The Shiffs have a lovely home and it is as described in the listing. The pool was so nicely tended to -and the salt water great. We cooked a lot at the house -and they have everything you need plus. The area is kind of private but we met the next door neighbor and tried some of their delicious dumplings. I would definitely recommend and rent again if staying in this area.

We had a great stay with our family. Our son and his fiancee and our other son, his wife, and two children stayed with us for several days out of the week. The house was very comfortable for the 8 of us both inside and out. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked, although we ended up not doing much cooking. We have gone to Stockbridge every summer for at least 10 years, and this was the first time we stayed outside that area. Nevertheless, there was plenty to do near the house (hiking, restaurants) and it wasn't a long drive to Great Barrington and Lenox. We went to theater in Pittsfield one evening, and the trip was less than an hour. The hosts were very helpful in answering questions and suggesting restaurants. Also, as mentioned by other reviewers, the basement was well stocked with games such as ping pong, foos ball, knock hockey, and a basketball game. Our grandchildren spent most of their time in the swimming pool. We enjoyed having coffee each morning in the gazebo which provided shelter from bugs but the ability to be outdoors. It was a very enjoyable week and the house was everything we hoped for.

This house has everything you could want and more. I spent one week here, along with my husband and two young adult children. We thoroughly enjoyed the salt water pool and well appointed kitchen and game room in the basement. The house is ideally located between Great Barrington, MA and Hudson, NY. It is close to Catamount mountain which offers a fun aerial adventure park. There’s a brewery nearby called Roe Jan which I highly recommend. The hosts provided lots of useful information about the area and were very receptive to questions. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Close to Bash Bish Falls and Great Barrington. This home was perfect for a family gathering with many amenities and a large modern kitchen with center island seating.

It was a relaxing week to decompress. The owners were great in recommending activities for us to look at. We ended up going to a concert at Tanglewood for my birthday. Even though it rained alot during our stay we were able to use the pool on several days and enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas. Also enjoyed the games in the basement.

Our extended family (5 adults and 2 kids) spent a comfortable week at this spacious home. The saltwater pool was lovely and very private - a great treat on a warm summer afternoon or at the end of a busy day of fun in the Berkshires!
