The house was clean and well appointed, with thoughtful touches like single-use laundry soap packets. We wanted for nothing. Checkout procedures were clear and unobtrusive. The neighborhood was quiet, and located well in the heart of Pioneer Valley. Northampton, Amherst, The Notch, Deerfield and the upper valley are all just a hop and a skip away. For someone looking for a clean, well-lighted place from which to base their daily adventures, this home is everything they could want and more.
Wonderful, updated and well-stocked kitchen and IMMENSE refrigerator helped with making four mammoth feasts in a row for family, with grandkids and pooches underfoot. Terrific location, beautifully appointed house, and Colleen could not possibly be more responsive. Thanks for having us!!!
The house was amazing, clean and comfortable. The area was great and very close to restaurants and shopping. I just canât say enough good things about our experience. If I could give it more than five stars I would.
Spent 2 nights as a teacher with 7 students, and another chaperone to attend the Big E with FFA kids. Plenty of room, as kids donât mind sharing, or sleeping on a pull out couch. Everything was very clean, and the property manager was very responsive and helpful. They even left some goodies for the kids! Would recommend!
The house was immaculate and with space for everyone to be together and to do our own thing. Restaurants, shops, and many fun places for activities are all very nearby. Loved our stay!
House was perfect for our family/friend weekend away! Everything was clean and Colleen was super easy to work with!! Thanks so much!! Will definitely stay here again!
Our extended family of five adults had a great week-long stay. The property was spotlessly clean and well-appointed. AC worked great as it was a hot week, and beds were very comfortable. The host was very responsive to a small issue that was resolved. The two bedrooms downstairs are a little dark, FYI. Nice neighborhood.
My daughter was married at Look Park and we stayed here with our other adult kids and their spouses - 7 in total. Location was very convenient to Northampton. Owner did a great job taking what I'd describe as a typical mid-sized suburban split-level house and redoing the floors, the kitchen, the bathrooms and the deck and making it into a very nice rental. Having a kitchen, dining room and a living room for a group is so great, and we also saved $s compared to 4 separate hotels rooms each night - so a win on all counts. Owner was very communicative - it's clear she runs this as a business and not a hobby - which I see as a very big positive. Also, a long rail trail passes by about 100 yards away- very helpful for the morning runners in my family. Definitely recommend.
Small split foyer remodeled to feel spacious and roomy. Everything you could need for a short term rental - from deodorant and shampoo, to sugar and spices. We had a great time!!
This property is in a great location, the home was clean, and the host was very responsive.
While we enjoyed our stay overall, we did find the cleaning list required for checkout to be excessive given the high cleaning and additional guest fees ($600 for two nights, with overall fees costing more than 40% of the total).
Additionally, requirements to provide an electronic copy of my license, containing a photo and sensitive personal information, as well as the full names of all guests raised privacy and data storage concerns for me and my group. I and others in our group had previously stayed in many short-term rentals and had not been asked for these items, or to sign a separate lease. Once checked in, we requested to have two friends visit for a few hours (not overnight); while the host kindly approved, we were also required to provide their full names and address as well.
We stayed at Colleenâs house while we were visiting our sons at Amherst. It was conveniently located to Amherst and the surrounding area and the house was clean. Colleen was a great host. The only reason I gave it less than 5 stars is because there was a musty smell when we entered the house. I think had we stayed longer and had a chance to air the house out, it may have been better.
Great location ! The house was spacious and clean. The host was great with communication and answering any questions we had in a timely manner. Only down side was the beds were not the greatest. Besides that, highly recommend if you need a place in that area.
House needed for sonâs graduation. Location was excellent, which was best part (rental was very pricey but that was due to graduation weekend). Upstairs Bathroom does not have towel bars or anywhere at all to hang towels. Coffee maker missing key part. Property manager was responsive.
We came up to Massachusettes for my son's wedding. The house was in a great location, close to everything! Eight adults and a dog stayed and it was very comfortable. There were two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, so we weren't on top of each other when we were getting ready for the wedding.
The house was fully stocked with all the equipment one would need. All the furniture was in tip top condition and the house was very clean! Colleen is a quick and clear communicator which we very much appreciated.
The house is a lovely raised ranch in a country setting but near many stores and restaurants. The home is clean and pleasant. The owner was very helpful. We'd come back here.
Just what we needed in order to gather and support our mother who was in hospice a few miles away. Nothing fancy, but the house provided the space and set up we needed for which we are very grateful.
Everything we needed was waiting for us at this comfortable home. The photos and description were accurate and true, yet there were a few small good surprises as well. For example, the cupboard held more spices and seasonings than are usually available in a rental vacation home. The closets revealed extra blankets when the nights got cold. When I reached out to Colleen, she always answered quickly. We would definitely stay there again because it felt like home away from home. Thank you!
