Stacey C. Jun 14, 2024 01:19:18 AM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Andre's home. Beautiful property, and a very comfortable house that had everything we needed. Some of the decor was truly unique and fascinating! With Canaan having been my mom's home town, the location was perfect, and meant a lot. Thank you, Andre for our short, but great stay!

Summary: What a wonderful house. It was comfortable and beautifully decorated. There was nothing the house lacked. The outdoor fire pit was cozy, the pergola was spacious and the landscaping was lovely. The location was convenient to so many things we were in the area to do.....bike, hike, golf and sightsee in the Berkshires!

Summary: This home is lovely! Very well appointed! Roomy, and comfortable, tucked into nature with birds and beautiful landscaping. The upstairs was very cozy. The only thing I could say that might be a bit negative as it would not be very handicap accessible. We were expecting an elderly friend who did not make it, but it would’ve been difficult for her anyway. A second hi 5 for the comfort, and again, gorgeous! We ARE coming back!

Summary: Beautiful home.
Kristine M. May 11, 2022 11:00:02 AM
Summary: Wonderful, unique home in a beautiful setting. So many interesting things to look at and enjoy! We were able to make use of the fireplace and we also enjoyed watching an Easter Sunday service on the TV in the enclosed porch area while it was snowing outside! We really appreciated the separate living space upstairs, as well. Great stay - would stay there again!

Summary: Property was well maintained, clean and had everything we needed for a couples winter getaway. Planned to ski two days however a storm altered our plans but found a nearby orchard that offered snowshoeing and hard cider/wine tasting in front of a cozy fireplace to boot! Easy drive to Jiminy Peak for a day of skiing and then back to the house for an evening in front of a roaring fire. Highly recommended.
