October Visit
We loved the property! Our family, which included 2 very young grandchildren all felt comfortable in this historic home with 2 modern bathrooms. I loved the open kitchen and family rooms, and the original wide plank floors. Plus, we were happy to find toys to entertain the 3 year old. The owners were very gracious and responsive. Visitors should just be aware that the owners' unit shares a common wall with the house. Dog barking and sounds of their kitchen preparation were evident through the walls, as one might expect in an old house.

Lovely reunion on the river
Myself, my partner, and a few of our long-time friends from different cities met at this lovely home in Hawley for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The property is absolutely beautiful - lots of trees, flowers, and hummingbirds - but the star of the show was the river. We made the short walk down multiple times a day to cool off in the little pockets of water and loved it. We were super comfortable in the house and had everything we needed to cook lots of meals, grill, and relax in the yard (or inside when when it rained). We met the neighbor (and her horses!) and the owner's family and everyone was super helpful and friendly. Absolutely recommend staying here! We'll be back for sure.

Stayed for a couple nights as a family of 5. The home is old and charming New England experience. We loved the Chickley River in the backyard, we played in it everyday sometimes twice a day. The property location was perfect, near the activities we had planned (rafting, mountain coaster). The host was great, and communicated well.

Weekend Getaway
My family spent Fathers Day weekend here and had a blast! We didn’t even leave the property - relaxed in the yard, hiked nearby and played in the water. The farmhouse was so cozy and relaxing. Plenty of different areas to be together or spend quiet time alone. We all feel recharged!

Wonderful family stay
This house was a wonderful location for a 3-day, 3-generation family gathering after Christmas. There was plenty of room for indoor relaxing, a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen for eating, an expanse of snow for fun with a 5-year old on x-c skis (as well as nearby x-c trails), and a nice outdoor fire pit. We very much appreciated the high chair, portable crib, and the toys in the corner of the living room.

Farmhouse in Hawley
We really enjoyed our stay at Forge Hill Farm. The house worked out well as we had a nice day for hiking and a late Thanksgiving dinner that we cooked in the well stocked kitchen. Our poor rating of communication with property manager and check-in was due to Evolve not sending us critical information and is not a reflection of the quality of the house. The owner was very very helpful and responsive and helped us get into the house.

Horrible
Upon opening the front door the musty odor overwhelmed us. The temperature in the home was 63 degrees and remained that way throughout the night. Upon contacting the owner the next morning I was informed that they controlled the homes heat remotely. The homes heat had not been turned on despite the fact that the overnight temp was 42 degrees. In fact, the heat did not even function in the home. This contributed to a very unpleasant stay. Additionally, due to the cold temperature and the presence of black mold two members of our party had to be treated for sinus infections after our stay. Because we were so uncomfortable during our stay I reached out to Evolve/Vrbo however, there was an obvious lack of concern for our health and comfort and a satisfactory resolution could not be reached. I do not recommend this property!! The windows do not function, it is not in code with the Massachusetts Department of health regulations and entirely unsuitable especially if you have young children.

Great place for a family gathering and weekend getaway. Didn’t need to communicate with property owner much and they gave us our privacy, but always felt welcomed and they have the place stocked with all the right provisions and it’s a great home. Beautiful spot on the river.

Ski weekend
Have used vrbo before, the process is seamless. The owner was easily reachable and personable. We were 3 familys who were in town for a ski race our kids were competing in nearby. The house is as described no hidden gimmicks. The kitchen is nicely appointed with everything you could need. The 4 bedrooms gave us plenty of space for everyone, plenty of linens and towels for the entire party were provided. The living room is spacious and the wood burning stove came in handy. Would definitely stay again next ski race season.

This place was perfect for our group of ten. We were looking for a house in the country near Berkshire East ski resort and this house fit the bill, just 10 minutes from the mountain. The kids loved the rope swings and the river running through the back yard. The host was great, he answered all of our questions in a timely manner and had the house ready for our early arrival. There’s not much cell service out here so the wifi calling saved the day! It was priced affordably, we will definitely be back!
