It is rare to find a rental so thoughtfully and thoroughly appointed. The owners were so gracious and accommodating and the house and grounds provided us with a country retreat while being accessible to towns and activities. We couldn't have been happier (including our dog)!

This vacation rental is the perfect combination of getting away from it all in a rustic cabin while still having all the amenities to make your stay comfortable. The beds and linens are very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the fireplace is lovely. This was our second rental but we will be back!

This home was one of the very best experiences we have had with Airbnb! It is charming, comfortable, spanking clean and has everything - and I mean everything- one could want or need in a home, no less a rental, without it feeling like the "owners' home." The owners are a joy to work with. We were in Stockbridge for a wedding, and the homes that my relatives rented lost power. I asked if we could host an impromptu dinner for my 12 relatives, and the owner replied, "of course," without hesitation. I cannot more highly recommend this home and its endearing owners, We hope to return in the Spring.

Charming  Berkshires Retreat

Stayed Jul 2018

Marjorie S.Boston, Massachusetts

We had a wonderful week at the Redway House this summer.   The house is a charming old farmhouse in a beautiful peaceful setting, with a great deck overlooking the lawn and woods beyond. The house is clean and well-maintained with many modern amenities (like an Echo connected to a Bose speaker).  The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a nice gas grill on the deck.

As nice as the house is, the owners are even nicer.  I let them know that I was recovering from hip surgery, and they went to the trouble of installing a device on the edge of the bathtub so I could get in and out without assistance. They  responded promptly to every question, and they even left us some home baked cookies.

The location of the house is great - close to Stockbridge center, Lenox and Great Barrington.  I would recommend Redway House to anyone seeking a peaceful haven.

We had a great trip to the Berkshires largely in part to our stay at The Redway house. Everything is very comfortable and well appointed making it feel like a home away from home. The location is perfect. Easy access to Tanglewood, Norman Rockwell museum, Chesterwood and we swam in the Stockbridge bowl every day using the house’s swim pass. Also, the beds are very comfortable and the privacy and setting is beautiful. Fantastic place!

We rented this home for a weekend away with family. We have stayed in many rentals around the world. This is by far the most well-appointed home we?ve encountered. Every aspect of the stay is considered for the visitor. The owners were fabulous at leaving no stone unturned. The kitchen is stocked with appliances and utensils to make any gourmet meal, the beds are wonderfully comfortable, the entire home is immaculately cleaned before arrival. We enjoyed leisurely meals, walks with our dogs on the well kept trails, and playing board games on the deck. This location is great for many things in the Berkshires. We will be sure to come again!

The Redway house was the perfect spot for our winter getaway!

5 of 5 Stars

My family decided to visit Stockbridge for the holiday season and were looking for a cozy place with a working fireplace that was close to town but also private and peaceful. Redway house had the feeling of a charming old New England home but with all the modern amenities and comforts. There were more than enough towels and linens. Beds were very comfortable and the Redways set up the bedrooms ahead of time in the arrangement we had requested. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more for cooking our own meals and enjoying being together at the house - we love cooking so this was a huge perk for us (house even has its own herbs from their garden). Temperatures were freezing outside but we were still able to take advantage of the numerous beautiful trails on the property! The Redways have everything very well kept and organized, including trail maps, offering local brochures for things to do, and instructional pamphlets such as how to connect to the Bose speakers and use 'Alexa'. We arrived at the house to find complementary homemade ginger molasses cookies - they were to die for! Our two golden retrievers were welcome and quite comfortable. Our stay at the Redway House exceeded our expectations, we were so pleased and plan to be back in the summer!

Most Lovely Christmas

We spent the most lovely Christmas at the Redway House. The home is just a few minutes away from downtown Stockbridge with its quaint restaurants and gift shops. The house situated in a beautiful territory surrounded by trees and hills has lovely decor and is comfy and cozy. We loved sitting around the fireplace while watching the snow outside. Kitchen was nicely stocked and the home was equipped with all essential amenities including washer/dryer and dishwasher. Our hosts James and Liza were truly amazing and made us feel welcome from start to finish. We already miss Liza's homebaked ginger cookies and will definitely be returning. - Dee and family

Inside the 3 bedrooms and multiple sitting and dining spaces are elegantly furnished and warmly stocked with local art and memorabilia. The kitchen is ready for preparing almost any meal.

James and Liza have taken great care in creating a very friendly, inviting environment where our needs as a family of five, a child and dog were met with ease and thoughtfulness. We loved our morning coffee on the deck, our dinners by candlelight and movies by the fireplace. The house had intimate rooms and comfortable gathering spaces, a private backyard and trails. We enjoyed them all and look forward to returning again.

Staying at the charming Redway House is like being a guest at a favorite relative's house. We were astonished at how well-equipped it was from the pancake griddle to the special vegetable grill pan. The rooms are even more spacious than shown in the photos and the property is immaculate. We loved having fresh herbs from the garden. The hosts are responsive to every question and send guests a comprehensive guide to the property and surrounding area before your arrival. The house is on a very quiet road but close to many Berkshire attractions. We loved every minute of our week in this lovely, well-cared for home.

My husband and I had a wonderful week in the Redway House. From the moment we walked into the house we felt warm and welcome, as if our every need had been anticipated and provided for. We almost expected James and Liza to tiptoe in before bedtime for turn down service and chocolates on the bed pillow, they were so thoughtful. (Don't worry, though, they will completely respect your privacy.) They made staying there very easy. We had plenty of room, and could have easily had 6 people stay in the house (We thought some of our kids would be joining us but they couldn't so we had the house to ourselves.) We were close to everything -- Stockbridge, Lenox, Great Barrington and and saw plenty of live theater, movies, had some great lake swims, dinners out and ice cream. The Norman Rockwell Museum was a short drive and a great visit. We were also fascinated by the Redway family history (There is a book about the family's 300+ year history in America in the house) and it made staying in the house feel as though we were very connected to American history, yet we had all the modern conveniences. It was also neat to be surrounded by Jim's handmade furniture. This is a very special property whose owners dote on it and doted on us. Enjoy!

The owners even provide keurig cups for you to use, a very cool icemaker, plus a ton of spices, paper towels, and toilet paper, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, and even a complementary bathing kit! The house was immaculate and the kitchen appliances were new and up to date. You could tell that the owners took great time and care thinking about what their tenants would want. I loved the welcome book with their family story. It was dog and kid friendly, and our family had such a fabulous time! We went skiing at Butternut (our favorite ski resort), and we had 2 great dinners. We went to Once Upon a Table, which was fabulous. Great food and service. We also had take out sushi from Shiro which was also very good. We love this area!

Amazing Family Getaway . . . Exceeding All Expectations!

5 of 5 Stars

My wife and I were looking for a long weekend getaway to ring in the New Year. We wanted something simple, not too far from home, near outdoor activities, and pet friendly, so we booked the Redway House for 3 nights.

To say that our experience at the Redway House exceeded our expectations is an understatement. This property is INCREDIBLE. The acreage is beautiful (with tons of hiking), the house is charming (much bigger inside than it looks), and owners have stocked it with every convenience you would see in a 5 star hotel (I never expected USB ports throughout the first floor of a the house).

Not only is it a tremendous property, but the location is terrific. It was less than 3 hours our home in NJ and I minutes away from both West Stockbridge and Stockbridge and both towns have a lot to offer.

This is an amazing getaway for a family. We look forward to going back!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Redway House. This was the perfect getaway for my mothers 70th birthday. We stayed two nights over Columbus Day weekend. The Redway is cozy and comfortable, fully stocked with everything you may need. THe owners are available with any questions you may have and also communicated with us as to when we could get to the house...early!! Perfect location for a quiet weekend from sitting on the deck in the evening listening to the owls or a leisurely stroll downtown in the shops and for a couple drinks. The home itself, what can we say? We didn't want to leave. The furniture is beautiful and I cannot say enough about how comfortable every single bed in the house was, I didn't want to get out of it in the morning. I cannot wait for my next trip to the Redway house. You will not be disappointed by staying at this fantastic home. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your family gem with the rest of us.

So when I say amazing......I mean everything about this home was amazing. Perfectly located to everything you might want to do in the area of Stockbridge. It was wonderful, at the end of the day, to return to a quiet, quaint and comfortable home. I've stayed in many VRBO homes and this place was for sure one of the best!

The kitchen, well stocked with top quality cooking items, cleaning products, dishes, paper products and good coffee! The beds were extremely comfortable with high quality linens and pillows! Both bathrooms were impeccably clean and the shower head in the upstairs shower rocked! There were plenty of towels and extra linens. The living room furniture was so comfortable, in good condition, and there was plenty of space in the nooks and crannies of the home to sit in if you wanted quiet by yourself.

It rained most of the weekend while we were there so the fire place was appreciated. However, if there when it's nice outside, the patio had great furniture and the yard and gardens were a pleasure to look at. The "little touches" were endless. We were truly challenged with the decision of "staying in" and enjoying all the home had to offer or get out and take part in all the surrounding area had to offer!

I did not have the pleasure of meeting the owners in person but our communications through email and the packeted information that was waiting upon my arrival provided me with all the information I needed to be comfortable and navigate the property. Honestly, I can not say enough positive regarding this property. I will certainly return!

Peaceful Berkshires Retreat

The Redway house is a beautiful and historic home situated in the woods between Stockbridge and West Stockbridge, both of which are an easy 5 minute drive away. We were looking for a last minute Labor Day escape from Manhattan with our two dogs. Luckily Redway House was available! The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay -- including super comfy beds. We cooked on the grill out back the entire weekend and the house is stocked with most everything you need, including fresh herbs from the garden. Redway House was the peaceful retreat from the city that we were hoping for.

We had a wonderful 9-night stay at the Redway House. From the peace and quiet of the location to the extremely well-equipped kitchen and charming dining room and from the pleasant deck overlooking a sloping lawn to the comfortable bedrooms upstairs, we really enjoyed this well-maintained colonial house. We also loved its convenience to everything: a few minutes to the Norman Rockwell and Botanical Gardens, a short drive to West Stockbridge, Stockbridge, Lenox and Great Barrington. The location couldn't be better. The owner was so responsive and helpful with every question we had and very interested in hearing ways to make improvements, no matter how small. We took advantage of the Berkshire cultural attractions: Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, Mass MOCA, the Mount and music at Castle Street. I only regret that we didn't discover the trails on the property until the last day--but next time we visit, we will definitely explore those. We are already talking about our next visit!

Redway House

The house was perfectly decorated and was convenient. Usually, when I see convenient listed in a description, it means close to the highway and miserable. Not so at this lovely house-- You are nestled in a side road only locals travel down, and you have no traffic to fight to get to the Norman Rockwell museum or the Berkshire Botanical Garden (4-5 minutes, tops). You're also a convenient drive to Tanglewood (It took us only 20 minutes to drive and park, and that included the well known pre-show traffic). Additionally, you can hike the 114 acres on this property, which we did with our young child and our dog.

However, the most delightful part of this house is the history, the attention to detail, and the care the owners take with the property and the welcome that they give. I did not meet them personally, only through email, but as you communicate by email and then walk through the house, you can feel the care and warmth they have for their guests. A few examples: when we arrived the table was set for all of us, when we were thinking we should have brought our cooler to go out to Tanglewood, we found a cooler with blue ice and a blanket all set to go at the house, finally, when we were tired at the end of the day, we found a great set of historic books to browse in the library while we put up our feet and sipped wine at Liza's wine sipping table. Details!

I highly recommend this property for a trip to the Berkshires. Hopefully, after I write this heartfelt and glowing recommendation, I can still manage to slip in to this summer rental next year and not find it booked solid!

We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful, well-appointed home surrounded by tall trees. Our daughter played with the hose in the yard, singing and dancing happily, when we weren't seeing art museums, shopping in town, or exploring the Stockbridge bowl. We ate breakfast out on the patio in the morning sunshine and, in the evening, grilled steaks for dinner. The house is close enough to town and yet situated in a lush and private expanse of woods. The landlord was gracious and responsive, a pleasure to communicate with. We will rent here again.
