The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for. Nine of us went on girls' trip and there was plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. Elaine is an amazing hostess, and her pottery is just wonderful! I would recommend this for anybody that would like a nice place to stay for a large group.There is plenty of room to spread out.
We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! We were five adults. The house was comfortable, very clean, spacious and well stocked. The house is pet friendly and the property made it easy to walk our dog. The host was friendly, very responsive and even picked a fresh salad for us from her garden. Our host had many wonderful recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. The location is perfect for activities in the Berkshires. We plan to return.
Elaine was a wonderful host! She greeted us with beautiful flowers and fresh vegetables from her garden. She provided great advice on local travel and restaurants. Genuinely historic and comfortable farmhouse, well stocked with all the amenities! House is well located for Tanglewood and other Berkshire attractions. We particularly loved the screened porch and the spacious dining room. She is also a talented potter with whimsical treasures for sale in her shop near the farmhouse.
Elaine was a gracious host, welcoming us with a bouquet of flowers and fresh cucumbers and lettuce, all from her lovely garden. The summer porch was our favorite place to gather. Our family and two dogs had a wonderful time. The location was perfect for visits to Tanglewood and Shakespeare & Co., Kripalu, hiking trails, Stockbridge, and Lenox. An added bonus was Elaine's pottery studio, where one of my daughters found a beautiful, hand made pitcher for her home.
With 5 bedrooms & 2 baths, this property had plenty of room for our family & pup. We especially enjoyed having our morning coffee in the enclosed porch. Elaine is a great host, greeting us upon arrival & the fresh flowers & organic greens from her garden were greatly appreciated. Thank you Elaine!!
Elaine is a wonderful host - so thoughtful and generous. We had a terrific family vacation with 5 adults and two dogs in this charming and well-situated home. We loved being close to Stockbridge, Great Barrington & Lenox, and we also took easy drives to Hudson and Williamstown. The house had plenty of seating, a large dining table, and a grill among many other great features. We loved sitting in the screened porch on some very hot summer days. We would absolutely return.
The farmhouse was perfect for our family getaway weekend with our adult children. Very spacious living room, dining room, and five bedrooms helped make our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Elaine, the property's owner, was very accommodating and informative. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are visiting the Berkshires.
Elaine was a wonderful host, and I highly recommend her for your next stay. The house is roomy with plenty of space for our large party. There is no AC so we had a few uncomfortable nights but there were fans in every room which helped a great deal. We had a great time, and the house is in a perfect location Tanglewood, although Rt. 41 can be a very busy road. West Stockbridge is a quaint, lovely town with some exceptional foodie places.
The property was beautiful and well maintained. The owner, Elaine, has put a lot of thought and care into the place. We had a great stay. I hope we make it back sometime soon.
We enjoyed our stay with Elaine Hoffman as she welcomed us warmly to her rental home. Very comfortable accommodations and a great location. Beautiful, peaceful grounds. We had access to everything we needed to make our Berkshire visit most enjoyable!
Comfortable home, good setting, close to Tanglewood, and a friendly, accommodating host ((Elaine Hoffman). There was a lovely sunporch, a grill, and outside space for games!
We had a lovely stay in the Berkshires. The house is in great shape for being almost 200 years old - very well maintained and clean. We had plenty of space for our four adults and two kids. Elaine is a fantastic and attentive host. A perfect long weekend away with family. Highly recommended!
We were 2 families of adults celebrating the new year. This house had everything we needed. The house was quaint and had some great hiking right behind it. The owner and her pottery studio also lived in the property. A short drive to Stockbridge and great Barrington.
This is a quaint farmhouse with a fabulous porch for breakfast and evening cocktails. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water and the hostess, Elaine has thought of everything you could possibly need. She shares her fresh produce from her garden to add to our meals. She is very helpful with directions and information on local sites. The location is perfect for exploring the best the Bershires has to offer! We had a wonderful week! We look forward to returning soon!

Good for bigger group esp when weather is good.
House was great for a bigger group - we had 6 sleeping there. House is old and does have some old house smells but is well maintained. it is near the street so there is some traffic noise. Hostess was most gracious.
This cozy farmhouse was exactly as described in the listing. Elaine was very accommodating and went out of her way to insure we had what needed. We work for a traveling construction company, each guy had their own room and the space to walk around outside to get away as needed. Will definitely keep contact info if we have to work in area again.
The place has a lot of character, we loved the wooden materials and utensils. It's pretty spacious with 5 beds. No hot tub/jacuzzi, only shower, and no fire pit either. The host graciously gave us flowers and fresh vegetables from her garden. She was very communicative and emailed us lots of recommendations for activities in the area. The only complaint is the sofas and beddings are a quite dusty and gave us all allergies.
This was the perfect place to gather for a group of adults (family and friends) coming together for a Tanglewood extended weekend. The charming farmhouse had lovely quaint details, such as exposed beams, wide plank floors, quirky closets. We spent most of our time and had all of our meals out on the ample screened porch, looking out over the lovely garden. The kitchen was well equipped. As it is an old house, we kept the windows open to keep it aired out. And thankfully every window had tight fitting screens and really effective fans, which were all we needed to stay comfortable even on hot nights. Elaine was a gracious and friendly host, and really made us feel welcomed.
Our only reservation would be for people with mobility concerns: 4 bedrooms are up a steep and narrow staircase. This was not a concern for any of us, but it could be challenging for some, or for people with heavy luggage.
My wife and I wanted a place that was quiet with a comfortable reading room and accessible porch, close enough to town and still distant enough for serenity - and this house had it. Not that we needed it but it's important to acknowledge that the house has 5, count 'em, 5 bedrooms.
It's a bit rustic, as disclosed, but the master bedroom upstairs was very comfortable. Plenty of sheets and towels and a very well-stocked kitchen. We did not need the dining room but that was a lovely room as well. The house is on Rte 41 so there was the sound of traffic, but at night so few cars passing it was not an issue. Our favorite room was the wide and comfortable screened-in porch, where I spent most of my time. The drive to Great Barrington is under 15 minutes and Stockbridge is even closer. All of this is delightful, but the best feature is Elaine's hospitality - always available if we needed anything but never interfering. She is fascinating: be sure to ask about her personal, worldly life experience.

AWFUL FALSE ADVERTISING
Welcome to our idyllic farmhouse in the beautiful Berkshires, where you’ll enjoy the tranquility and comfort of country living any season of the year.**** Upon arrival we were shocked to find this house 25 feet from the main extremely busy road.( We came with three dogs and two children under 4). This first picture on that Eliane has on this website is taken from her house that is directly behind the "Farmhouse". This owner was watching our family the entire time. We had left to run to the local store to come back to her coming into the house with a written letter stating that we were going to be charged more money because our family that we met halfway from New York had came to our place and they had a Teacup Poodle, and we didn't inform her of that.
Relax, slow down, watch the birds in the garden, listen to the babbling brook. Or take advantage of all the Berkshires has to offer – cultural attractions, fine dining, outdoor adventures, shopping and more. Spend some time here and create memories for years to come.
***"The babbling brook" You cannot see it from the house.
This is a 2 story 1840's farmhouse in the Berkshires with original ceiling beams and 16' floor boards in much of the house.
Fully furnished with 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a gorgeous screened-in porch overlooking 4 acres of gardens, stream and wooded mountains.
A large living room with 2 full couches (one is a comfortable queen pull out and the other is a great napping or over night sleeping couch), a love seat, and rocking chairs. WiFi/Cable TV/VCR/DVD/Stereo/and CD player. *** Wifi does not work. All the furniture listed in this add is extremely old and worn out. There is a weird moldy odor. The owner states their is "memory foam" which is really a sheet of egg cartons foam.
"Wooded and river walks/bicycling, cross country skiing/snowshoeing right out the door".** False If you want to go for a walk you need to walk a half a mile down the street into someone else's yard to get to any walking trails.
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL Experience here would not recommend to anyone.
