The 1770 House
Historic house on a beautiful property. Kitchen had all the equipment you could need along with top of the line stove and oven. Make cooking for a large group easy and enjoyable!

Happy Valley getaway
We enjoyed our stay! Everything was beautiful and our Hosts were great and very responsive. We would definitely recommend and hopefully get to come back again!

Adams Farm-"The Little Farmhouse"
We had an amazing stay! The house is lovely and very comfortable, perfect for going skiing at mount snow and cross country skiing and prospect mountain. We were really glad to have picked it. The house is spacious, we all had a lot of room to ourselves, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The farm is gorgeous. Great grocery stores nearby. Sharon was amazing - so helpful when a winter storm threatened to make it hard for us to drive home. She offered us extra time or even another night discounted, which was really generous. She also communicated with friends to help us determine if the road back to NYC had been cleared. We are so grateful for her help! We hope to return in warmer weather to enjoy the farm even more.

The Brick House on Washington Street
Great stay and was exactly what we needed for our entire family for a weekend wedding!

Mountain Blossom Retreat by Evergreen Home
We selected this amazing property as the location for our mini-wedding and we could not have been happier. The house is brilliant in every way. The floor plan, the furnishings, the decor, and the grounds are all thoughtful and stunningly beautiful. The property manager was always responsive and kind. This is truly a top property and you will not be disappointed. We cannot wait to visit again.

Berkshire County modern home + pool
Kelsey is flexible and responsive. You can tell she thought about how to curate a great stay by all of the amenities and presentation of the house. It’s cozy! Kelsey does have house rules but they’re not overbearing and if anything it was nice to have clear expectations communicated from the beginning.

Morning Side
Morning Side is filled with character and charm. The house itself, the furnishings, and even the book collection take you back to 18th century New England. The kitchen and dining area are particularly cozy and inviting. The windows and views are magical, particularly with a good snowfall. The host was very helpful, particularly proactive about preparing the sidewalk and driveway for snowfall, even on Thanksgiving Day!

Sun-drenched 6BR Victorian steps from downtown
I wish I had known about this property sooner for my visits to Amherst College. It was better than advertised. Sunny, clean, comfortable and so close to walk to town. My whole family enjoyed it very much.

Lovely 4 bedrooms home with huge backyard to enjoy
Aung is a very helpful gentleman, after I left my personal stuff in the house he’s still very helpful to get everything back for me!

Moonstone Lake House – romantic, serene, fun!
Mighty is fantastic! Her place is brimming with art and comfort, soft colorful rugs, creativity and spirit in every nook and cranny. So many thoughtful details from the toilet seat warmer to the lavender sachets. Just everything. But that lake that meets the back deck. It is magical. What a place and what a kind and caring host.

An 18th century farmhouse
What a beautiful, idyllic getaway Susan offers for her guests. A kind welcoming soul who provides a stay that brings you back in history – we had the most lovely time!

Amherst/Pelham getaway with a view!
Great place to stay! Private and a beautiful area. Lauren was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Magical, Rural Getaway in the Berkshires
This place was great, I was a little concerned it may be too rustic based on the pictures, but the place was fabulous. No problems with wifi, access, sleeping arrangements. The open space for the kitchen/tv room were so great for our large family. Everything is well appointed, there are clear instructions everywhere on how to use anything in the house. It was really nice for our short weekend stay for graduation. I felt the kitchen was better stocked than most places I've stayed. They had everything we needed. I wish we could have used the fireplace on this rainy cold weekend, but heard maybe it's an Airbnb thing not an owner thing. If you want to head to this area, this was a great place to stay.

Amherst Treehouse
We were three couples coming together for a college reunion in the area. The house fit our needs perfectly with plenty of space to relax and cook. The fireplace was a godsend during a May nor'easter. Victoria left detailed instructions and welcomed us with thoughtful touches like popcorn and local restaurant recommendations. We just can't recommend it enough if you're looking in the area. Our only regret was that we were unable to enjoy the outdoor fire pit given the weather.

The Walnut Apartment
Very cute apartment and more than what we needed for a one night stay on a wedding weekend! The downstairs has a charming sitting room and spacious kitchen with fridge, stove, and laundry. The stairs were a bit steep so be cautious! Upstairs a comfy soft bed with window AC and a large bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower. Jennifer was very nice about our last minute request to check in early to change for a 4 PM wedding. We would stay here again if we come back to the area! Thanks so much!

Vermont Mirror House
I was planning on my proposal and wanted somewhere special. The window house was exactly that. Private, peaceful, super clean, amazing views and wildlife. Taylor and Marla were EXTREMELY good at communicating and getting back in a timely manner. If you and your significant other are looking to get away, this is the place. It’s sublime.

Luxury log style home with views to Mt. Monadnock!
We had a wonderful stay at Debra's log cabin. Beautiful location, glorious and cozy home, and fun amenities. We played foos-ball and spent many lovely, peaceful hours in the cabin. Be careful in the winter/early spring as the walkways and driveway can get icy, but it's worth it to make it up them both.

Willow Falls Home ~Hot tub & Waterfront
Such an amazing place to stay - easy to get to surrounding towns and local attractions but the physical location and the space lends itself to such a beautiful tranquility and peace we could feel ourselves relaxing the minute we got out of the car. Everything we could have wanted was provided, including a washer and dryer, the beds were so very comfortable, and being able to soak in the hot tub beneath the stars after a long day was just an added bonus. We were so grateful to be able to be in this space for about a week and hope to be able to rerun in the future!

Charming Brookside Artisan Home
This place was awesome. Would have enjoyed the outdoors and fire pit more if it didn’t rain. I would definitely recommend

Bridge of flowers cottage
Our family converged on Shelburne Falls from several faraway places for a nearby college graduation. We rented 5 nights in order to make it a family reunion. This lovely home turned out to be the perfect setting, as it has a large amount of common living space, in several adjacent rooms, so that we could be all together or in smaller groups. We enjoyed meals in the large kitchen, sitting by the fire, short walks to good restaurants and handy grocery stores. We sat on the porch enjoying the garden. The area is quiet and safe. The trains coming through at the bottom of the garden were entertaining, but didn't wake people up because the trains go very slowly through a sunken section and don't honk nearby. The town is delightful, and plenty of hiking and things to do (Clark Art Museum!) nearby. As longtime AirBnBers, what we appreciated most is that this is really a family home, with an attentive host and a helpful neighbor/manager. In other words, AirBnb at its best!

Home in Northampton
This is a great property. An abundance of communal space, porches front and back. Also an extremely well equipped kitchen. A few blocks off the Florence Main Street, and just a few minutes by car from downtown Northampton. The neighborhood itself is very quiet, unless you are counting all the birds in the trees that shade the property. It's also close to the interstate if this is going to be your base of operations for wider adventures. I would definitely recommend it for a group over any hotel in the area, and I've tried several over the years.

Clean/Spacious 1 bedroom house. Kitchen, LR, DR.
We really enjoyed our stay here. House was comfy and clean on a beautiful quiet street. Plenty of off road parking. There were little extras throughout the house that was very convenient, although we didn't need it, there were plenty of toiletries and snacks! Maria was an excellent host very attentive to making our stay comfortable as possible.

Mountaintop Views, close to private schools, golf
Beautiful property! Fantastic deck and views, and spacious and modern inside. Great place for a weekend with friends!

Four Season Cozy Cottage on Lake Mattawa
We had a fantastic long weekend on Lake Mattawa. Came to celebrate our son’s graduation from UMass. It was an easy 30 minute drive to campus for graduation. The cottage was a perfect place to hang out as a family…we paddled, fished, played games and cooked. Enjoyed eating on the deck and loved having our morning coffee on the sun porch. Really liked the Quabbin Harvest Coop (awesome local produce and supplies) and had an amazing sandwich at the Corner Cafe. Hope to return!
