About this property

Big farmhouse in the foothills of the Berkshires

Built in the early 1800s, our renovated farm house can accommodate a large group or gathering. This 1600 square foot home can keep everyone together: three large bedrooms upstairs and an optional fourth downstairs. Large backyard and deck made for outside fun. Two full bathrooms, laundry, large farm table with seating for 10, and a full kitchen. South Quarter House was designed for you to relax and enjoy the woodsy surroundings, with over 20 acres of hiking woods behind the house.

Our farm house, surrounding woods, and barn make a perfect setting for family get togethers and getaways. In winter, we have a pellet stove to make things cozy.

We live just down the road, with adjacent property to South Quarter House's back woods, so we are immediately available via phone or text. We're happy to check you in, make sure you have everything you need for your stay, offer suggestions for activities and food, and otherwise help you have the perfect stay.

South Quarter House is in a quiet neighborhood on a mountain road with no close neighbors except across the street. Westfield is 10 minutes away and offers everything for food, shopping, restaurants, drugstores, etc. Also in Westfield, Stanley Park is a popular spot for playgrounds, exercise, and a beautiful garden with impressive exhibits of roses, tulips, and more, depending on the season. In winter, Blandford Ski Area is nearby, and there are snow-shoeing options all around us.

*Note: all towels and bed linens, toilet paper, and kitchen basics are provided.

Selected this authentic 1860s home to share with my photographer daughter who has never been to New England, where I grew up. The house and neighborhood was excellent for Fall photography.

Everything was good. Loved the pellet stove although the house was very dry at night. The kitchen was okay but had too many duplicate grilling utensils and not much counter space. Parking was great. Loved walking around the neighborhood. The host was responsive and friendly throughout our communications.

Peaceful, quiet spot

Our stay here was perfect. The house was super clean and had all we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and even had sharp knives, which can be hard to come by in some places. The large dining table was perfect for dinner and games and the stove kept us toasty warm. The owners were just a text away and.very friendly!

Excellent Getaway

Great old farmhouse, on a quiet street with a very decent yard. Kitchen is well-equipped. Plenty of puzzles, games, and DVDs if you're stuck with a rainy day. Great place to unwind and reset. Would absolutely stay again.Location is convenient to hiking and very close to Westfield (many excellent local breweries in Westfield).
