From Melanie (Guest at Conway House)
“"We had a family ski trip and stayed at the Conway House. We felt right at home. The site pictures matched the house, plus some. It was super clean with all the amenities you'd need. We had 7 guests all who felt roomy and comfortable. Outdoor grill and fire pit for smores. We plan to stay again for sure. Absolutely no complaints."”

“Dixon Cottage was a wonderful surprise! We didn’t expect to be so charmed and feel so cozy! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped, and we were able to access our favorite shows on the TV. PLUS the backyard was amazing! Views overlooking a farmer’s field with mountains in the background all the while sitting in Adirondack chairs over a fire pit. Honestly, the home surpassed our expectations and we’re looking forward to enjoying it again!”

Great communication, location, and loved the hot tub!
Working with Claudia was awesome. She was always quick to respond and extra helpful with a request that I had to have a package mailed from home to be delivered to her then she left it at the home for me with was so awesome. She sent me information on the area beforehand so we were ready to see the area. Lots of info on the kitchen table too. Great home, very walkable to the downtown area, clean, well stocked and such a lovely historic neighborhood especially with the fall colors. Thank you Claudia for such a great experience!
We loved our stay here! The home itself is very cozy and perfectly fit our 8 guests. We absolutely loved the location right on the lake, and Andrew was also very responsive when we needed something :)
We had the coziest stay. Our hosts were informative, proactive, and responsive. The property was beautiful and we had so much fun playing board games!
This was a perfect mountain getaway for us. We enjoyed the cottage, the lake, the paddle boards, the fire pit and the surrounding area. The house was beautifully clean and perfectly equipped! We would love to return!!
Beautiful home, great location, exactly like photos!
Amazing home in the perfect location. So much space for our entire family to relax. The home is beautiful and every detail is well thought out. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub as well. Perfect weekend getaway.
Four of us went up for a fall weekend getaway. We all really enjoyed the charm of the house. The house was well equipped with what we needed. The location was very convenient to the various Berkshire towns. We would definitely stay there again.
It’s better than the photos (cozy vintage feel ), well kept, great natural lighting. Bedrooms good black outs. Location is incredible 6 min walk to restaurants. House spacious. Host responsive and nice.
