- "Was booked into the Holyoke room for two nights. Lovely to open the window while sleeping and hear the falls. The industrial decor suits the place. Felt the staff I met (Gail, Marsha, Shannon) were welcoming and friendly. Breakfast in their cafe was delicious. My only complaint is the walls are quite thin and I could hear snoring or conversations in the room next door. Would not deter me from staying here again though. Thank you for a great two night getaway!"

- "The apartment was very clean, cozy, well-stocked and well situated. We hope to stay here again!" - "I made a mistake as to the dates and James was very quick to resolve it for us. Then on the way out we left a cell phone in the unit and James went out of his way to get us in to retrieve it." - "Excellent facility for the money. However I missed the fact it was a 2nd and 3rd floor walk up when I booked it. We are 83 & 75 yrs. and the stairs were difficult for us and for our two small dogs. A slight issue with some carpenter ants. Otherwise it was very welcoming and the owner was easy to communicate with. The apartment was equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay."

- "Such a sweet and comfortable place for a little getaway! Very clean and the accommodations exceeded all my expectations ! Great area! Lots of things to do and explore." - "From the beginning through our entire stay of 21/2 weeks, Manon and Frank, the owners who live in the house that is attached to the apartment, did everything to make our stay comfortable and wonderful! They were in excellent communication with us before and during our stay. They were willing to help us with a couple of questions about the apt., and they were incredibly accommodating about our requests. The full kitchen has a stove and oven, refrigerator, microwave, sink, and every kind of pot, plate and silverware that you could possibly need. I was even able to do some baking because of the electric mixer that was provided and mixing bowl! The living room is very comfortable. The TV is an updated one, and cable works very well. I was able to have some zoom meetings with their Internet. It’s very quiet - excellent for sleeping and resting! The whole apt. and bathroom were very clean! There is a lovely private screened in porch attached to the apartment, which looks out onto the back lawn and the pool. It’s too bad we weren’t there in the summer so we could use the lovely pool! The neighborhood is suburban and rural with gorgeous farmland and woods to take walks and bike rides around right outside your door. There is excellent shopping 20 minutes away, in nearby Hadley and Amherst MA (5 college area), with wonderful locally owned restaurants, as well as chain type restaurants. It is very close to the Yankee candle flagship store, as well as a local very popular microbrewery that has outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. Manon and her husband are the most delightful people and VRBO owners! We feel very lucky that their apt. was available for our stay! Thank you so very much!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🙂"

- "We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet of this location, as well as the well-stocked kitchen and kind gestures (such as the bag of cider donuts on arrival along with some cold bottled water.) Heather was easy to communicate with and Betsy was wonderfully attentive and responsive. We highly recommend this cute little pool house, perhaps especially for a couple." - "This was a lovely place just a short distance away from the bustle of campus life. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and cozy amenities and the warm hospitality of our hosts. We look forward to returning!"

- "Beautiful house and gardens. We all enjoyed it." - "Loved the large garden, variety of birds and wildlife. Very spacious inside and out. The kids had a blast with the pool table and piano. If I’m ever in the area again, I would love to stay again." - "I stayed here for new years with friends and we all loved Evergreen. I wish I could have seen the garden in season, because even in winter it was still beautiful and all the indoor plants made it feel like it was spring anyway. The kitchen and baths had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The stars are highly visible and there's nothing better than relaxing in a hot tub looking at the crisp night sky. Thank you John!"

- "Our 4 nights here were enjoyable, we only were here to sleep as we were in a class during the day. The neighborhood was quiet and the back yard on the river was inviting. The fire pit was massive so we didn’t think we could manage it. Should have messaged the host. I didn’t know it was bunk beds, and would have preferred a regular size bed in the second bedroom. Had to block the light from outside with a drape. Would have liked a screen door for air on both front and back doors. Great kitchen!"

Relax on the porch and listen to running water over the rocks or take a walk along the river bank. Walking distance to breakfast Cafe, local brewery and grocery store. This is two floor Unit on the 2nd floor.

- "Peaceful river surrounding, definitely recommended everything close by." - "This was a great place to stay for us-close to where we needed to go. Unfortunately we were so busy we didn’t really get a chance to enjoy it-but slept great when we were there!" - "This cute, spacious, and minimalist apartment had everything we needed: beautiful river views. It was too cold when we visited, but it must be excellent in the spring and summer. There are a few little restaurants within walking distance and a brewery. We recommend the North Village Smoked House for BBQ; we order twice from them. The only issue we had was that the refrigerator was not working correctly. We used a nature refrigerator, and all was well."

- "I came to spend a couple days with my son who goes to college nearby. It was a cold damp weekend, but the place was warm and cozy. I found the space to be more than enough for me, but had the boys come to visit for one lunch and it was perfect. They enjoyed walking the property to see the horses (we are usually city folks ourselves.) I did not get to meet the hosts, but everything was explained clearly about check-in and I had no issues at all. The bed was very comfortable for me and the shower was excellent. I was exhausted from some difficult travel days and couldn't have been more comfortable in this rental. I would absolutely recommend, especially if you love horses. They were a healthy gorgeous looking stable and one seemed very happy to get a few pats on the head from me. I'd say it's perfect for a couple, or young family with small children. They will be hearing from me again."

- "We rented this home for my daughter's graduation from Amherst College. It was perfect for our extended family and the wonderful deck and yard was used for a fun cook-out. My 89 year old mother had her tea each morning in the inviting screened in porch and we all loved gathering and cooking in the good sized kitchen.

- "This house was great for a group of classmates back at Amherst for out 40th college reunion. We had a nice dinner on the porch, took advantage of the excellent air conditioning, and enjoyed having comfortable private space. Much better than camping in a dorm room, and enough to attract some infrequent reunion attendees back to the Pioneer Valley." - "Very spacious house with lots of options for activities. Close to Deerfield, Route 9 and area colleges. We really enjoyed our weekend at the house!"
