We truly enjoyed our stay! The house is exactly as described and as shown in the pictures. It is easy walking distance to all of the great restaurants/shops/spots in downtown Great Barrington, and was perfectly set up to accommodate our group. The host was very responsive and attentive to our needs. We would definitely stay again next time we’re in the area!

We loved everything about this home. The space inside is lovely, well furnished, the kitchen has everything you would need for a long stay and the house is walkable to town. The backyard is lovely with an outside table and umbrella and lots of grass that make it an inviting country house. The communication with the property manager is fast and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to return again.

We loved our stay at this home in Great Barrington! It was great being about to walk right out the door and head to many different restaurants and shops several times per day. The house itself was very comfortable, and the surrounding nature was beautiful. This was exactly what we were looking for. What stands out the most is that my family got sick right before our scheduled stay, and the host worked with us to reschedule our trip for another weekend at no extra cost. Even when the timeline was a little tight, they made it work for us, which was really, really appreciated. Thank you!

Perfect place for a 2 week stay! Location was fantastic; quiet but walkable to everything in downtown. The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The fenced in back yard was private with a view of the river and was great for our black lab to run. We even enjoyed a fire in the fire pit one evening. The Internet service was very good and the 3 of us were able to work and have video conferences with no problem. Highly recommend!

We were so glad to be able to relax in the house, yard, and front porch. It was also very easy to get into the main part of Great Barrington, to enjoy the shade of the river walk, and to explore the area, given the easy access to main roads (all while being just a little out of the way of major traffic).
Our dog liked it too – thank you for the toys!

I spent 2 weeks at the house with my dog on an experiment- to see how i could live and work outside of my current apt in NYC. The experience was perfect in part due to the house- walking distance to GB but very private; beautiful large back yard (although could benefit from some more comfortable chairs); incredible internet; very happy and sunny house. Bed was more comfortable than mine at home and linens exceptional. Washer/dryer was a joy to have and use especially since my dog went swimming every day. I will definitely be back maybe even for longer. Couldn’t have been happier with my choice and only my second Airbnb and the longest one for sure. Hosts were very easy and helpful to deal with. Close to everything and easy to access.

This lovely cottage was close to amenities yet felt so private and sweet. The backyard backs up to the river, and was a great place to enjoy coffee, read, and watch all the bird life. The River Cottage locale was a fine home base from which to explore the Berkshires, and we appreciated all the good recommendations. The home was clean, well appointed, nicely decorated, spacious, with a cozy farmhouse feel, with modern amenities. We’d love to come again, and can heartily recommend it!

What a great house in a great area of Great Barrington. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved the backyard (fenced in), which was great for our dog as well. We were able to walk to downtown Great Barrington from the house for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The house was also close enough to several great hikes. We highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to come back for a summer or fall stay next tie around.

The property was great. There seemed to be a breaker that was tripped, but that was the single thing that wasn’t perfect. And, it didn’t really affect our stay. The home is beautifully redone, spotless, and well equipped. It is VERY close to downtown and makes visited Great Barrington a breeze. We would be delighted to stay there again.

Great stay at the Cottage. It was cute, clean and accurately described. We were a party of 6 adults and it was very comfortable. We even grilled out one night which was fun. Can’t ask for a better location to walk around Great Barrington. Close to other towns for nice day trips. Highly recommend.

When I tell you that River Cottage is a dream house to stay in when you visit Great Barrington or Southern Berkshire County, I really, really mean it! This home is hands down one of the best locations to book. It is not only beautiful, but perfectly located in downtown Great Barrington, right by all of the coolest shops and restaurants. And even though it is in town, it’s down a very quiet street that made our trip as calm, quiet, and restful as we hoped. The homeowners have done a gorgeous job with the property- the design is exactly as described (chic, modern!) but also extremely considerate to what we might need and how we hoped to feel. It’s clear that they love this space. Every single detail was accounted for, and there really wasn’t a single thing that we lacked. Even the bedding and towels were so soft! Staying at River Cottage was just as good as staying at a boutique hotel, especially thanks to the Posto Property Team. We were really, really well taken care of, and the communication was perfect- just the right balance of responsive, helpful, caring, and professional, while also staying personal and human! Favorite parts of this home for us were the kitchen (everything we needed and all new appliances- great for cooking after we stopped by the Great Barrington Farmer’s Market on Saturday!), the bathrooms & laundry (spacious and comfortable), and the fenced in backyard! There was a grill back there, a riverside fire pit, and a safe & secure place for our dog to run around and sniff. Truly couldn’t choose a better spot in The Berkshires, especially if you want to strike a balance between easy access to town and a fantastic home base for all sorts of adventures! We’ve stayed in some beautiful hotels and Airbnbs before, but this will be a home we hope to return back to soon.
