Our stay at the Cavalier Cottage Bed and Breakfast was absolutely perfect. No other words to describe it. My husband and I (and our 2 pups) are avid hikers. We traveled from NJ for a long anniversary weekend getaway to hike some of the State parks in the Berkshires. Not only is the cottage spotless, it is by far the nicest cottage we've ever stayed in. It is located on a very quiet road, literally in the middle of the woods. Our cell phones had no service (we didn't mind this at all as we were looking for an escape from the craziness of our busy lives) but Pat provides you with free Wi-Fi just in case you need to get in touch with the outside world.

Bonuses that we enjoyed:
- Pet friendly and no breed restrictions at all. We often find that hotels, cabins or cottages are not willing to accept our 65lb sweet rescue pit bull, let alone not charging us a ridiculous charge for having 2 pups. This was a blessing for us to find not only a cottage that accepts our pups but for them to have free range of the cottage. We were even able to leave them in the cottage while we went for dinner one night which is not allowed in most hotels/cabins/cottages, especially without a crate.
- Cleanliness of the entire cottage...and I mean spotless. The decor was perfect and the bathroom was very clean with on hand supplies just in case you forgot something (like I always do). They was plenty of organic shampoo and soaps for us to use.
- Access to yard for pups. We had access to the property so the pups could have free range to sniff around and do their business!
- Location to several State parks for hiking/adventure and Shelburne Falls. We hiked the Mohawk State Forest (you must get up to Todd Mountain...it is certainly not for casual hikers but it was amazing to be at the top and see the views!) and Savoy State Forest. Both were beautiful hikes during the beginning on peak Fall foliage season. We headed into town (a very short drive) for dinner one night which was very convenient. Shelburne Falls is a cute little town...make sure to check out the Bridge of Flowers.
- Quiet. Yes, for us this is a bonus. We live and work in fairly busy areas of New Jersey so for us to be in the middle of the woods was a pleasure.
- Free WiFi and Netflix along with regular cable (w/ HBO). This was a nice bonus to have at the end of a very long hiking day. We were able to rent a movie or just browse what was on T.V.
- Last but not least, Pat. Pat, the owner of Cavalier Cottage, is wonderful. She has several dogs, all of which are adorable!! She was very kind and welcomed my husband, me and our 2 pups with open arms. Even though she lives in the adjourning cottage with her pups, it was always so quiet. Pat truly made our stay an enjoyable one.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention Pat's delicious English scones and orange juice that she makes/sets out for you every morning for breakfast...these were a treat!

We were welcomed by Patricia and from the first moment knew it was the absolute right place for us. We travel with our dog, an integral part of our family. While she could not participate in the wedding festivities we had come in to the area to attend, we were able to leave Stella with the confidence that she was safe, comfortable and would be looked in on, if needed. Our accommodations, attached to Patricia's own home, were absolutely lovely. It was clean, welcoming and spacious. Stella made herself at home while we were away. The property is beautiful, private and simply one of the best experiences while traveling with our dog.

From our welcome to leaving, Pat the owner was great. She was welcoming, The cottage was appointed with ALL the amenities. Every detail down to to a cookie jar filled with treats for the dogs. Pat's fresh baked scones every morning and the good coffee in the cottage were the perfect way to start our day for our adventures. The quiet wooded setting and being able to walk our dogs on the dirt roads was great. We certainly will be returning in the future.

I booked the cottage for my fiancé and I when we went white water rafting at Zoar. As soon as I inquired about the weekend, Pat quickly responded. As soon as we pulled up to the cottage , we knew it would be a relaxing weekend. The cottage is located in a quiet, wooden area, perfect for taking a nice long walk. Pat was a wonderful host, that gave us our privacy the whole weekend. We loved waking up to warm scones, waiting for us out on the porch. As an added bonus we were able to bring our dog and received a discount at Zoar. We would definitely go back.
