Not just 5 star house, 100-1,000 stars
We had a family gathering over four days of Thanksgiving, kids to grandparents. Quiet location in the woods, but just minutes to get into Great Barrington for shopping, exploring, hiking. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking and serving a full turkey dinner for the crowd, except for a roasting pan big enough for a 24-pound turkey (family member who hadn't left their house brought one). We had two issues with appliances that we reported but it was the day we were leaving so we weren't around when they were repaired. House was immaculately clean, with several different seating areas for choices to watch football or read/knit/talk; beds all very comfy with duvets. The 100-1,000 stars were awarded by the two youngest grandchildren. Not only did they both get top bunks in their bedroom, they loved all the games in the game room and the outside soccer nets. Any questions we had before we arrived were answered promptly by the host. Definitely recommended.

Great house
This is a very lovely property, perfect for a long weekend with family. The bedrooms are spread out so that everyone had comfort and privacy. The house has all the expected amenities, lots of fun extras (the basketball game machine!), and has clearly been designed with guests in mind (love the labeling of light switches). Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our stay.

Spacious and well-appointed
House is beautiful and very comfortable. Each bedroom and bath was welcoming and cheerful. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, dishes, and spices!! Big fenced well-tended yard with lots of seating choices. BBQ grill made cooking easy. Air-conditioners worked well and Wi-Fi strong to make it a very nice comfortable and productive stay (if you have to do some work). Great house that is 10min drive to Great Barrington Town Center making foods pharmacy, and other shopping very easy. Shay was always responsive making any issues easy to solve. Thanks Shay for a great stay.
