Historic Stockbridge Villa on 25 acres sleeps 23

Great home, warm and welcoming!! Hosts were great! Very attentive, enjoyed meeting Lisa. Plenty of room for our gathering, accommodations were excellent!

House is awesome plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms lots of antique furniture and books. Kitchen loaded with all u need .

The house is extremely well supplied. We are a cooking family, and the kitchen had everything. Beyond the kitchen there were toy boxes, toy musical instruments, games for adults and kids - everything you could want. It feels like a real home, not a ski lodge.

Villa Favorita (named by the wife of an earlier owner) is an elegant, 11-BR turn-of-the-20th-century Victorian mansion on 25 wooded acres. It was perfect for our remembrance family reunion, with 16 of us staying in the house. The capstone of the reunion was an outdoor lunch for 33 of us. The house has plenty of character and a bit of funk. All appliances worked well, kitchen is updated and extremely well equipped, there is a spare refrigerator/freezer in the basement, which proved most helpful. We rented tables, chairs, dishes, and created an outdoor setting that wowed and pleased everyone. Excellent photo backdrops abound. And there were no flying insects at all!All involved were wonderful, efficient, accommodating - the two owner-brothers (one living in another house on the property and managing the site), and the caretaker - from whom we bought fresh laid eggs. There were toys galore for the younger set, and a music room with a well-tuned piano and guitars. Our only regret: we did not have time to enjoy the above ground pool and hike the paths through the property. And oh, very convenient to Stockbridge, Lee, and Great Barrington for all our grocery, baked needs - with excellent quality.We could not imagine finding a better - and well priced - location for a family reunion.

This was a perfect stay for our group. The house and area were lovely and our hosts were courteous. Loved and and will be looking to book again for future events.

We stayed in Villa Favorita for a large 40th birthday celebration. We comfortably fit 15 adults for a multi-night stay as well as hosting the chef and team we brought in for a catered dinner. The house is well equipped for large celebrations with plenty of sleeping space and plenty of communal space and seating. Ben and Lisa on site were helpful with any needs we had while we were there and Dan was extremely communicative and helpful via chat during the planning stages. If you and your friends or family are looking for a cozy Berkshires retreat this is a great option.

Between children and adults we were close to 30 for our annual Thanksgiving reunion. We are a group that enjoys cooking and catching up while doing meal prep. We usually bring a lot of our own kitchen equipment, plates and silverware. This year we could have left most of it home. This kitchen was the best equipped and supplied of any we have ever rented on VRBO by far. But it was more than just the kitchen that was well supplied. It was the whole house! Ben, the host’s brother, grew up in the house and lives next door. Ben answered any questions and shared family lore. The Northrup family still gets together in the house for Christmas holidays. From the artwork on the walls (painted by the Northrup family matriarch) to the many objects on the shelves and in the drawers, one has the warm feeling of sharing the residence of an old family friend. While the website photos are accurate, we were surprised at how large the rooms actually are. In fact the whole house exceeded our expectations.

More charm at this property then you can see on the listing. It exceeded our expectations for a small family reunion! Highly recommend!!

We fell in love with Villa Favorite the second we drove onto the property, and that was just the beginning. Everything was perfect for our big, eclectic group -- the bedrooms, the many bathrooms, the kitchen, the eating spaces, the little pool, the swings, the tether ball, the porches.... The hosts were wonderful as well. We will be back for sure!

This experience was the best we could have asked for to have our family all together to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday! Dan, Lisa and Ben were all extremely kind, considerate and helpful. The house was absolutely gorgeous with so much space for all of us and our activities! I certainly hope we have another opportunity to stay at this beautiful Villa!
