Modern rustic house overlooking the Deerfield River

We enjoyed our stay here while we were here for a wedding. It was everything we needed for our time in Massachusetts

My cousin, Sarah's dad built this house so I know it well. I came with 2 of my grandchildren to explore family history, and the trip was a great success. I was sorry to miss seeing Sarah though.

What a beautiful setting and unique house. We very much enjoyed our stay and would return.

We enjoyed being able to open windows and the setting was relaxing. We saw a rafter of 8 turkeys and several deer. Perfect weather and the swimming hole, mentioned in the check in/out information is a must do!

We had planned to use the house as a base and spend most of our time exploring the area. The weather did not cooperate but the house was a perfect place to hang out while we waited for the rain to pass. A real gem!

This was our second year staying at the house. The house has a well stocked kitchen for cooking family meals and the views are just beautiful!

Vast 3-story high ceiling in main living/dining area. Third floor loft was way way up! (We couldn't figure out how to turn out the light up there...) Kitchen was well stocked. The library wall had a wonderfully eclectic selection of books. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the house because we were visiting family in the area, but it was very nice. Only drawback: the circular staircase to the second level was very narrow and quite steep (13 steps per floor, rather than the usual 14). A person with mobility problems would have a very hard time going up and down.

This is a average vacation home. But is over priced. Pluses Well stocked kitchen Beds are comfortable Location is good not great Not so good There is one shower master has no shower Upstairs has a tube w/no shower Over priced - 3 weeks ago we stayed down the street with same amenities for 1/2 the price. Needless to say that place is booked regularly.

What a wonderful home. The owners built this home for their family, and the thoughtfulness shows. There are cubbies next to the king size (thermapedic!) bed downstairs, for your glasses & water & phone & eye mask & book. There are bars in a few places (we called them “Grandpa’s bars” although we actually had no idea who they were for), and my wife was very grateful for the one next to the bed. The kitchen is well supplied. The bookcase is stocked with an amazing variety of books, including not only Goodnight Moon but also the 1911 Massachusetts State Documents for Charities & almshouses, which I might just scan in full when we return! It was a great place to stay with our adult son & his partner, who used the upstairs king bedroom. The third bedroom with 4 twin beds would be a dream room for a group of young cousins. My only warning is that you can only have 2 people who can’t do the spiral staircase. That was my wife & me, and we slept on the main floor. But our son was fine with the spiral staircase, and kids would be happy too!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is roomy and airy, minutes away from Shelburne Falls, Bridge of Flowers and the Trolley Museum. Not far from MassMoCA or the Clark too. Besides the rafting, kayaking, hiking and swimming, August is a good month for the various country fairs.
