Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Franklin County

We spent a long weekend at Sweet Water Farm with extended family - what a treat this was! There was plenty of space for us all and the bedrooms were arranged in a way that there was privacy but also great common areas to be together. The house is tucked away at the end of a quiet dead end road. We enjoyed spending time at the house - s'mores by the fire, on-property hiking trails, and beautiful views - but also time out and about exploring the history and beauty of the area. Meals were simple to make for a crowd as the kitchesthad plenty of pots, pans, utensils, etc. of all shapes and sizes. I love AirBNBs but sometimes directions can be confusing. We really appreciated the many clear notes around the house explaining house expectations and agreed it was the best we have seen at any AirBNB! Our host was very responsive and accommodating, everything in the home was as described and easy to use/find, and set us up for a wonderful weekend of family memories. Highly recommend!

Lovely house at on a private cul-de-sac. Lots of room for 3 adult couples in town for a family wedding. Well appointed kitchen. Each couple had a separate bathroom, handy when getting ready for the wedding. Enjoyed hanging out in the comfortable common spaces. Sharing take out in the formal dining room one night was a treat. Beautiful back yard with patio and open porch surrounded by trees.

We had a wonderful 5 days at the house and felt right at home. The location is very secluded and peaceful which is exactly what we wanted. It felt very cosy with the woodburning stove. Despite the freezing temperatures we felt very warm and comfortable. We had some communication with Debra beforehand as one of our party had recently broken her arm and conditions at the house were snowy and icy. Debra was very concerned for our safety and was proactive in letting us know the conditions and willing to let us change the date of our booking if we wanted (we didn't), which we very much appreciated. We were met at the property by Jorma who kindly showed us around the house and how to use the woodburner, he also checked in on us a couple of times via text to make sure all was going well. We were provided with lots of info and recommendations about the local area, trails, and things to do. We also had a lovely gift basket on our arrival. Thanks for a lovely vacation!

We had a great time. Actually had heavy snow our first morning that added to the ambiance. Kitchen had everything we needed. We were visiting my daughter at Smith College and enjoyed the contrast between Northampton and the countryside of Ashfield. Looking forward to returning to take advantage of the hiking.

This home is in the midst of beautiful trees and well off the beaten path. My parents accompanied me to visit my daughter at Smith College, and they said they felt “at peace” in this place and would gladly stay there again. My father marveled at the heating/furnace system (he went down to see the huge pellet bag in the basement and wanted to talk with Mary about how it all worked), which is state-of-the-art and makes the large house a constant comfortable temperature. Mary was very responsive and kept us informed, and my parents visited with her when I was in Northampton for a morning. (My father said he could have talked to Mary all day.) For them, the staircase leading up to the bedroom was a bit challenging, and that would be the only downside to our stay. We had everything we needed, and our mantra whenever we were looking for something was “Mary probably thought of that.” Thank you for everything!

Everything was great. The duplex is in a quiet neighborhood, yet a very short walk to Main street and walkable to Smith College. We were concerned about the railroad when reserving the stay, but at least with the windows closed (it was cold during our visit), you don't hear the trains unless you really pay attention. All amenities are as described. There was plenty of space for the three of us. We cooked quite a bit, and there were more than enough kitchen utensils. The living room couch was different from the orange one in the pictures, but Mina warned us a day before our arrival that they had changed it. It is now brown leather with cozy furry pillows. We have not met Mina, all communication was electronic. She responded very quickly to all questions.

This was our fourth time staying at Brooksley's place, and we're sure to be back again in the future, too. The proximity to Northampton is perfect -- close enough for a quick drive to Smith and into town, but just far enough away to feel peaceful and quiet. The hosts responded very quickly to any of our questions or needs, and this was much appreciated.

Beautiful space, super fun closet full of toys for the little ones. Amazing music and movie collections. Only critique is that there are a lot of ladybugs in the front bedroom, so if you have small children or hate bugs, just be aware that they might be there. Everything else was great!

I needed a local getaway while some work was being done on my house, and Peter's place was perfect. Comfortable, quiet, clean, and in a beautiful, rural location. Served my needs perfectly, and I will definitely recommend it to visiting friends and family.

Wonderful lakeside unit with great views and interior. Clean, spacious, cozy place, host was very helpful and communicative. Would stay here again!

Shannon's fantastic apartment was perfect for our stay in Northampton. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable throughout our entire week long stay. The brick walls are super cool, the living room is incredibly cosy and the large windows let in great light. We easily cooked meals and picked up morning smoothies at Woodstar Cafe, right behind the apartment building. Highly recommend. If you need any groceries, State Street Fruit Store is a quick walk and they have everything you might need. Shannon had coffee and tea and a great coffee maker ready to go for us, including coffee filters. The apartment was clean, well stocked and Shannon checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed, offering to drop off more linens/towels if necessary (it wasn't). This is the 3rd place we have stayed in Northampton and by far our favorite. We definitely would stay here again and have no reservations about recommending it to anyone.

Erin is lovely and so is her carriage house. A huge winter storm came in just before my arrival--lots of snow and many trees down, lost power, etc. In spite of all this, Erin had cleared a parking space for me, shoveled and sanded both driveway and walk ways. The kitchen area was a bit hard to heat but the upstairs bedroom and beautiful sitting area were toasty warm, spacious and very comfortable. I hope one day I'll return in the warmer months when I can be out in the beautiful countryside all around. It's a gorgeous area!

Lovely apartment, everything perfect

My fiancé, son and I stayed here while we were looking at colleges. We absolutely fell in love with the place. The AirBnB is beautiful. The artwork and decor is modern and funky. It's got a wonderful, welcoming vibe. We loved using the record player and the album collection. It rained all weekend so it was fun to play video games and ping pong. When the rain let up we walked to the rail trail. We also walked to the corner market and other stores on Main St. Ginny is proactive, responsive and friendly. I highly recommend booking a stay here. We plan on returning soon!

This was a great space for a getaway with my husband. This is the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in! This was very impressive and greatly appreciated! We live in the area, and it is a great location close to a ton of things to do (outside and inside) and a wide selection of restaurants in multiple directions. The location was quiet and felt private. Lindsey was super communicative and very responsive. Internet worked great (which was an issue in some other airbnbs we've stayed in). It was well stocked with appliances, and all the things we could need for our stay (we love a good king bed). We highly recommend!

The Country Corner was a comfy place for our trio of friends but none of us could imagine sharing the space with more than one more person. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful and the apartment was clean. While this weekend was an "escape" for all of us from our own kids, we all commented that it'd be the perfect place to stay with kids because of all the outdoor toys and activities in the backyard. Katie was timely with check-in and check-out instructions and even sent us dining recommendations shortly after check-in. Thanks for a quiet weekend "away," Katie!
