"So grateful to Bill for such a wonderful stay! The cottage was so lovely and had everything you could need for a weekend on the lake. Will definitely be returning in the future 😊"

"Property is a convenient 5 minute walk to the heart of Warren Street. Home was as described - clean & cozy with a nice porch and ample parking for several cars. Only suggestion would be to trim the trees that block the view of the Hudson … if they are on the property. We visited in the Spring when the leaves were on the trees. The.view of the Hudson might be fine in Winter."

"If I could have given it more than 5 stars I would have. Beautiful, quiet area and the place is stunning. The gas fireplace in the dining area was great, has pretty much everything you could need and incredibly stylish (the retro fridge and microwave were very cool). Can’t speak to the pullout but the king in the master might have been the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in and the double shower is awesome. The hosts were friendly and responsive. Went to hike and the number of trails within...

"the property was very well maintain, the host put alot of very personal and special touches inside the house.i have stayed in alot of houses over the years, but this one the host made you feel right at home."

"We enjoyed our stay along with our dogs at the Gazebo. Beautiful mountain views and peaceful environment. Plenty of hiking and quiet country roads to walk the dogs. The cottage is very quaint and tastefully decorated. We hope to be back again."

"A very nice stay. Communication with the host was great. We kept bothering her with questions and she responded quickly. The place is really beautiful. We lit a fire each night and played some of the provided games and watched Netflix. It's an easy drive to Great Barrington to get groceries at the Berkshire coop. We also took advantage of our surroundings and hikes on the AT a little each day. Next time we'll use the host's canoe to explore Lake Buel. The only minor complaint I would have is...

"I have nothing but great things to say about our stay! Our hosts were great and very welcoming. The property was beautiful and our cottage as well. We will most definitely be back! Thank you!"

"Nicely renovated house. A few issues likely caused by an ice storm prior to our arrival. Owner was kind to resolve. Beds are VERY firm, if that is your thing. There are new window coverings in the bedrooms, but room darkening would have been a huge plus. No sleeping in if you are at all light sensitive. An App on the tv that would allow for streaming network channels would also be great."

"Nestled among luxe lakefront properties, this tidy cabin was perfectly suited to relaxing in kayaks and family dinners. Near Great Barrington and lovely hikes. Exceeded all expectations for a last minute getaway."

"Beautiful location and very comfortable private location. Highly recommend"

"Second time staying at the property. Comfortable, low key cabin. Access to private beach a big plus. Near Lenox, Stockbridge and Tanglewood."

"Absolutely beautiful location. Lots of hiking nearby. Countless places, towns, attractions, etc. to check out. The house was better than the pictures suggest. We are already making plans to return in the Spring / Summer."

"I’ve been visiting the Berkshires for decades and never stayed at a place with such an amazing view of Lake Buel! Sunrise right from my bed. The house was stocked with everything that was needed for an amazing weekend. Wonderful place to stay!"

"I’ve been dreaming of a NYC getaway for years and fell in love with this home!!! I love the cozy feeling of being in such magical woods with such a beautiful lake nearby. Having access to the teepee was so special and added even more character. The beds are soooo comfortable I can’t wait to go back!!!"

"A sanctuary for writers and astronomers! Exquisite cottage and surroundings. Short hop to all that goes on in the Berkshires. You won't want to leave!"

"The cabin was as advertised and super clean. We had a great time exploring the area."

"This was our first stop on a long journey from VA to ME, traveling with 2 dogs. It was perfect, the dogs were safe with lots of freedom to roam. What a beautiful, peaceful village and sweet little cottage."

"Quaint cabin tucked away in the Berkshires. For those vacationing with a pet, be aware that on Labor Day weekend this neighborhood puts on a fireworks show right by this house. Also, there really is not any yard, just a small patio. Lots of great hiking in the area."

"We had a great time at The Freeman! The little touches like fresh fruit and a welcome basket made it even more special for our family getaway."

"We loved our two night stay in the forest :) The house was super clean, well appointed, quiet and relaxing. We didn't have great weather so didn't get to take advantage of the perfect spot on the lake or any of the kayaks or boats, but the location was a great jumping off point for visiting the various Berkshires towns."

"Generous facility, nicely located, accommodating host."
