Great Place!

This was a great place to house our family of 12 during the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. There was plenty of space for everyone to gather. The beds were comfortable and all the bedrooms upstairs had their own bathroom - so nice! The house made our weekend extra special. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful vacation

This was our family’s third summer staying at the General Williams Home. Despite it being the hottest week of the summer, we had a great vacation; spending lots of time in the pool and enjoying the spacious, air-conditioned house. It’s conveniently located with great places to walk, eat and shop nearby. There are so many interesting museums and activities within a short drive. Andrea is very accessible and quick to respond, a wonderful host. We look forward to staying here next summer!

My birthday gift to myself

I wanted a way to celebrate my 75th birthday where I could spend more than a couple of hours with my family. A cruise was out due to the prevalence of Covid. I looked around for properties nearby and settled on the Berkshires. The General Williams House stood out, because of its proximity to Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow, and the Norman Rockwell Museum. In addition, there were a lot of shops and restaurants in the area. The house had enough bedrooms to accomodate me, my three children, their spouses, and my two grandchildren. One of my brothers came, and there was an extra bedroom for him. With the exception of the first floor bedroom, all of the bedrooms had attached baths. We had plenty of room to spread out in the living room, or the room with the the billiard table. Outside, we gathered on the porch or the terrace, or around the pool. People could either hang out, or do their own thing in the surrounding towns. Many enjoyed hiking in the nearby state park, or on other trails in the neighborhood. And, they always returned to this very comfortable house. Another of my brothers, his wife and son stayed in Lenox, while two nieces stayed in Pittsfield. Unbeknown to me, my children planned a party in the ice house on the property. They arranged for food from a local restaurant, and got cakes made by the pastry chef at The Red Lion in town. We were fourteen in total, and there was plenty of room in the ice house to accomodate us. This is a very large property, and we had room to play bocce. I had a problem with my toilet seat, and it was quickly addressed. All it took was an email to the manager. We have rented other houses before, and this one falls high on the list.

Big Comfortable House for Large Family

Property was just as presented. Very clean and spacious! Lots of room for all of us to spreadout and relax. Lots of room for little ones to play in family room and dining room areas. Pool is not heated so unfortunately, we did not get to enjoy that amenity in June. Loved outdoor area to sit and relax on patio with family. Also enjoyed the room with the pool table and another kitchen - great gathering room. Overall would highly recommend property.

Family Holiday in the Berkshires

We are just unpacking from our three day stay at the General Williams Estate. This was a family Holiday to celebrate our grandson’s High School Graduation. The house was large enough for the ten of us to throughly enjoy ourselves. Best features ~. Pool Table ( one full day of rain). Great living room couch to watch lots of Sports, A large dinning room table , well equipped kitchens ( two!). Lovely bedroom space,, terrific yard for badminton, corn hole, spike ball. The swimming pool had good use one afternoon by some of us…( Brrr). Great shopping and lots of bike riding through Tanglewood and a full family ride on the Ashuiticook paved bike trail. Andrea was easy to work with and someday we hope to return. I highly recommend the house. Enjoy!

great place for 10 guests with small fixes suggested

Our stay last weekend was comfortable and enjoyable in General James House. The beds were comfortable, and the lounging space and outdoors are perfect for a large group to gather and relax. We only used the main house, and the pool was not open. There are few items we noted and would like to convey to the hostess- This is an old house and needs some extra attention to some of the important features - lights on the stove/kitchen, the external door locks are hard to close, the bath tubs in two of the bed rooms do not drain well and the trash compactor does not work. Basic supplies such as toilet roll, paper towels were not sufficient and when requested couple of extras, we were asked to buy our own which we did. So if you have large group then bring all these house supplies. The house has temperature controls with no access to guest for any adjustments-they were in locked mode. Although, we were instructed to call with questions , the phone calls were never answered (not good if there was an emergency) and the calls were returned late (one call as late as 24h). These are minor but important points that would make this lovely place even more desirable for large families. We had met the hostess accidently at the market and she was truly interested in making it all better for guest. I am sure the hostess will attend to all these mentioned items and will make it better for future visitors. Overall, we had a nice time and I would recommend this place for large groups. The location is central to all hikes, restaurants and shopping.

Great house but limited

The house is great from a space and common area perspective. However there was nothing provided besides towels - no trash bags no soap (in a pandemic ) ,etc. we also could not control the thermostats so it was either freezing or scorching. Love the house but hope that in the future the host provides some things for the guests so we the money that is saved with the house is added on buying common VRBO amenities .

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is clean, comfortable, and very big. We had plenty of space for all 12 of our guests. The one tip I will give to anyone planning on staying here is bring your own toilet paper and paper towels. The host does not provide these things. Other than that, everything was great. Would visit again.

Perfect house for our large group (5 adults, 8 kids) to mingle and also have privacy. The trip was a mid point for a belated family Christmas celebration.

Great for family gathering!

We gathered to celebrate a family members 60th birthday. The layout of this beautiful home was perfect! We utilized every room downstairs for our celebration. The many bedrooms and bathrooms were great for the privacy of each guest. My only suggestions would be 1. Bring extra towels. We had a lot of women in our group and one bath towel per person was not enough. 2. Bring extra blankets. Some guests in my party were cold. Had to take quilts from guests who were too warm. But even with the shuffling of blankets and the three I brought from home, we still didn't have enough. One guest wore their coat to bed. 3. If you are doing a lot of cooking for a large group bring a large pasta pot, frying pan and griddle (if you like pancakes) , And a few large serving dishes. The home is beautiful and was very clean. The owner responded very quickly to my questions.
