Reviews
"Absolutely loved it. Perfect getaway when the city is too noisy. Awesome location in the woods surrounded by nothing but forest. If you plan on staying outside in the hot tub, maybe get one of those bug repellant tiki torches. However I got no other complaints. Maybe a tv in the adult bedroom? Anyway, good kitchen, good bathroom, good living room, good room for adults, good room for children. If you're looking to get away, there isn't anything wrong in picking this place if you desire a forest get away within driving distance of some good local eats and markets."
"This was a great experience overall. The area was nice and private, very peaceful and relaxing They also provide a lot of necessities, so you don't have to stress about having to buy things at the store. They have everything you need there. If you have any issues with anything they are quick and responsive."
"Everything is great as in photos. Try the jacuzzi. It's hot and works very well."
"Loved the fire pit and privacy. Nicole was very communicative and quickly responded to every question we had! Dog friendly-our pup loved her stay, including bed and toys! Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't working, but Nicole did everything in her power to help us problem solve. Definitely recommend for a quiet getaway!"
"First off, Nicole is a wonderful host!! She was very proactive when it came to communication and providing details about our stay. She developed a wonderful digital guide that I was able to view before our trip which helped to plan out activities and dining for our family with dietary restrictions. Nicole was also very responsive during our stay when I had a few questions. The home itself was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. It was great to have the kitchen stocked with the basics, since we cooked a lot there and didn’t need to bring every little thing. I loved that there were lots of towels and wash cloths available. The house was perfect for our family; there were lots of games, books and even coloring supplies! The local area has lots to do but we loved the lake and canoe. The water was very clear and warm. There is a lovely, newly installed patio with a clean hot tub and a nice fire pit. You don’t even have to leave the house to have a great time. 10/10."
"We had a lovely time at this charming cottage in the woods. The hot tub was lovely and we were a short walk from a nice lake with a cute sand beach. The home was decorated adorably, had a fully stocked kitchen, lots of guidebooks on the Berkshires, and toys for our dogs as well :) Nicole was super responsive and communicative, and check-in and check-out were super easy. Would definitely come back!"
"Excellent hosts! Had a great stay and place was as described. Wonderful spot if you are looking to disconnect or take in a show at Tanglewood. Would definitely book again. A few fans in closet and more coffee cups is bout the only thing I could think of to improve. Thank you!!"
"Dog friendly and convenient to Tanglewood. Not luxurious but clean and reasonably priced. Very satisfied with our stay."

"We very much enjoyed our stay here! The house was small and cozy, plenty of room for our family of five to live comfortably for the week. The hot tub was a huge hit with our two girls, and all three kids loved running around the large, private, back yard. There isn't a ton of things directly in the area, but Nicole provided us with recommendations for food and local spots to check out. There was a small private beach area down the road that we loved going to each day, and since no one was ever really there, we had the place to ourselves! Overall, we had a blast and will be back!"

"We had such a wonderful stay at Nicole & Aaron's home. The house is exactly as described and we felt very comfortable and cozy there. We loved using the hot tub after a long day of venturing out! The location cannot be better, so much to do near by and the Sherwood Shoppe is a must for a great meal no matter the time of day. We look forward to staying again at the cottage in the woods!"

"We had an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable week at the Cottage! Nicole was extremely easy to communicate with from the start, and left us with little to no questions because she covered and all the necessary information in her messages & through the website! Everything was as described and we honestly thought it was even nicer in person than the pictures!! We were so happy that we were able to take our dog with us for his first (bigger) trip! We had a great time and would definitely return."

"This cottage was exactly what I was looking for! A cute retreat in the woods with a relaxing hot tub. Nicole was very hospitable and quick to respond when I had questions or sought out suggestions. We felt very much at home in this cozy space with well-appointed details in the decor. And the small touches really made a difference to make us feel welcome -- there were snacks (chips, cookies) and k-cups and toys (and poop bags) for our dog! Hospitality at its best! We loved it here and can't wait to come back!"

"Very peaceful and private cottage! Hot tub was fantastic to relax in after a day of white water rafting about an hour away on the Deerfield River. Plenty of space in the cottage, clean and cozy. Nicole was so helpful, friendly and responsive!"

"We had a great stay at this cottage. We utilized the canoe and the hot tub! The private beach is quiet and easy to navigate. We are thankful for the recommendations provided by Nicole and Aaron! The Berkshires are a wonderful place to visit.
Thank you very much!

"My stay was unbelievable peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating. The hot tub was soooo amazing, the snacks and coffee were yummy, the house is sweetly decorated, cozy, and the yard and woods are gorgeous. I absolutely loved being nestled in the forest, as I worked from home. The bed was beyond comfortable and the hosts are soo kind and supportive. I loved everything about my stay and would 100% come back."

"From the second I booked this property Nicole reached right out! I can’t say how Amazing she truly is. I could spend the whole review just talking about her as a host….
The property is a peaceful paradise. A lot to do just exploring the all dirt road neighborhood which was much larger then I expected. No traffic at all. The lakes were quite & the canoe provided was a wicked added bonus. Definitely drive there tho.
There are so many activities to do just a 30 min drive away. Haunted Mansions, Wineries, hiking trails and plenty of lakes. Shopping at the outlet if that’s up your alley.
The Hot tub was a toasty 104 degrees and crystal clear. Ample towels provided.
No firewood but the property is surrounded by dead limbs. Fire pit and Griddle as described. Kitchen was fully stocked. Everything from sugar to a crockpot. I brought cooking supplies & did not need to use mine.
I will definitely be back and would recommend you all to give this property a good look. A hidden gem.
Thank you"

"Peaceful location, great amenities, and the hot tub was an excellent bonus. It was great to have a campfire and soak in the tub under the stars. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to prepare a meal."

"My partner and I had a wonderful stay at this airbnb. Nicole was amazingly responsive and kind in every communication we had with her. The cabin was perfect for a couples vacation, with a stocked kitchen and pretty much everything you could ever need. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great escape into the Berkshires!"

"Enjoyed our stay. Hot tub was great. Very peaceful. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to issues at home. Would have liked to explore the area more."
Beth & Michael- Airbnb Guest October 2024
"We had a mini reunion with our two adult kids and it was perfect. Very cozy! We used the hot tub and fire pit. So many stars out. We canoed around the lake to see the beautiful fall foliage. We loved walking around the area. We played games in the living room - a lot of fun! Perfect retreat in the woods!"
Nancy- Airbnb Guest October 2024
"Nicole was so responsive and accommodating from beginning to end. Her place was very clean and had everything that I needed for our stay! Kids got to enjoy playing outside while adults relaxed in hot tub on exceptional (warm) fall get-away( just what we needed)!! Thank you again"
Elena- Airbnb Guest October 2024
"Nicole was so kind and responsive, her property was absolutely beautiful and the perfect private get-away. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, peaceful, fall stay in the MA mountains, this is for you! I can't recommend Nicole and her property enough!"

"My husband and I booked this Airbnb as a small little getaway to celebrate our ten year dating anniversary! We love booking a place that's a little bit remote for our dating anniversary because we really want to have a small getaway from our busy lives and just be somewhere in the woods and with a view of the stars that we don't get from our usual city life. This place was wonderful in that it checked all of our boxes as being somewhere small that allows dogs and has a fire pit and a hot tub. We had a great view of the stars one night and it was really nice that there was a telescope available to use in one of the rooms. The hosts were the very responsive and tried their best to help us get the string lights working (we didn't end up getting them working, they probably got damaged from a previous guest or just from the weather) but overall we had a really nice time and would consider booking again in the future."
Brecken- Airbnb Guest November 2024
"Nicole was so helpful and always replied within minutes if I had a question or any concerns.
The place itself was super cozy and peaceful. There were plenty of recommendations made by Nicole and previous guests in the guest book for food and hiking to check out!
Overall a wonderful place to stay :)"
