We had such a great stay. The house was so well done with care taken to preserve the heritage of the home while also making it very comfortable to utilize as a modern home. We ate out some but also cooked at home and enjoyed the river. Fall foliage was off the charts beautiful, we hiked close by every day.

Charming house, great location, easy breezy getaway

We just got back from a 3 day/3 night visit and highly recommend this house for a getaway! The house was cozy and clean, it was close to multiple towns, many hikes, or just nice to be at to watch the bird life in the river. Great choice!

The blue house

I looooved the blue house. It was so pretty and the views of the river was so relaxing. We ate outside next to the river one time. I could sit outside for hours just watching the birds and duck. The location was perfectos. Lots to do and see. I would definitely stay there again.

Cozy and beautiful

The view out the giant picture window, with the Housatonic flowing by, is worth the trip alone. The house is cozy & super comfortable, especially when it's snowy & 5 degrees outside. We just curled up with books & coffee & enjoyed not having to be anywhere. Nearby Great Barrington has lots of good food options.

Slow down...

Perfect place for a time-out, regroup, be quiet, listen to Nature, smell the leaves... We really enjoyed our stay. 'Rustic', for sure, but all amenities were there. Take a deep breath in and out when you enter and when you leave. You won't regret it.

Charming Berkshire escape!

My husband and I stayed for two weeks in August and had a great visit--we come every August to escape the southern heat and reconnect with family/friends having lived in the Berkshires for 20 years. The Blue House on the Bend is so charming and was just right for us---the beds were very comfortable and the two updated bathrooms were great--the water pressure in the showers was amazing. The kitchen is well-equipped with the things you need to cook and dine and plenty of glassware for drinks/wine while enjoying the BEAUTIFUL view of the river out the huge picture window---Enjoy!!

Comfortable, convenient stay

This house is so easy to feel at-home in. It is not super luxurious, but it is as comfortable, and easy to live in as your own home. We found the beds comfortable and the baths and kitchen very nicely kept. Having the river in the back yard--wonderful! We'd be glad to stay again. One note for allergic people: One of the duvets is down, and all house laundry is done with scented detergent. It was easy to swap out the duvet because a non-down one was available, but we do wish no scent had been used.

Lovely in winter, too (simplicity & comfort)

My husband and 15-year old son and I stayed at the little blue house on the river bend in late November for 5 nights. We got some unexpected snow (8-10 inches). Snow shoeing at a farm was about 15-20 min away but we were too lazy this time around. The house was inviting--plenty warm, cozy, and what a view of the snow-filled trees and the river. It was a pleasure to be "snowed in". House is actually roomier than appears in the photos. The location is very convenient--most things of interest seemed to be no more than about 15 minutes away (villages of Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Monument Mountain for local hiking, etc.). The fabulous Berkshire Bakery is just a few minutes away (they make their own gluten free pizza crust). Very quiet and peaceful setting. We all slept really well. House was very clean and well stocked with all that we needed for our stay. We cooked in some nights and it was a breeze. My husband appreciated the hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Mary was a delight to work with. If you are a couple, or small group, looking for simplicity, comfort, peace and quiet--and something well located and with a great view--then this is your place.

Room with a view!

What a wonderful weekend we spent in western mass at the Blue House! A quiet and beautifully restored home by a bend in the river gave us just the weekend we needed to celebrate a birthday and see great music at nearby Tanglewood! The living room picture window looks directly out on the river and the outdoor seating areas made for a great place to sit, eat and reflect. The communication with the hosts was fantastic and they were quick to answer any questions we had about the house and the area. Can’t wait to come back!

Breathtaking views and perfect home

We stayed at the Blue House during our visit to the Berkshires. The location was simply perfect. We were able to explore all the restaurants, hikes and museums within a short drive. Our favorite part was the river behind the home. While not safe to swim, it provides an amazing setting for a very relaxing vacation. We spent hours observing the ducks, beavers, storks, fireflies and birds while lounging in the background. The house was very clean and well stocked. Communication with the host was also great. We highly recommend this property!

Super cute house in Stockbridge!

We had a wonderful time here while visiting our son at school in Salisbury CT. The house is on a beautiful bend on the Housatonic River. It's super close to Great Barrington for shopping and restaurants. The house was perfect for a family of four, we loved sitting at the big picture window, or at the small terrace down by the river. Everything in the house worked really well we would definitely come back again! The hosts are great very responsive and gave us some great recommendations for things to do in the area.

Enchantment by the river

The house photos are very accurate. We were delighted with our stay. Did most of our eating at "home" and the kitchen and dining room were well appointed. The beds were comfortable. We loved the use of color and art throughout. Life by the river is fantastic.

Hidden Gem

Twisting down country roads in Stockbridge MA, tucked away on a quiet road sits one sweet house that brings river life into your new world. Views from inside the very smartly decorated home draw you to the river with bird sounds welcoming you. Outside there is a spellbinding river terrace where you can escape the cares of the world. Come and behold peace.

Comfy and cozy

The Blue House was the perfect place to spend our winter get-away-and-do-nothing weekend. The beautiful wintry river scene out the big window was wonderful, especially after we got a few inches of fresh snow. Hope we can be back next winter, if not before. Thanks.

A repeat favorite of ours

This was our 3rd Christmastime stay in this cozy little place. The river flowing by the magnificent picture window in the living room is the thing that really catches your attention, but the comfort and hominess of this place are just what the doctor ordered if you've had a hectic fall and just want to unwind for a bit. Clean, well provisioned - really no complaints. Now we have to come back in warm weather so we can enjoy the sun porch!

Bravo, Blue House on the Bend

Strategically set near the banks of The Housatonic River this house brings the quiet country setting inside. Smart furnishings with ample household accoutrements complete the experience. Blue House is close to all Berkshire activities. Sit back watch the songbirds, Herons and hawks flit and swoop about the river. At night, the rippling river sounds soothes one to sleep. In an instant. Delightful owner.
