This is a fully furnished private home attached to our farmhouse. The best place you'll stay away from home where we've thought of what makes a stay nice like comfortable beds,nice sheets, wifi and privacy. Large enough for a family to spread out - even a bonus 3 season porch, but cozy enough for 2. Lots to do in the Amherst area with the 5 colleges. A great New England getaway or perfect for visiting faculty. One bedroom with king sized sleigh bed, second bedroom (accessible thru the first) has 2 twin sleigh beds - one is an adjustable bed for those that need just right position to sleep well), full size kitchen, extra big bathroom with walk in shower and tub/shower. Room enough for everyone to get ready for an event or a cozy stay in. There's also a bonus 3 season porch for extra room to spread out on the loveseat or oversized recliner. The living room has a big tv and comfy furniture for watching a show or reading. (Please note a 2 night minimum for Friday and Saturday )

Wonderful stay near Amherst College

We were in Amherst to watch college baseball. The place was very close to the college, super comfortable and well stocked. Communication with the owner was great and we greatly appreciated the complimentary snacks, including eggs and oatmeal for breakfast. We hope to come back next year. Thank you!

Exactly what we needed

Easy check in, very clean and well stocked with everything needed. I was visiting my daughter at UMass who had to have knee surgery. There was lots of space for her to get around. It was also close to the University which was important for us as well.

Great stay with lots of room!

This stay was wonderful. It's located about 4 miles from UMass, in a nice quiet area. We were greeted with farm fresh eggs, bakery cinnamon bread slices, local apples, homemade butter and organic milk in the fridge. The pictures are accurate and the place reminded me of an old farmhouse. There's a chicken coop right on the property. The beds were super comfortable and the hosts thought of everything. There were oatmeal packets, small candy bars, microwave popcorn, etc to snack on. There were nice, fluffy towels in the bathroom. The place is very spacious. You could comfortably fit a family of 4-5. We didn't even use the twin bedroom. They have lots of extras for families, like a pack n play, kid silverware, etc. We were there for a football game and it was an easy drive to campus. Don't miss Cushman market and cafe for breakfast. DELICIOUS and almost across the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Spacious, clean, cool (we visited at the tail end of a heatwave), quiet; comfortable beds. The pictures don't do it justice. Loved the snacks in the fridge especially the homemade sweet bread. You can have breakfast and snacks in the kitchen (coffee, tea, milk, oatmeal, bread, fruit, eggs are provided), but we went down the street to a nice cafe. Also nearby is beautiful Puffers Pond for relaxing and swimming.

Perfect place for a stay

Exactly what you see is what you get! Cute place on farm like setting. Beds are comfortable and most anything you need is there from fans, pack and plays, and a high chair. Lee provided some fresh eggs, cranberry bread, and fresh butter. Looking to stay again next year when my daughter graduates!

Clean and nice but note 2 caveats

The Kimball upstairs was clean and functional. Potential guests need to know 2 things: the 2nd bedroom with 2 twin beds is only accessible by going through the bedroom with the one king bed. Also, there's another rental unit in the basement beneath this one and we could hear everything happening in the basement: people talking, sneezing, coughing, snoring at night, music, etc. which made us lose a bunch of sleep.

A Wonderful Getaway, Yet Close to Everything!

This apartment met our needs perfectly for a place that was comfortable, clean and close to everywhere we needed to be. The owners definitely take pride in keeping their property well-maintained and welcoming, including a lot of extras that we much appreciated! Fresh eggs, apples and cranberry bread in the refrigerator, along with all the basic cooking supplies in the cupoard. The king size bed we slept in was REALLY comfortable, and it was nice to relax in a truly homey environment at the end of a long day!

About the host

Hosted by Lee kimball

Host profile image
I grew up in the farmhouse, moved to a nearby town for a time a moved back 15 years ago with my husband Bill and 2 children. I've lived elsewhere an travelled a bit but always enjoyed our unique New England town. We're proud to be inclusive - there's something for everyone here. With the 5 colleges there is plenty to do from biking to concerts and museums and sporting events. I am a pharmacist and work full time but I'm a real home body that enjoys gardening and fixer upper projects.
Bill is a self employed plumber who raises pheasants and chukar partridge in the late spring thru fall. Bill is an avid hunter and fresh water fisherman.

Why they chose this property

My family has lived and farmed here for 3 generations, my grandfather and father had Leonard Egg farm and Bill is carrying on the tradition with pheasants and chukar partridge. Our rental space is a separate residence attached to the farmhouse.

What makes this property unique

The home away space is casual yet serene. We are close to all the valley has to offer. 5 minute drive to UMass,Amherst,Hampshire, 15 min to Mt Holyoke,Smith.
Our neighborhood has a nice mix of young and not so young to keep things active. Just a two minute walk to the Robert Frost trail ( one way to Puffers pond and the other to the swimming hole under the bridge. Just a 2 minute walk to the Cushman store for light groceries or a pastry or sandwich. 5 minute drive to laundry,pizza,playground(s),bank,barber,convenience store,breakfast,market.
