Drag a lawn chair over to the pond, fetch a glass of wine and watch the antics of geese, ducks and maybe a beaver while the sun sets beyond the pond. The babbling brook has places where kids can play in an old swimming hole, catch minnows, and build rock dams. House sleeps 6 - two rooms with double beds, one room with a queen bed.

Perfect spot to relax after white water rafting on the Deerfield. This was our 2nd year here. Owner responds to questions right away. Comfortable beds & seating spaces. The pond is a peaceful spot for an evening glass or morning cup. Kitchen is well equipped & there's a gas grill. We will be back if in the area again.

2nd Time, Just as Charming

This was our second time visiting Flight's End and it was just as delightful as the first. There was a new sofa and everything else was just as we remembered. We took advantage of the quaint surrounding towns for some shopping and lunch, had a fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the coziness of the home.

Just as pictured

My partner and I were in MA to drop our eldest at Smith College for their first year. We chose Flight's End for the location and the fact that we were allowed to bring our pups with us. It was incredibly peaceful and just what we needed during an otherwise emotional time with such a big transition for our family.

Lovely Setting!

The house is on a very quiet and lovely setting. The “pond room” is the perfect place to enjoy the many species of birds (we saw/heard about 25 different species!) that visit the pond across the road. The house is lovely and cozy, stocked with everything we needed to eat, sleep and shower. You have to close the shower curtain completely, or the water will leak and cause it to “rain” in the dining room. That was the only setback. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Beautiful and quiet country setting but the home's furnishings are dingy and dated. The kitchen faucet leaked the entire time we were there. Notes on what to do or not do were all over the house which was a bit annoying. The expectation that we were to strip beds and do laundry when we left was too much. The beds in the musty unfinished basement should not be listed as possible sleeping locations.

Filthy

House had cobwebs and filthy light switches that’s just the beginning. Don’t stay here if you are a clean person. Also way too many chores why charges all the fees if you want the people staying there to do all the cleaning work? Pond across the street looked nice. They have you remove the sheets but fold up the bed spread, so I’m guessing they don’t wash they bed spreads? Same with pillow shams? Gross.

Peaceful Getaway

Flight's End was more wonderful than we anticipated. The home is cozy with all the things you need for a relaxing visit. We enjoyed the beauty of the area, the excitement of the pond (kayaking, otters, beavers and ducks) and took some of the helpful suggestions of our hosts. We will definitely be bac!

Peaceful country home with serene babbling brook!

Sweet house is in the middle of NOWHERE. Didn't see a car or other human for days but the serenity was perfect.The handicapped accessible ramp to sliding doors worked perfectly for my 89 year old mom. Her first floor bedroom had no steps (photo on the listing shows a couple steps but they're on the opposite end of the room leading to the quaint "pond-view room" complete with 2 pair of binoculars.)The house has everything needed with ample extra blankets,towels etc and everything imaginable in the kitchen except we didn't find flatware until checkout as that was in a drawer facing OUT of the kitchen,not IN. Queen beds in each of the 2 upstairs bedrooms were VERY FIRM so I had a cheap 1.5" get memory foam topper delivered along with groceries by Instacart.I have serious spine/back problems so usually pack an unopened 2" topper even for upscale hotels or the in the Caribbean.Its placed under the mattress pad so I leave it for comfort of next guests or as a "tip" for housekeepers.The house has a well organized book with instructions about everything. WIFI is sufficient but bring a booster if that's important for you.My family gathered for buriel of my sister's ashes nearby.The babbling brook was perfect for peaceful relaxation and we all enjoyed our stay despite the sad circumstances.Was able to bring my dog & could have pitched a tent if needed for more people. Host is very kind and helpful but not intrusive.This is a well-used homey house but not luxurious.Perfect for us!

Great location!

We loved the location! The property was beautiful! Loved the pond & wildlife. The house was just like the photos. 3 comfortable bedrooms, and bare mattresses in the basement. (We all enjoyed the upstairs bedrooms.) The only bummer was that the washing machine was broken.... which was one of the reasons we chose this house, since we were in town for work and needing to wash our work clothes throughout our stay.

Even though we did not spend daytime in the house, the night celestial view was breathtaking. I don’t remember seeing so many stats ever, and the shooting star sighting was worth the mosquito bites. We hope to return soon. Thank you !

Special location, very helpful and hospitable hosts

This house is exactly as listed and prior reviews characterize it well. The location is really beautiful - country road in the Berkshires near both an orchard for apple cider and dairy for yogurt they sell in our fancy Boston shops. The pond across the way is quite pretty, and the hosts are wonderful about access their kayaks and bike to explore the area, and helpful with stuff like the remote control, etc. The house was extremely clean, and comfortable. Deck/fire pit worked great outside with collapsible/portable table for dinner. We were in town for Zipline adventure at Zoar, and drove to Williamstown and back. Also did a big bike ride of the area (hilly, mostly dirt roads). Had we had more time, better weather we would have done some tubing in the Deerfield River. Berkshire East activites are just minutes away. Came out on Rte 2 and went back thru Northampton (to Boston), and saw the Dinosaur tracks on the way. Great drives, great long weekend. To manage expectations: - the stream behind is lovely and looks like a great place to explore but right now (late July 2023) the surrounding brush/trails are povergrown so tricky to access/see (i.e. with some work could be great swim hole/paths to wander) - pond was very pretty for kayaking, but the Canadian goose droppings were formidable - ensure you have good rubber-soled shoes/boots - basement rooms are really exactly as they look in the listing pics - AC worked downstairs but fans needed upstairs

Quiet and Comfortable

If you want a quiet getaway this place is great. Bring a large frying pan and a sharpe knife. Everything else for cooking in is there. We were comfortable using the first and second floor bedrooms. We did not use the basement sleeping quarters. The house had excellent information for restaurants and things to do in the area. I gave it five stars because we got exactly what we wanted.
