Wedding Weekend
Location was perfect for activities at the Interlaken Inn. Kitchen had everything needed to cook and store food, which we find rare at other rentals. Bedding, pillows and towels seemed brand new. We appreciated having hand soap provided. Windows and doors didnt all lock, some were open when we arrived. Upstairs shower could not be used due to only a partial shower curtain, dishwasher was broken, we fixed on of the doors and the doorbell on it.spiders all over the main full batthroom. Running out of space here but we would stay at Whitney again. ..............bath, dohower could not be used withoutnsr

disappointing!
The property looked great in the pictures- sunny, spacious and clean. We had the exact opposite experience. There were lot of cobwebs, towels were not clean, the furniture is really old and there the whole house smells quite bad. Soe of the kitchen utensils are at least 30 years old! and most of the kitchen cabinets or the dressers were diffcult to open. It is also right off the road and so we had to be really careful with our dogs since the backyard or front yard has no fence. The doors did not work and the concierge services were extremely delayed or not helpful. Overall, i would not recommend this place.

Perfect Fall Getaway
My grown cousins, all friends, all with children decided to plan a weekend away together, just the moms. This charming house met all of our criteria and more. Very comfortable, lots of space, quiet, restful and just a wonderful getaway together. Great distance from a ton of ridiculously charming stores, book shops, coffee shops, etc. The checkout process was incredibly easy. Absolutely would book again, this place is a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy being in the Berkshires.

Family Vacation
The house is charming and spacious. With all the spaces available, there was plenty of room to accommodate my grandchildren playing with legos and adults sitting around and chatting. Everyone loved the Foosball table! Very comfortable home in a great location in the Berkshires. Big backyard but this year it was too full of mosquitoes to use.

Whitney - Great potential disappointing cleanliness and maintenance.
Over the years we have successfully rented at least 5 other properties. Unfortunately Whitney was a big disappointment due to things easily remedied by improving their cleaning and maintenance. Cleaning issues were primarily related to the kitchen and are as follows: Upon arrival the coffee maker had used grounds left in the filter. The garbage can to the right of the sink was completely full of trash. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. The oven had spilled food on the bottom resulting in smoke as it heated up to cook something. The refrigerator had crumbs etc inside. It obviously wasn’t cleaned. The cloth napkins were dirty. We used paper towels instead. A better option would be to supply paper napkins. The floor in the enclosed porch, was covered with dirt, leaves and twigs. Maintenance issues include the following: The Fujitsu remote for the first floor guest bedroom did not work. Upon investigation a leaking battery was discovered. The only option was to take a replacement battery out of one of the living room remotes. The second floor shower was useless due to very low water press and and ineffective water temperature control One of the door locks in the second floor bathroom kept falling out. It’s missing a screw or what’s there is the wrong size. Many of the window shades on the second floor are broken. The fireplace flue was open. We closed it. Also, the fireplace itself was overflowing with ashes. As someone is aware because there is a note, the main glass door between the laundry and living room couldn’t be used. Due to its primary location fixing it should be a priority. A kitchen knife was jutting out of the window lock in the kitchen to keep it shut with a note stating not to remove the knife. This looks like a simple repair. We hope these issues are addressed immediately so future tenants will have a better stay than we did. The house itself has lots of character and is located on a beautiful country road.
