We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great old New England house. Even though we spent most of our time visiting a friend who lives in nearby Williamstown, staying in the house with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and comfortable beds really added to our overall experience. The hosts and property manager went over and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The yard that fronts on a cascading waterfall and rapid stream is absolutely beautiful. We hope to stay again.

Pros: The location was great and the property was neat. Having the creek and waterfall go through the property was really pretty. If the weather been warm my kids would have loved playing in the water! There was plenty of space and they provided plenty of towels and soaps. The kitchen had plenty of plates, cooking tools, etc. The owner and property manager were great with their communication.
Cons: The layout was a little bit weird on the middle floor where you had to go through one of the bedrooms to access another bedroom. Also, the downstairs (living room/kitchen) was very damp and had a musty smell. It could have also been cleaned better as we arrived to find some cobwebs and crumbs. It wasn't anything that kept us from having a good time, but just a constructive criticism.

Stayed for a week and appreciated the solitude of the BGH, but also its proximity to Lanesborough and Williamstown. Great for larger groups looking for multiple bedrooms and a common area to gather.

the house was as described with plenty of room for our family of four plus my mother, who joined us for most of the stay. the sound of the rushing brook was lovely. with the rains, there was a little dampness downstairs (kitchen/dining), but no serious issues. there were plenty of clean towels and extra blankets, and plenty of hot water. house manager was accessible and friendly. Wifi was great. my teen even played the piano!

The house is old and quirky but it was clean and everything worked. The lower partially underground kitchen and living room are dark. The upper floors with baths and bedrooms are brighter and cheerier. The real,draw is the waterfall which after all the rain was spectacular and it’s totallly private. Be cautious going down though. The hill is steep and.uneven

My friends and I rented this house so we could stay together for our reunion. Unfortunately the weather was cold and soggy so we were not able to really appreciate the surroundings but the view from the back patio is amazing. House was perfect for our group.

Loved the sound of the gorge at night. Five bedrooms and three baths, a huge plus. Found everything we needed in the kitchen. Layout was a little awkward and not recommended for those who have difficulty with stairs but the five of us did just fine. The heating system was a bit loud but the house was plenty warm. The location was awesome and surrounding are beautiful. The location manager was super friendly and helpful. Overall, a very peaceful and nice stay,

The Gorge House is a charming, lovingly maintained old house in an ideal location for fun Berkshire activities - hiking Mt. Greylock, riding the rail trail, alpine sliding at Jiminy Peak, attending Tanglewood concerts, etc. The kids absolutely loved swimming in the gorge! The only downside is the musty, basement-y smell that pervades the entire house. It may have been accentuated by the hot, humid weather - and is clearly not an issue for everyone - but it was potent enough to be an issue for the members of our family with a more sensitive/keen sense of smell.

Excellent experience at the Gorge House. The house is spacious and has a lot of charm and character. It's a beautiful property and the waterfall is absolutely amazing. The whole place just has a relaxing and positive vibe to it. The hosts were great to work with - very accommodating. I hope we get another chance to stay there soon!

We (myself, wife, 8yr old and 16 yr old sons) stayed here with our oldest son who is in collage and we absolutely loved this house, the location, and the quality time we were able to spend here. Waking up and going down by the waterfall and enjoying the serenity while drinking coffee. The mountains in the area are breathtaking. So many thing to do in the surrounding areas as well. I know for sure we will be back and we are now looking for something very similar for us to relocate and move to. Thank you very much and as I stated. We will return. The Luiso Family.

My family and I had a great stay. The cabin was just as described. The gorge below is beautiful, and a great way to cool off on a hot day. It's a good idea to bring water shoes if you are planning to wade in though. The stream bed is pretty rocky.

Great for a Women's Retreat
For five high school friends in their 50's looking for a weekend retreat, this place was perfect.
First, the house... old and quirky, but fun, warm and worked out great for us to cook, do yoga, play games and listen to music together. Kitchen fully stocked, just bring food. Bedrooms all on first and second floors, and kitchen, dining and large living room in the lower-level, a walk-out basement with plenty of windows. We were there during a Nor-Easter, so it was a perfect place to hunker down in front of the huge fireplace. We did venture out back to the waterfall (beautiful) and did a hike through the woods (beautiful). I can only imagine how lovely it is in the spring, summer and fall.
Location: Although the house seems to be quite remote, it is a short drive to two of the sweetest towns in Mass, we spend an afternoon at the MoCA, highly recommend.
Host: Michael was very gracious and responsive, made sure to provide us with directions for each guest, we were all coming from different directions. Elena, the local caretaker of the house, is a saint. She called me the day before our arrival to see if I had any questions and then provided welcome birthday surprises for one of us, had great recommendations for area restaurants and bakeries, and was quick with text responses when we had questions about the house. She had the heat and lights on when we arrived after dark. She is the perfect host. I recommend this antique house to those who want a unique place to stay, but must be able to use steep stairs and navigate small bathrooms. We all fell in love with the place and promised each other to book again next year.

Cute, eclectic farmhouse, much larger and roomier than pictures seem. The small gorge under the house is a must see. The kids want to go back in the summer just to spend the day exploring it.

Very comfortable beds. Great view of the gorge and, when you walk down the path behind the house, a great view of the falls. Very comfortable lower level with fireplace, comfortable couches, kitchen and dining area. Plenty of games and books. We will go back!

Beautiful location, enchanting house
The house is in a beautiful setting. Michael was so helpful as we worked through the booking offering tips on the location and the house. Woukd definitely stay again., hopefully in the summer so we could explore the stream which runs alongside the house. So peaceful!

Old homestead built a 100 years ago.
Needs some attention.
Water came onto floor in kitchen when it rained and we had to clean this up.
Two dehumidifiers in living and kitchen both witch needed to be emptied twice a day.
The placed worked for the four of us hikers and we would use it again if the need arises.

We enjoyed our week in middle earth!
This property was magical- the woods and the waterfall made it feel like something from middle earth. We kept expecting an elf to knock on the door and ask to borrow a cup of sugar. There was a kid sized rocking chair in the house and my six year old was absolutely convinced that meant the house is owned by a dwarf.
There was a lot of good hiking around that was both scenic and family friendly and there was plenty of takeout and outdoor dining available too. We were there for a week in August but never even needed the air conditioning.
This was a great authentic New England vacation for us and we’d certainly rent it again. (We do need to teach the six year old about hobbits first, though, and maybe coach him on what to do if someone shows up asking about a ring…)

This old house
My family and I just stayed here for 3 nights and it was amazing! I didn't realize the age of the house when we booked it and it turned out to be a historic relic! Loved the cozy feel of this place!

This house is a wonder! Perfectly located in the Berkshire mountains. Close to all the activities yet secluded and peaceful. I can't say enough about Elena, the house manager. She was warm and welcoming and helpful without being obtrusive. We just loved our stay in your beautiful family home. Thank you Michael for sharing it with us. It is a special, magical place. We hope to come back one day.

Found this house listing by accident but it was the the best accident that could happen when looking for a vacation that can be as exciting or as laid back as you want. The house is rustic but has up to date facilities and has more than enough space to accommodate you. The sound of the water from the gorge makes for a peaceful and serene time. The gorge with it's beautiful falls and swimming hole at the base make for a wonderful time for everyone of all ages. There are other amenities close by for those that want more. Like a ski resort, near by, with all levels of rope climbing. zip lines, a coaster and more on the mountain. Mini golf and more in nearby towns. Lakes and bigger streams near by for boating and fiahing. And last of all, great hiking at Mt Greylock State Reservation. Overall, something for everyone.
