owners were also delightful people, willing to help and refer us to interesting places. We stayed two nights - it was big for the two of us, but decorated nicely and with a full downstairs that has all sorts of ephemera from the old schoolhouse days. Would stay again next time we are out at Tanglewood. Heads up - the bathroom is on the first floor, the bedroom on the second. Minor inconvenience, but not possible to change it within the building structure. Don't let this deter you! It is a magical place. And we will visit again.

First time staying in a school house! The upstairs living quarters are akin to a large studio apartment--nicely appointed and well laid out. The hosts, Cheryl and Rich are very welcoming too!

Our short stay at the Stone School Cottage was wonderful. Rich was very responsive to a minor issue we had with the TV. The cottage was exactly as listed with an unusual layout (bathroom downstairs from the living area) but it wasn't a problem. It's located within a short distance of a lot of activities, restaurants, etc. We'll definitely stay again if we're back in the area.
