We’ve stayed at the cabin with our dog four times and always enjoy our peaceful stay. It’s cozy, clean and private. Also, the Sherwood Shoppe - just down the road - is a wonderful place for breakfast, homemade chili and much more.

Beautiful Sherwood Forest
This was a much needed 2 day escape from life. When I say it was isolated, it was really isolated. So far away from everything it was the quietest place I have ever been to! The roads there are horrendous but that had nothing to do with the cottage. It was the best equipped I have ever seen. We brought our own food but the fridge and pantry were extremely well stocked. It was clean and comfortable. Although the queen bed could use a softer mattress. We had no complaints whatsoever! The welcoming bottle of wine was a lovely touch 💕 thanks to the owner for allowing us to stay in her lovely quaint home. It was the break we needed.

We rented the cottage for a month! It feels exactly like you want a "camp" cottage to feel. lots of wood, cozy, VERY clean! Modern amenities too, like a very quiet "mini split" heat/ac system. VERY quiet dirt road. Short walk down to the lake. Super private. Unbelievably great water pressure in the shower too LOL! Close drive to some local restaurants and only 15 minutes to a Big Y grocery store. You will love it!

This adorable house surrounded by absolute quiet and peace, lots of woods, a trickling brook running along the property, a fire pit with wood provided. There is also pond access. It was absolutely what we needed to fully relax. The master bed was so comfortable! We loved every minute of it and I didn’t want to leave. I am certain we will be back again! There is a general store very close by that has excellent food and the owners were so friendly. They showed us around their farm. We highly recommend grabbing a meal there.

Perfect for what we needed
We stayed during a short trip trying to see two daughters in college in CT and VT, so this was the home base halfway between. It was quiet and peaceful, off the beaten path but easy to find (especially important when arriving after dark), and exactly as described. We loved that it was not large since we all wanted to be together, but with much more space than a hotel room with the convenience of a full kitchen and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend.

The cabin is the perfect getaway to nature
Our group of 4 adults had a lovely weekend at this cozy cabin. The hosts did an excellent job stocking the house with many items (puzzles, firewood, and plenty of kitchen supplies) and the check-in was effortless and straightforward. The cabin was easy to find with the address and the instructions. The wifi worked great too. The top bunk of the bed bunk is very close to the ceiling, so it's a tough spot for an adult to sleep in comfortably. Also, we were charged an expensive cleaning fee and then instructed to do much of the cleaning ourselves - which is frustrating. Especially since we arrived and the house wasn't fully cleaned (there was laundry in the machine that we had to take care of). We didn't want to be charged even more, so we followed the cleaning instructions. The cleaning fee should be waived or significantly reduced.

VrboOwner a répondu le 21 févr. 2023
We are glad that Katherine's group had a good time at our cabin. The upper bunk is not intended to be used by adults, because it is narrower than a standard twin, and as Katherine points out, it is close to the ceiling. We did not know Katherine's group intended to use the bunkbed and we will make sure guests understand this in the future. Since COVID, expectations for cleaning have increased significantly. Achieving those expectations, even in a small home, requires substantial time and effort. Our cleaning fee, less VRBO's commission, goes directly to our housekeeper, is standard for the area, and takes into account travel distance and the cost of gas in this rural area. It does not include the cost of supplies. All we ask of guests is to strip beds (and start a load of laundry if they have time), take the trash out, scrape the grill and remove ashes from the woodstove if they have used them, and return all furnishings to their original locations so our housekeeper can clean and disinfect more critical areas in the limited time she has between guests. We do not ask guests to do any other cleaning, but it is possible that a load of laundry was inadvertently left unfinished by the housekeeper from the previous guests. We were not aware that this had happened, and although we appreciate that Katherine took care of it, we certainly would not have required her to do so. (And on the rare occasion guests do overlook the checkout tasks, we have never charged a fee.)

The cabin was cozy, enough space to be comfortable, with all of the modern amenities you need and a great kitchen. The owner was proactive and responsive. It feels like a place where the owners truly spend significant time there and have considered everything folks need to get away while having access to all the essentials and more. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend getaway here and can't wait to return.

Cute and quiet
My husband and I stayed in Sherwood Forest for 2 nights while we did some hiking nearby. The check in was seamless and information from the owner was very thorough. The space is small but updated, clean and well equipped. I appreciated the little added details of local hand soaps and lotions by the sinks. I enjoyed drinking coffee on the screened in front porch. The small boat beach is a quick walk. The boats looked well maintained although we didn’t end up using them. The area was very quiet. I assume because it was “off season”. Some of the neighboring properties looked abandoned. We did make use of the fire pit one night. It’s a great spot to stargaze because it is so dark. We did have to watch our step in the yard between the driveway and house as apparent recent visitors did not pickup after their dog along the walkway. Overall this met our needs

Cozy cabin
The cabin was cute and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and the cabin is close to some beautiful hiking spots. A couple of suggestions -- the lot next door seems to be a dumping ground for trash which detracts from the setting. And we had some difficulty warming up the first night as wet wood wouldn't light in the wood stove and the heater in the main room was finicky. But overall we had a good weekend.

Wonderful cottage with lots to do nearby
The cottage in Becket was perfect for our needs. We were impressed with several aspects: 1. The cottage is very clean and cozy 2. The owners provide condiments and other meal "starters" so you don't have to shop for food beyond the main ingredients 3. The information provided before arriving is very clear, without sounding overbearing 4. The area is very quiet 5. You have access to the use of kayaks and a canoe (which we didn't use because we were so busy) 6. The bed is quite comfortable. 7. The kitchen is well equipped with every pot, pan, etc. you could possibly need. I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed our stay. I communicated a few times with the owner for suggestions and received prompt responses. We were extremely lucky when it came to weather. In cold or rainy weather, be sure you're ready to keep yourself entertained. We love museums and hiking and found the following places to be great for our interests: 1. The Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge. 2. The Mount (author Edith Wharton's home) in Lenox, 3. The Clark Art Institute in Williamstown (a must if you like art museums) 4. The Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield (a stop on our way to Becket) 5. Mount Greylock We also took several wonderful hikes, including Kennedy Park in Lenox, the trails around the Rockwell Museum, a portion of the Appalachian Trail in Becket, the Becket Quarry Trails, October Mountain State Forest In every category, we rate our stay as 5/5, with the exception of the 4/5 for the neighborhood. Many of the cottages and houses are very well kept, while others are very run down. This cottage is very nice, so the neighborhood is not really an issue unless you want to take a walk where everything seems pristine. In bad weather, the dirt road that leads to the cottage could present a problem if you don't have front wheel drive. Although we didn't care much about having good restaurants close by, if you are looking to eat out often, you'll have to be ready to drive some distance.

Our only complaint was that the top bunk of the bunk beds was not easy to utilize (there is no step to help a kid up or down) so the kids shared a bed instead.
