This wonderful home proved to be a perfect choice for our summer vacation in the Berkshires - exceptionally clean, comfortable, and ideally located! And Noriko is a splendid host!

Located just outside of downtown GB, this property was perfect for me, my family, and some visiting friends. We really enjoyed the outdoor deck for bird watching, relaxing and grilling. The kitchen is well-stocked with good pans, pots and knives. The downstairs area with the wet bar and pool table were also fun. Note that this property is also a 5 min drive (take back roads to avoid traffic in town) to Lake Mansfield for great swimming. We intend to come back!

Everything was nice, a cleaner porch,would have been perfect.

Most important, since it was a very hot week, the AC units in the living room & main bedroom worked well. If you kept the doors open the other rooms cooled too. House was well supplied with towels, paper goods, soaps, spices, etc. Lovely landscaped private yard. 2nd bedroom has a full, not queen mattress. The cable box had an issue with rebooting each time it was used, which hopefully Spectrum will resolve. You just have to remember to turn it on earlier than the show starts (you can watch shows on demand too.) The owner was easy to communicate with via the app. Not far from town and from Lake Mansfield for swimming (no fees.)

Wonderful, comfortable house
The house is on a lovely property near the things we love in Great Barrington. It's spacious, sparkling clean and was very comfortable for our group of 5 adults. Our favorite space was the screened-in room....spent a lot of time there when we weren't out walking, playing tennis or swimming nearby.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the screened porch. It is a very quick drive into town for a coffee or meal. I definitely appreciated the variety of seating in the living room since our family spans a range of heights and we could all find a comfortable place to sit. Noriko and Dale were fantastic hosts!

Cozy and convenient
The house was very comfortable with several different seating areas that allowed for guests to have privacy. The glassed in porch was a wonderful asset, especially since we were housebound for a few days due to a hurricane. As others have mentioned, the house could use some upgrades to the decor, but the photos accurately portray what the rooms look like. The driveway is a bit of a challenge since it was pretty rutted.. The bathrooms, television, dishwasher and microwave are all updated. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet with easy access to all Berkshire attractions. The owners were responsive to some initial issues we faced. It would be helpful to have a manual in the house that explains some of the features and provides emergency contact numbers for the local caretaker. We had a lovely week and it was hard to leave.

It's a lovely house in excellent shape, just close enough to Great Barrington to walk. The place was spotless when we arrived. We made extensive use of the propane grill on the back deck. Owners are very communicative and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay.Only caution is that the interior steps to the downstairs space (TV, pool/ping-pong table, bar, washer/dryer) are unusually steep. Not a great fit for someone who is staircase-challenged.

Family Thanksgiving
This is our 3rd stay at Hemlock Hill. Obviously we love this house. It felt like coming home for us as well as our family and friends. We had much to be thankful for this year and being able to stay at Hemlock Hill was one of them.

We really enjoyed staying in this property and found it's rustic style very homey and easy. The owners were responsive and accommodating and the location in a woodland area just outside of Great Barrington was beautiful. The fireplace in the living room and the gas burning stove in the window enclosed porch were both welcome features. The ping pong/pool table proved a hit with our younger adult family members.

A Nice Place
The property is well located and close to many of the cultural
attractions we enjoyed. Kitchen is well equipted and easy to use. Both bathrooms are nice and have obviously been upgraded.It would be more comfortable with central air but the two window units did help. The local property manager was very helpful with our needs.

The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving weekend. There was plenty of space for young and old to spread out. Close to shopping, restaurants and all that the Berkshires have to offer all year round.

Peaceful, private house near everything in the Berkshires
We spent a week in this very private home in a lovely, quiet neighborhood in Great Barrington. We enjoyed being a few minutes away from the "downtown" of Great Barrington and its shops and restaurants and also having the relaxing privacy of our rental. The house is also near Stockbridge (about 10-minutes) and Lenox is about a 15 - 20 minute drive. We especially loved the very large, attractive screen porch with its array of comfy furniture, dining table/chairs and the ceiling fan. It has sliders leading to the dining room/kitchen area.
The house is well suited for two couples since it has two full bathrooms. The main floor has a nice two-sink plus tub/shower bathroom that has been newly remodeled and the downstairs (basement level with its large entertainment room) has another bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is also a laundry room in the basement area. Given that it was summer, we did not spend time in the basement entertainment area but I can imagine it would be a nice feature in the colder months with its big screen TV and pool table. The living room on the main floor is spacious and offers a large fireplace which would also be lovely on a cold day.
There is a brand new deck but apparently because it is new, there is no deck furniture per se (although one could move furniture from the screen porch area). The deck is right off the porch room.
We enjoyed our stay at this house and were also pleased with how Noriko dealt with a few concerns/glitches we encountered.

Winter getaway
Place was as described and the right size for a family of 5. Comfortable and located within short driving distance of Great Barrington center and Ski Butternut. We enjoyed the fireplace and pool/pingpong table in the finished basement. Owners were very responsive and they have a caretaker in town if needed.

Spacious, convenient, relaxing
I stayed here for a weekend with my boyfriend and the house is very spacious and well-kept, so it would be fun to go back again with a big group of friends to take advantage of the space and amenities. It's very close to town, where we found some good restaurants and a lot of great antique stores. It's also near a pretty lake (although the weather was not quite nice enough for a swim). I would recommend this for anyone looking to get away to a nice, clean house for a relaxing time in nature and for exploring a great town. It would also be fun in the winter for a skiing vacation, there's a great big fireplace.
4.0
Comforts of home
The description is accurate and the house is very clean and well-maintained. The area is very quiet and relaxing although very convenient. The location is excellent, close to Great Barrington where we went for restaurants, shopping, and the movies. It's a short drive to Tanglewood and Stockbridge. The beds are very comfortable. The screened porch is delightful for meals and relaxing. We would recommend this to anyone who wants reasonably-priced accommodations.
