About this property

kimball upstairs: Private Elegant 2 Bedroom Close To Everything In The Valley

( please be aware there is a 2 night minimum for Friday and Saturday night)

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 )

Property was as advertised. Bathroom was near kitchen and 2nd bedroom is accessible through main bedroom - which makes this ideal for a family with children - maybe not for two adult couples seeking privacy.

Great place to stay

This is a very convenient, quiet, comfortable place to stay if you are visiting in the Amherst area. Really had everything you would need in the way of supplies, had great beds, plus snacks in the fridge which was much appreciated on our arrival. The hosts are very accommodating and couldn’t have been nicer (thank you, Lee!) Would definitely stay again.

Lee has stocked this two-bedroom with everything you could ever imagine you might need. There were even treats in the refrigerator! The beds are very comfortable, and the AC was so welcome on these very humid nights. The location is very convenient to the center of Amherst, the college, and a beautiful swimming pond is minutes away. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

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 20 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 used to raise pheasants and chukar partridge and now we have chickens again. ( Having previously been a chicken when I was a child, I can just see my mother rolling her eyes!) Bill is an avid hunter and fresh water fisherman spending lots of time fishing the Quabbin reservoir.

Why they chose this property

My family has lived and farmed here for 3 generations, my grandfather and father had Leonard Egg and we have recently started with chickens. Those are our fresh eggs in the fridge. 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.
