( please be aware there is a 2 night minimum for Friday and saturday nights)
This is our second rental property located downstairs from our first. We've taken great care to make this an airy yet cozy space. Your space is completely private with everything you could want in a fully furnished apartment close to everything yet peaceful and homey. Our space is designed with you in mind - comfortable beds and plush towels and a full kitchen for snacks or meals. We provide snacks in the fridge on arrival - some kind of bread or fruit or granola bars or all of the above. We provide the things we always wish we had when we go away like paper towels and butter and salt and pepper and a few eggs and a real refrigerator. The wifi is fast and the tv is big and there's a reading nook for a little resting spot. We enjoy hosting couples and families and have met some really nice people and it shows in our reviews. We are very kid friendly with a swingset and sandpile in the front yard. There are several playgrounds within a 5 minute drive. Please note a 2 night minimum for Friday and Saturday .

We really enjoyed our stay - it was charming that this property is on a farm, my baby daughter loved the chickens in the yard. Lee was very generous with us and we loved the farm-fresh eggs for breakfast.
Clean and comfortable property! Perfect for visiting the Amherst area. It was easy to get to the Dickinson House and the Eric Carle Museum. Would definitely stay again.
Staying here was lovely. The place has everything that you need: sheets, towels, and even toiletries if you should forget anything. The owners were nice enough to leave eggs, fruit, and oatmeal, so I didn't need to go out for breakfast. The bed was comfy and it was very quiet. Would stay here again!
My wife and I were only there for one night but will definitely stay at this property again in the future, communication was quick and friendly and the apartment was clean and cozy!!!
Our stay was great. The space was comfortable and cozy. Was nice to have a kitchen to cook a little and they included fresh eggs with other snacks to make it welcoming.
The hosts of this property were very responsive even before my arrival, answering questions quickly. The property is easy to access and walking distance from a lovely breakfast spot/market. Their thoughtfulness in leaving snacks for travelers was a lovely touch. It felt like a home away from home -- clean, warm and comfortable!
Great, quiet and centralized location to explore Amherst and surroundings.
Check in was super easy, apartment was clean and comfy. Didn’t get to meet Lee but she was wonderful communicating with. She also left us some welcoming goodies :) Would stay there again.
We were in town for a family celebration. The space allowed us to spread out and relax. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hosts left snacks in the fridge when we checked in. It’s clean, nicely appointed, and the beds were super comfortable.
Enjoyed our stay in this quiet and comfortable basement apartment. Had everything you would need, including a few food items which were much appreciated. Would stay again.
Apartment was lovely with many thoughtful extras including night light, signs, delicious snacks, an exceptionally comfortable bed, cozy living room, and well appointed kitchen.

Very nice apartment. It appears to be newly renovated. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was nice and well equipped. It was clean and came with bedding and towels. They even had some snacks and some breakfast food in the refrigerator. I would definitely stay here again.
Lovely 2 bedroom in Cushman has everything you need
There are steps down to this convenient, functional apartment that functioned as the hub for our 2 day stay. Just a few minutes walk to the nearby Cushman market and cafe for essential sustenance. Lee is a great host and quick to field any questions.

The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We chose to sleep on the couch rather than the tiny room with a sheet curtain hiding the bulkhead stairs 😏
Wonderful apt. Very clean with many amenities including breakfast food and snacks which added a nice touch. Was concerned about it being a basement apartment but hardly noticeable when you’re inside. This one is a keeper for sure. Thank you to the Kimballs for allowing us to enter early.
Lower level apartment was very well maintained, very well stocked (scissors, sewing kit, batteries, cleaning supplies, fully supplied kitchen (FYI coffee maker was a Kuerig with fillable filters), even homemade fruit bread, butter, eggs, and fruit in the fridge upon arrival!) Met owner and he was super nice, explaining how to easily get to the 21+ miles of hiking trails behind the property. Very close to Mullins center but far enough removed to ensure quiet, peaceful evenings. Will rent again next year if Convention lands in Mullins center again.

About the host
Hosted by Lee kimball
We are Lee and Bill Kimball. Lee's family has lived here for 3 generations when it was Leonard Egg farm. Bill carries on the farming tradition part time raising pheasants and chukkar partridge during the spring and summmer. We like Amherst for it's culture and diversity and contemporary feel while remaining a New England college town and farm area. We are proud of the inclusive nature of the valley.
Why they chose this property
We are located in North Amherst, just a 7 minute drive to town but quiet and peaceful. There is a cafe down the street and a nature trail to Puffers pond. Great area for hiking and biking and a short ride to all the valley has to offer.
