Beautiful home and location. Loved that everything was available for us to use. Only complaint is that the Times Square puzzle was missing 12 pieces which made completing it very frustrating.
Wonderful house. Wonderful communication with host. The house is pretty isolated. Itâs a bit of a drive to other things to do. I didnât have a good sense of the geography so I didnât realize how far everything is. Totally on me. The house is perfect.
We stayed here a couple of years ago and were excited to return. Not too far from north Hampton and enjoyed some nice hikes and time with family. Perfect spot for relaxing.
The house is beautiful and contains everything you need for a fun weekend with family (including young kids) and/or friends. Laura was always quick to respond to messages and was wonderful to work with overall. Great stay!
Family Gathering for a Matriarchâs Laying to Rest
The property is incredible in its unique location and dwellingâs construction. The timber frame build is one that I for one had never witnessed in person. The space offered within its walls was perfect for our family of five. The serenity and peace offered by the surroundings was wonderful and just right for each of us. We gathered there to lay to rest my Motherâs remains to rest and we all had the quiet to reflect and grieve individually. Laura is a wonderful hostess and provided great communication from the reservation throughout our stay. The structure is fabulous and while projects remain in progress, it serves my family and me perfectly well for the seven nights we were privileged to spend there.
We spent the weekend between hectic college visits and it was the rest we needed. I felt my blood pressure fall as soon as we walked I. The house. It has just snowed and it was so quiet and beautiful. I heard an owl in the evening. WiFi was excellent. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were super comfy. The beams of the house were so cool to look at. Laura responded quickly to our few messages. Would definitely stay again!
We've rented a lot of houses over the years; this is exactly what you look for in a rental house. Everything was at least as described verbally and visually (but in most cases, better). The house was very clean; comfortable and cozy, beds very comfortable; kitchen well-appointed with everything we needed. Excellent communication & attention to the kinds of details that make a difference. Thank you very much, Laura; our family had a fantastic time!
I really loved the property and the location. Beautiful, comfortable and peaceful. The home is clean and spacious. Lots of character and natural light throughout. Hope to visit again!
Very nice rural retreat. Perfect for those looking for a get away from it all location. Stunning A frame with awesome view of forested surroundings. Super quietđ. Clean & cozy.
We drove up just after New Year looking for the quiet winter holiday that can be hard to get with family, and this rental provided exactly what we were looking for! The building is a treasure and fun just to hang out in. Our group of old college friends took turns cooking meals and playing card and board games, plus walks down to the beaver dam and back. The toddler had a blast sledding down the little slope in the back yard. We hope to come back soon!
This is the third time we have stayed here and it didnât disappoint. This is the most well supplied and equipped house that we have rented. Laura is an absolute sweetheart. We will for sure be back!
Such a cute house, the owner was lovely and easy to communicate with, check in and out was effortless, and property was beautiful. Loved every minute of our stay and was ideal for a family with dogs!
My wife, I and our dog have stayed here for several years in a row. We love the location, privacy and the house. Everything you need is provided for you and close to all locations.
We loved our stay in Peru. It was a bit far away from our wedding without local ride shares but we still had a great time. Beautiful home and setting. Itâs very peaceful and quiet.
Beautiful setting with a gorgeous house that was perfect for our family! We enjoyed exploring the local mountains and visiting our daughter at Smith College. The house was located in such a beautiful and serene setting. We canât wait to stay here again!
Friend had a wedding nearby and we stayed the weekend here. Lovely property, stilysh, clean, warm and very comfortable. Absolutely would return. Would love to have explored the state forest nearby but didnt have the time. Laura was a great host and home had nice body wash, shampoo, coffee and nice dishes, washer and dryer. Bring your own groceries as there isnt much in the area although we didnt look that hard as had meals at the wedding venue.
Our family absolutely loved our stay! We all commented that we would love to one day live in a place like this! :-) Gorgeous home (clean & welcoming) and gorgeous wooded area (loved sitting by the babbling brook)!!! Overall wonderful, relaxing experience. Would come back in a heart beat!
My husband and I built this house ten years ago. Much of the finishing materials and many of the fixtures were recycled from many NYC condo renovations since we are in the construction business. The house is a work in progress- this year we plan to work the grounds with blueberry bushes and more trails through the forest along the creek.
The best part about this location is the quiet peaceful location. It is near the country towns ('hilltowns') where there are many small farms and artisans. And it is in the Berkshires with all the cultural activities they have to offer. We find it is an oasis for our family compared to the city life we lead. Now that our daughters are grown, I find it was helpful for them to have known a different style of life our life Brooklyn.
My first idea about building this house was it would be similar to camping in comfort. The timber frame of the house was designed and built by a Swiss Company in British Columbia, Canada. The timbers are from douglas fir trees. At the time it was one of 3 built with the same design. The same company also built many Chalets in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
