Sunny Chalet Nestled in the Woods of Ashfield

The perfect spot for a quiet weekend. Super comfy and beautiful place, highly recommended.

My family of 5, plus a niece and her partner, (and our two dogs) rented this VRBO for the weekend to attend and celebrate my son's graduation from UMass. There was plenty of space and beds for everyone, and the house was beautiful. Lots of plants and very nicely decorated. There is also a nice trail leading from the back of the house up a hill if you like to walk/hike. Definitely check for ticks when you return though. We brought crates for the dogs so they wouldn't go on the furniture/beds while we were gone or sleeping, which worked out fine. The yard is not fenced in, but you can set up barriers on the (expansive) porch ends, so the dogs can go outside to sun.Hannah was very communicative. She gave me recommendations in advance for dinner places to celebrate my son's graduation, and she got back to me promptly when I had questions while there. The beds were comfortable, the curtains in the bedrooms were dark enough, and the showers were hot enough. One of the futons was in a loft area at the top of the stairs and was not sheilded from the morning light. The kitchen was well appointed and also had some spices as well as teas and coffees.Would definitely recommend this house. Wish we could have stayed there for a couple of extra days.

Place was great and great communication from the host.

Great house in an unusually lovely place: herb and flower gardens, hummingbirds, good hiking trail from the backyard, 6 minutes to Ashfield Lake for swimming - watch for the bald eagle that flies over the lake - ice cream within walking distance, fresh corn…the place is just perfect.

Hannah's place was spectacular. It was just the right combination of plugged in and unplugged. We loved the fact that we could come inside into a climate controlled house and also be so close to swimming, falls and outdoor play. Hannah stocked the house with all the necessary amenities including adequate cleaning supplies to make sure we could tidy up after our 3 & 5 year old. Great jumping off point for Ashfield Lake, Chapel Falls, and slightly farther jaunts to the Holyoke Children's Museum and Look Park. Perfect stay to being our pup and let her enjoy the outdoor hiking and water nearby. Ten out of ten, would recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sunny Chalet in Ashfield! Hannah the host is highly communicative & supportive, & her herbal business on the property is sublime (definitely partake of the teas!). We gathered a small collection of family members to celebrate an 80th birthday and our two teens and 4 adults (40s-80) were all beautifully comfortable in the equisite home. Every space is provisioned thoughtfully and enhanced with gorgeous plants and artwork. Whether the weather is stormy or clear, the beauty of nature is visible all around in every comfortable room and the wrap-around deck is delightful. It would have been good to understand from the main Vrbo listing that A/C is in the main space & upstairs master bedroom but not in the other bedrooms (which do have fans!), and that laundry is only available for longer stays, but those slight hiccups were nothing compared to the overall care and beauty of the home, property, and attentive host communication. Plus Ashfield is awesome generally, and the local beach is our favorite & such a short drive from the house! We will definitely return.

Great spot for a friends' getaway! The house is spacious with a bright, big living room perfect for gatherings. The location is stunning, nestled in a beautiful area with a hiking trail right in the backyard. Plus, there are interesting places to visit nearby like Historic Deerfield and Shelburne Falls. The only downside was some machinery noise from the first floor, especially at night. Overall, a lovely stay!

First of all we didn’t have heat or hot water until noon on our second day there. The owner didn’t get back to us until several hours after reaching out. Which is why I had to reach out to VRBO. No one could shower. Thank god there was a fireplace so we were able to keep warm until it was fixed, which was done so by us. Second, I specifically contacted the owner regarding internet and if the WiFi was good so we could bring a fire stick to watch football for the day on Sunday. The owner responded yes, internet is good, but neglected to inform me that they did not have a television. Also, there were many dirty dishes, pots and pans. Very disappointed with our stay.

We were all very rested and relaxed. We enjoyed the beautiful spaces to sit and enjoy each other’s company. The chalet, flowers and setting made a terrific base to come and go from as we celebrated a family wedding.

Usually I stay in the area with family but we were visiting for a wedding and needed more space. Absolutely loved it here and would stay again!

Perfect spot for a girls get away. We came to the area to see a show at the Treehouse in Deerfield and would return just to stay at the house again. Hannah was amazing and communicative and her dog Tilly was just an absolute peach!
