Hidden Gem

Our only regret was that we didn’t find this serene property until graduation time, otherwise we would have stayed here every time we visited our daughter in Northampton. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The outdoor property is gorgeous and full of wild life. The interior is very comfortable and tasteful Lou done.

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was cozy, very roomy, with plenty of room for good times with family. We particularly enjoyed the open feeling and big picture window looking out on the grounds. The hosts were so nice and take great pride in their lovely home. We would definitely try to stay here again on our next visit to the area.

Great location. Beautiful spot.

The house has a warm, rustic feel. The units are separated enough to provide privacy and quiet. The kitchen is very well stocked and set up. The owners couldn’t be nicer. We liked it so much we already booked for next year.

Mountain View Retreat

My husband and I have stayed at Mountain View many times and always look forward to it and disappointed when there is not an opening when we want to visit Northampton. It is comfortable, a conveniently located, private, spacious, and quiet. If you enjoy large windows with views of the MA mountains, this is the place for you.

A Hidden Sanctuary

The expansive view of this lodging was an unexpected surprise as was the warmth of the inviting kitchen and the book laden living room. There is a food co-op close by and downtown Northampton is not far away.The host was gracious and helpful and knowing that he was one floor below was a comfort to this solo traveler. If you want privacy, quiet, and peace, this location has it all.

Ideal location

Great getaway place that is off the main road and very quiet but only minutes from food, grocery, dispensaries, whatever you may need. Kitchen has pots, pans utensils and dishwasher. John is immediately responsive to texts. The only cons are the very thin bath towels and shower curtain that doesn’t completely cover the shower. Would definitely stay again

Such a Perfect Spot!

Stayed in Mountainview while my daughter attended a dance workshop for the week. The beds, sheets, and pillows we’re comfortable. We stayed during a very humid heat wave, and the two mini splits in the bedrooms were sufficient to cool off the entire living space. The owners are on site and available for questions, but also gave us privacy and space. They offered vegetables and herbs from their gardens. There are many outdoor seating areas to enjoy. The property is well off the road but easily accessible to the downtown and major routes. I would highly recommend staying here!

An oaisis of tranquility

Our too brief weekend in Easthampton was thoroughly enjoyable. It was just what we needed, quiet and serene. John and Jeff made us feel very welcome. Their dog ‘Leaf’ is a treasure and a delight. It was clean and bright and we didn’t need for anything. The library was chock full of books about architecture, Japanese gardens and all the classics of the culinary world. The kitchen was well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. The gardens were just starting to bud out and the patio was a wonderful place to read and enjoy the sun. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. John and Jeff have created a lovely oasis of tranquility in the mountains of Massachusetts.

Privelege and Peace

Staying at John and Jim's home was a privelege. Quietly located close to everywhere we needed to be., Fairgrounds, fun restaurants, shops, a Food Co-op. The home is spacious, thoughtfully furnished and decorated in a manner that felt personal to our hosts, willing to share with their guests for us to smile, dive in deep, or simply breathe. An inspiring garden, outdoor spaces with mountian views, all add to the sense of calm only nature provides. Cleanliness, quality of linens, attention to detail, and chef supplied kitchen wares all were part of this excellent property. My 14 year old daughter asked if we could come back . We were on the same page, and have booked for next year.

Fun time with kids

This place is very homey and has a great location for a visit to North Hampton and East Hampton area. There were a few minor inconveniences, especially during a very hot and muggy stay. First there is only two air conditioners in the bedroom, which meant that the living area and kitchen were very stifling at times even if you try to use fans to move the cold air from the bedrooms. second, the people sharing the House, did not tell me that the kitchen fan didn’t work, and when I turned it on when I was cooking on multiplications, they were quite invasive into the space. We were renting to tell me how loud it was for them. Again, this is something that should’ve been disclosed before we started because no one wants someone banging their doors or getting in their face about a loud sound that could’ve easily been prevented by telling us not to do it. Finally, the instructions for cleanup and trash, as well as towels, and linens were not quite clear so my suggestion is that they make a booklet with more detailed descriptions of what to do and where to put the trash and recycling.

Great hosts, beautiful place

This was a lovely rustic apartment overlooking a garden and meadow. They owners were chefs so the kitchen and the equipment actually function which is nice and not always true in other places. The owners live below and there is another unit rented next door, but the owners have taken a lot of care to soundproof the walls and create private outdoor spaces. I would absolutely stay again.

Serene with a convenient location.

My second time staying here for an annual Horse Show! Clean, quality furnishing, huge lawn, garden, parking. A sense of privacy but minutes from a large well stocked Co-op and minutes to downtown Northampton. A culture of quality, conservation, Food and the arts are expressed by the interior design and fit out. Grateful to have found this special place.
