Knoll Rock is a historic very charming 4 bedroom home that has been lovingly restored with attention to every possible creature comfort. The kitchen had every modern convenience as did all 4 bathrooms. The home was meticulous and the host, Mai was very friendly and helpful. We were three senior couples, long time friends, and couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable stay.

Historic & Modern

A labyrinth of rooms with original flooring and beamed ceiling. Modern beautiful bathrooms that match the home perfectly. Location is peaceful & serene. Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely stay again, since we have family in the area. Convenient to Tanglewood as well. Owner loves her home and it is evident in her thoroughness in explaining the how to's of the home.

Mai was quick to respond to any of my questions. The house has absolutely everything you need plus more! Each room is housed with an individual air condition unit which was wonderful esp during the day when it was warmer. The beds are all Queens with one king and very good quality, including all sheets, comforters, duvet covers and towels. Wonderful showers! The front and back porch areas were esp nice to sit together and have a meal or coffee. Sufficient parking and easy to get to Tanglewood. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Mai!

Exquisite property combining historical, architectural and modern features.

Knock Knoll offers a one of a kind experience. A beautiful historical property updated with the finest and extensive amenities. Lovely outdoor areas for cooking, dining, relaxing and enjoying the quiet surroundings. Close to many attractions such as Tanglewood, The Mount, Norman Rockwell Museum, lots of galleries, dining, and hiking. Excellent care and attention from Mai and owners of the property.

Modern living in a 300+ year old house

We were fortunate to be able to rent this beautiful home after someone else canceled. This was my family’s first escape from NYC since the pandemic started. It hit all the right notes - beautiful, large (we rented both units to have 4 bed/4 bath), quiet and super comfortable. The teens in our group had plenty of room to spread out and occasionally took a break from their screens (which was hard to do because there was great WiFi and roku tvs in the home). The kitchen was well equipped to cook several family meals together and the outdoor grill was large enough to get some outdoor cooking done as well. The house was immaculate on arrival. The beds were comfortable. ACs were available but we didn’t need much since the temps were relatively cool at night. The attached woods served for relaxing walks. The backyard table and fire pit were a big hit. Supermarkets were within 20 minute drive, along with lots of farm stands. Lots of stars at night. Great hiking trails short drive away and of course the OMI Art fields too. A nearby lake and beach which we enjoyed visiting. It was wonderful respite and hit all of our checkboxes for a vacation rental. Mai was super attentive and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process and we appreciated her availability by text as well as the in person welcome and farewell. I wish we had more time (we only had five nights) as there is probably a lot more we could have done.

We had high expectations and this exceeded them.

This is a gem. It would be hard to overstate how much we enjoyed our stay here, and how perfect the place was for us. We were 3 adults and 2 children (ages 9 and 12); we stayed for 7 nights. The rambling configuration meant there was plenty of room - and privacy - for everyone, and the common areas were great for family time. It is well-appointed and it was stocked with everything we could possibly have needed. Mai was a terrific host. She was clear about her expectations, which we appreciated – and which we understood even better after seeing the property. It is a unique, historic house that was beautifully renovated and is meticulously maintained. She went out of her way to accommodate us and responded quickly to several queries we had during the week, including letting us borrow extra lawn chairs for concerts at Tanglewood. We also appreciated that she let us use her pass to the private beach at Queechy Lake – we had a great time there. Outside, we enjoyed the firepit, the patio, the yard and the solitude. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to lodge. We highly recommend this house and we hope to stay here again on our next trip to the Berkshires. P.S. The location was great! It is convenient to all the recreational and cultural offerings of the Berkshires, but without the crowds and traffic of Lenox and Stockbridge. (E.g., we didn't realize it at the time, but it's much more convenient for Tanglewood concerts because afterward you go in the opposite direction of the masses).

Nicely Appointed Farnhouse

It’s clear the owners have poured their hearts into renovating this lovely farmhouse that’s the perfect mix of modern and rustic charm. It’s close to skiing and Berkshires sights. The kitchen is well appointed for those who like to cook. Use of snowshoes were also a nice touch during this beast of a winter. Lovely place - highly recommend!

Lovely property--hosts treat you like family!

We had a wonderful four-day weekend at Knoll Rock. It's truly a showplace property. Everything antique that you would want antique, and everything brand-new that you'd want modern. The kitchen is a chef's dream, and all four bathrooms are spotless and beautifully finished. I was very impressed with the abundance Mai makes available--more towels than you could use, fantastic toiletries in the showers, spices in the pantry, and every chef's tool you could want in the kitchen. I've never rented a vacation property before that really felt like we were being welcomed like family. I cannot recommend Knoll Rock highly enough!
