The Cottage is exactly as described, comfortable for 2 people, artfully decorated, delightful. The hosts are warm and welcoming, attentive, but not intrusive. The location is quiet and lovely. A welcoming bottle of wine set the tone for the stay. We plan to return. 5+ stars!
it is just a cottage, very clean and comfortable. kitchen was a bit inadequate for us as it has no stove and not much counter space and a small sink. Outside property was very spacious and beautiful.
It would be impossible to miss the care that has gone into every aspect of this cottage. The home and grounds are beautiful. The quiet may not strike you right away, but over time, you notice how relaxing it is not to hear lots of traffic, etc. A great place to stay if you are looking for some quiet time in a beautiful location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our mid-August 2021 six-night stay at Bruce and Shira’s Berkshire Cottage. The cottage is furnished as described and illustrated – cozy and comfortable; the grounds are beautiful, well maintained. Everything was clean, functional, and accessible. We were surprised and delighted to find a bottle of red and a fresh bag of pita chips upon arrival. We took advantage of the outdoor grill (provided with a full tank of propane!) which worked well to overcome the mid-summer rains. You can’t fight mother nature but the grill did the job. The robust wi-fi connection and the presence of a land-line (which we didn’t need) ensured we could connect with our local family when needed. Check-in was seamless thanks to instructions received a few days before we left home. We appreciated receiving these well in advance, as we arrived after sunset at the end of a 12 hour travel day. Shira checked-in with us a few days after arrival, just to see if we needed anything (we didn’t!). The check-out process was efficient and easy, though we were a bit sad that it was time to leave! From start to finish, Shira and Bruce were very prompt and transparent in response to our questions, all of which helped simplify our trip planning. They are model hosts, their dog is delightful, and the cottage was perfect for our stay.
My family had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the cottage. We enjoyed dinners and ice cream in town, the proximity to many beautiful lakes, hikes, and other recreational activities. A lovely getaway in the Berkshires!
The property is rural but nearby Great Barrington. The cottage is well equipped, cozy and very comfortable. Shira is very warm, friendly and helpful with suggestions for dining and shopping. We recommend staying here to enjoy the Berkshires a d the Hudson River valley.
Shira and Bruce’s cottage was just ideal for our five-day Berkshires getaway. The location is great—in a quiet rural neighborhood, the cottage has beautifully tended gardens and is very close to an excellent variety of hikes, swimming holes, and the towns of the Southern Berkshires. The cottage itself is attached and perfectly private. Everything is very tidy and clean; we visited during the pandemic and had absolute confidence in our hosts’ booking and cleaning practices. The main bed and bedding were very comfortable and high quality; the kitchenette amply supplied-including a welcoming bottle of Rioja! The deep and eclectic record collection and turntable were an added bonus. Bruce and Shira themselves are friendly, easy-going and accessible, quick to extend great advice about hidden-gem cafes, hikes, and area markets. All in all, we had high expectations for this trip, and they were exceeded in every way. We’d absolutely return.
My dog and I spent a lovely 3 months over the winter at Bruce and Shira’s - the cottage was wonderful, perfect for one or two people, and conveniently located about 10 minutes from town. There is a great “entertainment center” too, with internet tv, Bluetooth speakers, a record player and tons of records, not to mention a great collection of books and movies. Additionally, Covid hit right in the middle of my stay, and the owners were great about it - I felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to recharge and get away!
We had a wonderful visit at Shira and Bruce's cottage. It was a beautiful setting, quiet and relaxing and close to everything. They were lovely hosts!
The cottage was delightful, situated in a bucolic green environment. In an exquisitely calm and beautifully natural setting, the cottage provided us a wonderful antidote to the hustle and bustle of Manhattan and a week-situated gateway to explore the Berkshires.
