My sister and I had a wonderful stay in Douglas' home. Our arrival time got delayed but Douglas was waiting for us when we arrived. The house is beautiful and our room was nice. Douglas provided everything we needed. The best part of our stay (and unfortunately we couldn't stay very long because we had a bit of a drive to finish) was the delicious and adorable breakfast Douglas provided for us. Coffee, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, granola and fresh fruit. It was a great start to our day, especially because we went straight to bash bish falls and monument mountain (both very short car rides away). Overall, a wonderful experience!! Thanks Douglas!!!

This place is the perfect weekend getaway and the ideal launching pad for all things Berkshires and Upstate, Hudson. The house is very comfortable, with great rooms, amenities and relaxing patio. The absolute best part of our stay was our gracious host, Doug. What a star. He was kind enough to provide everything we needed, from breakfast every morning to lots of local knowledge of things to do and see. He even invited us to a dinner party that he hosted for his friends that Saturday evening where he served up a 3-course meal and cocktails galore! Good timing on our part, I guess : ) This is definitely a place that we plan to return to. Big thanks to Doug for being such an awesome host.

Loved it. Gorgeous, tasteful.

Danny and Douglas's home is very warm and inviting. It's an old historic home with a balance of modern flair in the furnishings and art. My room was well appointed and had great small touches like water, fresh baked cookies and a personal guide to the local restaurants and attractions in the area. I would definitely like to return if I'm in the area again.

Two thumbs way up for Douglas and his beautiful house. He went above and beyond my expectations to make me feel welcome and to make my stay easy and relaxing. He made himself very available to offer recommendations on the area and to show me a few local attractions. I definitely would stay again.

Even though we arrived there pretty late, we had no problem at al to find our space and it was well prepared. The bathroom sink has some rust, but it did not cause any problem. Cozy and nice place if you want to hang around that area.

Great house, great host, great location! Doug made us feel very welcome and had a wonderful continental breakfast for us to enjoy!

I loved staying with Douglas, Danny, and Dean! The house is very comfortable, impeccably decorated, and most importantly the hosts were lovely. Douglas and Dean are very smart, warm, and interesting guys and they were able to strike the perfect balance of offering conversation and inviting me to socialize with them while allowing me space and privacy. I really cannot recommend them or their amazing home more highly. The butler's pantry stocked with snacks and drinks and the hutch upstairs stocked with toiletries are examples of the little touches that made me feel more comfortable and welcome. Next time I am in the Berkshires I hope to stay with them again!

Prior to our visit, Bill was very proactive in giving us detailed directions to his apartment. He also rearranged the beds in one room so that we could sleep comfortably. While we reached very late and he couldn't meet us in person, he (and his wife) met us when we were leaving. Our interaction with him was very positive and we just wished we could have met him when we reached. The neighborhood was a little quiet - but then Hillsdale is a very small town. However, there was a well stocked convenience store and a gas station ~2min walk away from where we got supplies and fuel easily. The apartment was fantastic and was actually better looking than what the photos show. It was modern, compact and very well furnished. It wouldn't feel out of place in Midtown Manhattan. Overall a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend this place to everyone.

We had the most wonderful time staying at the Althouse-Higgins house. From the moment we arrived, Bill and Lynn made us feel welcome and comfortable. They afforded us as much privacy as we wanted, but were always available for questions about the area, places to see, etc. In short, they were the perfect hosts. And the accommodations were so lovely. The private-entrance apartment was absolutely beautiful (and immaculate), with a really cool balance of modern-chic and vintage elements. It had all of the modern amenities, yet was housed in the historic gem of a house that Bill and Lynn have so skillfully and artfully renovated. Our boys had such a wonderful time and talked often about what a great find the apartment was! This was our first Airbnb experience and, I must say, the bar has been set very high for all of our future trips! We will definitely be staying at Althouse-Higgins whenever we're in the Berkshires. Thank you, Bill and Lynn, for making our stay as comfortable and relaxing as we could have ever wanted!

Our stay at the Althouse-Higgins home was exactly as described. The hosts have created a well appointed, stylish apartment above their art gallery and shop. We were visiting for a wedding a few towns away and found our location in Hillsdale to be perfectly situated and easily accessible to Lenox, Great Barrington, Copake, and Ancram. The home is just a short distance from a fantastic restaurant; you can enjoy the benefits of being in the center of town, but retreat to a quiet, private, and very comfortable home. If back in Hillsdale we would definitely visit again.

Bill and Lynne have a wonderful place. It's perfect to relax and explore Columbia County as well as Great Barrington and beyond. The apartment is beautiful, modern, super clean and perfectly equipped.

Wonderful apartment in a great location in Hillsdale. Large rooms, comfy beds, a great shower, and a kitchen with everything you need. Bill and Lynne have really thought of everything. We had an absolutely lovely experience, and will definitely be staying here again when we visit the area.

Bill and his wife were terrific hosts. Both were very friendly and very accommodating. The apartment and entire building itself were recently completely renovated so everything is brand new and very welcoming. His wife has a shop below the apartment which is really cute and has consignment items. We had a wedding to go to and she was so nice and lent us her clothes steamer for my dress which was wrinkled from traveling. The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated and had very comfortable beds. The location was great. As a family of five, we found it very convenient to be walking distance to town where we could get breakfast or ice cream for the kids and check out the cute antique shops. Also, the local IGA supermarket was within walking distance so we could pick up some groceries too and my kids enjoyed the park/playground which was also in walking distance. Overall, a great stay. We would highly recommend it and look forward to returning - hopefully, very soon!!!

Bill was fantastic, very friendly and engaging. He met our group when we arrived and chatted about the apartment and the area. He really has out done himself with the remodel on this fantastic old house. The four of us had a great stay, much nicer than we anticipated and plan on staying again, next time we are in the area.

This place is "above and beyond" as it exceeded my expectations. Very private, very clean, very nice area..what more can I say? I look forward to coming here in the winter and will try to get this place again. Thank you Bill!

I really enjoy the staying for 2 weeks, the room is clean an big, you have enough space to storage your clothes, Merry and Guy both the most friendly and helpers hostess they invited us to have dinner an swim in the other house, we really enjoyed our stayed

This is a beautiful old house. It is clean, organized, private, and spacious. The room was well equipped with clean sheets, towels, soap, etc... Merry is very welcoming and professional. I certainly recommend staying at this house.

Merry kept in touch with us until and after we arrived, and welcomed us on arrival. The house is an antique treasure; the upstairs is period appropriately modernized, and the ground floor presently under some work. We had full access to the kitchen and fridge, as we had brought food, and needed ice each day for our cooler. Only coffee and tea are provided for breakfast, so we found some wonderful local sites to eat with information provided by the host. The yard outside is magnificent, with flowers, birds and seating clusters, and there are vases of flowers all over the house. We will be back for the folk festival next year!

Beautiful room in a lovely farmhouse, just down the road from Catamount. We had a very restful stay and would highly recommend. Merry and Guy were great hosts.

Merry and Gus were wonderful hosts, greeting us and making sure we knew where everything is. The house is charming, and the room is spacious and airy. I felt very comfortable and definitely would stay again.

Merry was a fantastic host. Her house was beautiful. She was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area. It was a spacious room and a beautiful yard.

We stayed the weekend at Merry's place. The house is beautiful and well decorated. Bed is comfy and sheets are lovely. Lots of storage and super clean. Great location, close to everything we needed. Merry and Guy are an easy hosts and very helpful. Will defiantly book this room again.

Me and my gf stayed here for 2 weeks and Guy and Merry couldn't have been more helpful. I highly recommend this place

Kathy was in constant communication with us from the time we booked to the time we checked out. Nothing was lacking. The location was perfect - a quiet and secluded area with a lovely back yard and beautiful view of the night sky. All the necessary amenities were provided (even some bonus treats in the fridge and garden) and the house was rustic without feeling antiquated.

Kathy's place was a very comfortable and peaceful spot to ring in the New Year. Kathy welcomed us and our dog with tasty treats and plenty of wood to keep the stove going. We really enjoyed the home's artistic touches and exploring the hiking trails in nearby state parks. Kathy was extremely responsive to our questions and gave us some great tips on places to explore. This is a great place for a pleasant retreat in a great area – thanks Kathy!

Charming and comfortable house on beautiful grounds with an overflowing vegetable garden that Kathy generously shared. Best tomatoes ever. Nicely located as well.

We had a great stay at Kathy's warm and cozy house. Kathy was extremely hospitable in providing us with fire wood for the wood stove and even leaving a welcome chocolate for us! The house is situated close to a whole range of great outdoor activities and to the town of Great Barrington! The only thing we thought was missing was any curtains on the windows, but this might just be us. Overall we loved our stay and will definitely go back!

Kathy's house is the safe haven away from the city that feels like a safe haven. If you have a weekend and need to escape, go here. Kathy has everything n her house, it is pretty unique place with amazing decor. The living room is to die for with a mix of european and asian influences decor. It's loverly. You can make yourself a fire and just sit there while enjoying the utter darkness and quiet surrounding you. It's an amazing relaxing retreat. We didn't get to meet Kathy herself but she provided us with everything we needed in order to make our stay super enjoyable and she was still super quick and easy to reach while on holidays so you can't beat that. The only thing I'd mention, for the faint of heart, in case you really can't sleep without curtain,you might want to look elsewhere was Kathy has kept her windows open and truth is you get no vis à vis from anywhere around you, you are 100% secluded but if you truly are scared about a boogyman, then maybe sleep with a light on :). To summarize, give yourself a treat and drive to Kathy's place, it's super eclectic and i would even say eccentric, the decor will just delight you, if you want outdoors, it's just there, best way to get escape NYC ever and Kathy is a great host and interior decorator for sure.

Beautiful sanctuary in the Berkshires. We enjoyed the peace and idyllic beauty of the surrounds. A great backyard for my dogs to run around and a sweet and charming front porch to spend the evening outside, The house is adorable with so many creative touches in every nook and cranny. We had a wonderful stay at Kathy's ! She even left us biscuits for breakfast! Truly a wonderful host.

The host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kathy was a great host who quickly responded to any questions. The house is beautiful, and provides a very peaceful getaway. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil stay, surrounded by nature. The towns of Great Barrington and Hudson are just short, scenic drives away, and have everything one might need. I would highly recommend dinner at Allium in Great Barrington. Excellent food and friendly staff!

We couldn't have asked for anything more from Sara & Kyle's sweet and impeccably decorated home in Hillsdale. The location is just minutes from the town of Hillsdale and conveniently located to get to Chatham, Great Barrington and other surrounding towns and sights. If anything, the photos can't do justice to the character inside this cozy retreat. Upon arrival, Sara was there to greet us with freshly brewed coffee and local treats. They were prompt and easy to communicate with and we will definitely return next time we're in the area. We were sad to leave! 5 stars!

Loved this little retreat in Hillsdale. Perfect getaway for a couple - it's a great little house that's well-stocked with great reading material, sort of perfectly curated DVD's and good vibes. A short drive from all of the Berkshire towns - really enjoyed our time there!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sara and Kyle's charming home in Hillsdale. Everything was clean, well-kempt, and as it appeared in the photos. Sara and Kyle were very responsive before our trip; during our actual stay, they were out of town, but we were still able to get quick answers from their very capable friend Jonney, whom they left in charge as house liaison. The location does not feel isolated (we could sometimes hear neighbors talking next door, and the house is right off the road), but it was still easy to relax. We enjoyed playing Trivial Pursuit and watching Netflix and using the cute little notebook grill at the house.

Sara was great to communicate with and it was simple and stress-free getting to their wonderful hudson-valley retreat. We had a relaxing weekend drinking coffee on their back patio, listening to tunes inside, and would surely reach back out to stay if we found ourselves again needing a place in the area. Close to some great upstate gems, as well. Recommended for sure!

Sara and Kyle's place is great. Super close to all the berkshire towns and just the right size. There's a little bit of traffic noise since it's right off the road, but the place is wonderfully decorated and really feels like home.

Sara and Kyle were extremely responsive and we were able to communicate through text messages. The home was extremely clean/ The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary utensils, basic staples, spices, etc. They even left us hard cider in the fridge! The decor is modern and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable - just watch your head, if you're sleeping on the low side! The location is great - it's right in town and easy accessible to both Routes 22 and 23. Even though it's located on a main road, there are very few cars late at night, so it was not even an issue. They've got plenty of books around, if you forget to bring your own reading material.

Sara was wonderful and communicative throughout the entire process and though we didn't meet in person, it was a very easy booking . The cabin is cozy, rustic, and very enjoyable. The area is just spectacular, full of farm stands, hiking trails, and wildflowers all around. I imagine Fall must be spectacular time to visit! My one issue was with the traffic noise --- the cabin resides on one the main roads in the area, and you definitely hear every car and truck that rolls past the cabin. Definitely not the worst thing ever, but if you're looking for complete silence and serenity this might bother you a bit.

Fantastic home in a beautiful part of New York State. Hope to stay again sometime!

We had a nice stay at the JP Dorr house. It's close walking distance to food/shopping in Hillsdale and there's a big backyard which is probably great in the summer.

Host was extremely responsive.

While I never met our host face to face, she was very communicative throughout the entire process. Her instructions were clear, her home was in great repair, and all of our expectations were met. A fully stocked home in all respects.

We were a group of 7, with 4 adults and 3 older children. The JP Dorr House worked beautifully for us. From the beginning, Lisa was very helpful and accommodating, and the house fit our needs well. We were traveling with a small dog, and the house was pet friendly and safe for a well-trained animal. When we arrived, we were first struck by the lovely landscaping which included herb gardens, apple trees, a vegetable garden, and various ornamental flowers. While the front of the house is close to the road, the back is quite private, and there is a lovely pool (not new, but well-maintained and clean) and a bath house. We did not use the grill, but it was in good repair. Inside the house, the kitchen area is funky in a charming way. There is a very small cooking area, a small pantry, and a large eating area. From the kitchen, one can take the back stairs to a couple of garret style - with dormers and multiple floor levels. There are three single beds in those two rooms, and the decor is quite charming. On the other side of the kitchen is the main part of the house - living and dining areas, and upstairs - 2 master style, spacious bedrooms (featuring queen beds) complete with fireplaces. All the beds were reported to be comfortable. In each of the rooms, drawers had been cleared for us, and there were hooks for hanging garments, towels and the like. With the bath house, there are three full baths, and the downstairs bath features a front loading washer and dryer - allowing you to dry towels and bathing suits. Lisa has supplied the house with numerous games, books, puzzles, wifi, directTV, and even a keyboard for music making in case of a rainy day, and for those beautiful days, she has guides for exploring, and pool toys for sunnier days. The location is perfect - located on a main thoroughfare within an hour or so of Hancock Shaker Village, Bard College, Williams College, Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, Clark Museum and MassMOCA, so you can't go wrong. We would definitely give this house a high recommendation.

We stayed in Lisa's house over a fun summer weekend. I took my mother, my 6-year old son and a friend with his 4 year old boy. The house was perfect for young children. Lisa leaves lots of toys and books for children, and the pool and swings out back were the highlight of the trip. The house has a very relaxed vibe and fit all of us plus our nanny comfortably. We would definitely stay again.

The house was great, everything we wanted. It's a beautiful setting and very quirky and interesting inside (hidden staircase anyone?) The garden was very large, perfect for free running kids plus the dog. We grilled all meals and relaxed outside most of the time. We really enjoyed the pool also, and having it gated off was a real plus for the parents. Would definitely stay again.

My family (daughter, sister, and our dogs) really enjoyed our stay. The house has a very homey feel and the grounds are beautiful. Lisa left us a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy and checked in to make sure we were all set. I would definitely stay here again!

The host made us feel very welcome. She was attentive and kept in touch through messaging. The house was historic and convenient; well appointed. We appreciated the snacks. The swimming pool was divine.

We were a group of 4 couples looking for a place to relax, cook and enjoy nature. Kate's place was exactly what we needed. The space is comfortable and large enough to give everyone privacy. the kitchen together with the outdoor grill offered us everything required for cooking up delicious meals. the setting is quiet and very beautiful, being tucked away from the road (a quiet road to begin with) and with a awesome back yard and open space. Hiking trails are only a 15 minute drive with beautiful mountains, rivers and forest. The town has a good grocery store and a couple of bars if looking for a place to hang out. The listing is accurate, Kate is very communicative and quick to respond and the entire experience was great. I would return again to the cabin in the Berkshires!

The cabin was perfect for my family. It was clean, well tended to, and well stocked with everything that we could have needed and more. The family had a blast with the fire pit in the back, spacious back and front yard, bubbling brook, and picnic area. We were looking to enjoy the outdoors at the end of the summer, and the location and home were perfect. Kate was very responsive and helpful as we were planning our trip. Thank you Kate for all you did to make this trip wonderful and memorable.

Kate was a great host. The house was perfectly clean and organized and absolutely beautiful. Kate went above and beyond to give us an great experience. Hillsdale is wonderful.

Absolutely lovely, amenable cabin, in a beautiful area of New York. Perfect for a relaxed, homey getaway for the weekend. Kate was an informative, responsive host. Thank you!

A beautiful cabin right outside the heart of downtown. Spacious, functional, and wonderful grounds.

The cabin is really nice and rustic, and on a summer day the pic nic table under the trees in the back yard transforms your lunch experience. The kitchen is convenient though not very spacious. The living room furniture was inviting and comfortable, and so that even if the beds weren't great, the house in its entirety made this a perfect spot for a family get-together. We particularly enjoyed hearing the stream when sitting on the front porch! Would recommend to friends!

We found the house charming, spacious, comfortable and secluded. Loved the shady front porch and the gurgling creek, the splendid back yard and the barbecue. We hope to be back.

Kate's cabin in Hillsdale is a spacious rustic home in a beautiful rural setting. We were three couples spending the weekend and enjoyed our accommodations. Great value for a group spending time in this beautiful part of New York. Thank you, Kate, for being so welcoming to our group.

This was one of our favorite AirBnB experiences ever for several reasons. First, the house and setting are beautiful - we Brooklynites were content to wake up with beautiful horses and deer grazing outside our window and the sun rising over the Autumn-laced hills in the distance. The house is spotlessly clean, beautiful and comfortable. It feels like it was and is cared for and decorated with loving attention and warmth. We were three families with 1 toddler girl (22-24 months) each and a newborn. The house is great for young families as there some baby-friendly items -- a crib, high chair and gates - available. It would be even more fun to come back when the girls are a little older, as the third floor has a room with 4 little beds, perfect for kids. Second, Christa was a super communicative, responsive, organized, helpful and friendly host. Everything went so smoothly in large part because of Christa's hospitality. In short, this was a perfect getaway for urbanites seeking a country experience. The setting is beautifully rustic and rural, but the amenities are plentiful and modern.

We had a lovely weekend at Christa's farmhouse. The pictures don't do this beautiful house and property justice. It is one of the best Airbnb's we've stayed at. The house is in excellent condition and very comfortable. Christa was a very thoughtful and generous host, making our weekend away even more special. We will definitely be back to stay again.

We had such a lovely time at the Farm house, Christa was very communicative in the lead up and we were delighted to be able to order organic vegetables from her farm and she even brought them over and put them in the fridge ready for our arrival with a lovely complimentary watermelon. She gave us lot of tips on the area when asked including locals swimming spots and the farmers market. The house is big and open and airy and so removed and surrounded by so much open space and fields it really is a spectacular escape from the city.. We will definitely return!

One of my fellow travelers described Christa's house as "the most beautiful farmhouse I've ever seen. Wow wow wow." The setting is exquisite and Christa was a fantastic host - she even gave us fresh cherries. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at the Farmhouse. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful. The hostess was very kind and helpful! Highly recommend it!!

Christa's home was just what we were looking for. It was spacious, comfortable and had the most breathtaking views. We did not realize it was literally on a farm, which was perfect for the kids. Christa was so helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations, a great all around host! Thank you.

This beautiful farmhouse is almost something out of a storybook. The pictures don't do it justice; they're nice, the house is even nicer. When you drive up to the house, whether it's day or night, it shines like a beautiful gem on a hill. The front porch is beautiful and inviting, the kitchen large and accommodating, the living room warm and cozy and large enough for big groups or intimate conversation. The bedrooms and bathrooms beautiful, especially the matter with the canopy king bed, vaulted ceiling, and great master bath. And if the house weren't enough, Christa is hands down the best host you could ask for, leaving special touches like a personalized welcome sign and fresh goodies from the farm and local area. I can be a picky traveler, but this experience far exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to come back! You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay at this idyllic horse farm house!

Christa was very welcoming and accommodating. The house was even better than it appeared in the photos. The furniture is high quality, and all the rooms in the house are spacious. The location is a perfect mix of a "retreat" feeling, or isolation, but also has everything you need close by including a supermarket, restaurants, gas station, and some wonderful hikes. My family had a fantastic trip.

Great location and a fantastic barn/house combo. This house loves good people and Ian + his caretakers were very welcoming during our stay. A campfire on the hilltop overlook was the highlight for our group, thanks again. -TM

We had a great week at PKHF. The house was perfect for 2 families (10 people total). We loved the large dining table, hot tub and all the connected technology. The location was perfect for skiing at Catamount and everything we needed was within 3 minutes drive. Ian was a great host and made the whole experience hassle free. Everything was as advertised!

Had a wonderful time at Ian's; yard, house, and barn were bigger/nicer/better than expected, and all charming as could be. We had 15 adults in beds without an issue. Hot tub was great. Easy communication with Ian throughout. Would definitely stay again.

Ian was amazing - he really went above and beyond to get the hot tub in working order before we arrived (and it we very much appreciated). We had a fantastic time - this was a trip a group of college friends have been doing for 12 years and this was the first year everyone instantly agreed we had to come back to this house in the future. It's so comfortable and there is so much to do - top marks all around!

Ian's place was great! My friends and I came up from Brooklyn over Halloween weekend. The house is very cozy. There were 15 of us, and we all had a bed. There is enough space for a large group and 3 full bathrooms. The Wassaic metro north train station is 35 min away and really easy to get to/from. On Friday we had a monster mash horror disco dance party in the barn. Other reviewers are not kidding when they say "roller disco." There are about 15 pairs of roller skates, a large wooden floor, a few 15" powered speakers, a drum set, and a disco ball. On actual Halloween, we did a murder mystery. The room with the projector was our salon, and the dining room had a table big enough to fit everyone comfortably. We did the big reveal at the fire pit on top of the hill behind the barn. We also enjoyed the hot tub, trampoline, and the floor level of the barn that has pool, Foosball, black light dance studio, ping pong and a separate stereo system.

beautiful house and barn in bucolic, charming hillsdale, new york! we were a group of 10 ladies celebrating our friend's engagement and upcoming wedding, and had plenty of room and lots of things to do at the house and grounds! we didn't even end up having time to use the jacuzzi, but the kitchen is great, the radiant heating in the master bedroom and bathroom was a lovely surprise, and the barn and disco ball can't be beat! we had an unforgettable time, and ian was available at any time if we had any questions or issues.

We had a fantastic experience! Ian was very communicative leading up to and throughout our stay. The foliage in the area was astounding and the barn was full of fun games and activities that made our stay really special. I came with a group of colleagues for a small retreat and the space allowed for privacy when needed as well as plenty of space in the common areas for collaborating together. Would definitely recommend!

This was my second time staying at Pixley Knob. It was a no-brainer for my friends and me to come back for another killer Halloween weekend. The barn was clean and ready for my DJ friend to connect his mixer and play all the disco dance party jams. The hot tub was steamy perfection. And the house was full of all the cozy vibes for lazy, hungover mornings. This place is awesome. You'll want to stay here.

We had a wonderful stay, thank you for allowing us in your house, and being such a great host.

Such a cozy home and beautiful property. Edmund was a pleasure to work with and answered all questions promptly. We will definitely be staying again in the future!

Edmund's home was excellent for our weekend trip. If you're into American colonial era architecture, you'll find the home incredibly charming. It does a wonderful job mixing the old with the most modern touches (except the showering mechanism, which is quaint but not super modern). The kitchen is bright and airy, one of the most beautiful spaces in the house. The bedrooms are excellent for a couple and children, and the full size bed in the exterior cabin makes a great third bedroom during warm weather. But despite a wood-burning furnace, the cabin bedroom felt a little sub-optimal when the weather was on the colder side. Communication with Edmund, and key pickup, was easy and convenient. All in all, it was a pretty perfect place to spend a weekend.

Charming, cozy house in a beautiful area. Super clean and welcoming. Vicki, the host cares a lot about her home and was there to welcome us and show us around - her small garden with fresh Kale, Swiss Chard, tomatoes... hammocks, fire pit, grill. We had a lovely stay.

We enjoyed our stay, Vicky was welcoming and very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The house is small with a lot of rooms, filled with lots of seating and things. It's clean and cozy. Maybe too tight for larger families. There were just two of us, and we loved the outdoors, as we could just leave with our bikes. The area is very hilly but so beautiful. It was a nice base for our trip, located right inbetween Hudson and Great Barrington.

Vicki was extremely communicative and helpful in helping us arrange our visit. The house is lovely, especially the outdoor area where we lounged around playing scrabble and reading. Everything was exactly as Vicki explained and we had a great time!

Douglas was an amazing host, very gracious and hospitable. His place is beautiful and immaculate.

Douglas's hospitality made us feel right at home. He was so helpful and gave us excellent suggestions for restaurants and activities. His home is comfortable and tastefully decorated, and we loved hanging out on the porch for a while in the evening. The bedroom is lovely, with a great bed. The old-house bathroom is charming, but the claw foot tub-shower setup was somewhat challenging for my handicapped husband. All in all, an excellent stay!

Douglas was very thoughtful and made us feel right at home. We look forward to a return visit. The country side is gorgeous and the restaurants around were quite good. The representation of the lodging was spot on.

I had a very pleasant stay with Douglas. The house is very charming and in a great location on a quiet tree lined street but within walking distance to everything in the village. He is convenient to many things in the Berkshires and Hudson NY. The bedroom was very nice with a comfortable bed and I had my own bathroom. Douglas put out a nice selection of breakfast items for me in the morning. I would stay here again for sure and hope to come back soon.

Douglas was simply amazing, so sweet, the place is super clean. I love this place so relaxing, it was just perfect!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this location. Douglas was a very inviting and inclusive host. He had several good suggestions for activities and restaurants in the area. The house was stylishly decorated, yet felt relaxed and unforced. We had open reign to hang out in several nicely appointed areas: living room with TV, sun room nook, front room, dining area, butler's pantry, and kitchen. The neighborhood is pretty rustic and quiet, but was safe enough that it was unnecessary to lock the doors at night. This allowed us to come and go at will very nicely. Also, there were chickens wandering freely around the area. We stayed in the bedroom that included an en suite bathroom, which I recommend for privacy. When we were there, the area was experiencing a heat wave, which required full time use of the AC unit in the bedroom window. The bathroom included an old farm style sink and a standalone bathtub with a ceiling-mounted wraparound shower curtain giving that old timey feel. Overall, we had a great stay at this location. We would recommend it to anyone looking to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, but for whom getting away means you have to resign yourself to ill-thought-out accommodations.

Douglas, Danny and Dean the dog made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Their home is beautiful, our bedroom/bathroom/bed were very comfortable and perfect, and we appreciated having our own fridge to use on the first floor, which was kindly stocked with water and drinks. Hillsdale is a great small town, and we enjoyed being close to Hudson and Copake without staying *in* either Hudson or Copake. The place D recommended we go to for dinner was fantastic, a wonderful surprise. It was my birthday while we were visiting and not only did they leave cookies for us before bed, but we woke up to a wonderful breakfast with a delicious little birthday cake. We had such a great time and look forward to doing it again.

We had a great time at Douglas's beautiful home. The house is perfection in every way and Douglas an amazing host. He made us feel very much at home, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay is enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend. Thank you Douglas!!!

Merry's cozy & beautiful home was just perfect for us. She was lovely & accommodating with check in & out! We only stayed one night but wishing we could have stayed longer to enjoy more! We will definitely be coming back!

Merry's pictures does not do her house justice. It is super cozy and you get a feeling that many novels or master art pieces have been created in this house. All the furniture is hand picked and we felt right at home. There was even a cat that greeted us welcome when we arrived. In the morning the coffee brewer was ready with a packet of really good coffee and mugs conveniently place close by. We found a wonderful breakfast place about a mile west called Dutch treat. I sincerely hope Merry lets us come up for a visit again soon!!!

Merry was very warm, friendly and helpful. When we first arrived, she showed us around her home and offered suggestions of where to go in the area.

We had a lovely time staying at Merry and Guy's home. They were very accommodating in our arrival (even as we ran later than expected due to traffic) and gave us some excellent recommendations for hikes, restaurants and other fun activities. The home is in a great location - only 15 minutes to Hudson and only 15 minutes into western MA, as well as just a 1 minute drive down the road to a grocery store and a few shops. We would definitely visit again!

Merry could not have been kinder. I highly recommend this house. She was very responsible and met me exactly when she said she would to give me the keys. I would totally stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay at Merry and her boyfriend Guy's home. Guy greeted us upon our arrival and kindly showed us around. The house was incredibly welcoming and cozy. It is decorated with a country elegance including a few pieces of Hillsdale history. My family instantly settled in. Oh and the bedrooms! In addition to being beautifully furnished, they have the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Thank you for the well needed rest!

I stayed there with my sisters (there were 5 of us) for my birthday celebration at Tanglewood . Merry made us feel very welcome. There was plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. We enjoyed the kitchen, back yard garden, lovely dining area, and relaxed atmosphere.

My friends and I had a very last minute booking with Merry for New Year's Eve and she was so kind and helpful! The house is cute and the beds were really comfortable. We weren't there to ski, but went for a great long hike/walk at the Bash Bish Waterfall--totally perfect!
