About this property

Amazing People & Pet-Welcoming Country Haven

Cavalier Cottage B&B is a very pet-friendly lodging between Charlemont and Shelburne Falls in beautiful western Mass. It’s a lovely alternative to a hotel and perfect for those traveling with pets. Now in its 12th year, Cavalier Cottage has clearly answered a need for genuinely pet-friendly accommodations.

~ More than pet friendly B&B
~ Breakfast of homemade English scones, coffee, and juice
~ Nearby hiking trails, downhill and X-country skiing, snow shoeing, river rafting, tubing, zip line canopy tours, horseback riding, tennis, golf, biking, and rock climbing and relaxed river gazing.

Nestled at the base of the Charlemont hills, located on a quiet country road, Cavalier Cottage has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Guests say the cottage “has a special air of tranquility.” Most pets settle right in with no sense of strangeness and their human companions find themselves absorbing the peace and calm of their surroundings.

Cavalier Cottage is convenient to the scenic Mohawk Trail (Route 2) and many outdoor activities in beautiful western Mass., with its quaint villages, and home to a great variety of iconic educational and cultural destinations, including (in North Adams) MassMoCa, the Clarke Institute of Art and Williams College Art Museum. Charlemont has food destinations like Avery’s General store, the CrazyHorse bar at Berkshire East. Shelburne Falls has Mocha Maya’s (espresso drinks) and lots of pubs and food eateries.

Cavalier Cottage is a home away from home for all seasons; perfect for week-long vacations, weekend or mid-week getaways, writer’s retreats, house-hunting visits, and temporary lodging during relocation.

We had a lovely stay at Cavalier Cottage with our two pups. The cottage is cozy, clean and adorable. Patricia was very welcoming and accommodating. We came here to ski and Berkshire East is just a few miles away. We also found some great hiking spots for the dogs and had fun exploring Shelburne Falls.

Lovely, quiet little cottage

My dog and I traveled from CT to the Cavalier Cottage to escape the fireworks which bother both of us. The cottage is quaint and comfortable, the peace and quiet is blessed, and Patricia, the hostess could not have been nicer.

Patricia was a very accommodating host. She was there to meet us and say goo-bye. She temporarily loaned us a windshield scraper on the last morning. The unit was clean, decorated very nicely, and had all we needed. The kitchen had all essentials (including coffee, tea, cereals, butter, milk), which travelers might not carry. The daily muffins and OJ were appreciated. The location might not be urban enough for everyone, but we liked it. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Perfectly tranquil!

Thoroughly enjoyed my extended stay at Cavalier Cottage! A very peaceful setting in Charlemont and a slice of dog heaven. The cottage is more than cozy with beautiful touches of flowers and morning scones. A perfectly relaxing getaway for you and your pet. Kudos to owner Pat B. for creating a truly pet friendly and charming home away from home!

Wonderful Pet-friendly Place to stay

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights with our puppy, and we had a wonderful time! The accommodations were great, and our dog loved going for walks in the beautiful surrounding area. It’s always nice to find a pet-friendly place to stay at when we travel, and this is one of the best we’ve ever found. It’s spacious, with a nice and well-stocked kitchen. Pat was super friendly and helpful, and her fresh hot scones are an amazing way to start the day! We are definitely looking forward to our next stay!

Perfect stay for us and the pup!

Cozy and lovely cottage located in a beautiful wooded area on the perfect road for dog walks. Delightful host with her own canine pack made us feel right at home, and we enjoyed the morning scones. The location is great- just outside of Shelburne Falls, home to the Bridge of Flowers, glacial pools, and delicious restaurants (esp Hearty Eats)and vintage shops. It was east to take day trip to Mt Greylock, Historic Deerfield etc. This was our annual fall foliage trip and the leaves this year were spectacular. All in all, Cavalier Cottage was a perfect stay in every way.

The place was in a very nice setting. Patricia answered the few questions that we had. The house was small and I suggest only 2 people should occupy the space. Our dogs were happy and welcomed with open arms.

Beagle holiday

My daughter and I brought our 2 beloved Beagles for their first lengthy car ride and holiday to Pat’s lovely rescue haven. As our little guys are also rescues, we are endeavoring to give them the best life ever….experiencing Cavalier Cottage allowed us to do just that. Many thanks to Pat and all her very loved rescues for sharing this slice of Heaven with us. We will be back.
