Peaceful Estate Getaway
The house was perfect for the weekend with family and friends. We were celebrating graduation for our daughter and 2 other friends. Vijay was great about letting us gather at his place to celebrate the graduates. He was very responsive when I reached out to him about questions that I had. I would highly recommend this house. There was plenty of space for our gathering, lots of beds, kitchen was great and the yard was perfect.

Berkshires Oasis Retreat: Art Meets Nature
We had a lovely time with our family! We were with 2 young children and my elderly father who cannot walk well (uses a walker). The house was perfectly designed to accommodate my father and had great living areas for us to spend time together. A very cozy, warm and welcoming home (with lots of amenities!). Yael is a very friendly, responsive host. We’d gladly come back for another winter or perhaps a summer stay! Thank you Yael!

The 1770 House
Historic house on a beautiful property. Kitchen had all the equipment you could need along with top of the line stove and oven. Make cooking for a large group easy and enjoyable!

Happy Valley getaway
We had a wonderful stay in Westhampton. The place itself had plenty to do and was well stocked with amenities. The owners were also very proactive in letting us know about an issue with the previous renters that resulted in a deeper cleaning than expected. Nevertheless, we recommend Jen’s house and would definitely stay there again.

Family/Dog Friendly Mountain Home w/ Amenities
Jake’s home is outstanding. The beds are very comfortable. The internet is good, The home has lots of space , a great kitchen with all amenities that we needed. Gas stove etc. The outlay was very comfortable and made for the perfect vacation. I’ve stayed at many homes in the area, Jake’s place is by far the best. We also went to the Clubhouse and used the pool and hot tub which was an added surprise.

Luxury Home * Pool * Fireplace
We had a very nice stay for a family wedding. Sharing the house with two combined families in January and the house was great for this. There are rooms with 3-4 beds in each so if you are looking for bedroom privacy then this house probably isn’t it. That said, we are all family so was fun to bunk up! The area is beautiful and there r a great set of trails right at the end of the road for hiking, walking cross country skiiing etc. Overall, a great stay and Kimberly was very communicative with everything

Chimney Hill Home w/ New Hot Tub & Amenity Center!
Stayed here as three couples with two dogs and had so much fun. We never left the home because it was so relaxing and enough to do right at the air bnb. Whether we were having a fire, going in the hot tub, playing pool, or making dinners together in the huge kitchen! We will definitely be back!

Mountaintop Nirvana: Lake, Pool, Hot Tub, Nature
We had an amazing stay! David was quick to respond with any questions I had and even came out to hook up the propane tank for the heated pool. I saw in previous reviews about the tricky driveway but David’s description of it is perfectly accurate and not any trouble, just a little steep but nothing super tricky to deal with! The house has a beautiful setup and view, very clean and so much space. Even though it was cold and rainy we had the most fun and peaceful stay at this home. The bride of the bachelorette group said she wants to book with David on her own just for another stay/get-a-way! Highly recommend this beautiful space!

Warm Woodland Retreat
Zach is really proactive and kind. He left me alone , which is what I needed for this short trip, but made me feel like if I needed anything (recommendations, assistance, communications) he would be responsive and quick. The place is a cool New England house with a lot of charm. The neighbors are respectful and quiet. Youre minutes away from a lot of great Connecticut icons and Uber is accessible and cheap. I hope to stay here agin when I return in Sept. The upstairs room is challenging if there are mobility concerns - I would try to book the lower levels. All was wonderful and Zach was kind.

Lovely 4 bedrooms home with huge backyard to enjoy
Aung is a very helpful gentleman, after I left my personal stuff in the house he’s still very helpful to get everything back for me!

Clean/Spacious 1 bedroom house. Kitchen, LR, DR.
We really enjoyed our stay here. House was comfy and clean on a beautiful quiet street. Plenty of off road parking. There were little extras throughout the house that was very convenient, although we didn't need it, there were plenty of toiletries and snacks! Maria was an excellent host very attentive to making our stay comfortable as possible.

An 18th century farmhouse
What a beautiful, idyllic getaway Susan offers for her guests. A kind welcoming soul who provides a stay that brings you back in history – we had the most lovely time!

Amherst/Pelham getaway with a view!
Lauren was a great host - very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She gave great recommendations and also had extra amenities for our baby which was so helpful. Recommend!

Magical, Rural Getaway in the Berkshires
This place was great, I was a little concerned it may be too rustic based on the pictures, but the place was fabulous. No problems with wifi, access, sleeping arrangements. The open space for the kitchen/tv room were so great for our large family. Everything is well appointed, there are clear instructions everywhere on how to use anything in the house. It was really nice for our short weekend stay for graduation. I felt the kitchen was better stocked than most places I've stayed. They had everything we needed. I wish we could have used the fireplace on this rainy cold weekend, but heard maybe it's an Airbnb thing not an owner thing. If you want to head to this area, this was a great place to stay.

Vermont Mirror House
I was planning on my proposal and wanted somewhere special. The window house was exactly that. Private, peaceful, super clean, amazing views and wildlife. Taylor and Marla were EXTREMELY good at communicating and getting back in a timely manner. If you and your significant other are looking to get away, this is the place. It’s sublime.

A Beautiful and Cozy home in Noho.
Yas's place is a beautiful jewel of a home within easy walking distance of downtown Northampton. It's quiet and peaceful, well stocked, with a lovely backyard and a great front porch. It was everything we were looking for on our trip to the Pioneer Valley, and I hope to book again when we return. Highly recommended!

Luxury log style home with views to Mt. Monadnock!
We had a wonderful stay at Debra's log cabin. Beautiful location, glorious and cozy home, and fun amenities. We played foos-ball and spent many lovely, peaceful hours in the cabin. Be careful in the winter/early spring as the walkways and driveway can get icy, but it's worth it to make it up them both.

Charming Brookside Artisan Home
This place was awesome. Would have enjoyed the outdoors and fire pit more if it didn’t rain. I would definitely recommend

Home in Northampton
Terry was amazing. We had an issue and couldn't check in on time and Terry worked with us. If we could come back and stay we definitely would!

Hillside Hideaway
What a gem of a place! Perfectly located to our daughter’s boarding school. We spent both parent’s weekends and graduation here, staying with multi-generations of our family. It has enough space in the great room for a small gathering. Just a wonderful spot that we highly recommend.

True Shangri-la, Country Retreat
My 11-day stay at Mary's was truly tranquil and restorative. The grounds are exquisitely maintained, full of color and delight. it was lovely to wake each morning see new blooms opening up into the day. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, allowing for outdoor meals & long afternoons reading on the back porch-the only sounds wind in trees, water in nearby streams, birdsong & in the evenings, the trill of peepers by the pond. all with the stunning view of the mountains in the distance. The house itself is beautifully appointed, furniture, beds, bedding and decor, all high quality. The kitchen is totally stocked with first-rate appliances, a joy to cook in. and I can say without any doubt, this is the only airbnb i've stayed in where the artwork and the books were EXCELLENT. Mary is the best kind of host- helpful, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive. Her attention to detail and kind consideration were likewise everywhere evident. I can't wait to return! thank you Mary!

Little House Clean and cozy
The minute we walked in the door we were so happy to see a beautiful, well cared for immaculate home. Not to mention the setting where the house is located, it is breathtaking. The kitchen had everything we would need to make any meals. The furniture was comfortable and the bed was amazing, the sheets and mattress - outstanding quality! Karen was the best host. We hope to stay in her home again.

Mountaintop Views, close to private schools, golf
Beautiful property! Fantastic deck and views, and spacious and modern inside. Great place for a weekend with friends!

Four Season Cozy Cottage on Lake Mattawa
We had a fantastic long weekend on Lake Mattawa. Came to celebrate our son’s graduation from UMass. It was an easy 30 minute drive to campus for graduation. The cottage was a perfect place to hang out as a family…we paddled, fished, played games and cooked. Enjoyed eating on the deck and loved having our morning coffee on the sun porch. Really liked the Quabbin Harvest Coop (awesome local produce and supplies) and had an amazing sandwich at the Corner Cafe. Hope to return!
