About this house rental

Situated in Northampton, this attractive house for $269 per night is a great option for your next break. This property is perfect for people who appreciate the charms of a newly renovated 160 yr. old mill house. Sleep on high quality mattresses with cotton bedding. Enjoy the culture, food, and natural world of the 5-college area from this cozy home base. Free early check-in or late check-out when available. The house has two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs and is solely for the use of guests. Guests also have use of the back yard and a bike shed. Sustainability practices abound, beginning with a renovation focused on maximizing energy efficiency and reuse of materials, to the environmentally friendly products, washable cloths in lieu of paper towel, garbage cans that get washed instead of lined with plastic bags, etc. Unscented, eco-friendly cleaning products are used in the house and on the bedding for the safety and comfort of guests and the environment. Please read rules about dogs: not on furniture, must be on flea/tick prevention, must not be left unattended if not crated, pick up after them. Please note: It is an outdoor shoes-off house. Indoor shoes are fine. Bay State Village is a friendly, safe, walkable neighborhood where people wave "hi" and children play in the street. It is a 1.5-2 mile walk to Smith College and downtown Northampton along house-lined streets, or 1 mile to downtown Florence. Guests can drive to downtown Northampton and park in the parking garage where the first hour is free. There is a swimming hole in the Mill River 2 blocks away, with in-town walking trails nearby. Valley Bike Share with pedal assist bikes has a new bike station at the end of the block, along with our one neighborhood restaurant (Pho Boston) and you can easily get to the bike path that will take you by farm fields and converted mill buildings. The house has a shed that guests can use for your own bikes.

The house was clean and has many nice features, such as an electric kettle and tea bags. Bedrooms are nicely furnished with extra blankets, fans, and closet hangers. Bathroom is big with both a tub and shower. The quiet fan above the shower was surprisingly effective. I had never stayed in a short term rental like this before and was unfamiliar with check-in and check-out policies, but it was all very easy. Debra told us everything we needed to know and was very helpful. It was very comfortable and we will likely return for future Smith events.

Thanks to Debra for having such a lovely property! The two air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs were just what we needed to be comfortable on a hot weekend. On Saturday evening, our daughter joined us in her very own bedroom on the first floor which was a terrific break from the dorm. We were able to bake tailgate treats in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoy family meals together in the dining room. It was just the perfect spot for a weekend away! 20 minutes to Orchard Hill so it was a simple trip to and from campus.

We really enjoyed the property and the area. The house had everything we needed, was clean, and dog friendly. We would definitely stay again.

The house is very clean and thoughtfully appointed. We appreciated the lack of fragrance. One thing to be aware of if you are traveling with anyone with mobility issues is that the bathroom is on the second floor.

This stay was wonderful. We felt very comfortable in the house and appreciated the cleanliness of the house and furnishings. The kitchen had a good variety of condiments and tea/coffee and plenty of space for us to bring in our groceries for the stay. Access to streaming channels (Netflix and other Apps) was great on the TV, but did not have live TV (cable news, cable channels, live local channels). That was ok for us though. Big claw foot bath tub was so nice! I highly recommmend visiting The Pie Bar in Florence for baked treats for breakfast! Takes about 30 minutes to drive over to UMass Amherst Campus.

In addition to being exceptionally clean and quiet the home is thoughtfully and fully equipped with anything you might need in kitchen and bath. Everything from the TV to the wifi to the air conditioners works well. The host provides lots of information and is friendly and easy to reach. Great place. Thank you Debra.

Debra was kind, courteous and prompt in responding. Family stayed for a wedding and she went out of her way to accommodate our changing plans due to the heat wave. The field flowers and cookies on arrival were the loveliest. ❤️

Debra was a fantastic host and her place was a breath of fresh air just minutes away from everything in Northampton. Check in was a breeze and our stay was even more easeful. Everything you need & want, you'll find at Debra's spacious and relaxing accommodations - including a lovely bath I, as a 6'3" tall man, hadn't found I could comfortably fit into in years. Overall, stop looking for the perfect place to stay in Northampton, you've found it.

Lovely Home

Lovely Home

When we arrived we were greeted by a plate of chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen (which were delicious). The house is very cozy, with lots of character and very clean. It’s located in a lovely little residential neighborhood, a short drive from downtown Northampton and walking distance to a great nature walk. A couple notes: if inviting other guests to stay with you (the home has 2.5 bedrooms), definitely tell Debra before your stay (that was our mistake), but there is also an additional $40 per person per night rate. There are also quite a few house rules - no shoes, no perfume, specifics about the bathroom fan, use of the kitchen, etc. It’s also asked that you start the laundry before you leave, which is fine, but you do also pay a substantial cleaning fee upfront. All of that said, we still had a great time and would recommend.

What a wonderful weekend at Debra's house! Every step of the process with Debra was incredibly easy and stress free. From booking to check in to leaving. Our group even needed hike recommendations and Debra was kind enough to call us on a holiday to discuss several options (complete with some personal local history!). I'd highly recommend this property to anyone interested. It was an absolute joy dealing with Debra, and the house itself is adorable and incredibly comfortable.
