Lovely spot

I love staying here. John and Jim have created a quiet, artsy spot in a beautiful meadow which feels far away from town but it isn’t. The apartment has everything you need and is so well taken care of- full of vintage vibes. You can see the care they put in their property as well and I love taking walks and sitting in the garden in the evenings. Can’t wait to return.

We enjoyed a relaxing few days in the Bamboo Cabin. The bed was comfy and the linen sheets were a treat. John (the host) was kind and amenable.

Great place to stay

Cute little place. Easy to find with hosts specific directions. Very quiet. Host told me about a plumbing issue discovered before we arrived and kept me updated on status of repair. We were only minimally inconvenienced. Would stay here again.

Lovely patio with nature views

While the listing highlights the "wet room" bath, the highlight for me was the beautiful view from the patio. The owners are creating a wonderful oasis off the back of their house. It was a treat to sit there in the morning and evening, watching the birds, including turkeys and admiring their attractive landscaping.

Tranquility

While there is easy access from the main routes, the world seems left behind as you turn into the driveway. Gardens, hardscapes, singing birds, dark skies for seeing the stars, and even an occasional bunny add to a sense of calm. The hospitality of our hosts, the room design, and the decor all contributed to a peaceful experience, while still being close to shops, restaurants and galleries. Thank you. Marc and Gail

Great Place for a Getaway

My stay was amazing! The apartment is clean, quiet and comfortable, and John provided some great restaurant ideas. The chairs are super comfortable, and the soaking tub is great for relaxing. I can't wait to come back in the summer, because the outfoor seating areas look like they'll be amazing when the weather is nicer.

Warm and comfy!!

The apartment was perfect for our needs! Well appointed and, my personal favorite, has GREAT reading lamps on both sides of the bed! While it doesn’t necessarily impact your stay, the apartment has been outfitted with gorgeous doors on the large closet and it felt really nice to know that the owners care about making the space very special. Having the owner on site was a big plus for us as I left my key about 20 minutes away and they kindly let me in saving me a long round trip! We stayed in late December, so were unable to use much of the outdoor space, but hope to return and enjoy the gardens and beautiful views. I only gave three stars in the “accuracy of listing” category, but this was entirely due to inaccurate information included by VRBO, and NOT the owners, who are extremely honest and fair.

Great Getaway

Not luxurious, but a clean, comfortable, quiet cottage on two mostly-mowed grassy acres. Great linens and a very comfortable queen bed. The owners, Jim and John, are friendly and helpful but never intrusive. Their dog Toffee was a perfect companion to our mini-goldendoodle Ollie, and they enjoyed daily romps around the property. Easy drive to downtown N’hampton. Would definitely stay with these folks again, but would request the bigger unit next time. Perfect spot for a western Mass base or just a relaxed, laid back vacation.

A very special place

The best short term rental I've ever had. Down home and well set-up. A great sense of privacy and very beautiful grounds. I had a bunny grazing outside my back door & birds! Singin' their little hearts out. Where I live there's lots of crows croaking but these birds sang beautifully, not a croak to be heard. Beautiful trees, a patch of forest and far enough from the road to keep traffic noise down. They have a lovely garden & shared their bounty with me. Fantastic hosts! I was dealing with a problem & they were incredibly helpful. While I was there a beautiful rock wall was created right outside my window, not a trace of disturbance--they were very good about that--but very cool to be able to watch. If you like rocks that's an extra bonus, lots of rocks around including very cool looking fossils.
