A followup to an earlier post I did this week about Nintendo's video game Tomodachi Life: You may recall that Nintendo was under fire for not including a same-sex option in the game.
On Friday, the Guardian is reporting, Nintendo apologized and promised to be more inclusive with future games. It seems they can't do anything about the oversight in this version of Tomodachi Life, though.
So, file this under Live and Learn. Kudos to the young gentleman who spearheaded the campaign that drew attention to the oversight, and kudos to Nintendo for recognizing the problem and responding to it positively.

To provide books to parents and grandparents on Wilmington's East Side, Christiana Care partnered with volunteers from the Pre-kindergarten Reading Encouragement Program (PREP) and Wilmington Police Department.

We had a fantastic weekend at Jill's lovely farmhouse. It felt just like a real home. We could relax together and cook meals and take in the autumn colours in this quiet corner of the world. If you need a low key peaceful escape this is a great stay. All details were covered, including the house keeper Sharon popping by to check in. Jill's information and directions were comprehensive and helped us settle in quickly. If you are coming from Boston the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps are great until the last turn! So follow Jills instructions. Shop for supplies before you arrive, Middlefield itself is tiny. A great base to tour the Berkshires.
Madeleine2016-10-17T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing stay. The house was spacious and well equipped. Clean, light and airy. Fans in every room, plus some to spare, which was great as we were there on a especially hot summer weekend. Jill made us feel super welcome and provided great recommendations of places to go and great directions to the house. She was a super responsive and organized host. The house is A Perfect for a Berkshire retreat. I will definitely be back!
Erica2016-07-26T00:00:00ZA group of us stayed at Jill's house last weekend for a planning retreat. The second we walked through the doors we felt so peaceful! The house is wonderful! It's quaint, cozy, well kept, and in a beautiful area. Jill was so quick to respond to questions, and very accommodating. There was a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the table when we arrived, and nice hand written note. We enjoyed relaxing, vision casting for our non-profit, and cooking meals together. We will definitely be back! It was a perfect weekend escape from the city.
Jessica2016-10-27T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse. Five of us, and plenty of room. The house is really charming, and has aged well over 225 years! Love those nooks and crannies. It was very clean with everything we needed. Good mattresses, and a great shower. We cooked at home -- kitchen pots and pans were plentiful. We appreciated the washer and dryer after our lovely afternoon at and in nearby Glendale Falls. Coffee on the front porch, dinner in the screened-in porch. On the morning of the "tropical rain", we finished a jigsaw puzzle. The countryside was beautiful in the spring with lilacs and spirea in bloom. We had fun exploring this territory of Massachusetts where we had never been before -- spotting deer, wild turkeys, and a black bear! Would love to return to stay longer. Thanks for all your assistance, Jill!
Sally2016-05-31T00:00:00ZOn arrival was a detailed note about the property and the area.
marri2016-07-31T00:00:00ZThis is a beautiful home in the Bershires! It's hard to imagine it was built so long ago - so wonderful to have the old house kept so intact along with some modern amenities. There was a lot of room in the house and we enjoyed all the different sitting areas, as well as outside on the porch. Went to Tanglewood one night - about 40 mins - and Pittfield another day - less than 30 mins, otherwise just hanging out in the country reading and apple-picking was great!
Sarah2015-09-16T00:00:00ZJill's house is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. It is surrounded by state forests and falls where you can hike and sunbath. The house was extremely clean and the kitchen is well outfitted with everything you'd need to cook up an elaborate meal. It's a lovely and charming old farmhouse. We had a great weekend experience! Jill was also very responsive and she answered all my questions very quickly.
Li2016-07-08T00:00:00ZI was looking for a way to step away from the city and find some quiet time. Jill's house could not have been a more perfect place for this! The pictures do not show how truly sweet this old house is. Waking every morning to birdsong, sitting on the porch having tea, exploring the yard and taking in the beauty of the wood on the old barn -- an incredible place to relax. The housekeeper Sharon was also incredibly helpful with questions; she keeps the house in great shape with a passion for both the property and the community. A great stay all-around. Thank you so much, Jill!

Peter's place was great! My sister and I stayed here for the night in the middle of a 3 day bike trip. When we arrived the apartment was nice and warm which was much appreciated, and really had all that we needed and more! Everything was well thought out and although our stay was short, it was a good one. As a host Peter was very easy to get in touch with and communicated all the information that we needed to know before arriving.
Koreen2016-10-16T00:00:00ZWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at Peter's lovely home in Plainfield. The setting is idyllic and the apartmebt itself is incredibly beautiful and relaxing. Frankly, the listing here doesn't so it justice--it really exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful stay and we are very eager to return.
Jenny2015-09-19T00:00:00ZThis was a fantastic getaway. Beautiful location, beautiful apartment. Peter and Paula couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommended.
T.2015-09-17T00:00:00ZMy husband and I stayed for one night and really enjoyed the space. It was sunny and bright, clean and the decor was charming, which included some vintage furnishing from a post office which the apt is above. The place was spacious and very cozy. Peter was away during our stay but contacted me to make sure our arrival and check in was ok. He even offered us to help ourselves to a little fire in the firepit outside on the terrace. The backyard was beautiful and very picturesque. The open land, stone fireplace, gardens and patio were just so pretty and inviting. We really enjoyed our stay, it was relaxing and oh so comfortable. We hope to be back again and enjoy more of western Mass. Thanks Peter!
Melani2015-07-13T00:00:00ZPeter's apartment was great! It was more like an apartment than a room. Beautiful, quaint with amazing views and a real feeling of peace. My wife and I took a walk to see the country farms and horses. I felt myself starting to relax the second I arrived (and boy did I need it!) The view at night from the porch was breathtaking. Highly recommend!
Bill2016-04-20T00:00:00ZI wish I could leave 6 stars!! An absolutely charming spot to stay on a beautiful piece of land. Peter got a fire going in the wood burning stove before we arrived and there was even granola, milk and coffee provided for breakfast. We mentioned we were bringing our three year old and there was a small juice box for her in the fridge! Such a welcoming and comfortable spot. We were there to visit friends, but our daughter enjoyed running in the large field where there is a small pond and a beautiful stone wall. The kitchen was perfect for us to cook dinner, but the hosts also left a helpful description of local options for groceries and restaurants. Really couldn't have been a nicer stay!
Alison2016-03-22T00:00:00ZThis was our first time trying Airbnb and Peter and his family couldn't have extended a warmer welcome or more perfect stay! The apartment is brand new, with perfectly placed decor and unique furniture and fixtures, such as an old window repurposed as a desk and an old toolchest as a bedside table. The apartment is spacious and bright - on the second floor (above the town's post office!) with slanty ceilings dotted with skylights. Peter and his wife and daughter immediately offered use of their entire backyard, which is beautiful and includes a stone terrace and two fire pits. We joined Peter and his daughter Ashley around their fire in the evening, although there was a second fire pit about a hundred yards away in case we were craving privacy. It was chilly for late May, but the warmth of the fire and the amazing expanse of stars was incredibly worth it. Peter's wife Martha had stocked the kitchen in the apartment with delicious homemade granola and fresh milk, as well as coffee and tea, so we were all set with breakfast in the morning before getting on our way. We had mentioned we wanted to do some hiking in the area so they had set out a book of the best hikes. All around it was an extremely lovely experience and we would love to return!!
Chloe2015-05-26T00:00:00ZWow! What a beautiful space and such warm, welcoming hosts. The apartment is phenomenally decorated and I greatly appreciated the variety of books/pamphlets on hikes and other nearby activities that Peter and Paula supplied. Their recommendations for the area were wonderful. I was using the apartment as home base while traveling Western Mass for work, but I can't wait to return for leisure and bring my bike! Loved the farm stand down the road, watching sunsets from the back yard, and hiking nearby High Ledge and Chesterfield Gorge! Thanks Paula and Peter!

Wonderful location in the woods, quiet and peaceful. Joan made every effort to make our stay memorable and even walked us through the map to give us directions for next day. Totally recommend. Thanks, Joan.
Gabor2014-10-13T00:00:00ZThis was my third time staying here, and I had a wonderful stay as always. Joan is a warm and welcoming host, very attentive, kind, and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to another stay in the near future!
Reina2017-01-02T00:00:00ZJoan's house is very charming and cozy. It is an 18th century farmhouse with wood-burning fireplaces, exposed beams, and antique furnishings. A great place to stay if you're looking for a quiet mountain retreat!
Zach2015-03-11T00:00:00ZIt's an historic, rambling farmhouse, made cozy. It's the last house on a dead end road way in the woods - perfect for quiet, night sky, serenity. Joan was a most accommodating host.
Winifred2017-01-17T00:00:00ZI had a great experience staying with Joan. She sent very detailed directions to her home, and I had no trouble finding it. The setting is beautiful and the house and my room were very homey and comfortable. Joan was warm and welcoming, sharing lots of good information about area amenities. Her sweet cat Kira is introduced herself with a loud "meow" when I came in. I hope to have the opportunity to return, and would encourage others to stay with Joan when traveling in western Massachusetts.
Joanna2015-05-15T00:00:00ZJoan and Erik were great hosts. They thought of everything that was needed and made me feel very comfortable. Their house is great - a peaceful getaway.
Dorothy2014-07-23T00:00:00ZThis was our second stay with Joan in the Tulip Tree room, and it was lovely once again. We were attending an event at Earthdance nearby, and having a quiet retreat like Joan's to go back to was just what we needed. It was always very quiet and clean, and we felt like we had the space entirely to ourselves. Perfect for a restful weekend. Thank you!
Stephanie2014-03-31T00:00:00ZJoan was fantastic - I was able to book within 24 hours of arriving. I let her know what I planned to do -- Tanglewood, Clark, etc. -- and she let me know how far it was -- that it was a 45 minute drive. She also gave very detailed instructions, but I'm happy to note her place is on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps. I was able to arrive without any problems, even just before midnight. She had everything all ready. She is very warm, and I was happy to chat with her the next morning. It is a good base from which to visit places I was interested in. I was glad to have gotten the booking. I felt very comfortable. Additionally, I mentioned that I was allergic to cats, and she made sure to accommodate that request. She is very thoughtful and communicative, which is so much appreciated, given the short timing between booking and arrival!

Had a lovely stay at Joan's! Peaceful, welcoming, and she's thought of every detail. Great coffee.
Amy2017-01-02T00:00:00ZThe room was pretty and had character as the whole house did.
Susan2017-03-07T00:00:00ZI had a wonderful time staying the night in Plainfield at Joan's place. It's a beautiful old country house tucked away in the hills of western MA. It was clean and quiet, which is just what I needed. She even left little chocolates on the towels in the bedroom! She and her relatives (who were staying the night as well) were all very courteous and made great company when we crossed paths. I really felt like I had my own space for the night as well, which was important to me. Overall, I had a lovely time and highly recommend Joan's warm hospitality to anyone.
Anna2012-09-13T00:00:00ZWe had nothing but a spectacular and cozy stay at Joan's home. She herself as well as her home are so warm and inviting. Even though she wasn't there when we first arrived, we were greeted by her detailed notes on the front door and plush towels and delicious chocolates when we entered our room. Joan was caring and was there when we needed her, but gave us space to explore the home and make ourselves completely comfortable when that's what we needed. Clear and thoughtful communication leading up to the stay and throughout our entire stay. Bonding with people at Earthdance was magnificent, but it was such a treat (and necessary for my husband and myself) to have this beautiful private space when we needed to retreat from the social scene there. We will definitely be coming back to stay at your gorgeous farm house again. Thank you so much for hosting us!
Reina2015-01-08T00:00:00ZJoan was very accessible, communicating with me from the start as to my arrival time so she'd know to put the lights on for me, and to provide directions. The room was beautiful and the house very comfortable. Joan is lovely, and we chatted in the morning, and she gave me great local recommendations. Great experience!
Lisa2016-09-04T00:00:00ZOur stay was perfect as it was in years past. Clean and so New England.
James2016-07-18T00:00:00ZWe stayed overnight at Joan's place after visiting our boy's concert at nearby greenwood music camp. Her place was very close, cozy and welcoming. Communication with her was very easy and she thought of everything. We would love to go back if we are in the area again.
Veronica2016-08-21T00:00:00ZThis place is great! The location is perfect to explore Western Massachusetts. The house is beautiful, in a peaceful setting up a quiet road.

The apartment was open, airy and comfortable, with an actual working kitchen. Our host had stocked the refrigerator with milk, butter, juice, fruit and yogurt — as well as 4 eggs from the wandering chickens we could see from the deck! There was coffee and an assortment of teas, as well as fresh bread and scones. The place was spotless, the bed comfortable, towels large and fluffy. We had a good chat with the proprietor who is personable but at all intrusive. It felt like our own private apartment, with a great view of the rural countryside. When we mentioned wanting blueberry pancakes for breakfast our last morning there, he steered us to a great local joint with the best pancakes in the Northeast (Yankee Magazine!). If you want a nice place to stay, in the real country, I'd recommend it highly.

Jeff2016-12-29T00:00:00ZIt was our first time using BnB so we were nervous about it but Joan made us feel welcomed at her home, gave us ideas about the surrounding towns and sites to see. I definitely recommend staying at Joan's very tranquil and inviting host.

Fantastic! Olaf is warm and welcoming; the house is gorgeous. We stayed in the third floor "suite" which has a very comfortable memory foam bed (queen), private bathroom and sitting room. The house is just up the hill from the Becket General Store, which serves delicious food. It isn't central located, but the drive to the more "major" town centers is beautiful. I can't recommend staying here enough. The only potential negative: Probably because of the unseasonably warm weather, we saw a lot of flies and ladybugs. Olaf was very upfront about this, warning us when we arrived, setting up traps and offering to come vacuum if it became a problem. The bugs didn't really bother us, but if you're squeamish (especially about seeing dead flies on flypaper), it's something to keep in mind.
David2015-12-21T00:00:00ZOlaf was incredibly kind, as we had to arrive late and he ensured that we were able to find everything and conveniently get in. The room was just what we were looking for after a long day on the road. Thanks again!
Jonah2016-05-25T00:00:00ZOlaf, was a welcoming host and his House is very nice and the accomodiation exactly as listed. We stayed only one night because we are travelling through the country but would revommend everybody to book this Airbnb.Thank you for hosting us, Becket is small, but beautiful!
svenja2015-09-30T00:00:00ZStaying in the Courage House was a true joy and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature. The rooms were very clean and the quiet area was perfect to come to rest after two weeks of traveling to crowded cities. 5 stars!
Nick2016-09-26T00:00:00ZMy daughter and I stayed for two nights. We loved the house! The room we stayed in had two extremely comfortable single beds and was clean, bright and spacious. I have a back injury so the beds are an important feature for me. We spoke with Olaf a few times in the morning while making coffee (with his coffee press). He was such a kind and welcoming host, and seemed like a genuinely nice person. There were 6 other people (that I knew of) that were staying at the house while we were there. We all shared a bathroom and sometimes it was busy when we wanted to use it but the wait was never long. I felt very comfortable there and will definitely stay again when I am in the area.
Kate2016-07-12T00:00:00ZWe loved staying with Olaf. He was very accommodating. We arrived later than we had planned too. He left us detailed directions on how to get in and where our room was. The house and room were very clean and comfortable.
debbie2016-09-05T00:00:00ZOlaf is great, on my third day and have seen him less than an hour the whole time. House is beautiful too...!
Fred2015-12-06T00:00:00ZOlaf's place was great! Exactly as described. Although we arrived very late, Olaf was accommodating and very helpful. Would certainly stay again.

From the moment we arrived we were enchanted by the magic of the house and the surrounding area. It was one of the most gorgeous and serene places I have ever seen. Denise was such a sweetheart! So accommodating, informative and willing to help us with anything we needed to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The silo cottage is straight out of a fairy tale. Ever since we came back, we have been questioned on Santarella from - hopefully- many prospective visitors. Denise also gave us a tour of the neighboring Gingerbread House and oh my - was that a gem! Ideal place for a wedding! Simply stunning cottage and grounds, lovely hosts! We love the Berkshires!
Dorota2016-08-26T00:00:00ZThe Silo Studio was the perfect little getaway for these 2 busy Bostonians (and our dog!) Denise was extremely welcoming and gave great instructions. She welcomed us with a smile and a bottle of sparkling cider. The silo is as cute and comfy as advertised. We got groceries from the supermarket down the street so we really didn't need to go anywhere. We enjoyed long walks in the mornings and afternoons. And granola parfaits & coffee in between. The studio is quiet and cozy and just what we needed. My friends were jealous of this unique little space we found. Such a little hidden treasure.
Monet2015-11-17T00:00:00ZGorgeous place and incredible host. We loved staying there. Wish to go there again with family. Thank you Denise for having us.
Jannatul2016-05-14T00:00:00ZHands down the most unique and beautiful Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The property is quiet/peaceful and the host (Denise) is kind and welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Michael2015-06-10T00:00:00ZFrom arrival to departure our host and hostess were wonderful. The place is truly magical more than the photos can depict. We enjoyed a moderate hike over Monument Mountain, a local theater in Great Barrington, some great local restaurants, and the story book grounds. The biodiversity of the flora was remarkable. The local pond was refreshing and unoccupied.
Jo2015-06-15T00:00:00ZIt is a really lovely cottage!!! A very wonderful experience and the hosts are very helpful. Would definitely go there again.
Hanying2017-01-06T00:00:00ZMy girlfriend and I decided to do a long weekend in the Berkshires and were incredibly excited to be staying in this converted silo. Denise was a wonderful host and provided us with some wonderful restaurant suggestions (the Starving Artist Cafe in Lee and Nudel in Lenox were both delicious). The property was beautiful and the silo was amazing (pictures don't do it justice). This was just a perfect weekend and we appreciated the small touches (including a bottle of champagne when we arrived). We hope to be back at some point in the future!
Will2016-11-01T00:00:00ZThis place is amazing! The set up of the cottage, the estate grounds, hiking trails and especially Denise were exceptional. We definitely plan on coming back. The center of Lenox awesome and dog friendly. Highly recommend watching the fireflies on the Santarella Grounds. 10/10 in my opinion! Fantastic experience.

When my girlfriend and I were looking for a place to stay for President's Day weekend, we wanted someplace affordable and away from our usual city trips. We wanted to find a little place to ourselves surrounded by nature where we could just spend time alone together, and that's exactly what we found. The kitchen, bathroom, and living areas look brand new and were very comfortable. The town is small and quiet, but there is a wonderful restaurant/bar within walking distance that made a very nice dinner for us. There are several picturesque nature walks within driving distance of the house. And probably my favorite part was the hot tub on the deck right next to a flowing creek in the backyard. It was everything we wanted and it's a weekend we will never forget!

Lovely cottage close to the starry skies. Like staying in a friend's home. Vey nice hosts that replied within minutes, so easy to communicate. Te cottage is warm and cozy and the nature outside breathtaking. It's a bit of a hike from everything, which is absolutely part of the charm.
christina2015-12-14T00:00:00ZMy girlfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend in November. Anne & Max were very communicative and did everything to make sure we were able to get there and get into the house all right. They answered all our questions. The location is great because it is SO quiet - which is a nice respite from the city lives we lead normally - and cozy, and the heating works great! It's almost equidistant from Northampton and Great Barrington, which were the places we wanted to explore. We had everything we needed (towels, linens, kitchen utensils, etc.) though I should note that there was no microwave. We used the toaster oven to re-heat food if we needed to. The deck was also very nice. The neatest part, I think, was the guest book they have that all their guests have written in and the notes that all their guests have put on the fridge with recommendations on where to eat, things to do, etc. I thought that was really cool!
Alex2016-11-14T00:00:00ZVery peaceful place on a quiet road. Anne and Max were very helpful and quick to respond to any inquiries we had about the place. House is very cute and the bed is really comfortable. I recommend spending some time on the sunny porch in the morning, so nice! We also spent an afternoon in the town of Lee, nice place to walk around. Had a great breakfast at the Starving Artist Creperie. Would definitely come back and stay here again!
Morgan2015-09-22T00:00:00ZAnne was very welcoming. The house was cozy and had a very comfortable bed. We came in late at night at and the house was well lit for our arrival. We will definitely rent this house again.
Yuko2015-08-26T00:00:00ZWe loved Max and Anne's lovely little country cottage. It's up a very scenic, winding road and the setting is beautiful. We drove up at night and there was a mist rising off the fields and a full moon. In the morning we saw a flock of wild turkeys! Inside it's a simple, very clean and cozy place with beautiful wood floors. We would definitely stay again. Also, Becket itself is beautiful!
Rochelle2015-09-07T00:00:00Zthis cabin was spacious and lovely. we had a wonderful time. Anna's directions to get in were easy and we found the house very accommodating. a great space for the price, I would definitely stay here again.
Alison2015-08-23T00:00:00ZWe felt welcome and well-oriented due to a high level of clear communication from Anne and Max. The place itself is charming, quiet, and clean- a perfect refuge to enjoy beautiful Western MA.
Lock2015-10-13T00:00:00ZWe had a great time! Very secluded and quaint. The stargazing is amazing! A great cottage getaway.

Staying at the Courage House was a great experience. You "share" the house with other guests but it feels private. The house is very easy to find and 20 minutes from anything you'd want to do in the area, which is beautiful. Rooms and beds were very clean and comfortable. The radiator in the room is very loud and rattles quite a bit so it takes some getting used to. If you can sleep through anything though, it wouldn't be a problem. There are extra pillows in the closet if you need them. The bedding is very comfortable. The bathroom is very clean but there wasn't any hand soap at the sink--this wasn't a big deal for me as I brought my own just in case. Olaf is very kind and makes you feel welcome in his house. I would absolutely recommend the Courage House to anyone interested!
Angela 2016-02-14T00:00:00ZOlaf is a great host. He is very kind and responsive. I love the classic style of his house and would love to come back. Great value too :) Everything is clean and neat. Thank Olaf for hosting me.
Trang2015-12-29T00:00:00ZMy husband and I just took a few days off to go to Becket, Mass, and stayed at the Courage House. The listing is very accurate and we both really liked this old house. It is spacious, quiet, and comfortable. Olaf is a good and friendly host, we had some interesting conversations with him. There is currently no restaurant in Becket as the General Store, which according to Trip Advisor reviews was serving good breakfast and lunch, just closed a few weeks ago (it may be reopening at a new location but we did not check on this). On Saturday we had breakfast at the Becket Federated Church, $6 per person, which was nice and we got to meet some local residents.
Ruzena2016-05-30T00:00:00ZThe house and room are very quiet and peaceful and located in a beautiful setting. Very clean and comfortable. Olaf is a great host, very welcoming and I enjoyed our conversations. Definitely plan to stay at Courage House again when I visit the area.
Kari2016-03-14T00:00:00ZI have stayed with Olaf before and I hope to stay again. He is a great host, the house is always very clean the rooms are clean and Olaf is very helpful. He told us about trails nearby and other random things. I think staying here is the best value in the Berkshires. The house is beautiful and in a very peaceful area. Thanks Olaf!
George2016-09-19T00:00:00ZThanks again for a great stay at the Courage Hose.
Matthew2016-05-10T00:00:00ZThe house was clean, the bed comfortable, the bedroom warm and cozy. Plenty of room for my things, nice views. Remote location, but still convenient to Lenox, Stockbridge and all the Berkshires has to offer. Olaf was very accommodating to my needs.
Robin2016-04-20T00:00:00ZVery easy reservation and check in process, and a simple and clean room good for a quick stay in the area. Great value for the price.

The best example of "glamping " I could of had. Cute little cottage , quiet area ,right around the corner from the lake .Air conditioning and wifi made it very enjoyable. Only issue beds were a little small, but also I'm 6'2 250 . Had a great time and everybody we met was very nice and friendly.
Robert2016-08-16T00:00:00ZMary Ann's cottage was perfect for a quiet weekend getaway! It was clean and cozy when we arrived. The beach area was a short walk from the house and we enjoyed a couple nice mornings there. The heater kept us nice and warm and wifi/cell service (was not needed very much), but efficient when it was needed. Would definitely book again.
KB2015-10-26T00:00:00ZGreat simple cottage if you are trying to get away for a relaxing weekend. Mary Ann was very helpful and her place was immaculate
Suz2016-06-27T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 63 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
SarahMaryAnn responded in a timely matter which helped me make a decision. I found the cottage clean and ready for our arrival. It is in a remote, quiet area, and the fall season presented a beautiful backdrop. I would recommend this cottage for a small family or couple looking for a getaway.
diana2014-10-06T00:00:00ZExcellent experience. Very private. The host was very quick in responding to questions. The cottage was cozy and clean. The forest is beautiful. The wi-fi was fast.
Georgi2015-09-28T00:00:00ZWe went to the cabin over a very cold few days and were happy with how warm and comfortable the cabin was. Thanks for a nice weekend.
Lindsay2016-02-19T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay at the cottage and loved how peaceful and quiet it was. This cottage use to belong to my grandmother back in the '70s and it brought back a lot of childhood memories. We used the beach and went for a swim, water was a little bit cold but not to bad for September. We will definitely be back, it's nice to get away from the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country. Mary Ann was an excellent host.

We loved our stay at the very cozy, clean, welcoming cabin! It was such a delightful find, especially for two New Yorkers looking for a weekend away. Susan's home was immaculately clean and everything was well labeled and easy to find. Her decorating is fun and cheerful and the location was fantastic for our weekend activities (primarily going to Tangelwood for 2 days.) We would definitely stay again!
Sarah2016-08-01T00:00:00ZVery cozy cabin! Owner was very helpful and accommodating! Would definitely stay again!
Naomi2016-02-08T00:00:00ZOur stay at Susan's cabin was impeccably clean and well organized. We came up for a short getaway and to disconnect from work. We loved the homey feel of the place and were surprised at how well insulated the place was. Snacks were provided in the fridge and ample towels were stocked for the shower. We took advantage of the gas range w/ convection oven and made a quick dinner. The dishwasher made clean up a breeze. Susan was quick to respond to messages and make every effort to ensure we had a great stay. Thanks Susan :)
Brian2016-01-06T00:00:00ZGreat cabin, great location. Really enjoyed the stay
Michael2016-05-04T00:00:00ZEverything was absolutely perfect and I completely recommended the cabin. Perhaps we might return in the future.
Phillip2017-01-09T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay for a weekend in late October at Susan's cabin. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for, and set the tone for a nice escape. It's located right off of Route 20 but we didn't hear any noise from the highways and it made for super convenient traveling into Lee, Stockbridge, etc. We super highly recommend the Dream Away Lodge for dinner and Prairie Whale for brunch or dinner when you come!
Ray2016-10-31T00:00:00ZWe had a great time. Even with the heat wave, fans kept us cool enough. The house was very welcoming and decorated with a true country feel. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch - terrific! It was disappointing that there was no swimming access within walking distance. After a lightning storm power went out in the living room. The hosts were on it in a New York minute and remedied the problem quickly. Great communication. I know someone in a previous review mentioned the thruway noise. It was hardly noticeable and we weren't bothered in the least. A lovely hideaway with easy access to the "touristy" towns.
Peggy2016-08-17T00:00:00ZMy girlfriend and I had an Amazing time at Susan's cabin. The cabin itself was even more beautiful than the pictures made it seem! We only had one question during our stay and Susan responded within two minutes, which was really impressive. This was a wonderful location for a weekend getaway, we would not hesitate to come back in the future!

This experience was incredible. 103 acres of land & The Aery is perched on a slope which provides great access to breezes coming from three directions. With the two porches and the concrete patio + the large yard with picnic tables and seating, I felt that I'd truly been transported to a magical land. I came here to do research at UMass-Amherst, which was a quick 40-minute drive that allowed me to see much of this part of Massachusetts, including a sweet little beach not far from Patchwork Farm. Jenny was an amazing host, there to meet me for my very very very late in the evening arrival & both Patricia and Jenny provided great conversation. Not too much, not too little. Jenny's little dog, Ninja, made the farm feel like a real farm and was sweet and very very considerate, only approaching when I called. I had a little problem with the air mattress and Jenny came to fix it immediately. It was a wonderful wonderful wonderful stay.
Metta2016-06-24T00:00:00ZWe were warmly welcomed. Patricia made sure we were comfortable, without being intrusive. We enjoyed just the right amount of privacy and time for chatting and visiting.
Elizabeth2016-07-16T00:00:00ZWe had an wonderful time staying with Patricia. The farm was beautiful, the room was clean and well-kept, and Patricia was an amazing host. It was everything we wanted and will definitely stay here again in the future.
Michael2016-05-16T00:00:00ZFrom the moment we arrived and saw the small cabin, we knew it was going to be paradise! Patricia and Jenny were absolutely fantastic to us our entire stay at the Aery. We had plenty of firewood for our stay and they made sure if we needed anything, we would have it. During one of our hikes, we encountered a cute cat named Oliver that was a great hiking companion. He followed us through the trail and back to our cabin. We are big cat lovers and having a chance to experience that was just amazing. They have many hiking trails for you to hike, each one has something unique about it. We didn't get to see all the trails, but we plan on returning as soon as we can! The location of this place is away from pollution and lights from a city or town. At night you can clearly see the many stars in the night sky. It is very relaxing! I cannot express enough for people to come out and stay at the Aery! It's a place of relaxation, unplugging from technology, and simply bliss. The air was super fresh and clean. The trails were made by them, and were kept very clean. If you want to experience paradise, this spot is for you! We are planning to come back and relive the experience, and I urge people who are looking at this place online and thinking about staying here to definitely pick this place.
Christian2016-11-06T00:00:00ZGreat location! We were able to access Northampton, Amherst, Springfield, and other cute towns from this adorable cabin in the woods.
Rachel2016-12-08T00:00:00ZWe had an absolutely amazing weekend at the Aery at patchwork farm. The cabin was perfect, it was the ideal combo of feeling like you were outdoors but being inside. We loved the hiking trails on the property and the pond. Jenny was very helpful with providing us what we needed. We will definitely be back, this time to stay at hermit's hut!!!
Anders2016-05-30T00:00:00ZMy husband and I felt so lucky to have stayed at the Aery to celebrate our anniversary. It was like sleeping on a luxurious giant screen porch surrounded by decks and beautiful views. Patricia is a beautiful soul who has created beautiful spaces to share with others. We enjoyed chatting with her and Jenny, wondering the well maintained private paths, and eating our picnics on the patio. We hope to visit again and try out "Eagles Nest".
Elisa2016-06-27T00:00:00ZWhen we saw the pictures of Patricia's Aery, we knew it was the place for us. The cedar and fir screen house, the quality of the furnishings, the natural landscaping, views of the valley and bird songs make this a very special place. As mentioned by other guests, Patricia's hospitality is genuine and loving. We enjoyed her fresh coffee and muffins and felt at home as she was honestly concerned with our confort and enjoyment of her property. Our stay was highlighted by challenging hill climbs on our bikes, swimming at the gorge and evening trips into Northampton for food and wine. We would not hesitate to recommed Patricia's property to friends and plan on returning at the end of the summer.

Robb & Julia were prompt in answering questions during the reservation process. They were helpful but gave us space we needed to unwind after arriving. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom clean. Good hot shower. Good breakfast recommendation. Thanks, Robb & Julia!
Paula2014-12-28T00:00:00ZThe host was very sweet and stayed up until past 11pm to greet us at her house. We had hoped to arrive earlier in the day to drop off her bags and get a key but due to traffic, we had to go directly to our event. The host gave us a quick tour of the home, answered our questions, and was fairly hands off for the rest of our stay. This was a quick overnight for us so that worked out well.

Adriaan2016-10-26T00:00:00ZWe had a great two nights stay with Robb and Julia! Their house is beautiful, the cats and dog (Sika?) are very friendly, the beds super comfortable and the space sparkling clean. Julia was also extremely helpful. She gave us directions to the local farm stand (wonderful fresh greens), the small diner up the road and a phenomenal Indian restaurant a little farther up rte 20 for brunch. Thank you!!
Elli2015-10-08T00:00:00ZRobb & Julia hosted me in a peaceful room, in their home in the woods. They were very welcoming, accommodating and kind.

Deena was incredibly welcoming. She clearly loves having people at her home, is very open and goes well beyond what I expected from an Airbnb stay. She offers breakfast (I had no idea and I don't think its in her write up) with a broad selection of breakfast foods; has snack foods available and encourages her guests to take any food from the refrigerator. To top it off Deena made Chocolate Chip cookies as a bedtime snack for her guests! Her home is conveniently located close to all the major events in Lennox. This was my first Airbnb experience and Deena established a high bar for hosts. I can only hope that my future experiences will be as pleasant.
