Amherst, Massachusetts
Peaceful log cabin apartment on 8 acre property. Beautiful gardens, fall foliage, and steps away from Atkins Reservoir and Robert Frost Trails. Great area for hiking and biking! 5 minutes from Amherst College and UMass. Close to Hampshire College, Smith College, and Mount Holyoke as well.
Our listing is Northeast of the campuses, which is awesome for high traffic travel times. Most people visiting these campuses are coming from the other directions.
Even though we are within 5 minutes of the Colleges and Amherst Center, we are nestled on the North side of Mount Boreas, kitty-corner to the Atkins Reservoir, and steps away from Robert Frost Trails. You will find yourself surrounded by quiet wilderness and only a short drive to everything else you need.
You have private access to the pool house/cozy cabin which includes entryway, main living area, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. In addition, you may use the deck around the apartment. Please enjoy the patio furniture we have provided. You will also have shared access to the pool area during the day (Last week of May through First Week of September). For safety reasons, we ask that you do not swim after dark. We may need to open the pool late or close early due to weather, schedules, etc.
The guest door is located halfway around the right side of the home (in a little alcove). This is your private entrance. You will be provided a keyless entry code before you arrive. This gives you the freedom to check in anytime between 3p and 12a and check out anytime before noon.
The bathroom has a walk-in 1 person shower stall. There is no bathtub available.
Some cell phone carriers have limited service at our listing. We have provided a landline that is available for unlimited calling in the US and Canada. You are more than welcome to share the landline number with those that you need to keep in contact with. Please just share your check out dates with them, so they do not call future guests :).
We also provide free WIFI, so you can connect your mobile devices for access to internet-based communication applications.
Free Parking in the driveway for up to two cars. Public transit is available with the nearest bus stop just over 1 mile from our location through the PVTA bus line.
We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet of this location, as well as the well-stocked kitchen and kind gestures (such as the bag of cider donuts on arrival along with some cold bottled water.) Heather was easy to communicate with and Betsy was wonderfully attentive and responsive. We highly recommend this cute little pool house, perhaps especially for a couple.
This was a lovely place just a short distance away from the bustle of campus life. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and cozy amenities and the warm hospitality of our hosts. We look forward to returning!
Beautiful property in a quiet area. Well-furnished private apartment stocked with sensible kitchen and bathroom accessories. A land-line phone is available if you do not get cell service and designated spots make parking a breeze. The pool was also great to have.
We enjoyed our stay
We loved our stay here. The property was beautiful, the cottage/house was cozy and charming, and the hosts were wonderful and helpful! We'd love to return!
Such a great getaway Heather was extremely attentive when we were planning everything and Betsy and Jim were able to answer any questions we had over the weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook dinner. The fireplace made for a great movie night next to the fire. Will definitely return!
Nice property. Well cared for.
The property was exactly as described and in the perfect location for dropping our son off at UMass. We will definitely be booking it again for move-out. The on-site caretakers were lovely to chat with as well!
Betsy and Jim were fantastic hosts. They made us feel very welcomed and offered knowledge about the area. It also felt very private and just like the country getaway we needed!
We felt very welcome in this pretty, comfortable space overlooking beautiful gardens and a swimming pool. Our hosts were warm and helpful.
