Vacation rentals with a kayak in Pioneer Valley

We had the most lovely stay at Pincone Pond. The house is absolutely spotless and well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, shampoo and condition in the bathrooms and throw blankets for the cool evenings. The house is so homey and comfortable and the grounds are stunning. Beautiful yard and pond which were well cared for. Catherine has thought of everything including chairs for sitting by the pond or fire pit. Just a lovely, peaceful spot.

Jaclyn’s home is the perfect place to get away and relax. Being on the water with a wood burning fire place was absolutely lovely. The home was clean, well organized, and Jaclyn was always responsive when we had a question. The home was an easy 20min drive to a lot of fun small towns. There was a little traffic noise when we were outside from the highway, but it was peaceful otherwise

While the weather was not optimal (sometimes western MA spring is slow to come), we loved the cottage. It is perfect for walking, hiking, reading and other quiet activities. But, you have access easily to Northampton or other local towns for a meal or night out. Debra was easy to reach but not at all intrusive. Check in was smooth. All in all, a lovely experience.

The house was even more beautiful and quaint than the photos. The weather was a bit chilly and they made sure the heat was on prior to our arrival. Caring, responsive, and helpful hosts. Definitely recommend.

Adam's place was the perfect location for our annual spring fishing trip. Plenty of space for everyone to relax their own way let still be connected to the group. Kitchen is well equipped for anything you would want to cook with other extras like coffee maker and blender. It's a short walk to the docks which makes fishing for a full day convenient to take breaks / have lunch etc. The boathouse is a nice added amenity which allows storage of coolers, drinks and ice which is also very close proximity to the fire pit. We are already looking forward to next year's trip.

My son, his dog and I had a lovely weekend of hiking and hanging out. The accomodations were excellent and we were close to many hiking trails and about 20 minutes away from Westfield and 45 minutes away from Northampton. The house was very comfortable and functional. Great TV room for watching sports and movies. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Perfect for our needs.

What an amazing experience! Our kids loved every second of it. Our hosts were amazing, responsive, and inviting. The home was beautiful and the scenery was spectacular. I highly recommend staying here. It was a great life experience! Thank you!

Susan was a great host. We loved kayaking on the grounds. Bed was very comfortable. Would stay again.

This place was everything it was said to be. it was clean and very cozy. Kyle had a booklet with useful information about the cottage, restaurants and local attractions.

Just before we left for our short vacation, Daddy read to Mommy every night from a book about an enchanted April at the “San Salvatore” castle in Portofino, Italy. That was a magical place that touched the souls of its guests. So is the By Still Waters Cottage, which we now call “our San Salvatore” and plan to return to as soon as possible. --Sasha, a German Shepherd Mix rescue from Belarus; a world traveler, I look forward to frolicking again in Moore’s Pond.

Great Lake side cottage charm. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of fun water toys to use. Great views and peaceful!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The hosts thought of everything and made us feel right at home. We could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend this property.

This was the perfect spot for our mini vacation with our adult son and dog. The house was adorable and comfortable...the beds were especially comfy. The fenced in patio area and sun porch was so relaxing and although no one actually slept on it, the daybed was very comfortable as well. We enjoyed our day trip to Boston and multiple trips to Treehouse Brewery. Gwen's communication was awesome...such a terrific host! Hoping to stay again.

What an amazing stay! The place had great games and the porch was such a treat. The view from the fire pit was so relaxing and we enjoyed toasting smores while overlooking the lake. We ended up taking the folding chairs and playing catch by the lake, which was only a short walk away. Robert was responsive when we asked where to get firewood. We also enjoyed the Sturbridge coffee house and Maine Lobster (we liked it so much, we went twice)! We ended up going to the farmers market and flea market, which were great finds. Overall, a great stay with the kitchen utensils, bathroom necessities that you’d need. Close by the lake and a great neighborhood!

Oh my gosh! We wish we'd been able to stay another couple of days! This place and location are incredible. Beautiful cottage on a beautiful lake with a fire pit and kayaks available for guest use. Absolutely stunning!

We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle’s place. Overlooking a lake in a peaceful location, this was perfect for a small group looking for a reasonably priced Airbnb to stay while skiing at Mount Snow. The location was cool and I can definitely see this house being great for warmer seasons as well. One thing that stood out was the clarity of instructions provided by the host. Both the description of the property and what to expect, and the check in/out instructions are very accurate and helpful.

It was a perfect price. With the ABNB it was double+. I would rather pay John more for the one night personally, than what I did. And have done twice. I have always left the place the same or better than I found it. I understand the cleaning fee, but kills single fathers like me for a 1 night trip. That being said. Walker cabin is great! Kayaks, all safety gear, fully outfitted down to toothpicks, brushes, floss, ect. You think you forgot it. It’s there. Baby monitors!

This was exactly the quiet, peaceful retreat we were looking for. The sun porch is what sold us (we called it The Nook), and what an absolutely perfect place to sit and read together for a few days! A family of geese came to visit and we got to watch them up close. We loved kayaking on the pond too—it’s an absolutely wild body of water with tons of massive tree roots just beneath the surface, and millions of lily pads. This converted camp is beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious. Extremely relaxing retreat for two people on an anniversary trip.

Beautiful house, perfect for our family retreat. After another host cancelled on us last minute, we found Brian's place and were very happy we did! Brian was very responsive to our needs, and was very helpful throughout the weekend. the kids loved the game room, we set a new record on the Pacman machine. We made s'mores on the front porch in rainy weather, and visited some of the local breweries nearby. We were very pleased with the home, and it was perfect for our long weekend.

Even though the weather wasn’t ideal during our stay, we had a wonderful time. Joe was great about checking to make sure we had all we needed for our long weekend stay. The house was stocked with everything you would need except for the food, and the kitchen was very clean! If you’re looking for privacy, rustic charm, and a lovely lake spot with a private dock just a few feet walking distance from the deck, this is the place. We all had a wonderful time.

Amazing cabin!! My third visit. Was there with friends for fishing and I love the cabin so much that I booked my anniversary weekend and my wife is also in love with the property. Relaxing Birding Fishing Kayaking Fire pit Romantic This place has it all! Book it now! You won’t regret it!

This was our 2nd time staying here and it was lovely! The house is clean and cozy. Great location by the river — lovely spot for an evening fire and morning coffee. Well stocked with kitchen essentials, towels, linens, etc. Thank you! We will be back!

We had a great stay for my daughter’s college graduation. Really enjoyed the house and fire pit. Thanks!

Great location near West Hill Lake and Brodie Park; walking distance to public beach, playground, and more. The house is very clean and well provisioned. A great stay!
