FARM-TO-TABLE eating, good hot tub soak, S'mores around fire pit, seasonal POOL!

We are pleased to once again offer our ever-popular home-away-from-home, fully-appointed, secluded guest apartment with full kitchen, laundry, and private entrance. Newly added: propane "wood" stove! Queen bedroom, king bed in large alcove off living room, and comfy (no kidding) double pull-out sofa in recently redecorated and enlarged LR. Fully stocked kitchen/DR combination with all appliances including dishwasher and microwave. Entrance is through a heated mudroom storage for skis, boots, and all manner of sports gear. Bathroom with double shower, washer and dryer. Large closets, cable TV, DVD, CD stereo. Fenced in brick courtyard for outdoor grilling / dining and just-added private fire pit around the corner next to the newly-installed deck for hot tub. Large yard, POOL in season. Second apartment available for additional guests.

Convenient to Williamstown, MA (6 miles) and to Bennington, VT (6 miles); both with scores of recreational, entertainment, culinary, and cultural venues. Many agri-tourism opportunities, farm-to-table dining, world class art galleries and cultural venues, superb hiking and river rafting and boating, top drawer theater festival, and regional theater, an authentic drive-in theater AND a destination diner.

Where else can you stay and choose to go to Saratoga Raceway one day, hear the Boston Symphony (or James Taylor) at Tanglewood the next, go white-water kayaking on the Battenkill after that, then see a Broadway touring company at Proctors one night and a first run production at the Williamstown Theater Festival the next, hike the AT the next day and maybe even the day after that (we have two access points), and then wrap it all up with a shopping spree at one of our premium outlet centers? There is so much to do here, if you spent the entire summer, you couldn't do it all.

Dog permitted under most circumstances. Please request the Doggie Dos and Don'ts and tell us something about your pet!

The rental was adequate but the kitchen was older, despite the cabinets being painted and the hardware being replaced. The appliances need replacing, including the coffee pot, and the seal around the kitchen sink had mildew, which made cooking unappealing. The hot tub was a nice addition, however, it snowed while we were there making the steps to get in and out slippery and very cold. Also, there is a rental unit above this ground floor unit, and if people walk on the floor late at night, which happened to us, you can hear their footsteps, which woke up our dog who felt protective of us. Primary bedroom was comfortable enough, but the second bed in the back of the unit was less comfortable. The nice part was that we could bring our dog and there was a grassy area right outside the door where you could walk her. The property is very close to the road so we kept her on leash the whole time, although if your dog is well trained, that may not be an issue. It’s adequate for a short stay to get away but probably not for a longer vacation.

The unit was large with plenty of room to move around. It's listed as a one bedroom, but it's one and a very large alcove with a king bed, so there's plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen is large. We did have to purchase some things to accommodate our eating. The temperature was great and the outside quite nice. Although there was a large hot tub, we didn't use it, but would have had we had more time. The only real problem we had was check in. But the communication with the property manager was good. Sandy is very friendly and helpful.

We were disappointed by the inaccurate website description—we were looking for a quiet and romantic weekend away and when we arrived, the amenities for which we chose the property were not as described. We (and the property manager who was doing our check-in) were unable to get in touch with the host. We contacted VRBO immediately upon arrival and they were also not able to contact the host. We elected not to stay the whole time (VRBO instructed us to stay the first night while they gave the host a window to respond, which they did not). After two weeks of VRBO getting no response from the host, VRBO issued us a refund. The specifics of what was not as described:1 - The listing includes a “private pool” and uses the word “secluded” to describe the pool. In reality, there is a second unit in the building that shares the pool. Their balcony looks directly into the pool. It is also located off the main road. Not private, not secluded. 2 - The listing included a hot tub. The property manager told us only hours before arrival that it was not working. We did see where it was located and even if it had been working, it did not have the views shown in the photos. The photos show beautiful mountain views from the hot tub, but instead it is tucked behind the house and the building itself blocks any view. I’m basing my review on what was posted at the time (hopefully it will be corrected). Otherwise it was clean, though you can hear the upstairs family very clearly.

My partner, puppy and I came up for a long weekend whilst attending a podcast festival in North Adams. Sandy, the property manager, was a total gem. We were spoiled with the most beautiful mid-October weather, but the energy/aesthetic of the Garden apartment was the cherry on top of an incredible weekend.

Basement apartment in the mountains

We were grateful to have this vrbo as a back up to our original vacation that was cancelled due to a hurricane. we booked in on a friday and checked in on a monday. it was a good size for our family of 6. however the ceilings were low and my husband is 6'3". the only bathroom had a small shower (definitely not good if you are a larger person) with no grip bars and was too slippery for my 70 yr old mother in law. the bathroom also created a lot of humidity as there was no window. however, there was a dehumidifier that we had to empty almost every day. no A/C in the back bedroom (near the bathroom)made it uncomfortable at night. However Sandy made our check in very simple and she even met us early. she was available via text and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. the pool was great but the trees near it created a little too much shade for us. otherwise it was a great little apartment that was 10-15 minutes away from shops and entertainment. great spot if you are looking to get away and have some peace and quiet.

Great place to stay

We got off to a rough start with what seemed to be a communication error between owner and manager, but the rest indoor stay was very nice. The unit wasn’t property prepared (not very clean) and despite really trying to be proactive on my end to avoid check-in issues we ended up arriving at 4 with no code to get in and no one to greet us. I called the owner and she took care of it, contacting the manager. Unfortunately, I was traveling with my 79 year old mother who had just endured 2 days of travel to get to her granddaughter’s graduation and it was hard in her. On a happier note, the property is great! I think it was just a communication error and that it was a rare occurrence.

Designed with host in mind

Pictures don’t really show it is right next to the highway. Or that you may be enjoying time in the living room when there are suddenly people able to see into your private area. Check in was a headache with additional fees buried in pages of paperwork and conditions. We felt rushed to get there on their timeline. To the user it feels like you’re requiring us to do a research project to lay our head down for two nights. And the fees felt like an upcharge sprung upon us. Fees should be built into the price structure so the price on the website is the price you pay. Forms should be requested through the app at time of check out. Guests should have one point of contact, not several who want different things. Overall we felt deeply annoyed and like we were walking on eggshell. The atmosphere was very uptight, there were all kinds of signs about what you must and must not do, but no signs saying “this is it”, “this way to hot tub,” and even though they advertise a heated pool, it was not open. I see the host’s responses to others regarding privacy but from the listing I too thought we were renting a small home off the beaten path. It’s the basement of a closed art gallery with another apartment above it and people in and out.

Good place for a weekend getaway

Property was clean and everything was as listed. Good value for the $ compared to other nearby places. We never received the information from the property owner re: code to get in, but when I called, she was very responsive and got the onsite manager there within minutes. Great location for activities in nearby Bennington, VT, as well as Williamstown and N. Adams, Mass.

Lovely property

We loved staying here! The place was spotless, comfortable and well stocked. There was a small issue with the lockbox when we arrived, but after a quick phone call Sandy arrived and all was well. The location is great - we visited both the Clark and MassMoca while we were there. Of course, it was wonderful to have the hot tub. The pool looked inviting, but the weather was too cold and damp for us to take advantage of it. Would happily stay here again.

Absolutely Wonderful!

This is going to be a bit of a weird review. We were supposed to stay here but the catastrophic VT rains left some dampness in part of the space so the owner upgraded us to the unexpectedly empty upstairs barn apartment. So first let me tell you what is the same: Hot tub and pool, delightful. Fire pit and huge lawn, wonderful. Easy access, right of the road and near great places in MA and VT but you could just hang out here and escape it all. The road is close but still very private. Owner is super nice and communicative and Sandy the manager is just fantastic. And if the downstairs is anything like the upstairs, just know that the pictures are exactly what you get so I would trust the downstairs is as perfect as the upstairs. If you are bringing pets, they were so nice and accommodating. The rules are crystal clear and they even laid out sheets so our dogs could sit on one of the sofas with us! We'd absolutely come again!
