About this property

kimball upstairs: Private Elegant 2 Bedroom Close To Everything In The Valley

( please be aware there is a 2 night minimum for Friday and Saturday night)

This is a fully furnished private home attached to our farmhouse. The best place you'll stay away from home where we've thought of what makes a stay nice like comfortable beds,nice sheets, wifi and privacy. Large enough for a family to spread out - even a bonus 3 season porch, but cozy enough for 2. Lots to do in the Amherst area with the 5 colleges. A great New England getaway or perfect for visiting faculty. One bedroom with king sized sleigh bed, second bedroom (accessible thru the first) has 2 twin sleigh beds - one is an adjustable bed for those that need just right position to sleep well), full size kitchen, extra big bathroom with walk in shower and tub/shower. Room enough for everyone to get ready for an event or a cozy stay in. There's also a bonus 3 season porch for extra room to spread out on the loveseat or oversized recliner. The living room has a big tv and comfy furniture for watching a show or reading. (Please note a 2 night minimum for Friday and Saturday )

Perfect stay

My wife and I stayed in the upper apartment for 2 nights. The place was perfect in every aspect. It was clean, quiet and well equipped. Beds were comfortable and it was close the UMASS. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Wonderful stay near Amherst College

We were in Amherst to watch college baseball. The place was very close to the college, super comfortable and well stocked. Communication with the owner was great and we greatly appreciated the complimentary snacks, including eggs and oatmeal for breakfast. We hope to come back next year. Thank you!

Great place to stay

This is a very convenient, quiet, comfortable place to stay if you are visiting in the Amherst area. Really had everything you would need in the way of supplies, had great beds, plus snacks in the fridge which was much appreciated on our arrival. The hosts are very accommodating and couldn’t have been nicer (thank you, Lee!) Would definitely stay again.

Perfect place for a stay

Exactly what you see is what you get! Cute place on farm like setting. Beds are comfortable and most anything you need is there from fans, pack and plays, and a high chair. Lee provided some fresh eggs, cranberry bread, and fresh butter. Looking to stay again next year when my daughter graduates!

Great rental in quiet pleasant setting!

We were just coming into the area for a one night stay, but this rental was the perfect option. In a quiet rural setting just outside Amherst with plenty of room to spread out and very comfortable beds for all. Hosts were very good at communicating and instructions were clear. Would definitely stay here again...5 star rating!

Spacious, clean, cool (we visited at the tail end of a heatwave), quiet; comfortable beds. The pictures don't do it justice. Loved the snacks in the fridge especially the homemade sweet bread. You can have breakfast and snacks in the kitchen (coffee, tea, milk, oatmeal, bread, fruit, eggs are provided), but we went down the street to a nice cafe. Also nearby is beautiful Puffers Pond for relaxing and swimming.

About the host

Hosted by Lee kimball

Host profile image
I grew up in the farmhouse, moved to a nearby town for a time a moved back 15 years ago with my husband Bill and 2 children. I've lived elsewhere an travelled a bit but always enjoyed our unique New England town. We're proud to be inclusive - there's something for everyone here. With the 5 colleges there is plenty to do from biking to concerts and museums and sporting events. I am a pharmacist and work full time but I'm a real home body that enjoys gardening and fixer upper projects.
Bill is a self employed plumber who raises pheasants and chukar partridge in the late spring thru fall. Bill is an avid hunter and fresh water fisherman.

Why they chose this property

My family has lived and farmed here for 3 generations, my grandfather and father had Leonard Egg farm and Bill is carrying on the tradition with pheasants and chukar partridge. Our rental space is a separate residence attached to the farmhouse.

What makes this property unique

The home away space is casual yet serene. We are close to all the valley has to offer. 5 minute drive to UMass,Amherst,Hampshire, 15 min to Mt Holyoke,Smith.
Our neighborhood has a nice mix of young and not so young to keep things active. Just a two minute walk to the Robert Frost trail ( one way to Puffers pond and the other to the swimming hole under the bridge. Just a 2 minute walk to the Cushman store for light groceries or a pastry or sandwich. 5 minute drive to laundry,pizza,playground(s),bank,barber,convenience store,breakfast,market.
