What Our Guests Are Saying
Very comfortable place and really close to the great town of Livingston Manor + there are a lot of other fun and useful things to do in the area. The decor is a little simple.. but overall, we found it super comfortable and the layoff is great. Thank you we will def look to come back at a later date! 🙏
We had a great stay! The place was fantastic, looked just like the photos, and struck the perfect balance of feeling totally private, and just a 10 or so min drive to shops, grocery stores, etc. We brought our 6 year old daughter and she was was obsessed, loved the bunk bed, and wanted to move in permanently (along those lines, I wouldn’t really recommend bringing a kid younger than 5/6 just because there are a lot of edges, rocks, heights, etc, but thats obviously a personal preference). We loved that the top floor was TV free and perfect for hanging out, reading, eating, doing puzzles, etc, with a cozy downstairs for movies etc. There was just one issue at the start, and the hosts were very responsive. We would happily return, and hope to check out the related properties as well!
The house is absolutely gorgeous! I did not realize when booking that it is atop a ravine with a river at the bottom, which you can hear and see throughout the property, which was my favorite part. The house is very chic and well designed.
Our only complaint was the wifi service was not great (to be expected in the country), but this made working from home as we had intended difficult.

We had a wonderful stay at the house. We liked the location. It was close to town but still provided a lot of privacy.
Absolutely gorgeous and private location. Beautiful house with lovely decor and comfortable, stylish furniture. The heated pool and hot tub were a dream during the hot summer days and magical at night. Kitchen had everything a chef might need. Instructions were super helpful. Would absolutely stay again!
Beautiful space!! A little out of the way if your only attraction is Acadia (little over an hour drive), but if you are looking to explore some of the other cute little towns this is a great spot. We loved Belfast. Everything was very clean and it is located in a quiet spot. We had neighbors during our stay but never heard/saw them so it was like we were the only ones there. The only thing to note is as pictured, there is only a bath tub and it is located under a slanted ceiling. That being said, while I loved soaking in the tub, if you are over 5’10” or do not have the ability to sit criss cross in the tub it is very difficult to shower.
Our family had a wonderful week! The weather wasn’t the most accommodating for use of the pool, but we did enjoy the time we did have..especially the night time swim with the lights and beautiful sunset.
We made use of all the seating areas in the house, it was great for the kids to get space away from the adults and each other when necessary. We made use of the exercise space and also took walks outside when weather permitted.
The fire pit was great for roasting marshmallows and just relaxing. We really enjoyed our time and can’t wait to come back next summer!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful and the yard was a highlight. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch, dinner at the big picnic table, and lounging in the hammocks. We liked how the house was set so far back from the road, so it felt very secluded and peaceful. We love the area too – swimming holes, great restaurants, farm stands are all nearby.
The pictures of this property are lovely and it is even more beautiful in person. Private peaceful location, so much room, huge bedrooms/bathrooms, fully stocked large kitchen and very clean.
Absolutely stunning place to stay!! Spent the weekend here enjoying the nearby outdoor activities and town – everything was lovely! The house was stunning and so cozy – the kitchen, grill and fire pit areas were well stocked with everything we needed. Host was incredibly responsive and checking in and out was super easy. Highly recommend this beautiful home and would love to return!
My family has been going to West Stockbridge for 3 generations so we’re familiar with the area, but what a hidden gem this place is!! So conveniently close to West Stockbridge (5 min drive) but far enough away that you feel like you are in your own idyllic woodland fairy tale. The views from every room were so serene and beautiful. The house itself is gorgeous yet cozy. It has all the modern amenities you’d want but retains that old house charm. We especially loved that the bedrooms were in 3 separate zones of the house- since we were a party of 3 couples, each with a child (or 2). Every adult couple enjoyed a comfortable king bed, beautiful bathroom, with another bedroom right across the hall (with another bathroom). Hosts were very friendly and responsive- we appreciated the tip about taking screen shots of entry instructions/wifi since the cell service is very limited. All in all we can’t say enough good things and will definitely be back!
The house is beautifully designed, with comfortable linens and a peaceful location surrounded by scenic reservoirs, great hiking trails, and fun local boutiques and a brewery nearby. We enjoyed many aspects of our stay, and the host was responsive throughout. There were some AC issues during the visit that affected our comfort, but a partial refund was provided, which we appreciated. Overall, it’s a lovely place with a lot of charm and potential for a relaxing getaway.
The house is the beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything you would want or need. It is the perfect combination of mid century modern and rustic Scandinavian if you are into design. Very cozy! Our family loved it!! It was a little hard to find so keep in mind to turn right at the yellow bench.
We had a great time here! You enter a private oasis once you turn into the driveway. Our stay happened to coincide with a heat wave, so we took advantage of the pool. (The pool is massive!) Lots of areas to lounge and relax (inside and outside) as well as plenty of areas for activities outside. Hosts were proactive about all details and even reached out about the heat wave and gave us information just in case of air conditioning issues— which fortunately was not needed. The house remained cool and comfortable.
My family of 4 (2 kids under 10) had a great time here. Everything was very carefully considered from pre-check-in communications to the space itself, which was thoughtfully designed and had everything you could possibly want. We got tons of use out of the pool and hot tub. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking and has everything you could want from cooking implements to an ooni pizza oven. Rooms were and cozy, bathrooms pristine and featured nice towels, and the furniture carefully considered and comfy. The downstairs even has a foosball table. A great place to relax in solitude or use as a base camp for exploring. Highly recommend.
The listing is spot-on—everything was exactly as described. The view was incredible, and the property is exceptionally private and peaceful. The pool was a major highlight: very clean, with floats, lounges, and a shaded umbrella area. The kitchen was impressively stocked with everything you could need. Inside, there were plenty of toys for the kids, and the upstairs bedroom/playroom with crib and changing table was incredibly thoughtful. Each bedroom and bathroom was clean and well-appointed. The yard is half fenced, and the gated driveway let our dogs run freely and safely. Great playground on-site, too. We stayed during a 100°F+ heatwave, and the HVAC kept the house consistently cool and comfortable.
Red Cottage was very responsive to any questions, and I’d definitely book again!

After a long two day drive we were eager to get in and had picked up groceries on our way but the lock wasn’t working. After several messages we got it figured out and finally got in but our ice cream for dessert didn’t survive the wait. The bathroom rug was wet but otherwise the place was really nice and exactly as shown. It is a bit smaller than I thought but it was perfect for us. Very cozy and peaceful! The host was great in addressing the few little things and we would happily stay there again on our next trip to Maine.
