We wanted to rent a house in the general Great Barrington area in mid-December, and this is an outstanding vacation rental for the price and time of year. The house was clean and fresh, good beds, everything works, no unpleasant surprises. We would rent this property again. The owners did a great job with the instructions, rules and local interests. Anyone else renting this property, I'd want you to know that the driveway is VERY hard to see, we drove into the driveways of both houses on either side of this rental property before we could see where our driveway was. To be fair, 9 inches of snow had fallen the day before. I would want other renters to know that the entrance to the property is in the BACK (owners, take note), so you would not end up like tromping through deep snow to the front door and wondering if we are still in the wrong place, that having been missing from the instructions. I'd advise the owners to place a cheap show shovel in the lean-to out back where the broom was all we had to clear a way into the house, as long as the snow removers are running late (we arrived late afternoon). But you don't travel to the mountains in winter and expect everything, we didn't, and seeing this region with a fresh blanket of snow, all dressed up for the holidays, made it a great trip. - John
