I wasn't going to leave a review because overall it was a nice little getaway, but I keep getting reminders to leave one so I will. Let me first start off by saying the home itself is nice, clean, and spacious. I only met the wife/owner, but she was extremely welcoming and made sure we knew the "home was ours" for the weekend.
As for the location, the description does say it's private, however, I do feel that is a bit misleading because it is really on a main road with a driveway that's maybe 100-200 feet off the road. Sitting in the TV area you could see cars driving down the road. We could easily just have different ideas of private, but by the pictures it did look to be situated a bit further in the woods and no neighbors, or at least no neighbors nearby.
I would also suggest reading the entire description of the property because at the very end it does indicate that the owners live right downstairs. It is my own fault for somehow missing that part because I was a bit surprised when we arrived and she mentioned that. Now again, she was very clear that we were to make ourselves comfortable so nothing SHE said or did made us feel uncomfortable at all, and they did end up going away for the weekend, but until then it was difficult to get comfortable knowing we were right above them with dogs. My friendly suggestion to the owners would be to just make sure people are aware of this when booking, just as a second reminder even though it's in the description.
I really don't want this review to sound negative because the owners, home interior and location to other areas of the Berkshires were great. We were just looking for a little more privacy in both location of the property and having the house completely to ourselves.
