One of the best properties we've stayed at

The home was beautiful with plenty of room for our family of 8 to spread out and relax. The kitchen was well-appointed, all linens and toiletries available. This is a perfect writer's retreat with so many windows, light coming in and beautiful scenery.

Winter fun in GB

Comfortable stay at this roomy home just off main road to GB. Easy driveway in and out to street. Very convenient location to downtown. Cozy fireplace. Beautiful spot in woodsy area with view of pond. Lots of winter fun skiing, snowboarding, and tubing at Butternut. Did local trail hike in snow and sledded at nearby hill. Great time in GB!

The view is amazing!

We were in town for a memorial service and several family members stayed together in this house. We had a wonderful dinner on the patio Saturday night. My brother and his wife jumped in the pond for a swim. They said the water was crystal clear and refreshing!

Beautiful home

House was beautiful! Rooms are huge, kitchen is fully stocked, fireplace was a favorite spot after dinner to play card games. House is stock with lots of games. 1 room only has a tv which worked for us made us spend more time playing games and talking. Deck on main floor is huge and beautiful, we loved our stay here

Getaway in the Berkshire’s

This is a lovely home nestled in the Berkshire Hills where we enjoyed chilling on their open porch overlooking the pond and enjoying wine and cheese 😊 There was ample room for socializing and welcomed toiletries left for us in each of our rooms. Unfortunately upon arrival the kitchen area was in need of some serious cleaning. The owner and Evolve were very responsive to our needs. We would definitely rent here again.

My family just had a one week vacation in this home. It was stunning, immaculate and everything that is the description, was accurate. We had so much fun there and felt at home.

This was an excellent house. The lake view was excellent. The outdoor seating was ample. The screened in porch was awesome. The furniture was comfortable the beds were of average quality and in good condition. The house was very clean.We were visiting for a guys weekend and all of us had our own beds and space.Some down sides were, only one TV and it was in a small side room. There were some nice looking speakers in the living room area but the wires to them were clearly cut, total shame because it would be excellent to have some background music. The walk down to the lake is substantial and steep. The fireplace was missing a pane of glass so we could not use it to have a fire but the weather was too warm for it anyway and the property management offered to send someone out to fix it, but I passed. Many of the sinks needed some TLC because the spouts sprayed out wide in multiple directions because of hard water build up.The center of town is a few minute drive and had all of the regular amenities.Overall, good place for the price.

Avoid the Evolve Rental Agency

The property is very isolated out in the woods. We arrived after dark and found the house frighteningly unsecured, with the rear sliding door left completely open and the kitchen door unlocked. We initially had difficulty finding a cell phone signal, which was even more unsettling. We then discovered opened, partially consumed bottles of unidentifiable liquids and condiments in the refrigerator and the freezer filled with food packages, as if someone else were living there. We finally got through to the designated customer service representative who told us the maintenance man had probably left the doors open and that the owner requested to leave her food in the refrigerator rather than clean it out for the renter's use. We told her we considered this house to be in an unacceptable condition contrary to the rental agreement promising to provide clean, safe and secure living environment and that we therefore did not want to stay and demanded our money back. After ignoring our protests at first, saying she was only the cleaning lady and had no financial control, the customer service rep finally relented and contacted what she said was the owner and followed up with a call stating that we would indeed be granted a full refund. However, the following day we received a contradictory email from the Evolve Group saying that they would only offer us a 25% refund even though we left the same night we arrived and never stayed at the property at all. Very frustrating to say the least.
