We had a wonderful stay at the Taggart House - what a memorable place! We are five couples who get together every other year and this was the perfect place for us. There are so many things to mention: the feeling of staying in this gracious and historic home; the care with which it has been restored; the ability to accommodate all five couples in lovely, comfortable rooms (with en suites) that pleased us all; the size and usability of the well-stocked kitchen; the gracious dining room that could seat our entire group; the fun (and oft-used) billiards room; the wonderful sun porch that opened up to the beautiful back yard; and the easy proximity to so many of the historic places that the Berkshires has to offer. Well done Caitlin and George!I speak for our group in saying that we would not hesitate to recommend the Taggart House to others planning to visit the area - and we hope to return for another memorable stay.

We were in Stockbridge for the first time for our annual family Thanksgiving and orienteering event. Most stayed at the inn, but some rented the Taggert House as a place where family could easily be together It was perfect and so conveniently located a short and beautiful walk to town. The house is huge, the kitchen is roomy and well-stocked, the beds were comfortable and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The pool table was a big hit. Parking was easy. The owners couldn’t have been nicer or more responsive. I highly recommend the Taggert House and, if your group is extra large, also rent their River House just behind it. Five stars plus. We will be back!

Amazing property

We had an amazing time. We had several out of town guests who stayed at the home and then a birthday party with local guests in the ballroom. The ballroom is absolutely stunning. The chef enjoyed the kitchen. There was plenty of parking and a beautiful setting. I would stay again.

Perfect location

Our group of 10 friends really enjoyed this beautiful historic property. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and yet wonderful, large areas where we could all gather together. We especially appreciated the location, so close to the center of Stockbridge, which afforded us the opportunity to take many walks around the area.

Wonderful family home in the Berkshires

Perfect home for hosting multiple families. Tons of en suite bathrooms and king-sized beds. Only ten minutes by car from Tanglewood and walking distance to Naum Keeg and Main Street shops. It’s really a gem.

Grand Getaway

The house was absolutely fabulous - even better than the online pictures. We were there for a “sibling/spouse” reunion. There were so many spaces to hang out - huge dining room, porch, living room & bonus was the fire pit. The hosts, Caitlin & George, were delightful and very responsive. The house is beautifully furnished and it is centrally located to several cute artsy towns and nearby attractions. If you’re looking for someplace special, this is the place!!!

Great house in great location

The Taggart House was a wonderful place to gather with friends and family to celebrate my birthday. The house is beautiful; the rooms are large; kitchen is great; bugs kept us from hanging out in the backyard but the conservatory was light and bright and a perfect spot for cocktails. We loved the proximity to the town of Stockbridge and we would walk back and forth a couple times a day. We had a couple of small issues, and Caitlin was very responsive in answering my questions/concerns. All in all, a really great getaway.

Hi Ann, We’re so glad you had a great time at the Taggart House!:) We have the yard treated with organic plant oils on a regular schedule and this is rarely an issue, so thank you for letting us know, we’ll call and have it re-treated and it won’t be a problem going forward. We’ll hope you’ll come back and visit us soon! Very best Caitlin and George

One of the Best Rentals, Ever.

The Taggart House exceeds expectations. It is shipshape, fully equipped with responsive and friendly hosts/owners. Its historic but also great fun for a group with lots of spaces for meals, meal prep, socializing, TV watching, outdoor dining, fire pit etc. Its a memory maker for all who stay here.
