Cozy Getaway in the Berkshires

We loved this house. Such a great area, beautiful home, very comfortable.
We were in the area for the first time and took our two little boys skiing for the first time.
Adam was very accessible and helpful ~ we hope to stay here again!

We are so grateful to Adam and his gem in the country!The house is very clean and beautifully appointed. We needed to find a place at the last minute and Adam was very understanding and accommodating. We loved swimming in the nearby lake, going to Tanglewood and exploring Columbia County. We look forward to coming back!

Our getaway to Canaan was awesome as a result of Adam's charming home and excellent hospitality. The house was clean, aesthetically pleasing, fully functional, and well equipped for guests with appliances, amenities, and games. The owner gives his guests an extremely helpful guide to the house and surrounding area, and was an excellent communicator. My only hesitation in giving a 5-star recommendation is that I worry it won't be available when we want to return!

Adam's place is fabulous and he was the perfect host. He made sure that we had everything we needed before and during our visit. The location in Canaan is beautiful. Truly couldn't have asked for a better visit. Planning to go back again as soon as possible.

We were a little nervous about taking our twin 11-month babies for a mini-vacation in a rental home, but Adam made our stay SO easy and comfortable. The house has been lovingly restored--it has an open, contemporary feel while staying true to the old-fashioned charm of a Victorian farmhouse. Adam was available every step of the way to answer my myriad questions both before and during our trip. We had a wonderful time hanging out at the very cozy (but spacious) home, cooking and listening to music, and also venturing a few miles in various directions to take in the sites. It was a perfect jumping-off point for both Western Mass and (new to us) Eastern New York. Thank you for being so friendly and welcoming, Adam. We hope to return to your place soon!

Really great beautiful old farmhouse in a gorgeous setting. Lovely and well-equipped kitchen, wood-burning stove, tasteful decor, so cozy. Adam is so nice and accommodating. We usually go to the Catskills when we head upstate, but The Berkshires are fantastic! And the same distance from the city, an easy 2.5 hours to Canaan, NY. The Shaker Village is super cool -- stunning architecture set in the mountains. The cross-country ski trails at Canterbury Farms are first rate. Both of which are within 20 minutes of Adam's house. Tons of great antique and junk stores around. The perfect refuge from NYC.

Adam was one of the first people we met when we moved into our cottage up the road, and has since become one of our dearest friends. He’s the man we entrust with our keys, and knowing him (and, more recently, the lovely Satomi and Saya) has made our Canaan life all the more fun! Adam’s beautiful farmhouse is an extension of his wonderful, eclectic (email hidden) interior that doesn’t take itself too seriously. As a chef, world traveler, and outdoor enthusiast, Adam has taken great care to create an environment that emphasizes the finer things in life: eating, relaxing with friends, and engaging with nature. His open-plan kitchen/dining room area makes cooking a joy; his cozy living room is great for reading novels or watching sports; his downstairs guest room en suite provides lots of options for privacy; and, best of all, his five acres of property is a veritable wildlife corridor, perfect for critter and bird watching. Wake up in the morning and drink your coffee in his sun-filled breakfast nook, hop on a bike and take a short .7 mile spin to Queechy Lake, then come home and cook an amazing, locally sourced dinner for family and friends. This is your perfect escape from all the urban madness!
