Cottage holiday rentals in Amherst

Truly a magical spot--in October, the fall colors. Any time, the lake view, and the absolutely lovely sunroom.

My girlfriend and I had a great time staying at Joktan’s place. We really enjoyed the home as well as the amenities that came with it. Joktan, provided excellent communication. Would recommend staying here!

We had the pleasure of staying at Matts place for a weekend getaway that included 6 women. Matt was such an amazing host from start to finish. Beautiful home with gorgeous landscaping on the lake and is set up with everything you could possibly need. The home was immaculate inside and out and was truly even better in person than the already beautiful photos provided. We intend on making this our yearly destination spot! We can't thank you enough for being a super host !

A lovely retreat near Valley View Farm. Perfect if you have a dog who likes to explore Super clean, detailed instructions Thanks so much!!

Bill’s place was perfect for our family as we celebrated our son’s graduation. It was clean and there were enough bedrooms and beds for everyone, a beautiful live edge table for all of us to gather for meals and plenty of common spaces.

The cabin's decor was absolutely charming, and I appreciated the owner's personal touch. The location was breathtaking, even given the rainy weather. I will definitely be returning!

This place was an excellent location for basing our trip to the Berkshires. We liked looking out over the lake, and walking around the community.

Fun experience at an old school camp on a lake. Lovely screen porch overlooking the lake and Meredith has thoughtfully provided everything you need for a nice stay. Will be coming back soon!

Just before we left for our short vacation, Daddy read to Mommy every night from a book about an enchanted April at the “San Salvatore” castle in Portofino, Italy. That was a magical place that touched the souls of its guests. So is the By Still Waters Cottage, which we now call “our San Salvatore” and plan to return to as soon as possible. --Sasha, a German Shepherd Mix rescue from Belarus; a world traveler, I look forward to frolicking again in Moore’s Pond.

Enjoy your stay at this beautiful home. Looking for a get away from everyone this is the place to stay. House was perfect when we arrived and everything was smooth and simple from start to finish!

Comfortable with beautiful surroundings. Very responsive host.

This was the perfect spot for our mini vacation with our adult son and dog. The house was adorable and comfortable...the beds were especially comfy. The fenced in patio area and sun porch was so relaxing and although no one actually slept on it, the daybed was very comfortable as well. We enjoyed our day trip to Boston and multiple trips to Treehouse Brewery. Gwen's communication was awesome...such a terrific host! Hoping to stay again.

This place was everything it was said to be. it was clean and very cozy. Kyle had a booklet with useful information about the cottage, restaurants and local attractions.

We spent a weekend in this beautiful house in early spring. The house is amazing and has everything you need. The view is amazing and the pond invites you to fish or watch birds. It‘s calm and relaxing. Would love to come back here soon and spend more time. Kelly and Claire have been amazing hosts and a nice contact.

Great Lake side cottage charm. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of fun water toys to use. Great views and peaceful!

The small home is located at the end of a 0.25 mile dirt road. There are only four homes on the road, though one is on the opposite side at the end of the road. If you are staying here you should be comfortable in an isolated location. There are no window treatments on the two sliding doors opening to the deck in the back of the home, though there is also nothing but woods in the back of the home. All that being said, the place was exceptionally clean for any Airbnb rental, much less one tucked back in the woods. While the small kitchen was missing a few expected items like steak knives, tea bags, and measuring cups, it should prove to be functional for most guests. There is a large TV in the large living room and the internet was fine for streaming without any issues. The bed was comfortable and a large dresser is available for storing clothes. Be aware that the only available heat is from a gas fireplace, two portable space heaters, and another space heater in the bathroom.

2nd time staying here, lovely little spot on the river. Well-priced and met our needs. Best for 1-2 travelers and folks who either have a car or don't mind the easy walk into town. I'll likely stay here again when I next visit Bratt!

What an amazing stay! The place had great games and the porch was such a treat. The view from the fire pit was so relaxing and we enjoyed toasting smores while overlooking the lake. We ended up taking the folding chairs and playing catch by the lake, which was only a short walk away. Robert was responsive when we asked where to get firewood. We also enjoyed the Sturbridge coffee house and Maine Lobster (we liked it so much, we went twice)! We ended up going to the farmers market and flea market, which were great finds. Overall, a great stay with the kitchen utensils, bathroom necessities that you’d need. Close by the lake and a great neighborhood!

I stayed at the cottage for two nights with friends. It suited our needs well, providing a comfortable place for us to visit. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. The nearby train did not seem to run over the weekend and we only heard it on Monday, late morning. Parking is definitely a little challenging in the snow but location is convenient and quiet. I would happily stay again if I am in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle’s place. Overlooking a lake in a peaceful location, this was perfect for a small group looking for a reasonably priced Airbnb to stay while skiing at Mount Snow. The location was cool and I can definitely see this house being great for warmer seasons as well. One thing that stood out was the clarity of instructions provided by the host. Both the description of the property and what to expect, and the check in/out instructions are very accurate and helpful.
