Happy Maples!
Very cozy abode… well provisioned, but if you’re looking to make your own meals it isn’t set up for that (microwave, small frig are provided). The yard, deck and gardens were beautiful with the river behind them. Very quiet and peaceful. They have quite an extensive vinyl collection but the turntable was out of order - too bad!

Large Quirky Sunny Farmhouse Apartment
This private apartment is cute and quirky and cozy. It’s in a beautiful and quiet location with great amenities in Florence and a short drive to Northampton. The apartment is spacious and the bed was very comfortable. I would happily stay there again.

Northampton MA Downtown Townhouse close to Smith
We stayed 4 nights at Aisjah's beautiful rental for our daughter's wedding at Union Station Banquets. What a perfect location. Everything is within walking distance and yet the home is beautiful and quiet with gorgeous flowers all around. Absolutely spotless home that seems brand new; kitchen has new appliances and all the necessities and linens were plentiful and spotless. Bedrooms, living room and large full bathroom are upstairs while the kitchen and eating area are downstairs. Hope to have another opportunity to stay here!

Mill River Cottage (pet friendly!)
1,000 characters really limits the review I can leave for this INCREDIBLE Airbnb. The home was absolutely perfect. Extremely dog friendly, easy access to unload bags, private parking, beautiful landscaped yard with a fence thoughtfully designed even for tiny dogs to not make an escape. The beds were comfortable and every little amenity imaginable was available-heater in bathroom, flashlight for after dark poo pick ups, tick removers, bug spray, lists of dog friendly establishments provided…I could go on! The home is very safe and quiet and the hosts are friendly, kind and respectful. You can tell they put a lot of effort into running their Airbnb and we would love to stay here in the future!

Serene Modern Country Cottage near Amherst Center
I stayed at the cottage for two nights with friends. It suited our needs well, providing a comfortable place for us to visit. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. The nearby train did not seem to run over the weekend and we only heard it on Monday, late morning. Parking is definitely a little challenging in the snow but location is convenient and quiet. I would happily stay again if I am in the area.

Spacious Suite near Amherst
“Red Casita” is a wonderful get away! It is cozy and quiet, with everything you need. It is tastefully furnished, quaint & modern at the same time. Most importantly it is kept clean. I recommend Red Casita to everyone.

Dreamy Guesthouse: sauna and private deck
We stayed at Erika and Jon's cottage while attending a summer concert at Tree House Brewery in Deerfield. The place was charming and quaint and perfectly located for the concert at the brewery. Although it was a little tricky to find (narrow, winding country roads...), Erika's instructions were very detailed and thorough and got us right to the front door. The place was just as described and we enjoyed dinner at nearby Champney's (recommended by Erika). The concert was a blast, but it did drizzle steadily most of the night so the infrared sauna was a cherished amenity afterwards! The bed was super comfortable. The place was clean. They left us maple syrup harvested from trees on their property. Check-in was easy. Definitely the perfect spot for us! Wish we had more time to enjoy it. The cottage will be the first place we check for availability for future summer concerts at Tree House. Thank you Erika and Jon.

Goreytastic Private ApARTment @ the EMC
This place isn't just an amazing whimsical shrine to Edward Gorey, it's also a roomy, comfortable and clean place to stay. I've stayed here three or four times now, and it's always my first choice when I'm coming to the valley for a few days.

Amherst Area Studio Apartment
We enjoyed our stay this was our second time back at Judy’s! She always has a treat for us and milk and fruit! She is a lovely host and very responsive to our needs !!

Just Be Cabin
This is my third stay with Stacey at the Just Be cabin and it’s always lovely. It’s a simple, clean, quiet spot that’s perfect for recharging in the evenings during a working weekend with lots of people-ing! The wood stove was a luxurious amenity on my latest, chilly trip!!

Historic Williams House
I stayed at Kaitlyn’s magical home with two friends during our Smith College reunion weekend. The house is historic, charming, cozy, and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and we rested well. The sounds of birds chirping and the many thoughtful details throughout the house made us feel welcome and at home. I hope to return!

Large Studio – Walk to Town
What a wonderful and unique space. A wide open room with a cozy bed area. The kitchen is well appointed as well. Just a short walk to Northampton's downtown but quiet with lovely gardens all around.

Sunny Studio Apartment
If you are looking for a bright, natural peaceful setting and only 12 min to Amherst this is it. Sarah is a helpful and generous host. The fresh flowers and yummy treats were a lovely addition. I only wish I had had more time to explore the many walking trails close by. I'll definitely return if in the area again.

Cider House Cottage
If you’re considering a trip to the Cider House Cottage - DO IT! This is the perfect peaceful getaway. The surrounding land is beautiful with a lot to explore and the interior of the cottage is so cozy and inviting. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Stephanie goes above and beyond to create a tranquil space with notes on the history of the building and land to read about. We loved falling asleep to the peepers in the pond and waking up to the birds. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect from the world and re-connect with nature, this is it. Thanks Stephanie for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back again!

Down town Florence Temperance Hall
beautiful place to stay! It was my boyfriend's 30th birthday and we spent the days walking around North Hampton & nights enjoying the big windows, high ceilings and fans with some records 😌. The shower is next level and my life won't be the same without it. Would love to stay more in the future!

Brookside Carriage House. Private, Great Location.
My wife and I rented for a couple nights to attend a dog show at the Fair Grounds. This place was close & easy to access. What we didn't expect was how remarkably quiet the street was, and being walking distance to coffee shops/restaurants! Lovely! Colin had a lot of labels up in the space, so it was easy to figure out laundry and where amenities were located. We would rent here again (and might!) anytime we want to visit Northampton. We recommend Spoleto's (italian) for dinner and Familiars for coffee & snacks - both were spectacular!
