It was everything we imagined it would be; Jodi was lovely. The place was clean and bright, and so big, the donkeys were a joy to meet, the location is the very center of the Berkshires, north and south!

Perfect Stay for Tanglewood visit

Apartment was clean, bright with comfortable beds. Great location for Berkshires visit, close to Tanglewood and all places fun. Only drawback for us (me and two college friends) was that we brought food for breakfasts and it’s not set up for eating in. No sink in the small kitchen so paper plates and plastic utensils are provided. Small but useful refrigerator. Only a microwave. Small coffee maker but Jodi nicely provided lots of coffee so we weren’t ornery in the morning! Brought in picnic food and ate in the backyard and watched the donkeys! Make sure you make dinner reservations well in advance in the summer. Also had a fun day in Great Barrington with theater!

Great spot in Lenox

We enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean and we appreciated that! There is an outdoor swing that was a good spot for reading or watching the fireflies at night. The space itself could use a few extra lamps and side tables—minor upgrades, but it overall was a great place to land while exploring the Berkshires. Recommend!

Comfortable, bucolic hang-out

We so enjoyed our stay at the historic farmhouse. Jodi and Tim greeted us very warmly, lent us a guitar, and helped us find things to do in the area. The location is quiet other than the occasional bray of one of the adorable rescue donkeys. The upstairs floor where we stayed had everything we needed and pretty views. It was an easy drive to Tanglewood, Shakespeare and Co., nice restaurants, and hiking. We hope to be back soon!

Good sleep, beautiful property, adorable donkeys

My husband and I were visiting Kripalu, but signed up late for the workshop and all the rooms were full. We needed a place basically to rest our heads so we weren’t on the property The bed was comfortable and we both slept well. I do bring my own pillow everywhere so I can’t comment on the pillows, but the mattress was comfortable. There was also a gallon of water in the fridge, which was very helpful and I forgot my soap, but found body soap in the shower. Jodi is extremely friendly and introduced me to the adorable donkeys. Easy stay, reasonably priced, clean, convenient, with beautifully maintained grounds. I would stay again.

Excellent hosts and location!

My family and I had a great time staying here for a couple of nights. Jodi and Tim were fantastic and available whenever needed. The apartment was cozy and comfortable and there were extra touches that made us feel welcome. The kids especially enjoyed watching the rescue donkeys from the window. Overall it was a wonderful stay.
