I spent a week in July at this lovely cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Upon arrival, you will find a very welcoming home. It is a unique, artistic, labor of love and it shows in every room. From the expertly tiled bathroom and floors to the original artwork and stained glass windows, you will not want to leave, but there are many attractions close by. We visited the Infinity Music Hall, Kripalu, Jacob's Pillow as well as the CIA in Hyde Park. Great Barrington is close by as well as plenty of local dining choices. If you decide to eat in, there is a fully stocked kitchen as well as a terrace and deck overlooking the Housatonic river for outdoor dining. You can end the day with a relaxing whirlpool bath before retiring to the very comfortable beds or listen to music or watch a movie. There is an extensive collection of CDs and videos. Although you are guests, the owners hospitality causes you to feel more like friends. Many thanks, Danielle and Mario, for sharing this gem. I look forward to returning soon.

I have been traveling to the northwest of Connecticut since my teens, spending a lot of weekends at Lime Rock and Sharon where my daughters spent their summers in a camp. There hasn't been a summer that i haven't traveled here for some reason or dreamed of a place of my own in the region.Well, I've found the next best thing. This cottage could not be more inviting and comfortable. The finishes, furnishings and Tuscan tone of the house feel comfortable and rustically elegant. There is original art throughout by Danielle and Mario's creativity and craftsmanship keep you intrigued with it's whimsical touches from room to room. The deck looking onto the river is just like another room of the house.
Right in town is the Falls Village Inn for cocktails or dinner. The Toy Makers Cafe is delicious, friendly and totally unique. Nearby the hike up Haystack mountain is worth the view from the amazing tower there. Looking down, you can see the road winding to Norfolk and Infinity Hall, an intimate music venue with top acts booked year round. Spend a couple days at the cottage and you'll be planning you next visit before your a mile down the road home.
