We chose the stone school cottage as a base to pick up our kids from their different music camps (either in Vermont or nearby town), and then did two days touring, one to MassMoCA, and one to the nearby Mt. Greylock. The location & the house were ideal to our family of 5. The best part was to meet the hosts Rich and Cheryl -- very generous with their time, very responsive to our needs, and very thorough to stock kitchen items. Netflix is a plus to my 12 and 16 year olds. Our dog-loving daughter had a pleasure to meet and walked with their friendly dog Maya while we were chatting with Rick and Cheryl. If there is one thing to improve in the future, it is the stove which I had a hard time to put frying pan evenly, but if you don't cook much or use oven instead, it is not an issue. We certainly will rent again if wanting a air-conditioned place instead of campsite in Berkshires. Again, thank you very much Rich and Cheryl for providing such a unique place and we had a great stay!
