We were here to visit granddaughter at Simon's Rock Bard college. This house was perfectly located on quiet street within walking distance of Simon's as well as downtown Great Barrington and was spotlessly clean. Large rec room/media room with gas fireplace accommodated our group very well. Main living room also very comfortable and as was the adjoining dining room adjacent to the kitchen. One large bathroom on main floor was well positioned and had plenty of towels and linens. Downstairs bedroom and closet bath offered good alternative space. Beds very comfortable memory foam types. WiFi worked well. Lovely outdoor deck but a bit too chilly to use on this trip. HVAC worked well. The only drawback to this house, at least for those who wish to cook for themselves, is a gas cooktop and oven with no hood or any kind of ventilation that we could see so we had to open windows when we cooked. That could be a problem in deeper winter months. The owner was very responsive to our questions.
My three sons, their wives, and two 3-year old grandchildren had a lovely week in the heart of the Berkshires. Room for everyone to spread out and the toddler cousins to play endless games of chase. The foosball table was a hit with the millennials and their children alike, although 3 year olds definitely have their own spin on the game. Just be aware that while itâs not far to downtown GB, itâs uphill on the way back so a bit more difficult than the way there (especially if pushing a stroller).
