Lots of space and lots to do near by

I brought a group of friends up for a ski weekend. Finding the place was easy using the very clear directions given before check in. The house was large and the kitchen was well stocked - there were plenty of plates bowls and cups for our large group. Thanks for the great vrbo stay!

Awful experience

Renting almost all of July 2022 was a Fiasco. We left 4 days early. The home is very poorly maintained inside and out. The Owner/Host was difficult to reach & offered a lot of lip service but got almost nothing fixed. The description about the home in the ad is deceptive especially about all the amenities available. Nothing is Luxury. Nothing is New. Actually, the kitchen appliances (dated 2013) all need significant repairs. The dish washer flooded the kitchen; the laundry dryer door is ready to fall off the hinge and hard to lock; the ice maker is broker; the freezer & refrigerator light are broken; the gas oven took 1 hour to reach 350 degrees; the AC barely worked in master bedroom, master bath, office, kitchen and dining room; many upstairs windows are inoperable; the cable TV/netflix/amazon constantly freezes ; we found expired fire extinguishers dated 2013, 2014 and 1995 and also one totally empty ( used?) extinguisher; there are wires hanging from ceiling where 6 smoke detectors apparently should have been installed; we had incessant beeping on several occasions from the ADT security alarm that isn’t connected to remote monitoring; the towels, kitchen mitts, linens, duvet cover were bleached stained, torn and worn out; one fireplace protective glass section is missing. I am stopping here but there was more. I have attached 10 photos since you may think I am exaggerating. Nearly every single thing in this advertised as new, luxury estate home needs to be replaced, repaired or at the very least refreshed. One group of guests ( family of 5) that planned to stay for the weekend but decided not to spend even one night since the mildew odor was so intense in the basement bedrooms/living area. We purchased for ourselves some pots, pans, towels, a CO2 smoke detector, a toaster, batteries for flashlights, and non slip strips for stairs. Only the non strip slips remain for another rentor. We have rented vacation homes for over 20 years and this was hands down our worst experience. We would never stay in any property owned by this Owner. Forewarned is forearmed.

Shabby chic, but with the emphasis on shabby

Since we had a 10 day rental, we really got to "know" the house. The grill was completely unusable because the gas line was split, something the manager Rick should have seen when checking the house prior to our arrival. It was replaced, but not till we were sorely inconvenienced, and only because we were there so long. The bulb in the downstairs stairway was out, and it was pitch black using the stairs at night. Other bulbs were out. Rick also replaced those, but not for a few days. My husband found and replaced wheels on the lower rack of the dishwasher, which then made the dishwasher usable, since the propeller could not turn initially. The dishwasher was also leaking. He replaced the battery in the upstairs bedroom smoke alarm when it began to beep. He put drain cleaner in the upstairs shower since the screen on the floor was missing and it became clogged. He reinforced two chairs that we on the verge of collapse. Really? We paid to rent the house and my husband became the handyman. Then the handle in the downstairs shower spun around but would not turn off the water. We could only turn the water off at the shower head. When I reported this new problem to Rick his response was, "Sorry for this problem." I was sorry too but expected him to come by and repair it, which he did not. The bulbs in the refrigerator and under the microwave were out. The house was well equipped and located but very poorly maintained, and frankly, I did not sign on for that. So, if you rent this house, just be prepared.

About the host

Hosted by Howard Eisler

My wife and I have been coming to the Berkshires for over 35 years. I've done some real estate, buy sell and renovate in NY Metro, Killington, VT and the Berkshires. We used to own at Lakeside Condo's for about 10 years on the same Fox Hollow estate before we went into the Ski Lodge business in Killington, VT. Now we've retired to Florida for about 7mos. a year and just had to come back to the Berkshires for the other 5 mos. We have another place in Lenox.

Why they chose this property

This property was just far to good. Westinghouse built the first electric house in SW Massachusetts less than a 1000 feet away. Vanderbilt bought it and built a bunch of buildings on the property for the private use of his family.. Overlooking Laurel Lake from the hill top are by far some of the best views in the area. When you talk about Berkshire locations this is about the best. Present day facilities on the premises that we have access to (no extra charges) include indoor and outdoor pools, club house, gym, tennis courts and of course 1000 feet of Lake front on Laurel Lake ready for fishing, canoeing and swimming with our own supplied boats and rafts.

What makes this property unique

This is the one of two single family unattached private home on the 220 acre Fox Hollow Estate that has ever been offered for short term rentals. This unique piece of real estate is awesome. As you take a short walk to the adjoining gardens at the Edith Wharton estate either on the horse back riding trails or by the lake route you will feel the draw that brought the Tycoons to this property. Centrally located to all Berkshire activities and wow what a vacation we have in store for you.
