From Yaki (Guest at Casa Mia) 
“"We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house is beautifully designed, spacious, and equipped with high-end amenities that made our experience truly enjoyable. 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!”

Better than the pictures. Perfect for family gathering for 50th anniversary celebration. Couldn’t be happier!
We loved this house—it was the perfect launching point for our Berkshires adventures. It's nice that it's so walkable to all the restaurants and shops. You don't need a car at all.
Really great home for our family of 6 adults. Loved the well-supplied kitchen and open floor plan. The view out the back is extraordinary and we enjoyed the nature- even though it rained the whole time we were there so didn't hang out outside. The listing suggests that there is a trail past the gate in the back but once through the gate we couldn't find a trail - perhaps it is seasonal? Close to the shops in town and grocery stores. Great stay.
Spent the weekend at Seventeen with extended family and it lived up to the listing. The kitchen is genuinely well-stocked, which we put to good use. Comfortable furniture, comfortable beds, and the layout handles a full house without feeling crowded. Easy walk to Buttonball for a night out, and a quick drive into Great Barrington for everything else.
This house is perfect for a large group! It’s set up for entertainment, both inside and out. Ending the day around the fire pit was the best, and the view from the hot tub was great! The only real con was the lack of privacy we had in the backyard due to landscapers working all day on Saturday.
Comfortable stay in excellent proximity to town.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this Great Barrington home located on Lake Buel! The home had a great, open concept layout which provided lots of interaction for the family. All beds were super comfortable. The house was clean and had all necessary amenities. There was plenty of outdoor seating both on the patio as well as near the water. We especially loved the view of the water and the access to the lake front. Communication with the property manager was timely and thorough. I would highly recommend this place!
BRP was super helpful, easy to communicate with, and house was clean and fresh. It was nice that coffee pods were there for us when we got there and the large TV was incredible! Everything was as it was in the listing and the mountain views were beautiful.<br/>I am eager to come back and highly recommend!
This is the perfect lake house! We will definitely be back!
We had a lovely girls weekend at this beautiful property. It is private and secluded, but only a short drive to the center of great Barrington, which has lots of cute shopping. Beds were comfortable, lots of great seating areas for us to hang out and catch up and kitchen was well stocked to be able to make meals. Directions for checking in and checking out were clear and concise with nothing over over the top. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future.
