Summary: This house is so easy to feel at-home in. It is not super luxurious, but it is as comfortable, and easy to live in as your own home. We found the beds comfortable and the baths and kitchen very nicely kept. Having the river in the back yard--wonderful! We'd be glad to stay again. One note for allergic people: One of the duvets is down, and all house laundry is done with scented detergent. It was easy to swap out the duvet because a non-down one was available, but we do wish no scent had been used.

Summary: Perfect place for a time-out, regroup, be quiet, listen to Nature, smell the leaves... We really enjoyed our stay. 'Rustic', for sure, but all amenities were there. Take a deep breath in and out when you enter and when you leave. You won't regret it.

Summary: What a wonderful weekend we spent in western mass at the Blue House! A quiet and beautifully restored home by a bend in the river gave us just the weekend we needed to celebrate a birthday and see great music at nearby Tanglewood! The living room picture window looks directly out on the river and the outdoor seating areas made for a great place to sit, eat and reflect. The communication with the hosts was fantastic and they were quick to answer any questions we had about the house and the area. Can’t wait to come back!

Summary: We stayed at the Blue House during our visit to the Berkshires. The location was simply perfect. We were able to explore all the restaurants, hikes and museums within a short drive. Our favorite part was the river behind the home. While not safe to swim, it provides an amazing setting for a very relaxing vacation. We spent hours observing the ducks, beavers, storks, fireflies and birds while lounging in the background. The house was very clean and well stocked. Communication with the host was also great. We highly recommend this property!

Summary: We had a wonderful time here while visiting our son at school in Salisbury CT. The house is on a beautiful bend on the Housatonic River. It's super close to Great Barrington for shopping and restaurants. The house was perfect for a family of four, we loved sitting at the big picture window, or at the small terrace down by the river. Everything in the house worked really well we would definitely come back again! The hosts are great very responsive and gave us some great recommendations for things to do in the area.
