A Slice of Serenity
We've stayed in a lot of home rentals - and across the board - this was the best place ever. The home was clean, nicely decorated and super comfortable. The hosts were easy to get a hold of and incredibly welcoming, leaving us with a generous basket of local treats. We loved the peaceful outdoor space and roamed all 40 acres. The pond was beautiful and if it had only been warmer we'd have jumped in the rowboat. We will be back for sure. A++ Thank you, Anna!

Great Family Holiday
This was our second holiday vacation in this amazing house. We had 9 children and 8 adults and there was plenty of room. The grounds are spectacular with great outdoor seating around the fire pit. The house works beautifully for a large group, beds are all comfy. We definitely will rent this property again. Communication with the Property Manager Matt is excellent. He was very responsive and helpful.

Idyllic Setting
The house and grounds are just wonderful! The layout is perfect for a large family gathering, with plenty of bedrooms (seven rather than the five indicated in the VRBO listing), a plethora of seating areas, a well equipped kitchen, and activities galore. The outdoor area is especially lovely, despite the imperfect condition of the cushions and on-site tennis court. I'm so glad we found this house for our vacation.

Amazing Wedding Venue
This home is absolutely stunning, it accommodated the whole wedding, party to stay there with us, rehearsal, dinner, and beautiful outdoor wedding. We had an wedding arbor with the mountain in the back ground, and the VRBO provided beautiful wooden benches for all guests to sit on. This home is fully stocked with everything you will need. Wish I could upload pictures.

Berkshire Graduation/Family Reunion- Exceeded Expectations
So, I reached out to the property manager prior to check-in a number of times because of not-so-great house rental experiences in the past. BUT unnecessary-- as the Freeman Property EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTIONS. Fresh flowers and fruit on the tables, and a lovely welcome note and basket- that alone showed the care the owners take in welcoming guests. I was especially pleased that my father- wheelchair bound- was able to participate in family events (watching movies, playing games, meals, etc) and enjoy most of the house (ground level). Gorgeous welcoming spaces for all my family members- from cousins, my sons, brothers, SIL, niece, and nephew playing board and video games and spending time outside, on/near the water- to my aunts, uncles, and my parents (in their 70s) relaxing outside. What was most memorable: for all the lovely space the house provided, my family mostly gravitated to the kitchen, laughing and watching my aunts and mother "compete" in cooking their favorite dishes. We gathered for my son's graduation from Berkshire School (about 2 mi away) but staying at the property for the week was so much more for us-- it was a family reunion; an incredible opportunity for family from FL, TX, GA, NY, and CT to come together, share great food, and family stories. My family was extraordinarily grateful- staying together in the house was an experience we'll never forget. Highly recommend this property-- I hope we'll have the chance to stay at the Freeman again.

House was great so much space and on an amazing property. There aren’t very many rooms which was listed but I must have missed but more than enough pull outs/beds for my group of 21. Everyone had a great time. Host was very quick to respond and extremely helpful. Overall wonderful stay and would stay again!

Spacious and Well Appointed
Hi Daniel, We had a magical weekend at the Freeman. Although the venue was more house than I had wanted or needed, it was embraced and enjoyed by all! We especially enjoyed the cozy wood paneled room where we all gathered before and after our chef-catered dinner. We had a roaring fire and played music (lots of musicians in our family) into the wee hours! The Freeman had everything we needed. Our chef seemed pleased too. The house was very clean and tidy. I will list a few recommendations/suggestions for future reference. We own a retail business and we always say, "If people don't tell us then we may not know," 1) lighting: you may want to think about dimmers. The lighting fixtures are lovely but too much light and no way to control it. 2) Maybe consider switching a couple of the double beds for queens. Most couples don't appreciate doubles anymore. 3) Need a few martini glasses 4) better instructions on finding the code pad for access to the house, it's not at the front door! Other than that, the place was pretty perfect! Hope you take these musing in the spirit that they are given. Thanks for your help, Dan, and to everyone who responded quickly and thoroughly to my numerous inquiries. Think Spring! Elizabeth

A quiet getaway for your closest 16 friends!
My friends and I spent 4 nights at the Freemont and had an amazing time. The place had so much to offer, we never felt cramped, and all got to eat at the same table together for every meal. It was a very nice place to stay.

Incredible Property!
We stayed at The Freeman with our immediate family and closest friends to celebrate our wedding and it was amazing. Daniel and the property management were phenomenal- so responsive and answered all of our questions. The house was more beautiful in person than the pictures lead on, and with the most comfortable beds we've had in a rental property. The yard is well maintained and was perfect for games and enjoying the gorgeous weather. Kitchen and large dining room easily served our group and the house allows for plenty of space for people to spread out. We also were able to bring our dogs along, and the house came complete with treats and a crate. I cannot say enough positive things about the home and the experience leading up to our stay!

We loved the Freeman House!
We enjoyed working w Daniel and his team. We appreciated the historical link to Black life in the Berkshires, the are and particularly the sculpture. Having a variety of gathering area/living rooms was great along w game room and huge patio. The pond was a hit! There were some things that were still in process (air conditioning, second fridge. Etc). We raised a few issues and got great help from Jesse or information about what is in process as the property is still being developed. We look forward to returning and to even better accommodations!

Simply lovely
It’s was an extended family getaway for the holiday weekend. The beauty and spaciousness of the home didn’t disappoint. The grounds were magnificent and the Berkshire region is great to explore. The telephone number listed on the sheet they left for the property manager was wrong. Needs to be amended as this has been a continuing problem according to the person incorrectly called. Small issue.

Beautiful house in a great location
We were 4 families with 2 kids each, at the ages of 3-6. The property is one of the most beautiful ones we've seen. The rooms were huge, and the pond and the "back yard" (which is an endless space for the kids to play in) - just too perfect to be true. It was kids (and dogs) friendly. 2.5 hours from Manhattan. Less than 20 min from the relevant ski area (butternut). The property manager was very responsive, the guidance was great and clear. Thanks everyone for making it such a great vacation! We will come back, for sure!
