We loved the house and it's quintessential New England charm. The exposed post and beam construction and wide pine floors throughout the house are such a cool addition to complete the look. Rebecca and Mike were perfectly engaging, yet were very aware that there are lots of things to do, so they would get on with the many tasks of the farm, so you could get your adventure started. Greg and I loved the delicious breakfast and we felt like guests at really nice restaurant, because Rebecca took such good care of us. The house was easy to find, in the middle of the night, and we were able to arrive late after visiting MASS MaMO because we were greeted with a personal greeting at the front door and instructions for our delicious breakfast the next morning. Thank you again, you made our weekend!

Rebecca has a lovely inn in beautiful surroundings. I arrived really late the first night of my stay and she made it super easy to get into my room. She was ready in the morning with home cooked breakfast (with eggs from her own chickens!). She came in to chat with us at breakfast and by the end of my stay I felt like I was leaving a friend's house. I definitely recommend this accommodation and plan to stay there again.

My stay with Rebecca was great! She is warm and welcoming. The property is beautiful and the accommodations were lovely. Home cooked breakfast was really special and great for getting back on the road. Will certainly stay again!

We were enchanted by this country house and setting. We had a perfect weekend at The Maple House. Rebecca and her family were gracious hosts. Imagine how lovely waking up to a beautiful serene field with sheep in the backyard. We took an early morning walk along the country road with NO cars and gorgeous montain views. At night we warmed ourselves up from the fall chill with a lovely fire in one of the comfy common rooms. We started off the day with the aroma of coffee and then Rebecca servered outstanding warm breakfasts in the diningroom each day with fresh seasonal fruit and delicious recipes. If you are looking for a quiet place off the beaten path and yet close to all western Ma has to offer...hiking, water sports, winter activities, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back soon.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had the most wonderful stay! Rebecca was so helpful and gracious, arranging a great room for us last minute while attending a festival in N Adams. Everything was immaculate, and beds/linens so soft, we slept great! And we really lived our fresh cooked breakfast and lazy time on a rainy Sunday. Even had time to stroll the grounds a bit, see the chickens and sheep...and relax and swing in the hammock. We will definitely be back! Thank you. Highly recommended for this area. (Only helpful note to guests....we had no cell phone reception, but wifi was really strong to use our phone apps.)

Absolutely beautiful surroundings, wonderful hosts, awesome breakfast and beautiful room! Perfect! Will definitely return and recommend. Thanks. J.

This was a perfect AirBnb experience for us. I only search for places with a real breakfast included and this was the real thing. There's nothing like a hearty home cooked meal early in the morning. Rebecca herself prepares a large choice of healthy home cooking that was so delicious. Local sourced fresh seasonal great food. So worth the price.

My mother and I had a very good stay at Bayard, who was an incredibly caring host. He took such time to run us up to a secret "lookout point" from which there was a great view and there was a bit cold in the apartment, he loaned us as just a heater from the neighbor. The house itself is an experience in itself, as it is an old school full of patina and fun furniture. It is in a really beautiful area close to places like Mt. Greylock and Mass Moca, so there is something to do on both rainy and sunny days. And then we can only recommend to come here in the fall and see Fall Foliage - it is nothing less than stunning. And well, so he makes really delicious breakfast!

The Dryway Inn is a fantastic converted school house in the sleepy little town of Monroe. Bayard was waiting for us when we arrived to show us the house and give us a few pointers about the town. There is a wonderful little bar across the street, "The Depot Tavern", where we spent our first night trading beers and shots with some of the friendly locals. The next day we ate a nice little brunch in the small Vermont town just 5 miles north up the road, then went 5 miles south to buy some tubes and go tubing down the beautiful Deerfield River. We also drove into town (North Adams) to spend a couple hours at Mass MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art), grab a bite and watch the sun set over the mountains from the second floor of the hilariously kitschy "Golden Eagle Restaurant and Lounge", located on the hairpin turn up the mountain. Next time we plan on doing a little kayaking and zip-lining. The cell phone reception is a little spotty, but that's okay, it was nice to have our heads out of our phones and focused on exploring the abundance of wildlife and nature surrounding us. Bayard is a wonderful host with a great sense of humor and and a head full of interesting knowledge about the area. He made our stay comfortable and relaxed. He's also a hell of a cook. We'll be back for sure.

It's unfortunate that 6 stars aren't possible Insanely cool place, in a quiet slightly out of the way gorgeous setting. We stayed for the 2 nights of 3 day Mass MOCA event, Fresh Grass music fest, happy to be out of town, but close enough for easy access. Bayard was beyond gracious and accommodating, cooked a lovely breakfast, and we met some super cool folks also going to the music. The place is a crazy good deal. We will be back!

Great experience at Bayard's place – peaceful, relaxing place, cozy atmosphere, delicious breakfast, and a host we enjoyed interacting with. We will come again!

One of the best Airbnb experiences I have had! Friendly host and a delicious breakfast. Cool cats. Bayard even took us to a scenic outlook of Bear Swamp and the surrounding mountains.

The Rowe Center was absolutely wonderful. The area around is very serene and beautiful. There is a lake nearby and a lot of trails through the woods for pleasant walks and hikes. Check-in was easy. The room was very pleasant. All the necessary amenities were present. Mind that cell service in the area is spotty, so print the instructions on how to find a place beforehand.

Great place, easy to find, great location, close to town and some great fishing. Just as described.

We loved our stay at the Trout House! The house and property are exactly as pictured and the area is quiet and secluded. The outdoor deck is the perfect place to have a quiet breakfast listening to the birds. MaryAnn is a wonderful host only a text away. We plan on returning next year!

All I can do is echo what all the other reviewers said. The place is terrific--a real bargain--and Mary Ann was kind of gracious. She indeed had lovely little snacks waiting for us upon arrival. The house is off the (infrequently-traveled) road far enough that you have trees on all sides. The interior is clean and comfortable. The whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable.

Fantastic hideaway in Western Mass. Mary Ann and Rob were exceptional hosts. House was clean and inviting. Highly recommend a stay here if exploring the Berkshires.

Everything was even better than listed. Mary Ann and her Husband were great, their place is heaven. we had such a wonderful three nights there and plan on returning soon.

From the get-go, Mary Ann was very clear about the Trout House. How to get there, lack of cell signal, etc. It is, as described, in a beautiful private setting. The house was well appointed. We were three 60-ish women, and each had our own bed (the couch unfolds into a bed). There is a lovely deck that, had the weather been warmer, would have been perfect for early a.m. coffee or late afternoon glass of wine. The house was clean when we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with ample dishes, pots, pans, etc. The furnace heated up the small space very quickly. The location is convenient to North Adams and Williamstown, as well as Greenfield.

This is a beautiful secluded location where we were able to unplug from the world for a few days. Mass MOCA was an easy drive out, as was dinner in Shelburne Falls. These accommodations were clean, welcoming, and well-provisioned. Beautiful views of nature welcomed through every window, and the feeling of being "away from it all" was delightful.

The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Happy Hill Farm is a lovely retreat that afforded us a good home base for the Franklin County Cider Days. The old farm house is charming and spacious with an exceptionally well appointed kitchen (both equipment & food staples). While the house is rustic and somewhat of a work in progress; the heat, wifi, kitchen have all been nicely updated. The place is especially great for families, with the well-stocked play room and ample space to play and run outside. Until the bathrooms are renovated, larger groups should know there is only one shower (and also a separate tub) between the two bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay and Tara was extremely responsive and communicative both in advance of and during our visit.

Tara's house is perfect for a quiet, romantic weekend getaway. Amazing sunrises and sunsets over beautiful scenery, and easy access to Berkshire East. Our dogs loved it too!

Amazing views, especially of the stars.

The place was just idyllic. The setting was secluded and quiet, surrounded by meadows. Tara was responsive and thoughtful as a host. We look forward to hopefully coming back!

This secluded treasure is one of my favorite airbnbs! Tara is the best and the house is a great place to feel connected to the outdoors, especially in a snowstorm!

Great ski out post with plenty of privacy and peace and quiet

Had a great time.

Historic farmhouse with loads of charm in a beautiful country setting. Bring the games, books, and hiking boots. It was perfect for our snowshoeing retreat. Tara is a great host and very accommodating when we changed our dates three times!

Fabulous. A beautiful spot that feels both remote and close. Easy drive to Wilmington. Excellent kitchen set-up, great linens/towels, comfy beds. A great opportunity to support a historical property without sacrificing amenities. Kelly was easy to work with. Enjoy!

The Amos Brown House was a perfect destination for my parents and my wife to get away from the city. The property is gorgeous, with over 30 acres of trails and fields. We really enjoyed the rustic feel of the house and adjacent barn, but we felt comfortable there the entire time, with cozy beds, sitting areas, and plenty of cooking utensils. There's wi-fi to keep you connected as needed, but, without a TV, you're actually forced to sit around and talk with one another, play games, or walk the land. Not a bad way to get away from it all! We'll definitely be back.

We had such a great time at The Amos Brown House! The location was perfect. It was very close to mt snow which was where we went skiing one day and not far at all from some convenience stores. The house was just perfect for 6 of us and one infant. They also provided a crib and high chair for my 7 month old daughter. Even my 17 year old teenage son and his friend enjoyed staying at this old historical home. The home included wifi and everything we might need to cook. It was extremely clean and well taken care of. Can't wait to visit again one day soon!!

Our host Kelly was very responsive to all my questions by email or text before we arrived. It was the middle of winter, and I just wanted to know how the roads were kept, nearest gas station, etc. When we arrived, it was just like she said. It was clean and cozy, with plenty of space for six people and two dogs! The grounds were great to take the dogs out on. I stayed home while the others skied at nearby Mt Snow. I also took a day trip to Brattleboro which was about 45 minutes away. We all enjoyed reading up on the history of the house and reading the guest log book. My only regret is that we forgot to sign it! We all enjoyed an offline winter vacation and highly recommend this airbnb!

The Amos Brown farmhouse is a gorgeous building on some beautiful property. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away for a while!

Wonderful property, well taken care of and preserved. We rent frequently through the summer & this property goes to the top of our list. Beds are firm with new mattress, hotel quality linens and towels. Barn buildings well maintained and clean felt comfortable allowing kids to explore with a few guidelines. They loved pingpong table in the last room of barn. Great experience and looking forward to returning. Only thing we missed was a microwave(URL HIDDEN)

Everything was set up perfectly and ready to go- super easy when we arrived in the evening. The house is so charming and the property is stunning! We loved every minute of it.

Beautiful historic home we had a wonderful time!

This is a gorgeous house set near the base of Berkshire East. Very easy to find as I drove along Rt. 2. The house has plenty of parking around it and there is a gas station just down the road. I didn't find another gas station till North Adams, so this was particularly welcome! The entire house has a great rustic feel, with a beautiful bed room with A/C and a fan. The common areas are the same - a large shared bathroom which has the washer/dryer, and a great kitchen with access to the fridge and microwave and complimentary coffee. The TV room has a collection of DVDs and a great sofa. Thankfully there is wifi, as I had difficulty getting reception in the Charlemont area. Melody was great at communicating and was on hand when I arrived to show me around the place.

We had a great stay at Hawk Mountain Lodge! The location was perfect for a family ski trip to Berkshire East. The host was very accommodating and helped make our trip a memorable one.

I brought two teenagers to stay at the Hawk Mountain Lodge for a quick snowboarding weekend. The space was clean and well-kept, the beds were very comfortable, and it is a quiet peaceful area minutes away from Berkshire East. Convenience store and restaurant (with very good food!) a quick walk away. Bruce and Philip were extremely responsive and helpful.

We stayed at Bruce's place for retreat for our college living community of 14 and it was a very nice bonding experience. The house is cozy, and there's a pizzeria next to the house which solves the dinner issue as the house doesn't have a kitchen. The bedrooms are all very nice and Bruce is very helpful answering our questions. Charlemont is also very close to shelburne falls which is definitely worth a visit!

I brought my team of college ski racers to the Hawk Mountain Lodge for a race, and we had a great time. We fit all 12 athletes easily, and Bruce and Lodge Manager Philip were extremely accommodating. The let us use extra space in a nearby building called the "zip building" for tuning skis and making a team dinner with a few parents. I would definitely recommend the Lodge and it's great hospitality!

Hosts were very friendly, but our original accommodation was double booked so I cannot comment on the Hawk Mountain Lodge property.

Perfect room for 4 with the biggest back yard I've ever experienced with an air BNB. Great restaurant steps away for breakfast.

Nice place with plenty of sleeping. The host was very accommodating and friendly. There is no kitchen so be prepared to eat out.

As a city dwelling couple looking for a weekend stay in the country, we had a fantastic stay at Kim's place. The location is beautiful and set in a wooded area, the rooms are as described (not for people who dislike stairs) and were super comfortable for us. There is a tree-house like charm to the guest rooms. Kim is a wonderful host, and provided us with everything we need, making us feel very much at home. She even went out of her way to arrange breakfast for us since we arrived late night the previous day. She is also very knowledgeable about the area, and will happily suggest the best spots to hike, eat or whatever activity it is that you are looking for. We will definitely recommend this to anyone we know. If we are travelling to this area again, we would love to come back here.

Great place! Super cool, unique tree-top bedroom with a sitting room below. Kim (host) is wonderful -- polite, friendly without overdoing it. She is very knowledgable about the area. Tons to do locally-- North Adams 20-25 minutes away, music, tons of beautiful outdoor terrain to explore. Highly recommended! Not good for people with mobility issues as the rooms are at the top of winding stairs-- otherwise, though, one of the coolest places I have stayed.

This was a beautiful and charming home in a quiet, secluded historic neighborhood. For those looking to escape city life, this is the spot to check out! We had to work and be available during the weekend, so we had to spend most of our time in town "chasing" wifi and cell service.

Heather was a wonderful host. Her place is a real historic house, and it was like going back in time, except with running water, heat, a modern kitchen, and a comfortable bed. We had a wonderful visit with Heather, and she was super super helpful with providing us with insight into the area, and things to do on our trip to Vermont. We even suggested that she write a book ;)

Heather was an amazing host. She and her husband provided amazing recommendations for things to do in the area, and made our stay very comfortable and fun!

Heather was very flexible and communicated very promptly with us before we got there. Scott was very cordial and informative with local area tips and also gave us a "guided tour" of the local flora. Our room was very clean and the neighborhood safe and quaint. We enjoyed our morning conversation over coffee along with their four legged friend. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend it to anyone passing through the Berkshires.

Heather is a lovely host, the home and room were clean and beautiful.

The accommodations were lovely. The view from the living room is spectacular! Super clean and has everything-Full up to date kitchen, use of outdoor space including a gas grill. The neighborhood is beautiful and a short walk to a Lake Sadawga that has good fishing (according to two 14 year old boys). Short scenic drive to town of Wilmington and Lake Whitingham were there is plenty of water sports available. Host Ingrid and son Ralf were very helpful and warm. Definitely will plan to go back.

We had a great time at this beautiful place. Ingrid was a great host and made us feel right at home. Great place to get away and refresh your mind. Had everything we need it. I will definitely come back to this place, cant get enough of that view!!!

As most others have stated; Ingrid was a wonderful host. She came to us once we were within a few miles of the house, we were tired after a long 7 hour drive as it can be a bit hard to find until you get used to the area. Overall it was an Awesome experience for our whole family; incredibly beautiful view(s) and location. We all felt so relaxed and comfortable. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone and everyone.

We went here for the 4th of July weekend. The coordination was very easy with Ingrid. She had no problem with us arriving late, she left the door open for us. There was a brand new bbq that we could use and Ingrid had all types of accessories for it. The fireplace was so relaxing, and needed at night even though it was summer! The house is in the middle of nowhere, perfect place to relax but also a lot of things to see in the surroundings.

Ingrid was very flexible with our arrival time, which was great because we were running very late. She was very welcoming and helped us get settled quickly with 2 tired kids. The apartment was perfect for us, plenty of room in the master bedroom for our port-a-crib and a separate bedroom for our older daughter, plus a lovely living room (with crackling fire) for my husband and I after the kids were in bed. She has an amazing view and our daughter enjoyed exploring the backyard. All in all a fantastic spot for our family with a very gracious host!

Ingrid and her son Ralf were really communicative before we arrived. We loved the location, the yard and its view, and having a kitchen. The nearby lakes and hiking spots were so convenient, and we made it to nearby Brattleboro as well. We had a great time and would definitely come back again!

We had an amazing stay! For general knowledge, the host is Ingrid - she is Ralf's mother. Ralph arranges all rentals and is super responsive, helpful and communicative. Ingrid is a great host. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. The place is cozy and have a wintery feel, with a fireplace and all. But the most amazing thing about it is the view which is breathtaking. Master bedroom is big and the smaller room is darker and has a window to the garage but we were comfortable in it. Kitchen is well equipped - make sure you shop before you come, as you will need the essentials. There's wifi in the house but otherwise there's no reception at all! how wonderful! :D Outstanding stay and we would love to come stay again!

Ralf and Ingrid keep this place neat, cozy and wonderfully equipped. Communication between us was simple and clear and we had no trouble at all finding the place. The area is beautiful, with gorgeous views from the living room. Having a fire stove was great!

Marcia was very sweet and accommodating. So glad we found this little gem. Thanks for having us!

marcia was great! her staff made sure there would be someone around to check us in when we thought we would be arriving after 10pm. the room and bathrooms were clean and accommodated us perfectly for the night!

Marcia was wonderful! This is a lovely place to stay and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were snowboarding at Mount Snow. It was an easy drive to and from the Inn and the mountain. The restaurants below the Inn are delicious. Staff at the Inn are very nice and hospitable. We highly recommend this Inn!

We had a nice night at the inn. We had a long night of driving and we're looking for a place to rest before we hit the road again in the morning. It was perfect. We got to enjoy a beer at the bar before heading up to the room for a great night of sleep.

The place is excellent. The rooms are clean and cozy. Though the bathrooms were shared but still it was extremely clean. The host Marcia and her people are simply awesome. Their restaurant serves super food especially Chicken Parmesan which has been the star of the day. The food was really good and cheap. Its a very good place to stay and enjoy a serene life. You will not have any cell phone coverage there..but inn has its own wifi.

Marcia was very nice and went out of her way to accommodate our family. It is a traditional inn with shared bathrooms that were nice and clean. We arrived late in the evening so had already eaten dinner but the restaurant is a nice plus and I would recommend the blueberry ice cream. The location was convenient and it was great value.

Marcia was very responsive during the booking process, taking into account our family's needs. Upon arrival Marcia was supremely accommodating and generous. The space is a classic old inn; Small rooms and shared bathrooms; I've stayed in a few such places and this is my favorite. All was very, very neat and clean, and the inn is in great repair. The downstairs restaurant/bar was closed per their normal weekly schedule while we were there, which was a bummer. Speaking of which, if you are arriving on a day the restaurant/bar is closed, call ahead from someplace you have cell signal to arrange a check-in time, otherwise you may arrive and find the place locked, and find your carrier doesn't have coverage in Readsboro! I'd happily stay here again if I was passing through on another road-trip.

Marcia's AirBnB rooms are great for a night or two's stay nearby a bunch of great mountains. The perfect spot for us so we could get a good night's sleep and get to Mt. Snow early.

The place was great. Ben sent us all the info we needed. Very hands off so it felt like we were the only ones there. Quick with all communication. Place was very clean and well stocked.

Our experience was great! Ben welcomed us upon arrival and made sure we were setup to have an awesome weekend, and the unit was as described. There was a nice large lawn for us to use, a fire pit (Ben let us use the wood he had stacked), and porch complete with grill and chiminea. I'd stay here without hesitation next time I'm in the area.

Beautiful, secluded location (with easy access from Rt. 2, though). Nicely appointed rental. Very responsive and friendly host!

Great stay! The apartment was exactly as described and immaculately clean, great deck, fire pit, beautiful area. We will definitely book again when in the area.

Ben's place was fantastic. It is in such a beautiful location, and the place was clean and accommodating. Ben was also incredibly attentive to anything we needed, but gave us plenty of solitude otherwise. This is also a great place to bring a dog, and ours absolutely loved the area. No hesitations to stay here again.

The house is located in a beautiful area surrounded by trees and a creek runs right by it. The property is really beautiful, the kitchen is fully equipped and the apartment is very clean and cozy. The pictures and description are very accurate. Ben was quick to respond when we had questions and he was very cordial. We had a great weekend stay at Ben's and we would definitely stay again at his place!

After hiking up Mt. Greylock on Thanksgiving day, we were able to come back to a wonderful place to enjoy dinner and time with our children. Ben was very welcoming and hospitable. A great place to stay.

Ben's place was great! Beautiful location near Berkshire East ski mountain tucked away nicely in the woods. It had everything that we needed, very comfortable beds, plenty of space, all of the kitchenware, linens, etc. that we needed. We took advantage of the mountain coaster about a minute up the road at Berkshire East and had a blast! Also the Deerfield river is near by and we were able to take advantage of the access and go kayaking! Great place, just as described, perfect, quiet getaway with great access to outdoor recreation.

Great, secluded location! Perfect for skiing at Mt. Snow and Stratton for the weekend.

Apt. was as advertized. Very clean.

Nice and clean.

Great cozy apartment. My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The communication was terrific.

The apt. is adorable. My wife and I had a great experience. The communication between Pamela and us was amazing. The apt. was clean and cozy. We will definately stay here again when we are in the area. The apt. is much nicer in person than the pictures show!!

Amazing. Cozy and beautiful.

As advertised, super clean, cozy and very convenient to Berkshire East Ski Resort. Food nearby, great place and great communication.

This apartment was perfect! The furniture was brand new and the place was immaculate. You can really tell that Pam and Mike care about their property and about their guests. All questions were answered right away and they even suggested a cute little restaurant in Shelburne Falls for dinner (which was delicious!) The apartment has a kitchen with all the cookware that a guest could need and if I had stayed longer than one night it would have come in handy! When I woke up and looked out the window I could see a river right across the street. It was a great way to enjoy a cup of coffee! I will definitely be returning to this clean, cozy, and friendly place. Thanks for the great stay!

Nice and clean, just as advertised. Will be use this place again

Rowe is beautiful. The house has a charming old New England feel to it and conveniently located near Rowe Camp and Conference Center. My favorite part of the house was the sun room which has a fire place in it. It was lovely to sit and relax by the fire.

Rebecca and her family were very welcoming and their home is lovely. My 7 yr old son, my husband, and I had such a great time. The breakfast was hearty and beautifully presented. Rebecca's care and effort in this and all details could be felt. The house was full of interesting books and games that kept us happily busy for the two nights we decided to stay in. Add to that, Rowe is a beautiful place and Maple House is just a short hike from a lake where there is boating and miles of trails. Oh, and it's important to add what may have been our favorite part of the whole adventure - their dog, Jolie! We're not even dog people so much and Jolie completely won us over with her amazing ball catching skills and generally super polite friendliness. Sit on the chair outside with a cup of tea and throw sticks for the dog - then you'll know what life is all about. AH, AND - it's a bargain. Thank you for that, also. But, possible

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Rebecca was a great host, and the room and grounds were clean and beautiful. Lovely surrounding area if you're looking to truly see the mountains and get out of town. Breakfast is large and delicious... real care put into it, and it shows. Highly Recommended!

Rebecca is a terrific host. Her breakfasts are amazing and she is most responsive to any requests or questions. I will surely stay with Rebecca again.

We had a great time at Rebecca's place. The breakfast was otherworldly, providing us with energy to explore the amazing surroundings. We swam several times in the nearby lake, went hiking, visited nearby villages, and the MassMOCA, our reason to come to the area in the first place. The house is beautifully located, with great views of meadows and tree crowns. Quiet nights with perfect views of the stars.

Bayard's building is lovely and full of awesome character/history. He was a wonderful host and made us a delicious breakfast!

Very friendly, hospitable. Place is undergoing renovation, which unfortunately means a lot of dust. Photos are outdated. Room had individual temperature control which was a perk. No/limited cell service means you may not hear back from host. Host either lives in building or stays there during your stay - offers a key which makes coming and going convenient and secure.

Bayard was very accommodating to our late arrival and also during our stay. We brought a large dog with us and it worked out very well. We loved that Bayard is renovating this old schoolhouse. The town of Monroe is very quiet, but is perfect for relaxation and close to outdoor activities.

The hospitality Bayard provided was really comforting. The schools location is only a walks away from Kayaking and a short drive to North Adams. The location also has some really stunning scenery.

Bayard is a great host. He was welcoming us in front of a door, even we arrived at late night! There is many extra bed, I went there with 3peoples but we could sleep in the same room. there is 2 cute cats and the house is clean and made us feel at home! He provide us breakfast and we really enjoyed that. There is no Wifi and no can't use T-mobile and H2O, but it's still good since the house located really beautiful country side.

Bayard is an amazing host. He and his lovely kitties went out of their way to make me feel at home while I was in class near by. The area is spectacular and I slept so well cradled in the sound of the nearby river. The schoolhouse is funky and awesome! Bayard is doing amazing work renovating the building and it's a lot of fun to be there. The town itself is very sleepy and quiet, absolutely conducive to rest and relaxation. There is no wifi, and there is little to no cell phone service depending on your carrier, but I found that to be refreshing. The room I stayed in was well appointed and comfortable. The bed was very easy to sleep in and the view of the lawn and trees from the window were sweet to wake up to. Being greeted every morning with a wonderful breakfast was delightful. You must try Bayard's homemade cinnamon raisin bread - out of this world! The views as you drive down the River road to get to Bayard's are spectacular. I think even if you didn't have other business in this area, you would be well served to escape to the schoolhouse just to leave the hustle and bustle behind and relax into a quieter, sweeter pace. If you are a kayaker or other river-sport enthusiast, this spot would be the perfect place to have as your home base as you explore the river area. I'll definitely be returning to this home to stay in the future!

Bayard's place is really lovely. There's so much character in the schoolhouse and it's going to be an amazing space when he's completed the renovations. The upstairs is currently being worked on, but that truly didn't impede on my comfort or enjoyment during my stay. Bayard is fully accommodating and truly friendly. His two cats and dog are delights as well. This is an excellent recommendation if you're looking to experience a very small town, but still want to be close enough to enjoy North Adams and surrounding areas. I had an excellent stay and I intend to return on a future visit! Thanks again!

Bayard went above and beyond to make our trip to western Mass a pleasant one. This is a great place to stay if you are going to an event or planning on going to Mass MOCA (about 30 min away). His responses to our questions were quick and it seems like he his bringing some real positive life energy back into the sleepy town of Monroe - the renovated schoolhouse, while still a work in progress, was comfortable and unique. The homemade breakfast and the conversations we had were worth the price of admission one. For those with families, Bayard was very accommodating (and patient). We're looking forward to making it back sometime soon.
