We had a wonderful time visiting the Chalet. The property was beautiful and our little dogs had so much fun exploring. The house was comfy and cozy and we would love to stay again. Thank you Hannah for being a great host.
My family of 5 really enjoyed our time here. The inside was clean and comfortable. The outside space was great as well. My family enjoyed spending time outside at night by the fire. There is also a great little hiking trail right off the back of the property. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Ashfield.
Great house in an unusually lovely place: herb and flower gardens, hummingbirds, good hiking trail from the backyard, 6 minutes to Ashfield Lake for swimming - watch for the bald eagle that flies over the lake - ice cream within walking distance, fresh corn…the place is just perfect.
We loved this house . Beautiful, clean, well-stocked, lots of original art and house plants, great energy, very comfortable beds, close to some sweet hikes and waterways. We would love to stay here again!
We were all very rested and relaxed. We enjoyed the beautiful spaces to sit and enjoy each other’s company. The chalet, flowers and setting
made a terrific base to come and go from as we celebrated a family wedding.
Perfect spot for a girls get away. We came to the area to see a show at the Treehouse in Deerfield and would return just to stay at the house again. Hannah was amazing and communicative and her dog Tilly was just an absolute peach!
What a lovely setting to share with my family. Quiet, charming, clean, and comfortable with a fantastic host (whom I never officially me), but who was there at a moments notice. Thank you Hannah for a lovely stay. Will come back again someday.
We had a lovely stay and Hannah was a wonderful host. The house is picturesque and we watched snow fall every morning through the living room windows. My daughter played out in the snow and loved seeing the goats in the barn. It was a quick drive to Berkshires East for a ski weekend. Would stay again!
Great spot for a friends' getaway! The house is spacious with a bright, big living room perfect for gatherings. The location is stunning, nestled in a beautiful area with a hiking trail right in the backyard. Plus, there are interesting places to visit nearby like Historic Deerfield and Shelburne Falls. The only downside was some machinery noise from the first floor, especially at night. Overall, a lovely stay!

Thanks for staying, Stas! The noise is the furnace keeping the house warm :)
Hannah's place was spectacular. It was just the right combination of plugged in and unplugged. We loved the fact that we could come inside into a climate controlled house and also be so close to swimming, falls and outdoor play. Hannah stocked the house with all the necessary amenities including adequate cleaning supplies to make sure we could tidy up after our 3 & 5 year old. Great jumping off point for Ashfield Lake, Chapel Falls, and slightly farther jaunts to the Holyoke Children's Museum and Look Park. Perfect stay to being our pup and let her enjoy the outdoor hiking and water nearby. Ten out of ten, would recommend!

Thank you for staying, Erin! Your always welcome if you're in the area again.
Hannah’s home is incredibly warm and welcoming. The natural light and beautiful plants enhance the beauty. The wraparound deck is a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee with the birds or observe the multitude of stars in the evening. The beds are cozy and comfortable! We had the extra bonus on seeing newborn goats during our visit - they were very cute! Hannah was a great communicator and willing to help in any way. I highly recommend this location.
Despite the great reviews, I was still surprised with how fantastic this home was. Everyone in the family commented on how nice everything was. The home and the location were both beautiful. Everything was meticulously prepared and extremely well-appointed. Instructions and information were clear and abundant. We were very comfortable (I didn't try all the beds, but the one I slept in was wonderful!) We were about 30 minutes from everything we needed to access. Thanks for a lovely time!

Thanks, Deborah! I am glad you enjoyed your stay :)
My family of 5, plus a niece and her partner, (and our two dogs) rented this VRBO for the weekend to attend and celebrate my son's graduation from UMass. There was plenty of space and beds for everyone, and the house was beautiful. Lots of plants and very nicely decorated. There is also a nice trail leading from the back of the house up a hill if you like to walk/hike. Definitely check for ticks when you return though. We brought crates for the dogs so they wouldn't go on the furniture/beds while we were gone or sleeping, which worked out fine. The yard is not fenced in, but you can set up barriers on the (expansive) porch ends, so the dogs can go outside to sun.Hannah was very communicative. She gave me recommendations in advance for dinner places to celebrate my son's graduation, and she got back to me promptly when I had questions while there. The beds were comfortable, the curtains in the bedrooms were dark enough, and the showers were hot enough. One of the futons was in a loft area at the top of the stairs and was not sheilded from the morning light. The kitchen was well appointed and also had some spices as well as teas and coffees.Would definitely recommend this house. Wish we could have stayed there for a couple of extra days.

Thank you for your detailed and kind review, Lucie! Wish you could have stayed longer, too. Glad you got to enjoy it during your son's graduation weekend. - Hannah
We absolutely loved our stay at the Sunny Chalet in Ashfield! Hannah the host is highly communicative & supportive, & her herbal business on the property is sublime (definitely partake of the teas!). We gathered a small collection of family members to celebrate an 80th birthday and our two teens and 4 adults (40s-80) were all beautifully comfortable in the equisite home. Every space is provisioned thoughtfully and enhanced with gorgeous plants and artwork. Whether the weather is stormy or clear, the beauty of nature is visible all around in every comfortable room and the wrap-around deck is delightful. It would have been good to understand from the main Vrbo listing that A/C is in the main space & upstairs master bedroom but not in the other bedrooms (which do have fans!), and that laundry is only available for longer stays, but those slight hiccups were nothing compared to the overall care and beauty of the home, property, and attentive host communication. Plus Ashfield is awesome generally, and the local beach is our favorite & such a short drive from the house! We will definitely return.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Did not meet expectations
First of all we didn’t have heat or hot water until noon on our second day there.
The owner didn’t get back to us until several hours after reaching out.
Which is why I had to reach out to VRBO.
No one could shower.
Thank god there was a fireplace so we were able to keep warm until it was fixed, which was done so by us.
Second, I specifically contacted the owner regarding internet and if the WiFi was good so we could bring a fire stick to watch football for the day on Sunday. The owner responded yes, internet is good, but neglected to inform me that they did not have a television.
Also, there were many dirty dishes, pots and pans.
Very disappointed with our stay.

I’m sorry to hear your disappointments, Melissa. If I had known there was no heat or hot water I would have been there immediately and sent a repair person but you did not inform me until the following day. I would have taken action if I had known, of course. I’ve never had that happen before and I’m so sorry! The TV is upstairs in the bedroom- did you not see it? And for the unclean pots, I will let the cleaner know this feedback. Thank you. -Hannah
We had a wedding within 20 minutes from this property and decided to do a VRBO for my wife, two children and their spouses versus the hotel thing. This home was exactly what we were looking for to relax, cook, grille and sit around an outdoor fire for laughter and fun. The home had a master bed with bath up along with a loft area with another bed, which which was not needed. The main level had 2 bedrooms and both were basically identical with a full bath in the main hallway. We took advantage of the wood stove in the main living area and that kept things warm throughout our stay. It was a cool weekend in November so we did not sit out on the exterior upper deck that overlooks natures offerings, but this would be a nice setting in warmer weather. We did sit around the outdoor firepit, which was a metal/steel unit versus a man made rock or block wall type. The kitchen was adequate for our purposes considering a quick 2 night visit. This property is certainly not going to meet many folks standards who are looking to be somewhat pampered and used to more finer, polished settings/surroundings. We do travel often as a family and would want and expect more upgrades in many setting too. But this was perfect for our family considering the location and lack of alternatives in the area. The area has little to no cell phone reception and that was a hinderance at times, but the WIFI worked well. Hannah, the owner, was very responsive prior and during our visit.
