This home was perfect for our recent family vacation. The home is wonderfully rustic and cozy, but spacious. Our host, Nancy, was very gracious, helpful and responsive to inquiries or contacts we made with her. The home is very kid-friendly, and we loved the lake views, the private dock, the lakefront location and the beach, which is a 3-minute walk away. Massive glass panes on the first floor provide a beautiful panoramic view of the water. The water was very clean and great for swimming. Little things matter. The house has plenty of 3-prong outlets, for instance, and several small fans. There are games, a ping pong table, a nice charcoal grill, a rowboat, a large canoe portable chairs for the outdoors, and fishing equipment. The house does not have WIFI, but our ATT phones got good reception and we brought our own ATT wireless hotspot, which worked great. There are ice cream shops, a putt putt golf course, a golf course, a general store, and a great coffee shop all within a 10 minute drive. We will be calling Nancy again next year about reserving a week. Our kids and grandkids can't wait to go back.

We have had a great time staying at David'a place. Evenings by the fire, hikes through the forest and nearby lakes, in close proximity to small cozy towns, - all together good place to enjoy a weekend getaway. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

If you happen to need to be in or around Ashfield, David's place is a great choice. It was still a little cold when we were there, but on a warmer night, he has a nice firepit available and a large attached deck to enjoy the trees and wildlife. The place is larger than the pictures show, but there is only one bedroom. I really don't have a negative thing to add. Very close to town (3 minutes?) and there are several great restaurants others have spoken about.

I am an artist and the place with the high ceiling and decoration fit right in with us. We felt comfortable, and welcomed. We also liked the kitchen decoration and the space in the living room.

What a perfect home away from home. David's place has all the comforts I would hope for in an Airbnb. It was clean, spacious, well curated and well kept. It was surprisingly easy to find in what felt like the depths of the woods and Ashfield offered many treasures like Chapel Falls and a great breakfast spot. Highly recommended.

The place was very comfortable and clean, would stay there again!

This is a lovely home and we enjoyed staying there. We loved elmer's for breakfast and the lake house for dinner.

Beautiful and quaint space, very artistic. Very quiet. Close to the lake, loved the pizza place nearby. Made for a relaxing girls getaway!

David was lovely, letting us stay just one night for a quick in and out on what is a very busy time in the 5 college area (we were visiting our daughter at Smith for family weekend). He was very responsive, welcoming and communicative and kept in touch with us the day of our arrival to let us know some last minute changes in the key pick up process (previous guests left with it, so we needed a Plan B). We arrived late at night in the rain, so didn't fully appreciate the beauty of the setting until we woke up the next morning. His recommendation of Elmer's for breakfast was spot on--we highly endorse it. The place has an artsy feel and was very charming. The master bed was very comfortable. There is an inflatable mattress--but my son was comfortable just bunking on the couch. We'd love to come back to explore the area more. Thank you David, for your hospitality and sharing your lovely get away with us!

We stayed at this house during our daughter's Commencement weekend. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place and a more gracious host. The location is very private, with a fantastic view of the hills and the forest from the deck. It is within an easy drive to Northampton and Amherst. There are lots of interesting places to explore nearby. The house is comfortable and clean. It was a great place for our small family gathering (under 20 people) to celebrate our daughter's graduation. Mary was very welcoming and accommodating with all of our requests (late check out, extra guests, bug spray). She even took our dog out when we were out all day for the commencement and offered us to use the vegetables from her vegetable garden. This place is wonderfully serene. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a cozy retreat.

We loved our stay here! The house is spacious with plenty of room. You can't beat the setting--the view out the back of the house was beautiful. We enjoyed walking through the woods and down the rural roads. There was so much privacy, which was perfect for our vacation away from the city. The house has a ton of character and the spiral staircase was so neat. We spent a lot of time hanging around the wood stove chatting and playing games that we brought with us. The kitchen was wonderfully large (with two sinks!) so it was easy for multiple people to help prep and cook meals. It was a huge plus that we could bring our pup, who also had a great time :) Mary was very helpful and communicative even though we didn't get a chance to meet her. We had no issues whatsoever with our stay and highly recommend this spot!!

Mary offered us a warm welcome. She was very kind and responsive when little things came up - coffee maker wasn't working so Mary bought us not one, but TWO replacements (drip and french press). She encouraged us to pick her beautiful wild flowers and use veggies from her garden. Overall, Mary was a wonderful host. We were already very familiar with the area, but Mary offered us great suggestions for places to eat and see - totally in line with what we already know and love about the area.

The views from the house were beautiful, with a great yard and a fantastic kitchen. We had lots of room for the 5 of us, and enjoyed cooking in the wonderful kitchen. Two of the bedrooms were quite large, but up some wooden steps.

BEAUTIFUL--EVEN BETTER THAN THE PICTURES! This retreat was more than a retreat. It was stunning. The guest studio is extremely pretty and pleasant, with a private retreat-like feel and very very comfortable. During my weekend I was able to work on my writing and take beautiful long walks when I needed a break, admire the sky, trees and pond from the studio and see occasional wildlife! As a city person I was thrilled to see: wild turkeys, beautiful deer, multicolored birds at the feeder and one night, a BOBCAT!!!!! (across the road) The host Mary left two books with trails so I was able to locate several trails. Advice: be picky about your choice of hikes--- some are spectacular and others are just hikes. Another plus was that I drank local milk, and consumed many other local things-- Ashfield is a delightful little town.

The house is beautiful, comfortable, clean and cozy. The gardens and pond are sublime; the property is on 50 acres far from the road so is extremely quiet and relaxing. The room is gorgeous and an amble size for work and lounging with a king size bed that is super comfortable. Mary was generous with information about the area and was very hospitable. And Ashfield is a incredibly cute town, classic old New England but with a wonderful seven day a week breakfast joint and a restaurant on the gorgeous town lake. I would highly recommend it.

Jackie was a very nice host to my son and I. We came to stay at her farmhouse in July. We were welcomed into her home with a cup of tea and interesting conversation. Our room was nicely decorated comfortable and quiet. I look forward to a return visit. Sarah

The interior of this house is beautifully furnished with antiques; morning coffee on the sunny porch is a delight; and Jacqueline goes out of her way to be welcoming and accommodating. The views of the surrounding farm fields is an added bonus.

It was so nice to stay with Jaqueline, she has an amazing place. If you need to get away from all city noise, thats the place to go. It was very interesting for both of us to talk with Jaqueline, she is a very interesting and warm person. Georg and Chansi

Jacqueline made us feel very welcome. The accomodations were lovely and she made us eggs in the morning. Her home is quite amazing, historic and eclectic. Jaqueline is also very interesting with her knowledge of the area and the arts, she played her mandolin and shared much information about the Ashfield area. Ashfield was celebrating their 250th anniversary. We would definitely return to her home.

I very much enjoyed staying in the Sage Room of Jackie's farmhouse. I was visiting my sister and her family, who live nearby, and decided what fun it would be to do airbnb during the visit. It *was* fun! I loved the room and adjoining bathroom with tub. The room is thoughtfully appointed, the lighting is just right, the bed comfy, and I found the vintage furnishings and the subdued colors very restful and soothing. A cozy and private space! I thank Jackie for creating this lovely retreat and offering it via airbnb. Also, I was lucky to be there when the moon was full, and it was simply heavenly to gaze at it across the open fields from Jackie's front porch. So quiet outside, so peaceful.

Jackie greeted us at the door and was very warm and welcoming, sharing some about herself and Ashfield as she showed us around the house. The house and room were as pictured (lovely) and it was a big plus having our own (updated) bathroom. Ashfield has one little restaurant (Elmer's) in town where we ate two breakfasts (fantastic) and had dinner one night (good). (Jackie made her spacious kitchen, and frig, totally available to us - we just preferred going out and being waited on.) This is a quiet, serene getaway (no wifi and little to no cell phone reception) and we would definitely go back! An addendum: We inadvertently left one of our bags behind and Jackie happily mailed it back to us.

Jacqueline welcomed me upon arrival and took the time to tour the outside gardens and provide information about the area. The room was as described and pictures are accurate. I was seeking a tranquil and peaceful experience and that is exactly what Jacqueline's wonderful farmhouse on a country road provides. The Sage room was comfortable and includes a private bath. I also appreciated Jacqueline's hospitality at breakfast on her lovely porch with vista of the Pioneer valley and hills. A short but wonderful visit.

Jacquelin was there to greet us and show us around. Her house is over 4 miles up from a main road--4 miles of beautiful trees and incredible hand-built stone walls, fields, cows and horses, etc. Jacqueline met us on the porch and led us in. Her house is fascinating, filled with Victorian antiques and creative displays of artifacts, art and all sorts of doodads. The Sage Room is beautiful and comfortable, and a ceiling fan kept it perfectly cool, even though the temperature outside was high. The room is decorated with period furniture, a comfortable bed, books, and some wonderful antique shoes. Jacqueline herself tells wonderful stories about the area and herself. She was welcoming and accommodating and caring. Her house is fascinating.

Great location just a mile away from Ashfield. The view of Apple Valley from the back porch is amazing. Evelyn was extremely welcoming; she waited up for us when we got in an hour later than originally planned. We were offered tea & coffee upon arrival and when we got up each morning. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to western Massachusetts!

Robin and Evelyn have a absolutely gorgeous home and a warm hearts to match. They were very welcoming; communicating with us the whole way, showed us around their adorable home (with an AMAZING back porch view with hummingbirds), and introduced us to their super friendly pups. They have a beautiful garden as well. The room and adjoining bathroom we spotless and very nicely decorated. My only complaint is that we couldn't spend more time there!

Robin & Evelyn & Sam were there to greet me, even tho I was later to arrive than I anticipated. They immediately made a cup of tea for me & invited me right in to chat & get acquainted. They were SO generous in opening their beautiful home to me. They were interested to hear about my daily adventures as I explored the area - and even baked me a BIRTHDAY CAKE when I "let it slip" that my birthday was coming up!! The location is stunning, & the room & bath really are a private little sanctuary. A wonderful, restorative weekend in The beautiful Berkshire hills!!

Robin communicated with us well before our scheduled arrival & made sure she would be home. She greeted us with iced tea and introduced us to their wonderful dogs. Made us feel right at home...

We came for a family reunion so my only complaint is we didn't have more time to hang out at this truly lovely home and enjoy the spectacular view from sunrise to sunset. Nina was a charming host but should we come again we hope to meet the women who have crafted this jewel.

Our stay at Robin and Evelyn's Airbnb was marvelous. We arrived after 10 pm and were greeted graciously. Our room and the adjoining bathroom were clean and very comfortable. Our hosts' home is beautiful and serene, with stunning views, and Robin and Evelyn are warm, welcoming, and lovely people who shared excellent ideas for local activities and restaurants. I recommend this Airbnb very highly, and hope to return again.

We loved coming to Robin's home. It was like being a part of the family, yet we had our own privacy. I look forward to revisiting!

Robin's home is welcoming and the location is so beautiful. I wish I could have stayed longer. Robin made sure that I was comfortable, and had a tour of the house. Thank you, Robin!

Gayle and Peter we excellent hosts. We did not spend a lot of time in the room or on the property because we were attending a wedding in the area, but we wish had more time to explore it was very beautiful. The room and bathroom was clean and comfortable and much larger than we expected. We stayed in a posh hotel in Boston the next day and our room at the Hotel was much smaller than our room in Ashfield. If you are looking for a quiet get away this is a great spot. We want to check out the pond house next time!

We had a fabulous stay at the cozy bedroom AND a night in the pond house. First, we spent 2 nights in the cozy bedroom and how comfortable it truly was! The description of the room and surroundings are accurate - but it's hard to describe how beautiful and magical their land feels, how there is so much attention to detail in the room including delicate fresh flowers, an uber-comfortable bed with killer bedding, the peace of the country-side, and such interesting books and art everywhere! This suited our needs just perfectly and she even set up an extra bistro table for us to have morning tea/coffee. One night we were surprised with warm freshly baked cookies - oh my! We were in the area to attend a music festival/celebration - and this was a perfect fit. Not to mention what a talented, interesting, and inspiring couple who have created the vision and magic therein and made us feel perfectly welcome. I feel the room and setting in the cozy bedroom are even nicer than the pictures seem. We were blessed to spend our last night in the pond house. What more can be said. Bliss. Deep inspiration. Magic. Profound natural beauty. Like I mentioned we came to the area for a festival but were so charmed, restored, and inspired by our AirBnB stay to boot! Thank you!

This was a comfy room with a nice bathroom across the hall. Just what we needed.

Gayle went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. I appreciated the little touches, like flowers and fruit in the room, too. And it's a stunning setting. Would definitely return.

Gayle and Peter are generous, thoughtful hosts. The property is beautiful. We will very much look forward to returning, and I give it the highest recommendation.

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

gayle is a great host -- the room is just as described -- a great place to stay if visiting ashfield

Beautiful spot. Soooo quiet. Room cozy and comfortable with great art on the walls. Hosts personified hospitable. I felt especially welcome, as Charlie (dog) greeted me enthusiastically but graciously every time I returned. I am looking for an excuse to come back.

My fiance and I stayed with Heather and Scott overnight during a quick weekend getaway in Western MA. The house was comfortable, cute, and easy to find. This was our first time having only a private room rather than the place to ourselves and we had some reservations about it, but our mind was put completely at ease when we arrived. Heather and Scott were super friendly and invited us into the backyard for a beer and a chat. They had great recommendations for food and attractions in the general area and gave us detailed directions to various places. They're the kind of hosts who do everything they can to make their guests comfortable, from calling a restaurant to check if it's open to stocking the bathroom with shampoo (which I'm glad they did!). We felt welcomed and right at home. The house is a short walk to Ashfield's points of interest (the lake, restaurants and shops) and a short drive to Shelburne Falls and other little towns. If you're looking for a quiet getaway in a cute village then this is the place to stay!

Heather was welcoming and our stay was very comfortable. She provided us with greet recommendations on local spots to eat and is a human GPS of the area. Highly recommend for anyone passing through.

Heather and Scott were wonderful. Upon our arrival, they immediately invited us to their backyard and conversation. We ended up chatting for such a long time that we missed dinner in the local town center. Heather and Scott were then gracious enough to invite us to dinner with them - they went above and beyond the definition of a good host and we had a wonderful time. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a nice stay in the Berkshires.

Our stay was very nice. Heather and Scott greeted us at the door when we arrived, we had a nice chat as they showed us the room and our private bath. Both were clean, private and comfortable. Enjoyed a brief visit and delicious cup of coffee the next morning before heading out. A very successful stay on all levels. Recommended.

Quiet yet convenient neighborhood. Walk to bakery, pizza and sandwich shops and gas station/convenient store. The lake and beach are also close by. You will also be pleasantly surprised by all the interesting finds in the local hardware store! The host and hostess are really friendly and helpful and went out of their way to introduce us to the local setting. Their house is nicely decorated and has many interesting books. We also had use of their kitchen and laundry facilities, making it a lovely "home away from home". We certainly look forward to our visit again next summer!

We felt very welcome with Heather and Scott. We did not have much time together due to the wedding we were going to and the hectic schedule of our hosts. However we had a nice conversation on the last day when we finally landed in the same place at the same time. We appreciated the ability to come and go as we needed. The location and room were ideal for us and reflected the Airbnb description. Thanks Heather and Scott.

We had a great stay at Molly's house in Plainfield. The location was perfect for our annual family get-together and the access to the pond and vegetable garden was wonderful. Molly responded very quickly to any questions I had during our weekend there. We didn't get a chance to take advantage of all the amenities (like the paddleboard!) but already plan on returning next year.

We had a great time . It was a perfect place to celebrate my birthday and completing my chemotherapy with my family and close friends. We relaxed by the fireplace and watched a movie . Walked down to the pond (a bit steep for me) but we all made it . Molly has thought of everything , wether you staying with an infant or just adults . Kitchen is well stocked with everything u need to cook . We felt rejuvenated and refreshed . We plan to go again and will highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quiet place away from home .

这是一个非常舒适的房子,塞进树林旁边的一个小湖。我们喜欢的和平与宁静,并能够在树林中走直接从房子。

Usually, Airbnb-verified photos lead to minor disappointment upon arrival because they make the space you're renting look just a bit too awesome. The opposite is true with Molly's home...they don't do the place justice. It starts with a dead-simple keyless entry code: no fumbling in the dark for a hidden key or struggling with a weird lockbox. Once inside, the home is very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of places to sleep and two gigantic bathrooms. There's a basement with a washer and dryer, sporting equipment and plenty of extra toilet paper and paper towels. The living room has a fireplace (and firewood), and a nice TV with a Roku for watching Netflix. It's all very well considered. But you don't rent this place for the interior, you rent it for the idyllic setting just outside the door. We spent almost the entire time at Molly's place just behind the house, fishing in Plainfield Pond, climbing the various rocks, and hiking along one of several trails in the immediate area. We occasionally would make the hike back up the hill to check on the brisket we smoked in the provided smoker or sausages cooked on the provided grill. Then we enjoyed our food in the screened gazebo. Pretty awesome. Our hard-to-please group of 8 couldn't have asked for more. Check it out for yourself.

Wonderful stay, wonderful place.

Definitely felt welcomed. Host was great. Directions to the place helpful. Stayed at house with my wife, five kids and our grandchild. Absolutely loved the house. Very comfortable. The kids did not want to leave. The grounds and lake are equally as inviting.

We had a great time at this spacious and comfortable house in the Berkshires. The house manager did a very thorough job of communicating with us beforehand and providing detailed guides covering house amenities, directions, and local places to eat and engage in activities. I would definitely recommend this venue to any prospective travelers.

Awesome situation, from the opposite view of the above photograph, overlooking a beautiful lake. Frozen to walk on when I was there (and to ice fish) probably to swim in in the summer. Many, many large comfortable beds. Highly recommended!

Jacqueline was very welcoming and her house is charming. I felt very comfortable in her home and because there was so much rain, she lit the wood stove. I felt cosy and happy to be in a place with so much history. She is very engaging and helpful with directions to the places I was going. This was the perfect getaway for a city girl.

Jacqueline was welcoming, helpful and very accommodating. She allowed us the extra space of a living room and thus my daughter could sleep on the couch. It made such a difference and was much more than the single room we paid for.

I was very happy to revisit Jackies home again, it is a lovely old house full of mystery and myth on a beautiful piece of land. From the porch a view of farmlands and big sky. Both Abbey and I had a very relaxing time just taking in the air and sleeping late in the morning.

We had a wonderful and relaxing time at Jacqueline's farmhouse. We stayed in the Oakleaf Room, which was very comfortable and had an attached private bathroom. Jacqueline was very welcoming and made us feel immediately at home. In the morning, we enjoyed a cup of tea and pleasant conversation with Jacqueline and her other guests while looking out over the beautiful views from the porch. We would love to stay there again next time we are in the area!

Jacqueline was a wonderful and accommodating host. She allowed us to store food in her fridge and even surprised us by leaving some breakfast! The Oak Leaf room was clean and comfortable and the entire house and property were just beautiful. It was a perfect escape from the city. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline's home.

I spent a long time researching where to stay in Ashfield and all that time was worth it. Jacqueline's farmhouse is redolent of a time gone by - a beautiful home perched on a high plateau of forest and fields, surrounded by flowers, birds and the quiet of this part of the Berkshires. The Oakleaf room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, soft linens, a bathroom with all the necessities and a really nice shower. The room adjoins a private "parlor" in which to relax. But even more welcoming than the accommodations, is Jacqueline, herself. She is the soul of this place and infuses her love of her home and the area into all the information she provides about places to go and things to see. I only wish I had had more time to spend talking with her over breakfast on the wide porch in the morning sun.

We loved everything about our stay in the Oakleaf room! Jacqueline was the most gracious host and made us feel right at home. Her property is breathtaking and surrounded by lilac trees. She even put some lilac in our room after I mentioned how much I love it...she was also very accommodating of our 3 month old baby. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

Jacqueline's home is a unique 1880s house in a rural area. Jacqueline made us feel very welcome, and pointed out the groundhogs and beautiful pheasant on the property. During our stay, my car broke down. Jacqueline went above and beyond by driving us to and from the next town – otherwise we would have been stranded. We also enjoyed conversations about music and the history of the area. This area has little to no mobile phone reception, and no wireless. So be sure to bring a physical map to navigate. Be sure to drive south from the north end of Jacqueline's road to get to the house. The road south of the property is dirt which was closed off at a farm when we got there (this was the route (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps gave us). Many thanks to Jacqueline for her hospitality and for helping us when we had car troubles!

What a beautiful place. If you want an old farmhouse at the end of the road in western MA, this is perfect. Joan is a wonderful host.

Joan's house is beautiful. It's warm, welcoming, and well stocked. We loved the tulip room: it's cozy, it gets great light, and offers a beautiful view into the woods. We had everything we needed, and Joan was really conscientious about making sure that we did. It was a pleasure to get to know Joan, and when our car got stuck in the snow she even drove us to retrieve it - beware in the snowy months, Joan's house is at the end of some windy roads - four wheel drive helps! But it was a great place to be snowed in, and we liked the fireplace and amazing tea collection. Thanks!

Joan and Erik provided a perfectly restful place in a beautiful setting. My kids are working nearby for Student Conservation Association, and I will certainly stay here again!

Gorgeous property in a quintessentially New England rural area. Joan and Erik were extremely kind. I loved the peace and quiet, and the down comforter with a flannel cover!

Joan was fantastic - I was able to book within 24 hours of arriving. I let her know what I planned to do -- Tanglewood, Clark, etc. -- and she let me know how far it was -- that it was a 45 minute drive. She also gave very detailed instructions, but I'm happy to note her place is on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps. I was able to arrive without any problems, even just before midnight. She had everything all ready. She is very warm, and I was happy to chat with her the next morning. It is a good base from which to visit places I was interested in. I was glad to have gotten the booking. I felt very comfortable. Additionally, I mentioned that I was allergic to cats, and she made sure to accommodate that request. She is very thoughtful and communicative, which is so much appreciated, given the short timing between booking and arrival!

House was well equipped and filled with eclectic of art and media befitting such a funky cool host. Cat Kira runs the show. Old house with lots of interesting nooks and crannies to review.

I felt just as welcome this time as I did two years ago. My regret is that we couldn't have spent more time there. In fact this time we were only there for eight hours, a pity because the house is beautiful, homey, and clean.

Wonderful location in the woods, quiet and peaceful. Joan made every effort to make our stay memorable and even walked us through the map to give us directions for next day. Totally recommend. Thanks, Joan.

The host, Rebecca, is amazing. She was there to greet us and show us around the house and the property as well as answer all of my questions. We immediately felt right at home and being just the two of us had tons of space. We were well provisioned and the area was absolutely beautiful. There is a great diner about 2 miles away and the house is located about a 10-15 minute drive to anything you could ever need I would highly recommend this listing if you are looking for a quiet getaway where you can watch the stars and leave it all behind.

Rebecca and Gabriel's place was a countryside oasis just 15 minutes from the city of Northampton - a quick and easy drive. It was a great place to recharge, watching birds in the backyard, sleeping in the very cozy queen sized bed, or enjoying the complimentary doughnuts and coffee that they provided. The house was even nicer than the photos and the hosts were warm and generous. If we ever find ourselves back in the area, we hope this house is available for us to stay!

Had a wonderful time here! We came up over the weekend for a wedding in the area, and just wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage was quiet and cozy and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. The surrounding lawn and trees made it feel very private and like the perfect place to disconnect. Rebecca was very easy to communicate with, and everything in the house was very clean and organized. Would definitely come back again.

I stayed at the house for a holiday weekend with my large group of friends for a getaway. We were so glad we did! The house is perfectly relaxing not just for the location in the countryside, but the flow and set up of the house. The outdoor seating area is large and can fit many for dinner or star gazing at night. The main room and kitchen is comfortable and was great for us to cook our meals at the house. There are plenty of sleeping options to fit a larger goup throughout the house. Whately is very charming itself but we ended up having such a relaxing time that we didn't leave the house much. Though I didn't meet Rebecca, she was very accomodating and left me plenty of instructions on the house. She also made sure we were comfortable throughout the stay and was flexible with me when we had a late departure. I would definitely return with family for another weekend getaway.

Rebecca and Gabriel's house and garden was so lovely. They were really helpful and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable and pleasant. The kids had great fun in the garden, and the location was perfect, with easy access to Northampton and Amherst. We would definitely recommend this and would happily return for another visit.

Rebecca met us at the house when we arrived to let us in, show us around and give us any necessary information. The house is adorable just like the description says. My only regret is that we weren't able to see the garden in bloom but that's because of the time of year we were there. The house was comfortable for four of us. The decor is very unique making the house very cozy. It was about half an hour away from the places we were visiting but all in all it was worth it to be in "our own" home and have the space to ourselves. We really enjoyed it. Thank you Rebecca and Gabe!

This was our first airbnb experience and we were very pleased. Everything was as described and Rebecca was very helpful with directions and information. Their lovely home was perfectly clean and well cared for. The bed was amazingly comfortable - better than some four star hotels! The rural setting was delightful - we saw a variety of species of birds and small wildlife. Location was perfect for us as we were visiting schools in the area. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for your hospitality!

We had a really stay at Rebecca and Gabriel's. The house is very cozy and comfortable and looks very much like the pictures. It's nicely decorated and well-equipped. The garden and yard are beautiful, again just as in the pictures. It's very close to Northampton, like 15 minutes or so, and we enjoyed going into the town to eat, walk around, etc. There's also a really nice farmstand a few minutes from the house that had very nice vegetables so we cooked two nights. Rebecca was extremely attentive and helpful for our whole visit. (Also, I was sleeping on the TV room futon in our group, and I found it to be very comfortable!)

The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We stayed at Gayle's lovely one-bedroom cottage during the Labor Day weekend as our last summer getaway and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The property is quietly nestled amongst leafy greens in Western Massachusetts neighboring miles of working farms, orchards, and corn fields. It is close enough to Interstate 91 and a pleasantly short drive to towns in southern Vermont along the Connecticut River. The style of the one-bedroom cottage is minimalist and functional. It was advertised on Airbnb as without a kitchen but Gayle and her husband, Peter, had kindly installed a new stove-top oven unit right before our arrival. She also went out of her way to let us use their BBQ grill, which we used to reward ourselves daily with big BBQ feasts after a long day of exploring the neighboring towns. We love the fresh local produce around the town! The property is nicely kept and very clean. It is tastefully decorated with artworks from Gayle and Peter, both accomplished artists. We particularly love the porch extended from the bedroom; starting every morning with fresh smell of woods and sound of chirping birds was exactly what we were looking for! Gayle's customer service is genuine and efficient from the initial point of our communication. She is very responsive of our emails and extremely flexible with our late arrival since we drove up from New York City on a Friday. She and Peter are also very knowledgeable of the area and are a great reference point for day trip ideas. The property is dog-friendly and our dog became good friend with Gayle’s dog, Charlie, who is one of the friendliest pets I have encountered. If you are looking for a rustic getaway like us from the hustle and bustle of big cities, Gayle’s property is perfect. It is absolutely serene here. Just let the Sound of Nature take you away.
