More than exceptional!

This was our second time staying at Amy and Gary’s beautiful apartment and we can’t wait to come back. The place is super clean, cozy and comfortable, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Amy and Gary are wonderful hosts, giving you the privacy you need, but are also very communicative and available to help with anything you need. The location is easy to get to and centrally located to all of the popular spots in the Berkshire’s. Thank you Amy and Gary…we had a fantastic weekend!

Southern Berkshires

We were on vacation exploring the Southern Berkshires region (Lee, Lenox, Stockbridge, Great Barrington etc.). The property is conveniently located near everything and is impeccably maintained. This was by far the cleanest most comfortable place we have rented - and we rent quite a bit. Our hats off to Amy and Gary for operating an A+ rental.

Repeat stay

The apartment is as clean, cozy and well supplied as it was for our stay two years ago. We enjoyed both relaxing at "home" and exploring the Berkshires.

Berkshire Getaway

We came out for a long autumn weekend with our toddler out in the Berkshires. Our stay at Amy and Gary’s place was delightful and peaceful. Their cottage is well-stocked with the basics you would need. The surroundings were so beautiful and we were close to all the places we wanted to visit (I.e. Great Barrington, Stockbridge). Woke highly recommend their place :)

Perfect long weekend getaway from New York

Very clean and spacious. Beautiful view of the grounds and rolling hills beyond. Nice to sit out on the deck for dinner. Plenty of things to do. Nice restaurants and shopping. Big grocery store 3 minutes away by car. Gary was very attentive. Perfect!!

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Amy Ruef

After graduating high school in Floral Park NY, My family decided to move to the Berkshires permanently. I had been coming to this area since 1968. After establishing a life long career for myself, I met my wife in 1993 and we married in 1997. She has been a life long resident of Berkshire County. Both of us work in the area.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Long Island, NY my family and I would make frequent trips to the Berkshires. The property was originally purchased in 1983 as a small ranch house. Over the years, several renovations and the addition of the garage apartment in 2004 have made this a great place to call home and raise a family.

What makes this property unique

A unique property close to town with a large open area and abundant wildlife. Enjoy breakfast at the breakfast bar in the 3 season porch. Watch the sun come up or enjoy the many deer, fox, and occasional bears that frequent our property. Relax on the private deck adjacent to the 3 season room.
