Summary: Over Thanksgiving 2024, my wife and I had the privilege of staying at the Cottage in the Berkshires, and it was exactly as advertised. The kitchenette was just right for preparing breakfast, lunch, or enjoying a takeout dinner.The living areas were comfortable, though not oversized—perfect for my wife and me. The cottage was easy to find and conveniently located near amenities in Great Barrington.I cannot say enough about our hosts. On our checkout day, there was about an inch of snow, and the host kindly cleared the steps and put down sand to ensure safe footing as we, sadly, packed up to leave.If you are looking for a compact and cozy base to explore western Massachusetts, we wholeheartedly recommend the Cottage.

Summary: The cottage was perfect for two people. It was very clean and with many windows surrounded by trees. The efficiency kitchen is great for breakfast and other simple meals. The grounds are spacious and lovely. The cottage is the original part of the house and has a large screened in porch....nice for relaxing and reading.

Summary: I stayed at the cottage for 4 nights/5 days. As a woman traveling with her dog, I was hoping for a peaceful place where I could slow down and unwind in a country-like setting to read and write. This cottage perfectly fit the bill. The kitchen work area was relatively small, but it had everything I needed to fix simple meals: a toaster oven, microwave, electric teapot, auto-drip coffeemaker, and small refrigerator. The kitchen area opened up to a living room with good seating and good lighting. The bedroom had a full, well-organized closet, and the three windows offered plenty of light and fresh air. The bed was very clean and comfortable; I slept soundly in the moonlight that filled the room! The bathroom included plenty of thick, fluffy towels. My favorite area was the enclosed porch where I could cozy up with a good book on the futon, or take my meals on the porch's table. My overall impression of the cottage was that everything included was of excellent quality, from the couch pillows to the stoneware dishes and glassware. I would be amiss if I didn't mention the beauty of the property grounds. I loved walking the grounds in the evening. The property owners were very hospitable, each of them stopping by once to see if I needed anything, and whenever I texted them, they responded promptly. They offered me suggestions on where I could visit, buy food or dine out; plenty of options to choose from, only a few minutes drive from the cottage. I hope to return there soon!

Summary: The Cottage is exactly as described, comfortable for 2 people, artfully decorated, delightful. The hosts are warm and welcoming, attentive, but not intrusive. The location is quiet and lovely. A welcoming bottle of wine set the tone for the stay. We plan to return. 5+ stars!

Summary: it is just a cottage, very clean and comfortable. kitchen was a bit inadequate for us as it has no stove and not much counter space and a small sink. Outside property was very spacious and beautiful.

Summary: It would be impossible to miss the care that has gone into every aspect of this cottage. The home and grounds are beautiful. The quiet may not strike you right away, but over time, you notice how relaxing it is not to hear lots of traffic, etc. A great place to stay if you are looking for some quiet time in a beautiful location.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our mid-August 2021 six-night stay at Bruce and Shira’s Berkshire Cottage. The cottage is furnished as described and illustrated – cozy and comfortable; the grounds are beautiful, well maintained. Everything was clean, functional, and accessible. We were surprised and delighted to find a bottle of red and a fresh bag of pita chips upon arrival. We took advantage of the outdoor grill (provided with a full tank of propane!) which worked well to overcome the mid-summer rains. You can’t fight mother nature but the grill did the job. The robust wi-fi connection and the presence of a land-line (which we didn’t need) ensured we could connect with our local family when needed. Check-in was seamless thanks to instructions received a few days before we left home. We appreciated receiving these well in advance, as we arrived after sunset at the end of a 12 hour travel day. Shira checked-in with us a few days after arrival, just to see if we needed anything (we didn’t!). The check-out process was efficient and easy, though we were a bit sad that it was time to leave! From start to finish, Shira and Bruce were very prompt and transparent in response to our questions, all of which helped simplify our trip planning. They are model hosts, their dog is delightful, and the cottage was perfect for our stay.
