This is my first private room on Airbnb. I was unsure about having a shared bathroom, but Douglas made us feel that we owned the place. I was blown away on how much he cares for his guests by watching out for us when we arrived late and preparing breakfast every morning. He takes pride of his place which is absolutely beautiful. He is also respectful of our privacy and was considerate by asking if we have a problem with dogs, which we didn't. His dog was so adorable. Douglas was a great host and was very friendly to us which made our stay very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

Douglas was a gracious host, and his home was beautifully curated! We especially enjoyed having a few glasses of rosé on the front porch and the delicious coffee and breakfast that was waiting for us each morning. Douglas had great recommendations around the area, and a short walk for ice cream in the hamlet was a fantastic treat. A shout out to our new friends Elke and Norah who were also staying with Douglas during our visit. There was plenty of space to accommodate all of us comfortably.

Douglas was very easy going and and an amazing host. He gave us a tour upon arrival and had refrigerator stocked with water, soda, and candy etc. He also made sure there was bottled water in our room later. He knows the area very well and is only about 25 minutes to Tanglewood. Hillsdale Vintage Village is even nicer than the photos he has posted. His lil dog is a joy and kids will love trying to keep up with him in the yard. The porch swing in front was very nice and relaxing, and the breakfast we awoke to on Sunday was amazing. Douglas has put lots of detail into his home and it translates into one of the best AirBnB experiences ever.

Douglas was a fantastic host. He is an exceptionally warm and welcoming person. The house was great--The rooms are comfortable, everything is nicely decorated, and the porch was a relaxing spot to spend some down-time. It's also in a nice, quiet area, but it's also nicely situated so that you can get to other fun places in the area. In one of my messages before our stay, I mentioned that I was traveling for my birthday weekend. When I went downstairs on the first morning of my stay, along with an assortment of other tasty foods, there was a little birthday cake with a candle in it. Seriously, who does that? Douglas does that, and Douglas is amazing. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay!

Douglas and Danny were the perfect hosts and am so glad they were our hosts the first night of our trip especially after a long 8 hour drive. The bedroom was cozy especially as Douglas had turned on the mattress heaters before we arrived. Good advice about where to eat and all options were within a block of our casa. Wonderful, generous breakfast laid out in the morning with a good dollop of conversation and laughter. Many little touches and thoughtful gestures made this a truly special stay. Thank you for sharing your home and taking the time to make us feel so welcome and comfortable.

Douglas was great in every way. House is beautiful and peaceful, nice breakfast and big screen TV in the living room.

Douglas is an absolutely spectacular host. I cannot say enough about him and his gorgeous home. Douglas proactively contacted me in advance of my arrival with very helpful info (beyond the basic requirements) and was responsive to texts immediately as my friend and I were en route to Hillsdale (even so much as to recommending a late-night restaurant as we arrived later than expected). His house is gorgeous -- I want him to do interior design for my home! :) The accommodations are immaculate and every detail is tended to (cookies by the bedside, morning newspaper and coffee made ... amongst the perfect breakfast that the other reviews describe). I would recommend Douglas and his home over any other accommodation in this area -- Really well done! Thank you!

Douglas was a gracious and thoughtful host. He greeted us when we arrived and had delicious cookies waiting for us in our room. The house was delightfully decorated and spotlessly clean. His dog, Dean was so sweet as well. Douglas had great suggestions of places to go in the area. We had a fabulous stay and will certainly be back.

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.

This was the perfect place to stay for a group of friends to take a weekend trip to Tanglewood. The place was really cute, there were a lot of beds, and we really enjoyed staying there!

Lovely property as shown in pictures. Cabin was clean & sleeping quarters were comfortable. Plenty room in sleeping quarters and outdoor space for a group. Had privacy but still only less than a 5 minute drive to supermarket, gas station, diners, etc. Cabin provided fast & sufficient heating during the cold weekend. Great that my dog was allowed to join us.

We had a wonderful stay at Kate's cabin. It was very clean and the pictures were accurate. We had great hikes nearby and enjoyed going in to Great Barrington to shop and eat. Our dog had a wonderful time on the large property! Kate was very helpful, even being a good sport about us calling with a question on Thanksgiving Day!

Peaceful house in the woods. Clean accommodations. Excellent decor. And fresh black raspberries for the picking in the backyard!

A lovely cabin in a lovely area! The bridge over the stream to enter was really beautiful to enter the property. There were six of us staying, and that seemed like the perfect number, even if there are more beds - we fit comfortably in the living area and around the table. We generally found the beds comfortable. The kitchen was quite efficient, and well stocked for cooking - we ate most of our meals in the area. The area is quiet and very bucolic. We would all like to return! Kate was quick to answer any questions we had.

Secluded, cozy cabin and at the same time close enough to hiking trails, supermarket and liquor store. The brook in front of the house is so romantic and the backyard is really big too. A last minute emergency required some changes to our trip and the host Kate was so accommodating, quickly to respond and nice! Thank you for a fantastic getaway in the Nature!

Had a great stay in this cabin with close friends and our kids. It's a great blend of comfort and rustic-style. We stayed in the summer and had fun using the fire pit but I can imagine it would also be super cozy watching the snow fall while snuggled up on the couch ( which is also really comfy!). All in all the place was just what we were looking for... A step out of fast-paced life but with all the amenities you need to still be comfortable!

Lovely home on a secluded and quiet hill. Really enjoyed getting to know the local rabbits and chipmunks. Just the respite I needed from the city. And well located. Enjoyed one day/dinner in Hudson, then a hike in the Berkshires and a lovely farm to table meal at John Andrews which is just down the road on the way to Great Barrington.

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.

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!

We had a great time at Kathy's lovely house. The location was great, near a bunch of nice small towns but set back on its own private, well-landscaped yard. Inside, the house is impressively decorated in a unique combination of what can only be described as Buddhist monastery meets hunting lodge decor. It was such a pleasure to wake up each morning in the fantastic bed looking out over the beautiful yard. Kathy arranged the key handoff remotely but was always quick to answer any messages, both before and after booking.

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!

Kathy's house was a wonderful treat in the dead of the winter. The house is cozy and beautiful. It is set in an idyllic pastoral area close to skiing, hiking, restaurants, and shopping. The house was always warm and cozy. The house is interesting and well appointed. The fireplace especially makes the house toasty in the cold weather.

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

Kathy's beautiful home took our vacation to the next level. We were actually happy that it rained one of the days of our vacation so we could stay in and enjoy the house and all it's lovely decorations. For those who love waterfalls, the house could not be in a more convenient location. Were minutes away from Bash Bish and about an hour from Kaaterskills. Kathy was quick to respond to our every message and approved our request quickly, just a few days before a long major weekend. 5 starts all around! ️ ️️️️

Fantastic experience, excellent communication. Douglas was a wonderful host and extremely accommodating despite our late arrival. The house is perfectly situation in the greater Berkshires area too. I'll definitely be back.

Douglas was an excellent host. He made my wife and I feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The location is great - a perfect setting for a relaxing getaway in the Berkshires. Great front porch to enjoy the summer air! The bedroom was clean and comfortable and the house was spacious with interesting decor. Douglas made us a great breakfast as well. All in a all a very positive and memorable experience!

Superb! Everything exceeded our expectations. Douglas and Danny have an exquisite home and are truly wonderful hosts. We are already planning to return. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I found Douglas' home to be a lovely place to spend the weekend. Douglas was a very amicable host, and his beautiful home was both charming and relaxing, with many little surprises and special touches. The bed in the room where we stayed was super comfortable, and Douglas really surpassed our expectations by setting out a delicious breakfast each morning. The house is also located right around the corner from a county store, an ice cream parlor, and an excellent farm-to-table restaurant. It is also conveniently located between Great Barrington and Hudson, with each town only a short drive away. We highly recommend this B&B and hope to visit again soon!

Our second stay in this magical place on a quiet road in Hillsdale. A front porch for sitting, beautiful art books for reading, and a successful marriage of Greek revival architecture and mid century modern. This hideaway is convenient to many Berkshires venues-- Shakespeare and company, Tanglewood, excellent restaurants and hikes of all difficulty levels--without the madding traffic of some of the larger towns. We intend to return whenever we get the opportunity.

this was a lovely house in a quaint neighborhood. arrived at almost midnite and douglas was there waiting out front with the porch lights on, just as he said he would. the house was charming, beautifully and artistically furnished, with cold beverages at the ready in the fridge. a delicious continental breakfast was waiting on the table in the morning, as was douglas with great hospitality. i would most definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sweet place to land in the berkshires.

Douglas emailed a few days before and we made final arrangements: Parking where and how was clear,arrangements with the door and arrival times so we had no worries as we arrived. There was a nice message on the bag welcoming us and the bag contained two welcome cookies. Very nice touch.

A truly lovely place. Wonderful location with a helpful, friendly and meticulous host. It was a treat to stay here and more like being invited to a lovely country house. A great weekend.

Great short stay at David's lovely house. Everything was immaculate, he let us know how to check in smoothly and was really welcoming. We would definitely stay again if in the area. Thanks!

David's place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. I hope to stop again sometime!

David is an exceptional host! He was warm and friendly from the moment we arrived & was kind enough to walk us through his laundry machine. AND he let us play with his adorable dog to our hearts' content. The house is absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable - with plenty of character. It's not far from a ton of nearby restaurants, shops, and hiking. We would definitely come back again!

David was very accommodating and responsive. Our stay was seamless, and even with our weird schedule, David did everything in his power to help our trip run smoothly.

We were sorry not to meet David, but we were SO happy to stay at his lovely place - it was immaculate! David was very prompt to respond to all correspondence; we found the key exactly where he said, and had no trouble getting in. We hope to stay here again on our next trip east

David was an excellent host; he was very friendly and replied quickly to my messages so that the arrangement went smoothly. My family said they all had a great night of sleep, and loved how there was enough room for my eight year old brother to play about a bit. There was a letter with instructions on how to feel at home, and the location itself was close to places to eat. We would all be happy to stay there again! :)

David Michael's home is a beautiful, comfortable space. Set among wide country roads and blossoming fields, it's a nice getaway from the city or a cozy place to stop before heading up north. If Tanglewood is on your list, it's only a 35-40 minute drive to Lenox, MA. Definitely stop by Local 111 for a delicious meal in Philmont. The bedroom is very comfortable - plenty of room to stay a while and lovely furnishings - however if you are taller than 5'9, the bathroom might feel very cramped. David Michael has such a warm demeanor, is very communicative, and respected our privacy. A word of warning concerning resident creatures (dead and alive) - if you are sensitive when it comes to taxidermy or vocal pets, this may not be the place for you.

David Michael was a great host- place was very charming, clean, and a great source for local recommendations. Would definitely stay again!

The cabin is a real delight. So relaxing - fresh air comes into the bedrooms and when you wake up you're gazing into the woods. Nicole was a super responsive and accomodating host, any issue we had was remedied immediately, and she even welcomed us into her home nearby to say hello. I would definitely stay again, it's a perfect getaway.

We had an amazing time! What an incredible location! Easy to get in, easy to connect to wifi, easy to find everything we needed, and use the house. Appreciated the break from the city. This place is quite a retreat. Book barn down the hill awesome. Crossroads cafe so yummy. Thanks Nicole!

Nicole's cabin is just (URL HIDDEN) amazing place to get away from it all in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Nicole was incredibly communicative and did a great job as host. We can't wait to go back!!

The cabin is pretty much as advertised...beautiful, rustic, and surrounded by woods. The location in the Hudson Valley and proximity to Tanglewood is fabulous. We took great bike rides almost every day; in addition to enjoying incredible vistas, we "happened upon" waterfalls near Taconic state park and a wonderful sculpture garden at the Omi international art center in Ghent . The beds were really comfortable, and it was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of a waterfall. The kitchen was modestly stocked with pots and pans, so you may want to check with Nicole or bring some additional items with you if you plan to do much cooking. Nicole is an unbeatable host, and she responded immediately to our questions.

What a special place!! Just like the pictures - this is a special little house, in the woods by a picturesque waterfall. The sound of the falls you can hear from the house which is lovely background noise for sleep! Quaint house with everything you'd need and more - including a wood stove (we used every night), well equipped kitchen, 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms with ceiling to floor windows with outdoor deck. Definitely the perfect spot for a couples getaway or small get away with friends. I don't think it's good for little kids due to the spiral staircase and wood stove. But both of these things made for an even more special spot for my husband and I. Oh and we brought our 2 small dogs which was great!! Surrounded by trees and nature but an easy drive to food, groceries, and other adventures. Nicole was a gracious host. Came by to say hello and drop off an electric kettle. And help us link our computer (for Netflix!) to the TV Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! We will definitely be back!

Secluded and beautiful. A peaceful place to stay.

We had a great time in this cozy cabin. Scary drive in the dark nearby, but added to the charm of the rustic area. Easy access to catamount Mountain for skiing, a quick 15 minute drive. The living room futon frame broke underneath us while we were sitting and watching TV. Aside from that the cabin was great, had all amenities needed.

Nicole's cabin in the woods is cozy, scenic, and a perfect weekend escape into nature. It was lovely to hear the waterfall in night. The cabin was clean and had everything needed to cook and get away from civilization for a few days. Nicole was a great host and very helpful with tips and help when we had questions. I would stay here again any weekend!

Karen and David are truly interesting people, well traveled, authors and musicians. Their home has great character and some very cool history. The deck overlooks the forest. Truly relaxing and lovely.

Lovely, quiet home overlooking a ski area! Very comfortable, very gracious hosts. Private entrance but perhaps not good for handicapped entrance. Karen and David were wonderful to chat with and the breakfast was great! Would stay here again!

Room was clean and we enjoyed speaking with Karen over breakfast and coffee which were generously provided. Beautiful views of the Catamount ski area. Great home base for the John Williams concert at Tanglewood!

Wonderful stay with warm and welcoming host! Breakfast a treat!

Lovely couple; beautiful location. A little tricky to navigate directions at the end, but they are helpful and it becomes clear very quickly.

Late in and early out, so not much time spent here. Lovely breakfast with gorgeous views over the mountains. Private, quiet rooms, friendly unobtrusive host. Follow her directions to the house, (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) has it wrong.

This was our 1st Airbnb experience and it could not be better. We were in the Great Barrington area for our future daughter in laws bridal shower and family cookout. The cost was a fraction of the price that it would have been for 4 adults needing 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. We had use of the family room downstairs which was perfect for us. Much nicer then hanging out in a hotel room. The highlight was breakfasts with the host. The food was perfect for us, cereal, fruit, muffins....eggs and bacon were offered both days too. But better then the food was the conversation sitting around their table. We felt like family. Highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Karen and Davis were perfect hosts for my friend and I on our one-night stay in their woodsy, unique Berkshire home. They were great about communication and were there to welcome us with a tour of their home, which was full of musical instruments (they are both musicians and teachers) and memorabilia from Karen's world travels. Over a cup of tea, we discussed literature, the concerto we'd be seeing at Tanglewood that night, and the books Karen and David had written on music and hiking over the years. On our way out the door to dinner-- at a great Lebanese place David recommended-- Karen met us with a plate of delicious savory crackers she'd just baked, and some cheese, as an appetizer because she'd heard my friend mention being hungry. The basement rooms were clean and quiet; I slept like a rock. (Best sleep I've had in weeks!) Breakfast was tasty. I wish I'd had more time to explore the magical living-room space downstairs, chock full of beautiful instruments, or admire the wooded mountain view off the back deck. Can't wait to plan a trip, or trips, back with more friends. Highly recommend this AirBnb!

Raya is an excellent host -- full of warmth and so hospitable. The apartment is so peaceful and calming and a short drive to restaurants and the supermarket. The property is well maintained and very green and lush. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway look no further!

This is a beautiful location. Very close to Stockbridge by car. Charming location, and Raya is a wonderful host. There were bagels and coffee available for our use, the rooms are large and comfortable, and I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area.

This is a great place to escape for a few days, super quiet and right in the green woods. Wonderful environment and Raya is an excellent host.

Raya's apartment is gorgeous and a peaceful and private space. There is everything you may need in the fully-stocked kitchen as well as a diverse collection of books and board games. It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

I would recommend that Raya include photos of the home that she is actually renting out as opposed to her own home. There is a photo of her own home with lovely chairs on a porch, this isn't for guests and it is misleading. When she was asked about various things in the guest home I was referred to a "manual", it seemed to me a rude response rather than answering the question. In addition there were sticky notes various things in the home that guests were told not to use; too many instructions and notes telling guests what they cannot do. It came off as rude and also why would you rent out a home with so many restrictions. I would not recommend this AirBnb to friends.

Great little spot near the lake. restaurant at the country club up the street was good. nice walks along the lake while the foliage was changing was pretty spectacular. I bet it's amazing here in the summer. We brought the fishing rod & my 3 year old caught a bass, she was so excited. we had a great time overall.

I felt very welcome. The amenities were above and beyond. Everything I needed was there and the instructions for the house and the neighborhood were clear. The host was available as needed, but everything was so well planned that I didn't need anything. The best part wast he screened in porch. It has a bed in it and I loved sleeping in the open air.

Early fall time of year was nice. I would consider going again if I was vacationing in the area again

We had a lovely weekend at Cheryl and Hannah's house! It is equidistant from NYC and Boston (a little over 2 hours from each) and so makes for a terrific and relaxing nature getaway. The house was extremely clean and comfortable, with three bedrooms, a spacious living room and well-stocked kitchen, a screened-in porch, and a patio with a lovely view of the lake. There is just one other house in between this house and the lake, and the neighborhood is very quiet. Cheryl and Hannah were great hosts, and we look forward to visiting again!

Our July staying at Cheryl and Hannah's place was wonder. The view was spectacular and the rooms very comfortable. I was with my family which included my 3 yr old grandson. The place was very kid friendly and that made for a relaxing 10 days for all of us. Copake Lake is an ideal location. Tranquil, close to beautiful organic farms (Little Ghent Farm is a must) and wonderful restaurants, our favorite Local 111 in Philmont. The lake is clean and there was an area close to the house for swimming and kayaking. Evening drinks at Copake Country Club was also fun. Everything worked smoothly including communications with Cheryl and Hannah as well as with David the handyman. Definitely would rent again. Maybe this fall.

This is a very comfortable and relaxing vacation spot. The view is beautiful, the cottage is well equipped. And the hosts are excellent. We give it a very high recommendation. Enjoy.

The home was exactly as described. The home is steps away from the lake and the kayaks were a great added bonus. The hosts were very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We will be back!

Cheryl and Hannah are wonderful hosts! They are thoughtful, kind and organized. The house met our expectations, as a low key quiet getaway in a magnificent location. Truly by the lake, it was a pleasure to look at. Unfortunately the rain didn't collaborate so on this stay we did mostly indoor activities. Similarly, only a 20mins drive away from Hudson, it's very convenient to go for dinner, a stroll or the movies! Highly recommended getaway, particularly enhanced by the warm welcome of its hosts.

Michael's place on Copake Lake was exactly what I needed for a scenic getaway from the city. It's situated just a block away from the water and afforded me a beautiful lakefront view from the bedroom. The house is modern and tasteful and has all of the amenities you might want for a weekend (or longer) getaway including a brand new bathroom, well appointed kitchen, and cozy living room with a fireplace. Everything was warm and inviting, even for a rainy weekend. Michael was a charming and accommodating host who left a gorgeous spread out for breakfast and was helpful in making sure I had everything I needed for my short stay. I've visited the area a few times and it is truly stunning during the summer season. I noticed lots of kayak and boat rentals along this side of the lake, so I definitely plan to make another trip out when the weather is nicer and will hopefully stay here again as it's so close to the lake and lakeside activities.

I stayed here for 3 heavenly days with my family and three grandchildren. The place was immaculate, the beds were very comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The setting was idyllic and the proximity to the lake was delightful. We had a wonderful day on the lake kayaking and swimming in the warm water. Michael was a superb host and made the most delicious and creative breakfasts for us each day. This is a true jewel and I would highly recommend it for a very relaxing and terrific vacation.

Michael was extremely friendly and welcoming. He was right there on arrival to show us around, answer questions and make us feel at home. The unit was clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable, charming, well stocked with amenities and has a wonderful lake view. The lake is a short walk away and kayaks are available from this property. It's a place we would enjoy coming back to with friends or family.

I echo the comments of the other posts in saying that Michael is an incredible host. He was very sweet to my kids. We could not have asked for a better stay. It was the best airbnb I have experienced! We wished we could have stayed longer.

Michael was a warm and welcoming host. He has a very clean home and makes you feel like it is your own. There is no tv anywhere and I found it to be a great touch and nice break for me and my family. We were greeted with freshly made cookies which were gone before the day was over. In the morning Michael came over and baked us fresh pastries and cut up delicious fruit. The yard is fenced in and both our dogs loved having the freedom of going in and out as they pleased. The lake was amazing!! My daughter couldn't get enough of it and didn't want to get out. We were able to take the kayaks out and that was fun as well. Our first night we used the fire pit and everyone enjoyed sitting around the fire and relaxing. I could not think of one bad thing to say about this place if I tried. Thank you Michael for making my family and myself feel so much at home.

This place is wonderful and Michael is a perfect host. I would definately recommend staying here.

My friends and I had a dream retreat at Michael's place- he baked us delicious breakfast treats, let us borrow his kayaks, provided wood for the fireplace- he's simply the best! Also hilarious and has the best stories to share! Wonderful location close to the Bash Bish Falls and steps from Copake Lake- would come back in a heartbeat!

The best Airbnb experience ever! The place is clean and neat. It is right by the lake, we had a great time swimming, kayaking and fishing. If I can give more than 5 stars to the host, Michael I would. He is the best host!!. He is very friendly. The host made us the most delicious breakfast!! I would definitely plan a longer stay next time.

Can't say enough good things about Natalie and Balint's farmhouse. The photos do not do this place justice!! It is absolutely gorgeous and the bedrooms on the top floor are flooded with natural light in the best possible way. The master bedroom is comfortable and spacious with a door that opens directly out onto a wonderful porch - the perfect place to drink your morning coffee! Kids didn't come with us this time, but will definitely join for our next visit. This farmhouse is the most kid-friendly Airbnb that I've stayed in. The house is in a perfect location - feels like your out in the middle of nowhere but actually not far from great restaurants, shops and bars. Basically - this Airbnb is a true grem!! Can't wait to come back for another stay.

Natalie's place is perfect for a weekend escape whether you're a couple or with friends and family. The house has been immaculately restored and is ideally situated to be in reach of some of the best spots in the Berkshires and the Hudson Valley. Would love to return again!

Natalie, you have a nice house even very well equipped for European standards, specially your kitchen with everything you need, better than in the most other houses (five) I visit in the US with my daughter and her family (two lovely grandchildren). Only the grandchildren prefers a better maintenance garden, but the beginning of the season could be given this little negative aspect. I wish you a lot of success and thanks a lot, Piet Verdonk

Natalie's place was so difficult to leave because it is absolutely perfect. With the waterfall so close we were able to enjoy a nice hike and the beauty of nature. Compliments to the host for her superb interior design choices. Can't wait to come back!

This farmhouse is truly a dream. Inside, each room looks like it could be featured in a magazine. There is great natural light and tasteful decor, and everything is clean and well maintained. The house has easy access to hiking and the local surrounds. Definitely recommend staying here. We did not want to leave.

A very charming get away, as idyllic as the pictures. Thanks for a lovely visit!

This is a beautifully styled and comfortable home in a wonderfully convenient and appealing area. Great for families and groups wanting to hike/bike/swim at Taconic State Park and the many nearby amenities.

Great weekend trip! Thanks for letting us stay in your Scandinavian inspired beauty!

A delightful weekend at Copake Falls in a beautifully simplistic cottage. Kathrin proved to be an easy host with which to communicate-repeatedly checking in to ensure all things were a go and unfolding smoothly. The recently renovated cottage was perfect for a family getaway. We hiked the local grounds, swam the state park nearby, zip lined at Catamount and wrapped up a solid weekend of activity roasting s'mores around a campfire. 'Twas a great weekend of rest and relaxation. The local hills and farmlands provided a scenic backdrop for early morning runs. In a nutshell...doesn't get much better! Hoping to return in future seasons to experience both the beauty of the cottage and surrounding areas.

Wonderful cottage, up to date, high standart. We more than recommend it. Kathrin is fast replying.... Had a great time!

My parents, husband and I spent a wonderful long weekend at the cottage in Copake Falls! We were greeted by the host with a bottle of Prosecco, which made for such a nice welcome! Our communication beforehand was already very friendly, especially when we found out that we have exactly the same name and live in the same town! The cottage was exactly as described (and very clean!) and the hosts Kathrin and Robert were very attentive to all our needs and questions. We found out that Robert did all the renovations of the cottage by himself and one can definitely feel the love he put into it! The atmosphere was very relaxed and we all felt like at home and just wished we could have stayed longer!

Another wonderful stay! Beautiful home. Great hosts. Can't wait to come back!

What a beautiful cottage! Newly remodeled, clean, well equipped kitchen and very nice bathroom. Wonderful hiking and biking right out the door. Fresh greens right from the garden and lots of "local" food near by. Many wonderful memories and would recommend this B&B without hesitation!

This was far and away the coolest, cleanest and most welcoming bnb we have stayed at. It was a weekend get away with the parents and kiddo and Kathrin was more than accommodating. Even offered a pack-n-play so we didnt need to travel with ours! (Thanks!) They did a fantastic job updating the space too. Very plush.

My family had a lovely winter weekend at Kathrin's ski cottage. It is beautifully renovated and being there for one of the coldest weeks of the year, we were pleasantly surprised with a very good heating system and even a heated bathroom floor! Kathryn was very accommodating and responded to all of my inquiries within minutes. We hope to go back again someday!

Kathrin was very welcoming! Her husband even brought over a bottle of sparkling wine because it was New years Eve. Very nice people. Great house. Immaculately clean! Lovely space, nice and warm in the winter. No TV which I loved! Lovely outdoor space and great neighborhood. Would definitely stay again.

Great open kitchen, lots of windows, nice grounds, 4-5 miles from the supermarket, playground very close, volleyball net. Edible berries behind the house, very quiet. Nice home, we recommend Kehr, great communication and we're able to check in early! Sean & family

Kehr's house was wonderful - great location, quiet neighborhood but close enough to Great Barrington that we could go there very easily. The house itself was comfortable, clean, and very well equipped, especially the kitchen, which has all modern appliances (and everything works well!) Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and roomy, and two couples can stay here with enough privacy for both. I'd love to stay there again, next time I'm visiting the Berkshires.

The toilet on the first floor was working when we left after five visits from plumbers, but be extra careful about the amount of paper you use and flush often. You still may have problems as we did no matter how careful you are. There is an air mattress in the second bedroom where there are supposed to be twin beds. The cold water is turned off for the washing machine and cannot be used. The dishwasher is falling out of the cabinet

The house is in a great location. You have lovely lake views without all the traffic noise. It was quiet and peaceful. There were some fireworks - to be expected over the Fourth of July holiday - we enjoyed viewing them off deck. The house has everything you need. The furniture and mattresses very comfy. Lots of room to spread out all our stuff which we like - not a lot of clutter. We hope to come back next year.

We had a wonderful winter stay at the cottage. We had trepidations about the snow, but it was promptly plowed, the heat was cozy, and we had what we needed. This stay corresponded with the New Year's Eve wedding of our daughter at The Greens at Copake Lake Country Club, and the staff there did a beautiful job!

Dealings with Michael and his hostess, Kelly, were wonderful. Cottage was comfortable and clean. Beautiful lake, just a bit farther from water than we anticipated. Nice swim area, and private dock with kayak use. Very nice deck for eating and relaxing.

We stayed at the home for 23 days and it was a great stay. The description of the property was exactly as noted in AirBNB. Great for families and an incredible view of the lake. The home was also well maintained. We stayed for a long period of time, so we noticed things that wouldn’t crop up with a short stay. We had a few things occur and Michael was very responsive. The one thing that we noticed was the thermostat on the oven did not work so we had to use the broiler periodically. However, it was not a big deal since we had the stovetop and the gas grill so it was an easy workaround. We loved the community and the proximity to the water so it definitely met our expectations.

We stayed at Michael's house with our 3 year old and 8 month old for a week in June. His house was absolutely perfect for our little family as the house was steps away from the lake and was fully equipped. It was especially helpful to have a washer and dryer, AC in every room, a fully stocked kitchen, gas grill and a beautiful porch with lake views. The beds were also very comfortable. The house is also a quick drive to Hudson, Great Barrington, and Chatham for day trips or to go to bars and restaurants. We also had dinner at the local golf course called the Greens a few nights which was also very lovely. Overall, I would highly recommend renting this house and hope we can come back again next year!

We loved staying at Michael's place. The weather was perfect for our stay and we enjoyed having the doors to the deck open for the breeze coming in off the lake. 100% would stay there again.

Deb is really nice and one of the best air bnb host I've ever had. I would love to stay again. Her house was very relaxing and I loved the 2nd bathroom.

The location near the lake is perfect. The house is cute, exactly what we expected. It was fine hosting all nine of us. Loved to have the fireplace in the garden.

The lakehouse was an overall great experience. It is a small community however we rarely saw the neighbors. Bash Bish falls was a short drive and a short hike away. Deb was available when needed and very helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped.

Everything in home is as described. I have stayed here several times and will come back anytime I am in the area, Thank you!!

Deb was so helpful -- even when we ended up calling her several times for one question or another, she never made us feel we were imposing -- quite the opposite! She was gracious and eager to help, and always had a quick answer to any of our inquiries. She helped us to feel at home! The home was comfortable and very clean, and the area was terrific! We enjoyed the wrap-around porch, had lots of fun at the pond and in the nearby area, and were lucky to have beautiful weather. We would definitely like to return!

My wife and I stayed at Deb's place for over a month with our 3 year old and 11 month old for business/vacation. Her place was exactly as advertised, but we were delightfully surprised with the beauty of Copake and her quaint, serene, cozy little neighborhood. My wife often walked our kids to the quiet, neighborhood beach, (8 min walk) which they all loved. We became friends with several neighbors, explored local spots and beaches on the weekends, and I easily commuted to my work in Hudson on a daily basis. Deb communicated excellently, let us use her beach gear, and her amenities allowed us to have a very comfortable stay with 2 very busy little girls. We highly recommend Deb's home and we would LOVE to come back again next summer. We created amazing family memories which we'll treasure for a life time. Thanks Deb!

Deb was a great host! Made sure we had what we needed upon arrival and checked in with us before we arrived. House was exactly as expected, comfy beds, soft sheets, shower pressure good. Super casual, easy breezy!! Enjoyed making a fire in back yard (with firewood from the house) and hanging out.

The Lakehouse was perfect for our group! Plenty of space to hang out in and around the house (front porch, back deck, chiminea, etc). It was very clean and had the necessary amenities. As other reviews and the description notes, it is not on the lake proper, but very close. The house is in a rather densely populated lake community, which were weren't entirely expecting, but wasn't a problem at all. Deb was great about being reachable during our stay.

Lovely cabin in the woods. Comfortable beds. Very relaxing to sit by the lake and gaze at the water.

The bed was great towels too. Well equipped kitchen. Central location. Charming cottage.

My wife, dog, and I spent 12 wonderful days at John’s house in July-August. A few nights, our two adult daughters and their two friends also joined us. John was very responsive to our questions and needs both before we rented and throughout our stay, checking in occasionally to make sure we had everything we needed during our visit. The house is adorable, cozy, and on a single level. There is a small loft area, but it is closed off for use. The house is very comfortable for two to four people and also worked well for the few nights/days there were six of us. The third bed is a pullout sofa with inflatable mattress, which our kids found more comfortable when placed on the floor. The yard is not really set up for bare feet or play by small children or pets (although our dog enjoyed roaming the woods and occasionally chasing deer), but the patio is nice for relaxing and outdoor dining (we lit citronella candles at night, which warded off any bugs). The lake and dock are not visible from the house, but are a short walk down a hill through the woods. The lake is wonderful for swimming and we enjoyed boating with a friend (pontoon boats can also be rented for half or full days at the marina across the lake). The dock gets morning sun until about 12:15PM, but you can catch the sun longer if you get a short distance out on the lake with an inflatable float (we brought several), kayak, canoe, etc. The house is nicely located a short drive from Copake Country Club (for golf or a nice lunch/dinner at The Greens), Hillsdale (closest grocery store, a few cute shops, great Saturday Farmer’s Market, and awesome Village Scoop ice cream shop), Hudson (Amtrak station, antique shops, and restaurants), and Great Barrington. We enjoyed the easy hike up to Bish Bash Falls on a cool, somewhat rainy day, visited Lake Taghkanic State Park (great beaches/swim areas), and also took in a concert one night at the beautiful Saratoga Performing Arts Center about 90 minutes away. It was a fantastic trip!

Julia made us feel very welcome and it was easy communication. she is very responsive to emails and texts. Everything was as described in the listing.

Gorgeous cabin, short drive away from Hudson and Great Barrington. Airy kitchen and living room make a fantastic space to congregate.

Book this house! You won't regret it. We had a girls' weekend in January and we fell so in love with the home upon arrival on Friday that we didn't leave the house until Sunday's departure. Julia's home is fully equipped with everything you might need for a cozy getaway, and all the details and cabin decor in the home are perfect. She was easy to get in touch with and gave us all the necessary instructions and information before our arrival, so that we didn't even need to get in touch with her during our stay. The pictures don't do it justice! We hope to be back in other seasons, and again next winter!

I had a perfect stay at Julia's place with a group of girlfriends. The cabin is stunning - even better than the photos. Julia was very responsive and we had a seamless check-in/out. We spent most of our time cooking up meals in the very well-stocked kitchen, sitting by the fireplace, and reading in one of the many cozy nooks. It's also nearby some great hiking trails and the town of Hudson if you're looking to explore. Highly recommend booking this place!

My group of three people had an excellent time at Julia's luxury cabin. The cabin was clean, beautiful and homey. It was exactly as Julia described. The neighborhood is quiet, and the cabin is near several interesting towns and other things to see (if that is what you want). Before we arrived, Julia gave us some tips on things to do, and all her tips were great. A few times while we were there we had questions for Julia, and she was always very responsive. We had a relaxing week, and we hope to stay at Julia's cabin again in the fall.

If you're looking for a comfortable, unique, beautifully designed and decorated "cabin" getaway by the water in the woods, look no further! Julia's place ranks among the most uniquely designed and incredible places anyone in my group of six had ever seen upstate. Highly recommend without reservation--close to wineries and plenty of beautiful hikes!

The house is absolutely beautiful with so many different areas for all ages to play and lounge. Julia was a great host and extremely responsive!

Julia's house was a perfect place for a weekend away! It's a great distance from NYC (far enough that it feels like a vacation, close enough to do for a weekend), and her home is absolutely beautiful. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out, great open plan kitchen and living room area, and right on an adorable pond. We would absolutely stay here again! Julia also had great recommendations for nearby places to eat/things to do.

It is a nice place to visit and relax at.

A beautifully placed lake house with a small pedal boat to get you into the lake to fish. We caught a couple of fish but released it. There's a quaint beach nearby to bring the kids or just to catch up on some fun in the sun. This place is a hidden gem. Be sure to come check it out.

We enjoyed our weekend in Michael's house. We had never been to Copake - it was quiet and neighbors were very friendly. Plenty of stats and the paddle boat was fun! Michael also had plenty logs for the fire pit - which we enjoyed burning while drinking wine/beer. Definitely a great deal!
