Had a great experience camping at the Beech House. Michael gave a very thorough overview before we arrived so everything from finding the place, to making the bed, and even having a refreshing outdoor shower were easy to do. Would definitely recommend this spot and stay here again without question. Thanks!

The Beech House
We loved this site! The “triangle house” as our 3 year old lovingly called it was spacious enough to comfortably fit a family of 3 and a 100lb dog. Our son loved the hammock and basketball hoop and loved exploring around the property. We would definitely recommend this spot!

good spot for peace and quiet. A upgrade from camping, but still the feel of being in nature and and making do with minimal amenities.

Awesome spot! Site was as-advertised, pretty bare bones but the A-frame was very cozy over a rainy weekend. Easy access and great proximity to hiking and North Adams.

This was a nice spot to retreat and recharge. I stayed for four nights in April and was grateful to have heat in the evenings! The hammock setup and picnic table made it wonderful to spend the days outside with the trees and the birds.
The path entrance/where to park was clearly marked on the road, and Michael was super communicative throughout.
For any HSPs, it's not very far from the road, so know that you can still see/hear cars when they go by from camp (though infrequently). There were some shots from various neighbors on different days, but nothing excessive. So, you're quietly tucked away, but not in the backcountry. ;)

We liked the seclusion. We were alone in the woods, while only being two minutes to the car and road. Out was nice having the A- frame, table, chairs so we didn't have to bring all our gear.

Michael was very communicative ahead of time and gave clear instructions to find the property and anything needed.

This was one of our favorite hip camp locations we visited. When they said private, they meant it! It's less than a minute walk from the parking area and has everything you could ever need; charging stations, picnic table, fire pit, recommendations, heat, you name it! Our favorite was the cute little basketball hoop because we are children at heart. Michael was also an incredible host who communicated with us well and left clear, easy to follow instructions. You have the option to purchase firewood from him or you can go into town and get some from local stores. It is also nearby many trails, beautiful scenery, coffee shops, and of course the beautiful North Adams. If you're looking for a truly private serene getaway, this is the spot for you.

Comfy and clean and the A frame cabin was delightful - secluded but easy to get to, and close to some great trails in the State Forest. We stayed here to be close to MassMoCA for a show, and it was very convenient to North Adams with all the city has to offer. Michael was very helpful host. We absolutely will be back!

We loved camping here! Perfectly secluded but not too far of a walk from the road. The bed is very comfortable and Michael even provides the necessities such as trash bags, toilet paper, wipes, even a blue tooth speaker! I would definitely stay here again, thank you for having us!

It was really easy to reach yet it felt so remote, so pristine. The fire pit was the kid’s favorite and is both good to warm up and for some cooking altough there’s a gas stove as well. All in all a wonderful place in the woods.

Michael’s place was incredible! Was there for a week! So secluded from people, but only two minutes walking distance so it didn’t feel too secluded! The electric batteries were a nice edition and the outdoor space was set up beautifully with lights and picnic tables and chairs for hanging out. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at the Berkshire Beech House! It is truly the perfect balance of feeling like you are out in the woods, without being too far away from civilization/ great activities. The A-frame is cozy and the beds are very comfortable. This is definitely a step up from tent camping! We appreciated having access to a picnic table, chairs, camp stove, fire pit, and hammock for some additional comforts and conveniences. There is enough electricity to power lights and to charge devices— this was also nice. Overall I would absolutely recommend staying at this camp. My husband and I are already talking about returning in the future, we enjoyed it so much.

Michael has a great campsite setup although I would recommend hanging a tarp over the picnic table in case of rain. The campsite feels secluded but too far from civilization. There are some great hikes and water holes in the area so bring a bathing suit then come back to dinner by the bonfire. Overall it was great time and would comeback again !

The Beech House was such an amazing place of tranquility and peace. It was the perfect getaway to be essentially off-grid, but without feeling far from essentials if/when needed.
The lush forest surrounding the cabin provided a plethora of flora and faun - I loved falling asleep to nothing but crickets or the patter of raindrops, and waking to birdsong and sunlight trickling into the room. And the surrounding areas were readily accessible, and equally as scenic and picturesque.
The heater worked great on a chilly night, or after a cold shower haha. It kept me nice and warm when I needed it. The river downhill was a nice place to dip my toes in on a hot sunny day, too.
Michael was an exceptional host; he provided useful information and answers to any questions I had, both before and during my trip. Communication was simple, easy, and very responsive, which I really appreciated.
10/10 would recommend. Definitely a place I want to revisit!

Great spot in a quiet area of western Mass. Enjoyed exploring the Monroe State Forest just down the road.

This place is a must stay! Gorgeous area with just the right amount of seclusion. We were only about 20 minutes from good food and Mass Moca while also having a wonderful time away in the forest. The A frame was cozy and filled with many extra amenities. I will be recommending this campsite to many many people.

A beautiful spot to go camping when you feel like having a solid roof over your head and a real bed! Speaking of beds, the one in the A frame was extremely comfortable, honestly one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on on a trip. If you’re just beginning to explore camping and haven’t quite acquired all of the tools you’ll need, or if you just don’t feel like bringing all of that stuff, the cabin is well stocked for a nice weekend trip. It was very peaceful and we heard lots of birds chirping every morning. North Adam’s is close by and it’s worth checking out the museum MASS MoCA if you’re there. We will definitely be back!

Awesome place, nearly forgot to right a review but the place was so good there’s no way I’d leave it without a review. Way better than expected. Highly recommend, will definitely be visiting again sometime ! Way more goodies than expected.. the place is a mini palace within itself. Has everything needed !

Instructions were very clear and Mike was extremely helpful and prompt in answering any questions I had. I camped there with about a foot of snow on the ground and loved the whole experience that this site has to offer and just how quiet it is in the middle of winter. There are also some really good restaurants in the surrounding towns for foodies as well.

The structure is fantastic and has everything you need for a cozy stay in the woods. There are other properties nearby but far enough that they are out of sight. The walk from the road to the cabin is short & well marked.

A beautiful cabin nestled in the woods—a perfect place to simply 'be.' The cabin is a wonderful example of minimalism, offering the most important things you need without excess. The host, Michael, is incredibly attentive and, more importantly, patient with questions (thanks for putting up with mine, Michael!). For any potential needs, he kindly directed me to nearby places, offering a sort of concierge service that added to the experience.

The cabin is in a great, completely secluded location. It has all the necessary amenities, and the host ensures that guests feel warm and welcomed. I will definitely book it again in the future. There are no tips or caution notes, as everything is perfect.
