We stayed at this property for almost a week and found it to be clean, quiet and very close to my stepdaughter's home in Ashley Falls. Easy drives to all the necessities, good pizza and gas stations. I enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch for breakfast and a late night beverage--we even saw a deer!
My husband and my two grown children were attending a wedding in Sheffield and I booked this cottage because of its proximity to the venue. It was charming, clean, and very well-equipped. I would love to return for a longer stay!
A true gem in the middle of a the Berkshires. Absolutely loved our stay. The property was extremely clean, cozy and warming. Weâll definitely be back!!
Thank you!!
We spent a week in this wonderful house. It is spotless -- from floor to ceiling. So comfortable from porch furniture to livingroom, diningroom and beds. Excellent kitchen (really well stocked) for cooking. Great linens and towels. Great a/c. Beautiful lawn -- we were really happy. The host was very attentive. Great linens. Great layout for 2 friends or 2 couples. Or couple and a friend.
We reserved our stay at this house when we learned that our friendsâ sonâs wedding would be held in Sheffield. It was exactly as advertised. We wanted to invite another couple to join us, so we were looking for a place that would give each couple privacy but with enough common space to enjoy our time together. The screened-in porch off the kitchen was a major selling point. This house is well designed, well equipped, comfortably furnished, and thoughtfully arranged to anticipate every need. The property itself is on a country road, but itâs close enough to amenities like food shopping, to attractions in Great Barrington and Stockbridge, and there are even two attractions of interest right in Sheffield â Bartholomewâs Cobble (a nature preserve) and the historical display at the Ashley House. The check-in and check-out procedures are problem-free and well explained.
Such a great little house and the hosts and management were superb with everything, thank you for an amazing stay and can't wait to get back there one day.
Lovely girls trip for 6. The house was tidy and clean with plenty of room to mingle & sleep. We loved utilizing the screened in porch, especially to enjoy the fall crisp air without the bugs! Will definitely return again if Iâm every back in the Sheffield/ Great Barrington area!
We were attending my nephewâs wedding in nearby Lakeville, CT. The house was in a beautiful location. We felt fortunate to spend the weekend in such a nice place.
My family greatly enjoyed staying at the house for a long weekend. My family and I had not seen each other for 1.5 years due to COVID so we had time to relax in this corner of the state.
The house was easy to get to and access was off the screened in porch and helped keep the mosquitoes out. The house was very clean, spacious and stylish as photographed but you cannot photograph the amazing comfort of the beds. They made us love this place!
The screened in porch was great for dinners outside. The neighbors were also nice when we walked the dog. We would recommend this place to anyone.
A lovely and comfortable place that supplies all the essentials for a
Home Away from Home. Perfect for checking out all the historical towns, and hiking in the beautiful Berkshires.
My Husband and I had a wonderful month at the House in the Woods. This is a lovely home in a truly wonderful area. The house is down the road from great hiking and surrounded by hillsides with glorious views for biking. There are so many sweet and special spots to explore nearby it would take paragraphs to list them. It is perfectly situated for exploring everything the area has to offer. Shana is an excellent Host and we were so happy to be back at the house for a second visit. Thank you Shana. Our Best, Kathy and Alex
Great base for winter activities in the Berkshires
The house was clean and comfortable for our family of five and had everything we needed. We appreciated the small touches like the welcome gifts and the nice towels and linens. Instructions were very clear and Shana was easily accessible when needed. It was a great base for a week of skiing in the Berkshires. Thanks for being a wonderful host!
While the house is small, it's immaculate, very well supplied, and comfortable. Very cleverly designed. The property manager could not have been better - totally and quickly responsive to a couple of minor questions.
Most important - the neighborhood. Beautiful in every direction. Great old houses among the usual ones. Spectacular vistas in every direction. Long walks are mandatory! We're seriously looking to move here - that's how great the area is. We were here for two months and are ready to come back. SOON.
Property was clean and well appointed. Water has sulfur in it; house is impeccably clean. Great location for local sights and nearby towns. Shana was very responsive and a thoughtful host. Hope to come back some time!
The property was basically "as shown" on line. Of course it was impossible to see the filth on the window sills, the disgusting patio furniture, the black toilets, sinks athe and showers due to the harsh water. The water was dark brown. We had to buy water bottles to brush out teeth. Washer ruined clothes and towels. Very often we had no hot water and forced to take cold showers on four occasions-only to mention a few things... The flatware drawer in the kitchen was filthy! The property just did not live up to our expectations so we left three weeks earlier than planned. We left September 10 instead of Oct 1!!! This would not be a fair review if I didn't mention the property manager who did try to accommodate us to the best of her ability!
Everything was as advertised! Comfy, cozy. Shana was absolutely easy to work with and went above and beyond to make our stay as hassle free as possible.
In the âfor whatever itâs worth departmentâ I found the shower in the main bath to be small. Iâm 5â2â average weight. There was plenty of HOT water, luxurious towels and sheets, ample cookware, plates, glasses, etc. and appliances in good working order. The stove is gas and I havenât cooked with gas for 40 years! I was sorry the weather was so cold. The screened-in porch looked like the perfect spot to relax.

Lilla and Andrew live in Sonoma, California, but have a love for the Berkshires having resided here years ago. They own a bookstore in Sonoma and when house shopping this past fall they came upon this property. It reminded them fondly of the sweet home featured in The Little House, a children's book written by Virginia Lee Burton. They were smitten and the rest is history! They are so very happy to share their lovely home with guests to enjoy.
