( please be aware there is a 2 night minimum for Friday and saturday nights)
This is our second rental property located downstairs from our first. We've taken great care to make this an airy yet cozy space. Your space is completely private with everything you could want in a fully furnished apartment close to everything yet peaceful and homey. Our space is designed with you in mind - comfortable beds and plush towels and a full kitchen for snacks or meals. We provide snacks in the fridge on arrival - some kind of bread or fruit or granola bars or all of the above. We provide the things we always wish we had when we go away like paper towels and butter and salt and pepper and a few eggs and a real refrigerator. The wifi is fast and the tv is big and there's a reading nook for a little resting spot. We enjoy hosting couples and families and have met some really nice people and it shows in our reviews. We are very kid friendly with a swingset and sandpile in the front yard. There are several playgrounds within a 5 minute drive. Please note a 2 night minimum for Friday and Saturday .

My wife and I were only there for one night but will definitely stay at this property again in the future, communication was quick and friendly and the apartment was clean and cozy!!!
Our stay was great. The space was comfortable and cozy. Was nice to have a kitchen to cook a little and they included fresh eggs with other snacks to make it welcoming.
Great, quiet and centralized location to explore Amherst and surroundings.
Check in was super easy, apartment was clean and comfy. Didn’t get to meet Lee but she was wonderful communicating with. She also left us some welcoming goodies :) Would stay there again.
The hosts of this property were very responsive even before my arrival, answering questions quickly. The property is easy to access and walking distance from a lovely breakfast spot/market. Their thoughtfulness in leaving snacks for travelers was a lovely touch. It felt like a home away from home -- clean, warm and comfortable!

Quiet, comfortable, is well recommended to others.
We were in town for a family celebration. The space allowed us to spread out and relax. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hosts left snacks in the fridge when we checked in. It’s clean, nicely appointed, and the beds were super comfortable.
Enjoyed our stay in this quiet and comfortable basement apartment. Had everything you would need, including a few food items which were much appreciated. Would stay again.
Lovely 2 bedroom in Cushman has everything you need
There are steps down to this convenient, functional apartment that functioned as the hub for our 2 day stay. Just a few minutes walk to the nearby Cushman market and cafe for essential sustenance. Lee is a great host and quick to field any questions.
Apartment was lovely with many thoughtful extras including night light, signs, delicious snacks, an exceptionally comfortable bed, cozy living room, and well appointed kitchen.

Very nice apartment. It appears to be newly renovated. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was nice and well equipped. It was clean and came with bedding and towels. They even had some snacks and some breakfast food in the refrigerator. I would definitely stay here again.

The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We chose to sleep on the couch rather than the tiny room with a sheet curtain hiding the bulkhead stairs 😏
Quiet, very clean, clean sheets with plenty of pillows, soft towels with extra ones available.
Eggs, milk, bread and butter in fridge for breakfast. It came in handy before I started tailgating Saturday morning.
I was in town for a football game. Quick and easy access to UMASS campus. Quick access to downtown.
Very easy check-in and check-out. Property manager responds quickly to any questions or concerns. Plenty of instructions inside to guide you through your stay.
I would definitely stay again! It was a great weekend experience.
M-I-Z...Z-O-U!!
Wonderful apt. Very clean with many amenities including breakfast food and snacks which added a nice touch. Was concerned about it being a basement apartment but hardly noticeable when you’re inside. This one is a keeper for sure. Thank you to the Kimballs for allowing us to enter early.
Lower level apartment was very well maintained, very well stocked (scissors, sewing kit, batteries, cleaning supplies, fully supplied kitchen (FYI coffee maker was a Kuerig with fillable filters), even homemade fruit bread, butter, eggs, and fruit in the fridge upon arrival!) Met owner and he was super nice, explaining how to easily get to the 21+ miles of hiking trails behind the property. Very close to Mullins center but far enough removed to ensure quiet, peaceful evenings. Will rent again next year if Convention lands in Mullins center again.
When photos and words in description don’t agree, go elsewhere. Always find out about air quality and access to natural light and fresh air. Don’t rely on prior ratings.
The property is exactly like the pictures. Even though it's a basement apartment, it not dark at all. You can see it's been recently renovated, painted, etc. and well taken care of. The hosts left eggs, butter, milk and several slices of delicious cranberry bread in the fridge. What a nice touch!!
We were visiting friends in Sunderland and this location was perfect for getting to their house plus it's near so many lovely towns and historic sites. We loved Puffers Pond. Would definitely come back to this place again.

About the host
Hosted by Lee kimball
We are Lee and Bill Kimball. Lee's family has lived here for 3 generations when it was Leonard Egg farm. Bill carries on the farming tradition part time raising pheasants and chukkar partridge during the spring and summmer. We like Amherst for it's culture and diversity and contemporary feel while remaining a New England college town and farm area. We are proud of the inclusive nature of the valley.
Why they chose this property
We are located in North Amherst, just a 7 minute drive to town but quiet and peaceful. There is a cafe down the street and a nature trail to Puffers pond. Great area for hiking and biking and a short ride to all the valley has to offer.
