The studio was truly immaculate. The layout including tasteful furnishings, lighting, skylights, ample closet space, and heating made the place very pleasant and comfortable. The studio is perfect for a couple, even with a child. (We did not use the additional space on the ground floor, so no comments on that.) The kitchen had all the amenities for preparing simple meals. The less-than-full-size refrigerator was surprisingly efficient. Despite the fact that the guesthouse is located close to the owner's main house, there is no sense of invasion of privacy. The deck with the bbq grill and the fire pit on one side and the picture window (perfect for relaxation and reading) on the other side face wooded areas. Anni was friendly, quick to respond to a couple of small unexpected situations, and respectful regarding interactions between visitors and her dogs. She was also very efficient and responsive while setting up the reservation. The place is located within walking distance to a trail that leads to Long Pond and a few minutes drive to a farm and to downtown Great Barrington with its shops, restaurants, groceries, etc. Overall, this guesthouse is a great deal.
