The Kimball upstairs was clean and functional. Potential guests need to know 2 things: the 2nd bedroom with 2 twin beds is only accessible by going through the bedroom with the one king bed. Also, there's another rental unit in the basement beneath this one and we could hear everything happening in the basement: people talking, sneezing, coughing, snoring at night, music, etc. which made us lose a bunch of sleep.

This apartment met our needs perfectly for a place that was comfortable, clean and close to everywhere we needed to be. The owners definitely take pride in keeping their property well-maintained and welcoming, including a lot of extras that we much appreciated! Fresh eggs, apples and cranberry bread in the refrigerator, along with all the basic cooking supplies in the cupoard. The king size bed we slept in was REALLY comfortable, and it was nice to relax in a truly homey environment at the end of a long day!

This was a beautiful clean property. Everything you need was there. The owners left fresh bread and butter! Wish I could have stayed longer.

5.0
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 was awesome about communicating every step of the way. The rental was very comfortable, with everything clearly labeled. Checking in and out could not have been easier. Thanks for a pleasant stay!

We were in town for a lacrosse tournament. I needed a place to just rest, relax, and regroup. It was perfect! Thank you so much, Lee and Bill. Everything is clean we had everything we needed. And we loved the snacks. You left us!

We enjoyed the total privacy of this 2-bedroom farmhouse with full refrigerator, 2 showers, separate livingroom, and king bed in one room and 2 twin beds in the other. It was a toasty 90 degrees, so we definitely used the ceiling fans. Would recommend visiting in the fall or early spring.
5.0
I appreciated Lee’s flexibility in allowing for early check in. There were also nice touches of fresh eggs and tea bread. The space was nicely furnished and a great place to decompress after the day.
My only FYI to future guests is that the two bedrooms are connected. In order to access the bedroom with twin beds you have to walk through the King size bed room, there’s no others access point. It works out when your group has the same sleep schedule or if you put the heaviest sleeper in the larger room.

All of the basics: clean, comfortable, and everything worked, well stocked kitchen, plus adjacent to a walk along a stream to Puffer Pond, six eggs in the fridge and cranberry bread. It was as if the host is a traveler herself and included everything she might like to find in accommodations.
5.0
Lovely accommodations. Very convenient to all locations of interest. Would highly recommend.
5.0
The rental itself was the equivalent to a small apartment and the bathroom was huge. Overall the only "issue" would be that you can hear noise from the downstairs rental. Even then it wasn't excessive and my wife and I agreed if we ever have to go down that way again we would try to rent here.
4.0
This property is exactly as posted -- odd space configuration with the most basic of furnishings. Clean with fluffy towels, comfortable bedding and generous snacks of eggs, coffee, tea bread, granola bars and apples. Excellent communication with owner and easy walk to Cushman Market and Cafe for provisions and meals.
5.0
We found the Kimball apartment to he perfect for our stay in Amherst. It was very comfortable and had excellent amenities. Thoughtfully prepared rooms in excellent condition. Nice sheets and towels. Close to cafe and market, trails and pond. Easy drive or bike ride to campus or downtown. Host was considerate and responsive. We highly recommend this host and apartment.
5.0
We found our accommodations to be comfortable and appropriate for an older couple with physical limitations. Kimball Upstairs was well-appointed and easily accessed with a walker by ramp. Should we ever again need lodging in Amherst, we will attempt first to stay at Kimball Upstairs.
5.0
We were very satisfied with the property we stayed at while in Amherst. Lee was extremely responsive and available. The home has everything needed for cooking and enjoying the porch. The location is very central and it was so nice to be within walking distance to great hiking trails. We especially loved watching the hummingbirds! We hope to stay again in the future.
5.0
Nice and quiet place
We really enjoyed staying here. The unit was clean, bright and spacious. Nice large bathroom and the king size bed was very comfortable.
The snacks and eggs provided for us were a nice touch. Also, my husband forgot his toothbrush and toothpaste and we were glad there was an extra toothbrush kit and soaps and shampoo in the bathroom.

A wonderful roost at former egg farm
We arrived at 86 Bridge street in the late evening, after a full day of visiting family in eastern and western Massachusetts. The property was perfect-very quiet and secluded, clean, and ready for our arrival. Our group of three adults enjoyed the spacious apartment and porch and walking to the pond, waterfall, and excellent breakfast place the next morning. Topped off our very pleasant stay with coffee on the porch watching the humming birds at the feeders. Highly recommended for folks seeking a quiet and seculuded spot that is very close to UMass, Amherst Center, and Northampton.
5.0
This was by far the best place we stayed on our East Coast college tour. It was large, clean, and super comfortable. The owners really put a lot into the place including, but not limited to, foaming soap dispensers, silicone hot mitts hanging on the oven door handle, magnetic hand held shower heads on both (yes they have two showers in the bathroom), and razors (which came in really handy since I forgot my shaver for the first time in my life). Easy access to UMass Amherst and walking distance to Puffer's Pond- we will be staying here anytime we're back in the area.

The place is a bit far from Amherst College, but there’s no traffic to talk of. The place is strangely set up with residents of the second bedroom having to walk through the first to get to the bathroom and kitchen. The owners left a lot of goodies, including breakfast makings. The beds were excellent. I’d return. I inadvertently took your room key. Send me an address and I will send it back to you.

My mom and I were looking for a space in North Amherst. It was 1/2 a mile from the people we were visiting! Comfortable beds. The bed rooms are connected so you need to go through the other persons room to use the potty at night. Not terrible but good to know.
5.0
Perfect Stay!
Pleasant place to stay, quiet location felt remote but was within reasonable drive to many of the attractions in area we wanted to see. The upstairs apartment was actually ground level and was very nice, large, and quiet (didn’t hear other guests at the downstairs apartment at all). Host has space well kept and prepared with everything we needed (and bonus treats). Highly recommend, we will definitely be back. Also highly recommend any visitors to area check out New Salem Orchard, West County Cider, and Ragged Hill Orchard and Cidery - all short drives from this stay.

We four came in from Europe and Boston to celebrate Hampshire College’s 50th. It was a very quiet place which was most important. I thought there would be more walkable outdoor space but as it turned out, we weren’t there much!
The only downside was the need to walk through one bedroom to get to another. But the personal touches (homemade bread, plenty of tea and coffee) were sweet and much appreciated.

Residential neighborhood with walking trails...
I didn't feel like I was "on vacation", I felt like I was living in a pleasant place. With Cushman's Market a short distance away, wooded walking trails and everything you need where you're staying, what more could you ask?

We make at least yearly trips to the Valley and have always stayed at the local HoJos or EconoLodge. This year we decided to try a vrbo rental and we’re so glad we did! The property was centrally located within just a few minutes drive of downtown Amherst, but SO much quieter than the hotels on RT. 9. We each had our own room with comfortable beds, a living room AND a comfortable 3-season porch, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large bathroom with both a tub and a walk-in shower. We stayed for a total of 4 nights and it was the most relaxing stay we’ve ever had in the Valley. We’re looking forward to returning on all future trips to the Valley!

Great rental in quiet pleasant setting!
We were just coming into the area for a one night stay, but this rental was the perfect option. In a quiet rural setting just outside Amherst with plenty of room to spread out and very comfortable beds for all. Hosts were very good at communicating and instructions were clear. Would definitely stay here again...5 star rating!

A spacious and comfortable apartment within easy driving distance of Amherst, with a great cafe just two blocks away, and a nearby walking path to a delightful pond and natural area.
