Half Moon by AvantStay | 4BR Cabin w/ Large Deck & Yard

Kick back among the wooded hills of the Berkshires at Half Moon. The rustic exterior of this log cabin gives way to naturally chic spaces inside.

Contemporary decor and a colorful kitchen create the perfect atmosphere for playful connection at home, while the charming town of Great Barrington is just a ten-minute drive away with shopping, dining, and entertainment. Surrounded by trees and tucked at the end of a long private driveway, Half Moon is a woodsy retreat packed with style, privacy, and convenience.

Perfect Getaway
We had such a wonderful long weekend away that this home. Everything was exactly as pictured. Home was clean and so welcoming. Location was perfect for all that Great Barrington has to offer. The wraparound deck and fireplace made it all the more special. Communication was excellent and we got quick replies to any questions that came up. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily return.

Nice house
Nice and clean house. Needs a little touch up, you can see stains on the ceiling where roof was leaking. Deck’s rails were rough and it was easy to get splintered. The rest was perfect: clean sheets, towels, plenty of dishes We liked it very much

Perfect location near Butternut
Great place and great location. Had a few initial hiccups but property manager was very responsive and corrected/addressed them immediately. The place is really cool and was so nice to be so close to the mountain!

Great Property
The house was great and enough space for the four of us and 1 small dog. We’d love to come back to this place in the Spring or early fall for warmer weather too!

Great for a getaway
The space was very comfortable and very well equipped. Everything was clean. The beds were great and very comfortable! Loved the memory foam king bed in the large bedroom. Only one real disappointment was that the place was advertised as having two bedrooms with a king sized bed. However only the master bedroom is a king. The other bedroom actually is a full sized mattress - not a king. Some areas have a bit of wear and tear (cabinetry) but other than that a great place!!

Cabin in the woods
The cabin is perfect. It’s close to town but remote at the same time. It’s cozy and has all the amenities you may need. I don’t think there’s a better place to stay near Great Barrington.

50 Years
It was our 50 year wedding anniversary and we rented the house to sleep 6 adults and 3 kids. The size of the facility was perfect and the large deck and wooded surroundings gave us the exact environment we were looking for to mark our milestone with those most precious to us. The only suggestion I could make is the deck needs some upkeep (staining). We'll be back.
