Great for Family

The farmhouse was perfect for our family getaway weekend with our adult children. Very spacious living room, dining room, and five bedrooms helped make our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Elaine, the property's owner, was very accommodating and informative. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are visiting the Berkshires.

We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! We were five adults. The house was comfortable, very clean, spacious and well stocked. The house is pet friendly and the property made it easy to walk our dog. The host was friendly, very responsive and even picked a fresh salad for us from her garden. Our host had many wonderful recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. The location is perfect for activities in the Berkshires. We plan to return.

Elaine was a wonderful host! She greeted us with beautiful flowers and fresh vegetables from her garden. She provided great advice on local travel and restaurants. Genuinely historic and comfortable farmhouse, well stocked with all the amenities! House is well located for Tanglewood and other Berkshire attractions. We particularly loved the screened porch and the spacious dining room. She is also a talented potter with whimsical treasures for sale in her shop near the farmhouse.
Lovely flowers on the property!

4 friends in the Berkshires

This is a quaint farmhouse with a fabulous porch for breakfast and evening cocktails. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water and the hostess, Elaine has thought of everything you could possibly need. She shares her fresh produce from her garden to add to our meals. She is very helpful with directions and information on local sites. The location is perfect for exploring the best the Bershires has to offer! We had a wonderful week! We look forward to returning soon!

Elaine was a wonderful host, and I highly recommend her for your next stay. The house is roomy with plenty of space for our large party. There is no AC so we had a few uncomfortable nights but there were fans in every room which helped a great deal. We had a great time, and the house is in a perfect location Tanglewood, although Rt. 41 can be a very busy road. West Stockbridge is a quaint, lovely town with some exceptional foodie places.

Lovely place although a little dusty

The place has a lot of character, we loved the wooden materials and utensils. It's pretty spacious with 5 beds. No hot tub/jacuzzi, only shower, and no fire pit either. The host graciously gave us flowers and fresh vegetables from her garden. She was very communicative and emailed us lots of recommendations for activities in the area. The only complaint is the sofas and beddings are a quite dusty and gave us all allergies.

Spacious and Inviting

My wife and I wanted a place that was quiet with a comfortable reading room and accessible porch, close enough to town and still distant enough for serenity - and this house had it. Not that we needed it but it's important to acknowledge that the house has 5, count 'em, 5 bedrooms. It's a bit rustic, as disclosed, but the master bedroom upstairs was very comfortable. Plenty of sheets and towels and a very well-stocked kitchen. We did not need the dining room but that was a lovely room as well. The house is on Rte 41 so there was the sound of traffic, but at night so few cars passing it was not an issue. Our favorite room was the wide and comfortable screened-in porch, where I spent most of my time. The drive to Great Barrington is under 15 minutes and Stockbridge is even closer. All of this is delightful, but the best feature is Elaine's hospitality - always available if we needed anything but never interfering. She is fascinating: be sure to ask about her personal, worldly life experience.

Elaine was a gracious host, welcoming us with a bouquet of flowers and fresh cucumbers and lettuce, all from her lovely garden. The summer porch was our favorite place to gather. Our family and two dogs had a wonderful time. The location was perfect for visits to Tanglewood and Shakespeare & Co., Kripalu, hiking trails, Stockbridge, and Lenox. An added bonus was Elaine's pottery studio, where one of my daughters found a beautiful, hand made pitcher for her home.

Elaine is a wonderful host - so thoughtful and generous. We had a terrific family vacation with 5 adults and two dogs in this charming and well-situated home. We loved being close to Stockbridge, Great Barrington & Lenox, and we also took easy drives to Hudson and Williamstown. The house had plenty of seating, a large dining table, and a grill among many other great features. We loved sitting in the screened porch on some very hot summer days. We would absolutely return.

Quaint Berkshires farmhouse

This was the perfect place to gather for a group of adults (family and friends) coming together for a Tanglewood extended weekend. The charming farmhouse had lovely quaint details, such as exposed beams, wide plank floors, quirky closets. We spent most of our time and had all of our meals out on the ample screened porch, looking out over the lovely garden. The kitchen was well equipped. As it is an old house, we kept the windows open to keep it aired out. And thankfully every window had tight fitting screens and really effective fans, which were all we needed to stay comfortable even on hot nights. Elaine was a gracious and friendly host, and really made us feel welcomed. Our only reservation would be for people with mobility concerns: 4 bedrooms are up a steep and narrow staircase. This was not a concern for any of us, but it could be challenging for some, or for people with heavy luggage.

Great country house and setting

This house is a great country farm house with a great host. Elaine’s pottery shop is on the property and she was available whenever we had questions. She went over the house rules etc., gave us the keys and answered our questions when we got there. She has a big garden and shared fresh produce with us. Flowers too! The house has plenty of room and was the best stocked house of the many we stayed in. Our bed was so comfortable. There is a screened in back porch that we enjoyed during morning coffee. I saw several yard games that were for use. The tv was a little tricky to use but Elaine came and showed us how. This was a good house for our hiking group and would be a great place for families.
