We absolutely loved our stay in this house. It is beautifully maintained, comfortable and we immediately felt at home. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was great and it was the perfect house to host friends for cocktails. I highly recommend this property!

We had a perfect, comfortable visit in Northampton. The house is lovely and the host has provided everything you will need. The location is fantastic—short walk to town and Smith College. We hope to book the house again one day.

Awesome that your family caught a white Christmas! Glad you took advantage of the walk-ability, and it's good to hear the house had everything you needed. If shipping luggage or other details can make your next visit easier just let me know. Cheers
Comfortable and nicely updated home in a great neighborhood, blocks from downtown and Smith College. Every aspect of stay went smoothly. Less than a mile to grocery store and ymca, dozens of restaurants and running trails. Also enjoyed short drives to Amherst and basketball hall of fame in Springfield.

I'm glad you folks were able to take advantage of everything the area has to offer. Crescent Street's location in Northampton does make virtually everything "walkable" and the other colleges and attractions are just a short drive. Thanks for sharing your observations and we look forward to hosting your family again in the future.

Very comfortable stay in a convenient location!
My family of four and I had a wonderful stay in Northampton over Memorial Day weekend. Christopher was an excellent host -- installed AC units in advance of the 90+ degree weather, and even left us flowers and a box of chocolates! Couldn't have asked for a more comfortable or convenient place to stay.
Thanks very much!!

Thanks for sharing your experience Amy - it's nice to hear.
We hope you'll be our guest again on your next trip to Noho.
All the best, Christopher
Six of us were attending events at Smith and appreciated the location, cleanliness, and ease of access. The house is perfectly located between town and campus, and we didn't need our cars at all. Christopher provided all of the relevant information ahead of time, and we had everything we needed. The couches could've been more comfortable and oriented for hanging out, but that might just be specific to what our group wanted to do--spend time together. Overall, I'd recommend this home to folks who want a spotless home in a great location.

Thanks for sharing Sheila. I'm glad the home was up to par and worked for your group to walk to your functions and town. And we'll give some thought to flex-seating for larger groups - that's a good observation. Again, thanks for staying at Crescent Street.

Beautiful home in charming neighborhood
This is an immaculate home in a charming neighborhood within easy walking distance of Smith College and downtown Northampton. Our family stayed for a long weekend and everyone enjoyed the house, especially the attractive kitchen, dining and living areas. We made several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. This home is warmly and beautifully decorated but there is no clutter. I highly recommend this rental and we hope to stay again.

Lovely and comfortable home stay. Our family loved this rental.
Spent a relaxing week at Christopher’s house. Everything we needed was there! Christopher went above and beyond as a host. We will be back!

I'm happy you were able to bring the family together and feel at home. You really got the full Western Mass experience of autumn one day and winder the next! We look forward to hosting you again when you're next in the area. Good travels!
Comfortable property with attentive but unobtrusive manager.
Comfortable and well equipped property. Nice touches on arrival with chocolates and flowers. Kitchen had all things needed and quite a few bits and bobs that otherwise you might find yourself having to buy during a stay. Quiet street, walkable to town centre shops and restaurants in Northampton. Northampton is an interesting if a little quirky mixture , it made for a good base to explore the area. I’d suggest the town needs to do something re it’s homeless / beggars -as it seems to be a bit of a magnet given its liberal image - but that’s no doubt just an unfortunate illustration of wider social problems.

I'm happy the home served as a good base from which to explore our corner of the world. We try hard to ensure guests have everything you would have at home and we're glad it served your family well. All the best and good travels!
The house was clean, well appointed, very comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all necessary utensils, cookware and dishes. We loved the grill, and outdoor seating in both the front and back porch complete with ambient lighting.
The location is ideal and it is a nice neighborhood of other charming homes.
Great home in lovely neighborhood. Nice for a family gathering
We had a lovely time at Christopher's lovely NoHo home. Our daughter got married and we hosted a day-after wedding brunch at the home. We had guests from Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and Germany. They loved the backyard with water feature as well as the beautiful front porch. This is a great home that is comfortable and a wonderful place to enjoy family and friends!
This was our 2nd stay at Christopher’s wonderful home. We enjoyed 10 wonderful days (and beautiful weather) in and around Northampton. My son also enjoyed his 2nd birthday here, especially the rocking chairs on the porch. The house has everything you need and superbly equipped. Christopher is a warm and gracious host and we will be back next year!

Wonderful family home in the heart of Northampton close to Smith College
Christopher was an outstanding host from beginning to end. We visited from the U.K. and spent 7 days at the house. The flowers and chocolates upon arrival were a wonderful touch and very much appreciated. The house is incredibly spacious and every feature and detail in the property has been thought through. The house was an excellent base to explore the nearby area and after a day out, we were always excited to return ‘home’. We loved cooking in the kitchen and we our local family popped over, they commented on how splendid the house was too. Our children (1 and 3) loved exploring the house but their highlight was the visit from three bears (a sow and two cubs) who were roaming the neighbourhood. We can’t wait for our next trip to Christopher’s house (in May 2019).

Property was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
Thirty years ago we lived on Crescent street before moving to Chicago. So our visit was a trip down memory lane. The house was very nice and more than met our needs.

well equipped, lovely home in a charming neighborhood.
We had a family wedding in the area so 5 of us stayed there. It was a very comfortable house with everything we needed. The furnishings were all in good shape and very attractive. The kitchen was well appointed. Since the weather was good we also enjoyed sitting in the backyard which is small but very nice. We found everything we needed, sheets and towels all good quality. The beds and pillows very comfy.
Very conveniently located and walkable to Northampton's shops and restaurants.
Thanks for the pleasant stay.

Clean, curated, convenient classic home ...
... within walking distance of Smith College, close proximity to downtown Northhampton and easily accessible to the rest of Pioneer Valley, Chris has crafted a true home-away-from-home. Two families gathering for a momentous reunion weekend easily shared this home. The only thing that would have made it an absolute 100 would have been a second full bath 😉

Wonderful house for wedding weekend!
My now-husband and a few friends stayed in this house for our wedding weekend. It's a beautiful house with a lovely open downstairs area. We had hair and makeup done for six of us girls in the kitchen and living room and it was a great bright, sunny space for this. It's also a great location! After the wedding we had an after party in downtown Northampton, and my brand new husband and I walked home afterwards. Beautiful end to the night. All of our guests were from out of town and everybody loved visiting the Pioneer Valley - I'll rec this house to anyone coming back for another visit!!! Nice owner, easy communication, very welcoming. Thanks for everything!!

About the host
Hosted by Christopher
I'm an enthusiastic restorer of beautiful old homes and fell in love with this charming turn of the century Dutch Colonial. After 6 years of restoration I find I'm away from the area more and more for extended business trips or visiting relatives. When I'm in the area I use the detached Carriage House apartment and park on the street.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. Situated 2 blocks from Smith College campus, this home offers the best of vibrant Northampton within walking distance in any direction, while being nestled into a mature quiet neighborhood with tree lined streets and sidewalks.
What makes this property unique
If outdoor living space is your thing, you'll love the covered front porch with rocking chairs and bistro set, as well as the furnished backyard garden and patio with 35' waterfall, gas BBQ, gas fire-pit.
