My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Owl’s Nest- Caroline is an outstanding host, assisted by two dogs, Daisy and Eli, and two very gentle Alpacas, Sebastian and Peanut. Accommodations were charming and cozy, with tons of stars at night! Caroline communicates well, is responsive to any needs, and also had great suggestions for dining.

I thoroughly enjoyed my peaceful and relaxing two night stay at the Owl's Nest which is nestled in the scenic area close to Shelburne Falls. Caroline was a wonderful and proactive host who made efforts to ensure I had everything I needed and offered lots of recommendations on nearby activities and restaurants. After staying in hotels during my road trip, it was a treat to have a private, fully furnished apartment with a kitchen right below the main house.The highlight was interacting with Caroline's alpacas, Sebastian and Peanut. I told Caroline I was an animal lover and was still grieving the recent loss of my heart dog so she presented many opportunities for me to hand feed the alpacas apple slices and give them neck rubs all under the watchful eyes of her beautiful dog Daisy and handsome dog Eli.Such a fun and unique experience!

Marcia, It was such a treat to host you during your trip to New England. Clearly, with your love of animals, I felt like I had met a kindred spirit! Daisy and Eli both thought you were the BEST after bringing them those delicious treats! And Sebastian was especially thrilled to have a neck massage! The pictures you took of my "animal family" were spectacular! Thank you for staying here!

Wintry Alpaca Wonderland

I had such a lovely stay at the Owl's Nest! My short visit was also the visit of some real wintry weather, and Caroline stayed in close touch with me to ensure a safe arrival and cozy stay. Her incredibly warm welcome and country hospitality were terrific, and starting each morning with the dogs and alpacas was a country dream. I'll be going back for sure!

You were a real "trooper" in accepting the wintry weather that we had that curtailed some of your plans. Hopefully, if you visit again, the weather will be less problematic. Thank you for being such a kind and gracious guest!

I loved the rustic charm, woodsy area, proximity to UMass and beautiful Shelburne Falls. Comfortable and relaxing. I loved feeding the alpacas Peanut and Sebastien apples in the morning. Daisy (dog) was also super sweet. Great view of the stars also.

Perfect country retreat

Caroline was incredibly nice and great to talk to, and the alpacas were wonderful. The place was beautifully equipped and comfortable, and a perfect spot for two old friends to catch up with wine and food and nonstop conversation in front of the fire. It feels far from civilization but is actually quite close to Shelburne Falls.

We just absolutely loved our stay here. The flat itself is cozy, with a modern kitchen and a living room that's perfect for sitting and reading or chatting.The alpacas are delightful and you can feed them apple slices. There are also two beautiful dogs.And then there's Caroline, who owns the farm. She's a lovely person and gave us so many good tips about where to go and what to see. I would have completely missed the Bridge of Flowers, for instance, if she hasn't mentioned it.The farm is also close to a lot of interesting places -- we visited MassMOCA, and Raven Books in Shelbourne Falls, got delicious ice cream in Northampton and breakfast in Ashfield. Overall a delightful experience

A very pleasant stay!

The owner, Caroline, was very welcoming and always immediately responsive to any of my emails. She was a gracious hostess, helping us to know what was available in the area. The pictures really didn't do the place justice. The apartment was adorable and had such fun personality. Everything we needed was there. The setting was beautiful. Sitting outside, all you could here was nature. A lovely opportunity to relax and reset. And then there were Sebastian and Peanut, the alpacas. They visited regularly, charmed us into feeding them apples and were super fun. We would definitely make a return visit.

Cute Rural Hobby Farm

While the rain tried to keep us away, we came to stay a couple nights here, hoping for a nice weekend away to celebrate our first anniversary. We gambled on this place, even without any pictures of sleeping/living areas, because of the animals. Given of the setup of the rental area, an inlaw-style suite under the main living area and built into the side of a hill, however, it was plagued by a sense of damp: the smell was apparent upon arrival. In the host’s defense, she was fighting against about a week of solid rain, which couldn’t have helped. We were charmed by the countryside but left wanting for a tidier, more well-kept rental area. Overall, we enjoyed celebrating our anniversary, but this was a one-time visit.

Emily, I'm sorry that your visit was not satisfactory for you. I went out of my way to accommodate you even though you arrived two hours after the check in time. As I said when you arrived, it had been raining for two solid weeks and was very humid as well. I kept the dehumidifiers running 24/7 so that it would help with the humidity. Unfortunately, you did not communicate with me at all after your check in and when you left early, you did not inform me. I waited up until 1:00 a.m. because I was concerned about you. I would have appreciated it if you had the courtesy to let me know that you were leaving early. Fortunately, I have been blessed with guests who communicate well and have had mostly 5 star reviews. It is unfortunate that you did not communicate with me at all before you left early and went out of your way to write a negative review without giving me the opportunity to respond .while you were here.

Best Way to Spend New Year's Eve! Or Any Eve, Really!

5-Star Review for Caroline’s VRBO!!!My friend and I had the pleasure of spending a peaceful retreat at Caroline’s charming space over the course of a few days (which included New Year’s Eve), and it was truly a magical experience. Each morning we were greeted by Peanut and Sebastian (Caroline's alpacas) just outside our front door—a unique touch that made our stay unforgettable.Caroline’s home is the epitome of rustic coziness. The wood stove kept us warm and comfortable, while the well-equipped kitchen, complete with cast iron pans, allowed us to prepare delicious meals.In addition to the alpacas, we got to meet the rest of Caroline’s wonderful animal family, including her sweet pups Daisy and Eli, and her cat, Pumpkin. As animal lovers, this was an absolute joy.Caroline herself is a remarkable host—welcoming, attentive, and incredibly kind. Her warm personality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. For anyone seeking a serene getaway surrounded by nature and lovely animals, I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Caroline’s. It’s a haven of tranquility, and I can’t wait to return with more friends and family!

Visit in June

We enjoyed our visit to Conway. The animals were lovely and the owner kindly provided fruit to feed them and made sure that we had interactions with the alpacas. The rental unit is downstairs and could use a thorough cleaning and was musty after months of disuse due to Covid. The area has lots of wonderful towns to visit and the rental is located in a quiet location.

Sarah, I'm sorry that the apartment didn't live up to your expectations. From the first time that I met you, I had the impression that you were expecting the apartment to be upstairs which is clear from the description of the property, that it is not. Due to safety concerns of Covid, I have been very careful about thoroughly cleaning the apartment before and after guests have been there. As I recall, the weekend that you were there, it was rainy, and extremely hot and humid. Unfortunately, you did not keep the door shut which allowed the humidity and heat to enter the apartment. When humidity comes into an apartment and the dehumidifier is not emptied (which I do not believe you did), it creates a "musty" environment. Thankfully, I have not had any complaints from guests either before and after your visit about the condition of the apartment.

Enjoyable and interesting retreat

This place has a lot of personality. Caroline was a friendly and accomodating host. Meeting and feeding her two alpacas (Sebastian and Peanut) and her dog (Daisy) were a highlight of the trip. The apartment featured comfortable and attractive furnishings and decorations. The location, about a half hour from Northampton and 10 minutes from Shelburne Falls, makes this a great base for day outings in the area.
