  We loved staying here!!! The house is very spacious yet extremely cozy and we had no problem fitting a whole bunch of adults and a whole bunch of kids - 5 families all together. We stayed for 4 nights and not at any point it felt like somebody was stepping on somebody's toes. It is also a walking distance from the lovely town of Shelburne Falls where there is food, bowling and great hill for sledding behind the elementary school. The owners were very helpful, accommodating and welcoming. I certainly hope that we will have a chance to be back!

  This home was absolutely perfect for a girls weekend away. We had ample amount of space to hang out in small and big groups. The kitchen provided a homey and warm atmosphere for laughter and love. The front porch was so pleasant and relaxing and the backyard was private and spacious. The owner was so responsive before and during the weekend as needed. This was a wonderful experience! Thank you!

  Owner response: So glad this worked out so beautifully. And thanks so much for this unsolicited review. I really love it when people have a good time here. If the mood is right between the people, the house really lets it take off. You left it in great shape too. So, many thanks and... Come again!

• Graduation Weekend

  Graduation Weekend

  This house was a perfect place for my family to gather and celebrate our daughter's graduation in Amherst. We all slept comfortably and showered in luxury. It was great to have four generations around the dinner table and gathered in the backyard for our cook-out. With the craziness of four colleges around Amherst all graduating on the same weekend, it was wonderful to have an escape and be able to provide meals that accommodated all of the needs. The town is beautiful and the Bridge of Flowers was enjoyed by all. The only caveat I would share is that the many staircases proved to be a bit of a challenge for our oldest and youngest family members. But the three floors of bedrooms and bathrooms gave everyone space to feel comfortable. I would highly recommend this house for a group gathering.

  This house is the perfect combination of antique charm, gracious living, and creature comforts. From the lovingly restored wide-plank pine floors to the wood-burning fireplace to the striking and handsome decor in every room (seven bedrooms!), I felt immediately happy and relaxed on entering, and those feelings only deepened throughout our four-day stay. There are three levels with a full and modern bath on each--including a gorgeous and invigorating spa shower on the top floor. The renovated, open-plan kitchen was clearly designed by someone who loves cooking and community--it gives onto a spacious and inviting dining and sitting area. You don't need to be a believer of any kind to "get" the appropriateness of the small Buddha statue out back, as peace and calm seem to reign over this majestic house. Also out back is a large and museum-worthy table for al-fresco dining, plus acres of woodland. From this welcoming property, you can walk--within minutes!--over the lovely Bridge of Flowers and onto the charming main street of Shelburne Falls. There you'll find all manner of interesting mom-and-pop enterprises, plus the Gypsy Apple, a world-class restaurant (no exaggeration: take it from one who's been lucky enough to eat in many a Manhattan destination restaurant) (and reserve early: it seats a couple dozen). Within that same few-minute walk from the house, you can do some yoga in a splendid studio overlooking the Deerfield River, or gaze onto some full-fledged geological wonders known as the "glacial potholes." I was heavy-hearted upon leaving; I can't wait to return.

  This charming, welcoming home was a wonderful vacation spot for our special family get together (my mother's birthday). During our week at this home we had eleven people in our group and were able to all comfortably gather together in the kitchen/great room for meals, drinks and games. The backyard also provided a peaceful spot for gathering and barbecuing. The house was very comfortably furnished with a great cook's kitchen. We also enjoyed the location of the home. It was so nice to get up in the morning and be able to walk into town for our coffee, paper and muffins. The Deerfied River also provided us with several great uncrowded swimming holes. We had a wonderful week and the owners were very helpful and pleasant.

  This was a great location for our birthday celebration and rafting adventure. The house easily and comfortably accommodated 13 of us. It is a short walk to town and close to swimming, tubing and rafting. Everyone loved walking through town swimming near the bridge on North River and rafting on the Deerfield River. The owners were very helpful, pointing out local attractions, stores and highlights. We had a fabulous time. I would defintely recommend the house to friends.

  There's no better word to express thanks for our stay at your wonderful house than 'delightful' -- from top to bottom, beginning to end. There is a cheerfulness in the air, and the scent of love and care. Every room is a different experience, every door opens on a new feast for the eyes. There is something, some favorite space, for everyone who spends time there. We loved cooking in your charming and spacious country kitchen (generously stocked with spices and condiments, thank you!), relaxed and read endlessly on the very private back lawn (with little buddha looking over us), enjoyed the short walk into your wonderful town. A highlight for us was tubing down the river one hot, lazy afternoon. Delicious and memorable. Can't wait to return.

• Smith College Reunion - The Perfect House

  Smith College Reunion - The Perfect House

  We, a group of alumnae, rented this beautifully detailed house in Shelburne Falls and everyone loved it. The house can sleep a large group, has a fun and fully-equipped kitchen, bathrooms on 3 floors, etc. It has a perfect garden/yard surrounding it and a long front-porch. It is ideal for Smith College reunions because it allows you to get away from Northampton and relax and reconnect with old friends. We (Tenney House '00-'02) all highly recommend it.

• Great Christmas vacation

  We had a family get-together over Christmas week 2010, eight to twelve adults for various nights, and three kids. The house was perfect for us, the kitchen/dining area on the second floor was great for meals and general hanging out while chatting with the day's designated cooks, we even had a Christmas tree. The bedrooms and downstairs sitting room with wood stove provided get-away space and privacy too. Double-check the bed sizes though, they seemed more like doubles. Otherwise no complaints at all, highly recommended. Check out the candlepin bowling alley in town too!
