The amount of sleeping arrangements is misleading.cannot open fridge door in the kitchenWe had to shovel the walkway upon arrival - was hazardous when arriving in the evening
The property is gorgeous although finding it can be a bit challenging. Once you realize the driving along the railroad tracks means exactly that, you see the house and know it’s worth it. Walking to town is easy and the property is well appointed and very comfortable.
Perfect place to meet up with family coming from Albany Boston and New York. Spacious area and immaculately kept. Great layout to spend time and short walk to town. Big plus farmer’s market was open. Travel up the road alongside the tracks was precarious but manageable. Would love to come back.agaiin.
We spent 3 nights with old friends to ski, eat and catch up early March. We had a great time. The location is ideal, the home is beautiful and the weather cooperated. Highly recommend this property.
House was very beautiful and clean. Plenty of room for a large family . Quiet and private street although its right next to train tracks honestly only heard the train once . AMAZING views of the deck and relaxing . Would definitely like to rent this home again. Thank you for the pleasant experience 😊 ☺️
The house is a convenient 5 minute walk to downtown Great Barrington for dinning, shopping, playground, etc. We were in GB for a family reunion, so meeting family at GB Eats for breakfast was perfect. The house was as advertised, clean and well equipped. The road access needs to be regraded for some, but we were in SUV's, so no issue for us.
Had an amazing get away weekend in Great Barrington. The house was in a great location walking distance from downtown but still felt far enough away in a country setting. The house was perfect and plenty of space. The only issue was some the the plumbing needs to work better. Would recommend and would come back again.

Thank you for the feedback! Looking forward to hosting you again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The pros are you can easily walk to the great downtown. It’s a big hill but a very close walk. And you can walk to the lake which is great for kids.
The property was very clean and works well if you need 3 bedrooms. It’s not a huge lawn but big enough for kids to play.
Only cons are the kitchen equipment is hit or miss and the grill is not in amazing shape, which makes cooking a little tricky.
We loved this home. We'd originally planned to stay here with extended family, but thanks to COVID-19, it was just three of us--my wife, our toddler, and myself. It would have been large enough for all of us, but was also intimate-feeling enough that we enjoyed it as a threesome. Our host was a great communicator and very helpful. We particularly loved that we could walk down to get coffee in town very easily. We'd definitely book this home again!

Beautiful Log Cabin Home
This is a great log home to rent. It sleeps a lot of people and the common spaces are large and accommodating. It's a quick walk to downtown Great Barrington. This was a great place for our dog, who had to sniff everything. Spectacular views from the mostly glass side of the living room. We did have a bit of a checkout issue which I won't detail, as I'm pretty certain it was the managing agent's and not the owners fault. Highly recommend.
Overall our experience was fantastic. This is a beautiful home with a large outdoor space and proximity to local hiking as well as the downtown area. The house was extremely clean, the outside was well-maintained, and there are some nice views. The owners were very responsive. We happened to visit during a heat wave and the owners helped us ensure the house would be cool enough for our young son to sleep. We go to Great Barrington every year and would highly recommend this property.

Glad you had a lovely trip, be in touch for next time!
We stayed in this VRBO on a recent trip to visit family. The house and property are very well maintained with just a couple of easy tweaks. Dish Towels! LOL! The view is beautiful. And walking distance to town and our favorite restaurant, Praiprie Whale! We will visit again. Thanks Lucas!
This house was the perfect home base for a girls getaway to the Miraval Spa. Five of us slept very comfortably in the house, with space for more if you have larger groups. The Miraval Spa was 20-25 minutes away and the house was a great, more economical alternative to staying overnight at the spa, given the size of our group. The house manager was very communicative and checked in several times during our stay. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The house was also a short walk right to the heart of Main Street in Great Barrington. Great experience and would be very happy to rent again.
The house was great! It is set back and high up, so that it overlooks the beautiful and quaint shops and restaurants of Great Barrington. The house has giant windows, high ceilings, a gas fireplace, and comfortable beds! It was a perfect place to relax, read, unwind and spend time together! You can walk down the hill/driveway and you are right in the heart of downtown which is lovely! Beautiful shops and fantastic coffee shops/restaurants. I am thankful that the weather was unseasonably warm because I would not have wanted to navigate the hilly driveway in winter weather. The road up to the house wasn’t great (dirt road and a few “holes”) but once up the hill, it was totally worth it!!
We had a wonderful stay at this house! It was clean, as pictured, fully equipped and very comfortable for our 8 guests. You can walk to Main Street in minutes and Butternut Mountain is a 5 minute ride away. It is really well-located. If I were to say one small downside, it would be the awkward road and driveway up to the house. It is a bit confusing at first and if it is snowing, you would definitely need a 4 W drive car (which is stated in the reservation). Other than that, it was really great!

About the host
Hosted by Lucas
I have been vacationing in the Berkshires my whole life and I've finally been able to find the perfect property.
Why they chose this property
This property has everything you need, it gets tons of sunlight, very spacious and airy, with views of the mountains and tree-tops. It feels very private and isolated but is steps to the town center making a vacation feel like a retreat while exciting to walk everywhere and not need your car. You can also walk to hiking trails, a lake, cultural sites, and much more!
What makes this property unique
Feels remote but is close to town.
