There are windows on three sides, a ceiling fan and a window fan.

It was an excellent stay overall. Particular highlights were the breathtaking views from the property, especially at sunrise and on clear nights, and the central location affording convenient access to all of the Berkshires.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Frederica's guest house! The 'French country' vibe instantly made us feel at home. The pool and grounds were even more stunning than the photos. The highlight was definitely the pool area and the beautiful grounds. The relaxing atmosphere and natural surroundings provided the perfect escape! We were pleased to bring our two golden doodles along, although the on-leash requirement was a bit restrictive. Nonetheless, it didn't significantly impact our overall enjoyment. In summary, Frederica's guest house offers a charming retreat with its cozy interior, breathtaking pool, and tranquil ambiance. We appreciate Frederica for sharing this lovely space with us and look forward to returning in the future. If you are thinking about booking this vacation home, go ahead and do it! You'll have a great time!
Our hosts were wonderful and thoughtful. The cottage was a perfect summer getaway and retreat for me, my husband, and our 4 year old. The pool was a huge hit with the little one and us. We made sure we took a daily dip. My toddler was ecstatic about the Hello Kitty toy waiting for her! The stay was perfect and our hosts met all of our needs. Can’t wait to return!
The view is gorgeous! Frederica is a wonderful host. We had a peaceful week with our little dog in her quaint cottage. It was roomy enough for us to work, eat and sleep without feeling crowded. It was our first trip to the Berkshires and we took short drives to the cute towns of Lenox (25min), Stockbridge (10 min), and Williamstown (1hr) Great Barrington is a quick five-minute drive down the hill with a lot of great restaurants, shopping and pop-up live music on the sidewalks. What's not to like?- it was awesome!
Beautiful, quiet country retreat an easy drive from many cultural attractions! Large and airy, with ample room for two, it's an easy place to spend a week without feeling a bit cramped, with great views and a thoughtful host who provided many extras and was always available but respectful of privacy. Hope to return next year!
Absolutely gorgeous property. The views cannot be beat, especially from the pool. The space is cute and cozy, totally enough space for two. If you do nothing else on your trip, swing over to the Berkshire Mountain Bakery for a pizza and some ciabatta.
The cottage is just perfect for a stay near Great Barrington. The windows have breathtaking views of farmland and Berkshires. Frederica is just a fantastic host: helpful and available, but not at all pushy. GB has some of the best food in the Northeast and hiking and walking and running--directly from the cottage and nearby--is stunning. This was my second visit and I look forward to returning!
On a quiet country road but close to culture and great food. Charming and comfortable place to stay.
Quiet and cozy studio apartment. Tastefully decorated, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Very comfortable bed. Gorgeous views of the fields adjacent to the property with hills on the horizon. Easy check-in/out. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine and a bar of gourmet chocolate.
We had a great time these last few days. This is a good location. We got to Tanglewood twice and also to the Mount and the Rockwell museum. This cottage is lovely. Love the beauty and serenity of the area. Enjoyed the use of the pool and the kayaks. The take out at Aroma was delicious. We are looking forward to going to the Clarke today. We enjoyed our stay so much and hope to return.
We had a wonderful stay at this Great Barrington cottage. A lovely spacious one bedroom with kitchen and bath. Very convenient to all that the Berkshires have to offer. A beautiful view of the surrounding hills out of our window and a glimmering pool to boot! The hosts gave us all kinds of useful information beforehand about hikes and other nearby amenities. We will be going back!
We just enjoyed 5 gorgeous days at this property. Everything was exactly as described, the hosts were friendly and responsive, and the location can't be beat. We will be back!
This was our second stay, three weeks this time, and we will be back, fate willing. The photos are a perfect representation. Excellent shower, very comfortable bed, ample room for 2 (for us these basics matter), best views in the Berkshires, really, a beautiful bargain.
Great location in terms of things to do nearby, but also the view on site was stunning every time of day and night! Private, quiet, cozy space, friendly hosts. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to come back.
This cottage sits on a beautiful piece of property next door to the owners. The surroundings are bucolic including a sheep farm down the road with working dogs. You need a car to go places. The cottage itself is very simple with simple supplies. There is no stove but there is a toaster oven and a microwave that sits on top of the refrigerator. Great Barrington is a great place to get the best impression of the Berkshires. Plus it is not too far from other notable towns such as Lee and Lenox. One can also visit Bash Bish Falls or venture into Columbia County in NY. If you love the great outdoors, you can find great hiking spots such as Monument Mountain or biking around the town on remote roads. I found my stay very relaxing.
My partner and I stayed here for 4 days in May. Quiet and peaceful property with a beautiful views! Host was accommodating and let us use the pool which was also very lovely.
