Our three families, including several kids, loved the variety of games available—there was never a dull moment! The location is amazing, with plenty of nearby activities and attractions. We highly recommend Casa Mia for anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Can't wait to come back!"”
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!”

Beautiful house and property, great location. The house was even better than the pictures. I would definitely stay here again.
Lovely stay on the lake. The house had all we needed. The four paddle boards were a great bonus. All went smoothly.
The property I think was even more beautiful than the photos! LOVED this house and lawn, screened in porch etc. host was super responsive and very easy to communicate with
Really a great place to stay for a family gathering. This was a beautiful old house with plenty of space to gather and converse or find a quiet spot. The rear yard is fantastic for lawn games. A gem!
Such a beautiful, charming house in a quiet neighborhood. Easy access to downtown Great Barrington. My family thought it was one of the nicest houses we have rented. Every evening, we spent lots of time on the screened front porch enjoying board games, reading or catching up. The house is thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. We will return!!
When we first checked in and opened the front door, somehow the handle fell off from the inside. We called the caretaker and within the hour he was there to fix the problem. Other than that, everything was perfect from beginning to end for the entire weekend. We loved the house, the backyard, the game room, etc.
Quiet . Peaceful . Lake is beautiful and nice large bass .
Beautiful house, great for a large family or two smaller families! Great location! Hope to be back again next year!
The house had everything we needed and wanted. Would definitely stay there again!!
The lakeside home was refreshing for my mother, sister, my kids, and her children to stay in the Berkshires. It is very clean and homey. Two bedrooms are small/ not much walking space, so it is best to have only one large suitcase in those rooms or one small one. Stairs going up are narrow, so only good for older children and able bodied adults. My mother stayed in the first floor bedroom, which was perfectly suited for her. It was great to have access to kayaks and swimming mats. The views of the lake are very beautiful and the water was warm for swimming at the end of June.
