The Taggart House was a wonderful place to gather with friends and family to celebrate my birthday. The house is beautiful; the rooms are large; kitchen is great; bugs kept us from hanging out in the backyard but the conservatory was light and bright and a perfect spot for cocktails. We loved the proximity to the town of Stockbridge and we would walk back and forth a couple times a day. We had a couple of small issues, and Caitlin was very responsive in answering my questions/concerns. All in all, a really great getaway.
The house was absolutely fabulous - even better than the online pictures. We were there for a âsibling/spouseâ reunion. There were so many spaces to hang out - huge dining room, porch, living room & bonus was the fire pit. The hosts, Caitlin & George, were delightful and very responsive. The house is beautifully furnished and it is centrally located to several cute artsy towns and nearby attractions. If youâre looking for someplace special, this is the place!!!
our group of 10 returned to this beautiful property for the second time. Everything was wonderful, but most especially , the location and the quick responsiveness from the owners. We highly recommend this property.
We had an amazing time. We had several out of town guests who stayed at the home and then a birthday party with local guests in the ballroom. The ballroom is absolutely stunning. The chef enjoyed the kitchen. There was plenty of parking and a beautiful setting. I would stay again.
This was our fourth stay at this magnificent property and we continue to be amazed by its beauty and grandeur. Our host have provided us with everything to make our experience perfect. The house is well equipped and well-maintained. I would highly recommend this rental for a first-class experience. Thank you to George and Caitlin for their hospitality and kindness..
Beautiful property with all the amenities. Our group of 12 relaxed on the sun porch, played bocce and cornhole in the huge backyard, and enjoyed the town of Stockbridge. The owners suggestion of dinner at Alta was much appreciated as we had a fabulous dinner there.
Our group of 10 friends really enjoyed this beautiful historic property. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and yet wonderful, large areas where we could all gather together. We especially appreciated the location, so close to the center of Stockbridge, which afforded us the opportunity to take many walks around the area.
My new wife and I decided to use this property to have our immediate families stay for our wedding, and it worked out very well! The hosts were responsive and easy to work with, and the home itself was everything we needed.
The Taggart House exceeds expectations. It is shipshape, fully equipped with responsive and friendly hosts/owners. Its historic but also great fun for a group with lots of spaces for meals, meal prep, socializing, TV watching, outdoor dining, fire pit etc. Its a memory maker for all who stay here.
A group of our college friends and their spouses who were in Stockbridge to celebrate my daughterâs wedding including her godparents. Such a treat to stay in the beautiful Taggart House. Location is perfection! Everyone loved their beautiful rooms. We had a lovely dinner at the big dining room table the first night- couldnât have been better or more fun!
We are seventy-something year old women who annually rent a special place for our 'retreat." Taggart House is so far the loveliest place that we have rented. It's clean, easy parking, sidewalks, restaurants, local attractions, good beds, let me again mention "clean" which is really important to us. En suite bathrooms for all. Just fabulous.
We were four couples (all in our 50s) and we had a GREAT time at this beautiful home. The hosts, Caitlyn and George, were accommodating, responsive and helpful (including when the battery for the front door died and when we had problems with one of the upstairs thermostats). The house was clean, all the bedrooms upstairs had en suite bathrooms, the kitchen was well appointed, the great room with the tv was comfortable, the dining room was huge, the back porch was lovely and overlooked the beautiful grounds, and the shower water pressure throughout all the bathrooms was exceptional (words I've never uttered regarding a rental home or hotel). We had a wonderful stay overall !!!
I stayed with my entire extended family (12 guests) in July 2023. The house is spacious, cozy, and beautiful. The hosts were quick to respond, accommodating, and incredibly kind before and during our stay. Our time at the Berkshires was made possible by this home. Each room was luxurious and comfortable. Could not recommend more!
The communications with hosts leading up to and during stay was excellent. While we were there, they were very helpful with suggestions and shared with us the history of the property.
The house was perfect for our family celebration and all bedrooms were comfortable and inviting. The outside property was well suited to outdoor activities. The location could not have been better.
A couple of suggestions for improvement: the lighting in the sunroom and the media room was insufficient. Some amenities could be added such as soap for the showers and tubs, and additional toilet paper.
Our overall experience was very positive. We would stay there again and would recommend it to others.
We rented this property as a location for the extended family to base themselves over our daughter's wedding weekend as well as a location for the wedding party to get ready for the event. The house is fabulous -- lots of space, fabulous in many ways. It should have been a fantastic stay as the bones were all there, but there were some problems. The linens in the house -- both towels and bed linens were not clean (or were stained) and not sufficient. One bath towel per person was not enough and there were no spares. There was one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, no tissues, no garbage bags, no dish soap -- generally the house was appointed with only the bare minimum -- insufficient given the way we were using the house and the price point. We ended up using dry cleaning bags to clean up the house before departing. The internet went out while we were trying to get ready for the wedding. We knew it was a circuit breaker issue. We didn't hear back from the owner until after we had all left for the wedding -- she left a message telling us to reset the modem which was not the issue. That night the smoke detectors started beeping. It was a sleepless night for a very tired family. Again, there was a delay in hearing back from the owner -- she reached me once we were checked out and on our way home. Caitlin seems lovely and I am not happy leaving this review, but faster contact and adequate and timely addressing of our concerns would have made this a much more enjoyable stay.
We all enjoyed our stay and our favorite room was the
sun porch!
George was extremely cordial and helpful. Caitlin was
busy with her children so we did not get to meet her but she was very responsive answering our questions before
our stay.
Nice experience all around.
The Taggart House was our home away from home for my sister-in-law's wedding. We shared the house with our extended family who traveled up from FL. The pictures on the website intrigued us and the house blew us away. It was beautifully appointed and luxurious, while at the same time warm and welcoming. Everything we could possibly need was at hand...but the owner was a little stingy with towels so be prepared to do some laundry. Overall amazing location for big groups, especially kids who will love the backyard lawn and treehouse.
Three generations stayed for 4 days over Christmas and this was a perfect house for relaxing, cooking, and catching up. Pros: The kitchen has any utensil you might need to cook, and every bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. The home is large enough for everyone to find some privacy, and the great room and dining room are large enough to easily accommodate all 15 of us. The heat was perfect. It was wonderful having 2 gas and 1 wood fireplace. The home is well-cared for and comfortable.
Things to keep in mind (not cons, just helpful hints): We have a 90-year-old father and this is an old home, so he needed to be aware of thresholds, tub/showers etc. It all worked out great, just fyi. 2) bring soap/bathroom amenities (not a surprise, just a reminder). Highly recommend as a very special place to stay and enjoy family/friends time together.
Property was beautiful and walkable to town. House is old but very nice. Large enough to accommodate 9 women! Loved sitting outside enjoying perfect weather! All in all had a wonderful experience!
Having looked at over 80 properties for purchase in the Bershires, the Taggart House is truly unique. This property is perfectly situated within 15 minutes of all the amenities and attractions in the southern Berkshires. This fully restored Victorian estate is a 5 minute walk to the center of Stockbridge, yet quietly situated on 3 manicured acres along the Housatonic River.
The Taggart House is the perfect home for entertaining. With six large en-suite bedrooms, a large formal dining room, a billiards room, an eat-in kitchen, a cozy reading room, a huge family room, and an optional grand ballroom for events, the Taggart House is both hospitable and opulent.
