Lovely spot for a family getaway
We loved our stay. We had two families with small children. The kids loved the swingset and it was a great location overall. Only wish was for outdoor grilling. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Rural Home in Columbia County
This is a beautiful rural property in a great location in Columbia county. The property has a number of amenities, including an outdoor fire pit, well-appointed kitchen, swing set, and pond and small creek just down the hill. We went with one other family, and found it to be an ideal setting to get away from it all - we could count the number of cars passing by daily on one hand, and the only sounds we heard apart from the occasional train horn were those of nature (birds, insects, frogs, etc.). The host was also very responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed prior to and during our arrival.

Great 2 family stay
Awesome, private house that comfortably fit two families of four (4 total kids under 8). The house was spacious and comfortable - and yes, the kitchen is beautiful. The outside was great as well - the fire pit, swing set and trails were all thoroughly enjoyed. We would love to go back and would highly recommend.

Return To Columbia County
We knew we were in the right place, when we watched from the living room window, our son-in-law release our 2 year old granddaughter from her car seat. Margot made a beeline for the swing set and never looked back. With books, toys, a kids table with doll house, and bunk beds, both girls were enthralled. The adults enjoyed a very comfortable, well appointed home with a spectacular country kitchen. My wife and I lived in the town of Chatham many years ago and this was a return to the area we loved so much and where our 2 children were born. This property reflected the same quality of life and nature we experienced once upon a time. We walked in the back fields, gathered around the fire pit at night, and admired the stars. If you are looking for a secluded but comfortable escape, this is your place.

Wonderful Experience!
We had such an amazing stay. The place was beautiful and the location was even better. All of the kids that stayed had so much on the playset on the property and the toys inside. Alyssa was an excellent host. She was incredibly accommodating and responsive. We would love to stay again in the future!

Rural Relaxation Zone
Close to everything we enjoy during our annual vacation in the Berkshires (Tanglewood, Theater in Stockbridge and Pittsfield, Mass MOCA and Clark, Jiminy Peak, Hancock Village, shopping and dining in Chatham, Lenox and Great Barrington), the home itself is a private oasis of forest, fields, long views of mountains, wildflowers and wildlife. We enjoyed wandering the surrounding property and well-maintained dirt roads as much as we enjoyed our customary tourist adventures. Gorgeous landscapes, starting with the view from the terrace. Home was nicely laid out for our group. WiFi was a little iffy occasionally, but a price worth paying for the setting. My husband did remote office work a couple of days without any trouble. The rental has an old school home share vibe, with ample evidence of current loving use by the host; and also prompt responses, generous accommodation of our needs, and helpful suggestions on specific local activities we asked about. We had a great time and would visit again!
