My girlfriend and I spent nearly three months here with our two cats to escape Brooklyn during COVID and be in nature while working remotely. This house absolutely exceeded our expectations — the pictures do not do justice to the magic of this home. It is the perfect blend of cozy, rustic cabin vibes and modern upgrades. From the screened-in porch and backyard fire pit to the spacious den with an electric fireplace and the master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and a wood-burning fireplace, there are many versatile spaces that each provide their own unique vibe and appeal. We loved the artwork and quirky decor throughout the home, and there are a bunch of games, books and cards for young families. For food lovers, this kitchen is a dream — plenty of room to spread out and make a feast, and well-stocked with oils, spices, pots/pans, knives and pantry staples. Coming from our tiny BK apartment, having two dedicated office spaces was huge for us — one in the master bedroom and one in the first-floor single bedroom. We brought our own office chairs, but the dining room table has six chairs to choose from as well. The den has a massive TV with all the streaming apps connected, and there is also one in the master, and there are Sonos speakers connected in every room of the house plus the backyard. The property itself is beautifully kept, with animal sculptures throughout, and the front deck was absolutely stunning in the fall, surrounded by trees and looking out into the woods. The view from the master and the screened-in porch was epic — the land drops down below, so you feel like you are suspended in the trees. There’s a ton of hiking trails just down the road, and plenty more in the surrounding area, plus some amazing restaurants in Egremont and Great Barrington. We couldn’t have asked for a better home to spend these last few months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. Stan was always just a text away if we needed anything (had a couple brief power outages in the area and a toilet leak) and he connected us with his lovely housekeeper Evelyn, who even helped me by setting up the house while we were out for a surprise proposal to my now fiancé. Needless to say, this home and our time here was very special to us. Perfect for couples, families, or friend gatherings. And we can’t wait to be back!
