Location perfect for our needs. View from Deck is special. The Housatonic feeds into the pond and there is a lot of wildlife to see. The deck is good for a couple. Tight for more. You can only use the stairs to go below for emergency as it leads to the bottom deck. It was very hot when we stayed. It took 3 hours to cool the apartment when it’s 95 degrees out. There are only two small window units and a few fans. One bedroom is without. It did not affect our stay since we only used one bedroom. The floors are uneven and I recommend anyone with balance issues consider this. There are narrow stairs leading to the second floor unit. We had trouble with the tv and our host had it fixed the next day. The toaster was fussy or not working. I forgot to report that. The kitchen has most items you’ll need. The stove eyes are all downhill… interesting to cook on. Plenty of soap, detergent for dishwasher , bath towels, and paper towels, to etc. You are between the two best spots for organic produce and baked bread. Both a short distance. The home is right on the road. The bedrooms are right next to it. We enjoyed our stay for value and location.

We had a great stay. The apartment was clean and had a great view. It was near everything but in a relaxing, tranquil environment. Bee was a fantastic host. We look forward to another trip.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. We were 4 adults and we were very comfortable. Communication with the owners was excellent. Great location for skiing at Butternut. We had one of the best dinners we have ever had at Adam’s Cafe in Great Barrington. I would love to come back in warmer weather and see more of the area. I definitely recommend this booking. .

This property met all our expectations. It was easy to loccate and provided an unspoiled lakeside view as described. The second-floor apartment, though small, was cozy and comfortably furnished. Restaurants, groceries, points of interest and hiking trails all within close proximity. Great "leaf-peeping" during our stay!
