3rd time here: Great place to stay for skiing and nature activities
So, this is 3rd time staying here. First 2 were for skiing catamount and butternut (they are very close). This time we did hiking, shopping and eating. This is a great centralized location between all the nice towns in NY and MA. There are tons of places to eat, hike and see within 10-30 mins any direction. The house itself is nice and clean, perfect for a family of 4. The owners are great, welcoming and friendly. We will def try to go back before next winter. Thanks again Dan!

Cozy getaway
Our family of 4 (two teens) had a great stay at Dan and Anita's Hillsdale carriage house. The property was immaculate, cozy, and the bedrooms were quite roomy. Less than 10 min from Catamount for skiing and 15 min to Great Barrington. We enjoyed relaxing in the rustic style living area with exposed beams at the end of the day. The kitchen is small but worked fine for us as we did not plan to do much involved cooking. The beds are quite firm, almost like a futon, which can be a plus depending on your preference. It was a bit firm for me but my husband loved it. Very quiet and peaceful, and communicating with Dan was a breeze. A lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Bodzin

Host profile image
We have been lucky to enjoy this property for the past 35 years.

Why they chose this property

This property is part of the historic district of Hillsdale. Our main house was built in 1827 and we tried to keep as much of the original look and charm of the barn as possible with exposed beams for instance. The property is in the center of town within walking distance of many amenities, yet it is private with 2.7 acres of land; a huge piece of land in the center of town.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located yet private. Cozy and historic.
