We loved your beautiful house. We went boating on the reservoir nearby and
saw many beaver houses and two blue herons. We had wonderful ping pong
doubles tournaments. We felt extremely cozy and will definitely be returning for
a longer stay in the future... We enjoyed eating several meals on the deck. We
used the gas grill for hotdogs and it worked very well. Your close down
directions and tips were all very helpful and appreciated. Thanks again. Yours,

Our family had a wonderful vacation in Becket! The babbling brook was all dried
up but we did get to see 2 porcupines climbing up a tree right off the deck! The
bungalow is very comfortable and homey. It is a wonderful place to unwind and
visit all that the Berkshires has to offer. We visited many area museums and the
men of the family did lots of fishing.
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I loved it here! It was so much fun, and we did find the
third bedroom; it was an adventure! And it was funny too.
Thanks again—Julia and Rachael (children)
It was great! We did find the third bedroom, but not until we had a big
search. I want to come here every week. I totally love it. It is a very old
fashion house, just how I love it!

Thank you. We has a very comfortable, interesting week here in the Berkshires.,
visiting with our daughter. We’re used to the ‘great lakes’ and very flat land
back home. So it was an adventure here in the mountains!
It was hard leaving this morning—we woke up to the prettiest snowfall—wished
we could stay for a walk then curl up by the fire. Back to the rain, oh well.

Thanks again Arthur and Caroline for another great week! This is our 3rd
stay at your house and we enjoy it more each year. We had a snowstorm
(about 7-8 inches) one night that made for great skiing the next day. We
skied 2 days at Butternut and two days at Jiminy Peak. Both were great!! Our
boys enjoyed exploring out back and building another jump (to snowboard
and ski over and down). The boys are “almost out growing the bunk
bedroom, but I’m hoping for one more year if possible. Our friends and
family who stopped by also enjoyed visiting with us at your comfortable and
relaxing house. We hate to leave, but the week is over already. We hope to
visit again next President week. Speak to you soon.

This was such a warm, inviting home. I loved lying in the hammock, relaxing
in the living room with a good book, or sitting on the deck. Our vacation was
peppered with the wonderful music of the Tanglewood students—our little
daughter (granddaughter) included. We were able to enjoy the concerts in the
evening and soaked in the Berkshire atmosphere in the daytime. I guess we
were sort of addicted to the Prime Outlets! David did some wonderful
painting while mom and I shopped. I got some much-needed rest and mom
commented that she finally didn’t feel the need to be “doing,” but could just
listen to music and really relax for a change. Perfect weather and a perfect
setting.

activities: hammock hanging, sofa snoozing, and deck dozing. Somehow we

Thanks for another respite form reality.

As it is “my turn” to write in the “Guest Book” and as such become part of the
story of “Carolyn and Arthur’s Beautiful Bungalow Beside Babbling Brooks” I
ponder upon what to add…
Perhaps, all that is left out in the pages that go before is the “energy” of
welcomeness of this beautiful bungalow. The wonderment of how walking into
a strange place can suddenly feel like home to you. It is captivating and
spellbinding and soon you spin a web of wonderful memories in the
Berkshires… all to the sound of the Babbling Brooks!
Thank you for this place and time.
To Carolyn and Arthur and to all to come,
Enjoy and Happy New Year 2006!

Dear Arthur and Carolyn,
We had a lovely stay in your house in the Berkshires. We enjoyed being
together as a family in a very quiet, relaxed environment. We each spent time
pursuing our favorite activities. Beth even painted the ferns outside and drew
a still life in the kitchen. Diane enjoyed reading and writing on your porch.
Richard biked towards Pittsfield and down Otis, and Alyson exercised and
read. You have a great location for visiting Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow, the
Shaker Village, Edith Wharton’s house, hiking in Tyringham, and museums, all
of which we enjoyed. We had a great, relaxing week here.

rode trail rides, swam in lakes, ate ice cream (numerous times) and more. I
also had a wonderful 9th birthday here. We hate to leave your place but now

Even though the weather could have been nicer, we thoroughly enjoyed our
week in your “enchanting cottage.” It was peaceful and serene, just what we
all needed and enjoyed—we thought some bear or deer would come by…
maybe next time. The Berkshires are truly beautiful and so is your home.

Two days remain until the end our relaxing and therapeutic week at your
charming cottage. The hiking kept us busy during the day and the cultural
activities provided our evening entertainment. To see Mark Morris, Donna
McKechnise, and Savion Glover [at Jacob’s Pillow] within a four-day stretch
was like eating three gourmet meals (with no calories!).
And we love the bungalow in the woods. If you ever want to sell, give us a
call. Otherwise, we’ll just have to rent again next year.

We really enjoyed our week here in Becket! (It went too fast!) We skied
"Butternut” and “Jiminy Peak” and had fresh snow almost everyday. Great
conditions at the mountains and beautiful scenery everywhere!! The house
was a great place to relax after skiing each night. The fireplace was perfect
for relaxing and unwinding. The kids loved the house having their private
space in the bunk-bed room. The only problem we had was the house alarm
beeping occasionally during the night. Thanks Arthur for your help with that.
Maybe we will come back next year!! Let it snow…
