Quiet, surrounded by nature
Our family absolutely loved our stay! We all commented that we would love to one day live in a place like this! :-) Gorgeous home (clean & welcoming) and gorgeous wooded area (loved sitting by the babbling brook)!!! Overall wonderful, relaxing experience. Would come back in a heart beat!

Wooded, remote and cozy
We really enjoyed staying in this warm and relaxing space. It was the end of winter and we had lovely walks both out back and at the historic properties 20 min away. Nice, cozy/romantic place, equipped with plenty of good music, books and games, comfortable beds and fine bathrooms/kitchen.

AMAZING Getaway
This house was incredible - off the beaten path and very private - we felt like the only ones there. The house was impeccable, had everything we needed for the few day's stay, and was just the right size for our family of 5. The owner was very responsive and even offered for us to stay past sign out time when a freezing rain storm hit the night before we were planning to leave. This was our favorite VRBO yet

Perfect
I can't say enough about the Swiss Chalet in The Berkshires. It was beautiful and abundantly appointed. I stayed there with two of my lifelong friends, and each one of us had the same positive reaction - it just made you feel good. The remote & quiet location was just what we needed to decompress, but getting to Pittsfield and area attractions was an easy drive. I would stay again in a heart beat! Thank you!

Perfect times in Peru!
Laura's terrific timber frame home was the perfect early March reset that my family needed! Coming from Albany, NY; Peru was a perfect halfway point enroute to a conference that we were attending in Amherst. The home was cozy, well appointed, and had eclectic decor. Even though it has a small footprint, it felt spacious. With March weather being unpredictable, we had an outside fire one evening and snow the next. It made the forest surrounding the property look absolutely enchanting! Many thanks for a wonderful getaway!

We loved it. Very clean, large, great for our 2-year old to explore and run around. A beautiful stream in the back. Laura was helpful and flexible. Everything was well stocked.

Peaceful Getaway
We had a perfect week at this home in Peru. It's secluded, peaceful, and so cozy. I stayed with a friend and my dog and worked remotely, which went off without a hitch. The wifi was great through conference calls, and the dining room table was a perfect desk spot. The natural light in this house is a dream. We loved our stay so much that we've already made tentative plans to return in the spring. 10/10!

Lovely chalet in the woods
Our family have a wonderful time staying in the chalet. We explored the woods with our young children. The house is stocked with essentials along with fun surprises, like toys for the kids. The beds were very comfortable and the chalet is clean, bright, and fun. We would definitely return.
