We love Konkapot Cottage. Our hosts have done everything possible to make the stay memorable. We enjoy every minute of our visit. It is without question our favorite place in the Berkshire’s.
Beautiful property with immaculate detail to making sure our stay was comfortable and peaceful. So grateful to have come across this gem of a property!
A beautiful property - the grounds and the house. Warm and welcoming. The house felt like a home not a rental property. It is well cared for, comfortable, with everything you need. We loved staying there! Liz is an attentive host, always responsive to my questions by text. Though we never met her, her care and thoughtfulness were present. The moment I stepped into the house I knew our family would be happy there.
Liz’s house is such a gem. It feels like a real Home, not a rental property. It’s stocked with everything and the furnishing and details are tasteful and inviting. The property is stunning and Liz was responsive and attentive. This was one of our favorite homes to stay in.
This house is well appointed for guests. There is a river running along the back of the property with a cute beach set up. We ran and took walks daily. It was a very relaxing stay.
This is, by far, the best VRBO I’ve had consistently. This was our 3rd stay. The house is comfortable and well appointed with a well equipped kitchen. The property itself is a show stopper. Sweeping meadows, a riverside beach and beautiful trails for walking. The hostess is fantastic with excellent communication and kindness. We will definitely be back!
Liz has thought of everything! After getting in late, we so appreciated having coffee, tea, milk, butter, juice, English muffins, and jam waiting and ready for us in the morning. We were excited to hear coyotes partying in the field by the river that night and set out the next day to explore the paths where they were. The kitchen is truly fully stocked with equipment for those who like to cook, and although I didn’t wind up cooking a lot because the nearby restaurants are fabulous, I could have easily cooked up a storm. The beds are super comfy, and the soaking tub was a treat to decompress in after my son’s weekend wedding. Highly recommended!
The house and grounds are beautiful and in top notch condition. Located on a quiet road in the Berkshires it is conveniently located with easy access to the Berkshires and Litchfield towns. The architect modernized farm house has everything needed for an excellent get away. We will surely return.
We needed an accessible vacation home and we found it here. Beautifully appointed, generally convenient to use, quiet and with a host who was most helpful and kind. For those who come to the western Berkshires in the summer months to take advantage of the outstanding arts and culture scene, this location requires extra driving time although driving through scenic farmland is always delightful.
This was our 2nd visit to this home. It is, by far, the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed. The home is luxurious and comfortable. The property is fantastic with beautiful walking trails and a riverside beach. Our almost 3yo granddaughter was comfortable and happy picking wild flowers in the fields, tossing stones in the river and watching a myriad of turkey, birds, and deer. We even saw a bear a couple of times. The host is amazing! We plan to return in the Fall.
The silence of nature is often overlooked. This house and settings are bucolic. I seriously could not have asked for more. Our host was amazing, there to help if anything is needed. A truly Wonderful experience.
