The New York Times:

"An entire trip could be rewardingly mapped with this fat, oversized paperback. For the stay-at-homes, THE BERKSHIRE COTTAGES is the next best thing to being there."

Publisher's Weekly:

"The lifestyle of an aristocratic era comes alive...in a highly readable and enjoyable style...This journey through the past covers the lifestyle of an aristocratic era, complete with grandeur, social etiquette and discrimination among classes."

New York Magazine Best Bets:

"Owens documents Berkshire history with delightfully gossipy tales of the cottages and their inhabitants and with historic photos of the opulent interiors."

Kirkus:

"Owens doesn't leave anyone out of her analysis of cottage life. There is an 'Upstairs, Downstairs' flavor."

The Berkshire Eagle:

"The Berkshire Cottages is the work of a dedicated fact finder. Owens captures the facts and the flavor of the Gilded Age in The Berkshires. The lives of the movers and shakers of 100 years ago are till - maybe endlessly - interesting."

Library Journal:

"The book is fun...recommended."
