The perfect landing spot for our crew of 10 to enjoy our annual 4th of July Tanglewood trip. The kids loved to pool, and the home layout was perfect for our group. Looking forward to next year!
Our stay in the Berkshires was amazing! The house was exactly what we expected and more! It is so beautiful inside and out! All the beds were super cozy, loved the kitchen and gathering with everybody! The sauna was amazing. And most importantly, the communication between the homeowners and our group was spot on. When I had a question, I received an answer back immediately. I recommend this house wholeheartedly! We cannot wait to return back next year
Great communication and easy check in. The sauna was especially wonderful and relaxing! The house is only minutes away from Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, where we went to ride the mountain coaster (highly recommend!)

Hi Haruko, Thanks for reviewing your stay with us. We're glad to know your group enjoyed the sauna! Yes, Jiminy is only minutes away, very convenient. We'd love to host you again. Thank you for recommending us! Best, MH Team
We had a great winter visit to this property. The house was clean, well maintained and felt recently renovated. Located only 5 minutes to Jiminy Peak ski resort, so that was a plus for a house full of skiers. Bedrooms were nice sized and bathrooms were beautiful. One of the nicest VRBO rentals we have found. The only minor complaint was that the outdoor sauna was not functioning during our stay but all agree that we would 100% rent this one again.

Hi Cathy, Thank you for taking the time to reviewing your group's stay with us. We're glad to know everyone was comfortable and thrilled to hear we may be hosting you again! Thank you for your patience and working with us to find the best way to compensate you for the sauna being unavailable during your stay. We'd definitely host you again! Best, The Team
Beautiful property. Seems brand new. The kids got a lot of use of the pool and us adults used the sauna. Our two little puppies had a lot of room to roam. We will consider staying here again in the future
We stayed here for a Basketball tournament and it was GORGEOUS! Although we did not spend much time in the home it was so comfortable and spacious for our Teammates that did stay with us.
I recommended 100% staying here!
We booked this house for a weekend getaway to visit friends that live close by. The house is amazing, great island in the kitchen which we would just hang out at. The front porch is great and the pool is 10/10. Bonus of having a solo stove fire pit as well. More than enough room for the 5 adults and 2 kids. Will definitely be booking again!

Hello Rebecca, Thanks for the kind review of your stay. We're glad to know you enjoyed the kitchen layout and the pool! You've been great guests and we'd love to host you again soon. Best, MH Team
8 adults. Loved the house. Kitchen perfect in terms of space and supplies. Cozy living area. Beds comfortable. We rent a lot of homes and felt this was one of the best. Will return.
Hosts helpful and responsive. Sure will be even better when the pool is completed.
Our family loved the property so much. The main area with the huge kitchen island was the biggest focal point. Everyone commented on the island! The pool was so clean and well maintained and the enclosed fenced in area with the wonderful deck was a hit with our dog and our grandson. The neighborhood was wonderful to walk in. Our family took many walks to the little farm stand. The house was nicely located near Jiminy Peak and Mount Greylock. The huge tv in the family room made for fun movie watching. The house was the perfect size and had such great space for everyone. The hosts were so responsive. We had the best vacation.
This was a great house for six adults to spend most of a week at. It was certainly the cleanest VRBO I've ever rented -- the dishes, silverware and everything in the kitchen was ready to go at check in. Bathrooms and bedrooms were also ultra clean. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates and pots/pans. The rooms were bright both day and night. The large island kitchen was ideal for hanging out at and chatting with friends and family. There is a large yard off to the side of the house, with a pool and fire pit. Also has a nice, heavy duty gas grill. Owners responded quickly to questions. I highly recommend this rental.
Absolutely loved the house. We took advantage of the sauna and the pool. And we did use the firepit for s’mores one night. It was a perfect house for 7 adults and 4 children. One issue we had was the door locking without us actually turning the lock. We also needed to sweep all the cobwebs off the deck but needed to request a broom. We were also unaware of the mowing company coming to mow the lawn while we were enjoying the pool. And the management company actually sent a message for us to leave the premises before the checkout time even though we were already outside in our cars.
We like a house or condo with plenty of bedrooms. The common space was bright with plenty of space for spreading out. I especially appreciated:well-stocked kitchen - more than enough coffee mugs, wine glasses, drinking glasses, plates, etc. We didn't cook much but could have as there were plenty of pots and pans. Appreciated the presence of storage containers, too. plenty of towels - each bedroom was stocked with a double set that included two bath towelsplenty of paper products - tp and paper towels. (would have loved a box of tissues)plenty of cleaning supplies - dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergentplenty of well-marked toiletriesAnd especially, a short checkout list - towels in the bathroom, take out the trash, start the dishwasher, turn out the lights, and lock the door.
