Family-friendly holiday rentals in Amherst

Couldn't say enough great things about both the hosts and the property. Just lovely home - very spacious, and clean and cosy. The area is gorgeous, with a lot to do. Mt. Snow and Hermitage skiing are very close, and Wilmington and the area are charming. Host was very gracious and kind..thank you!

We were four retired couples. Worldly travelers used to very comfortable surroundings. No TV was fine for this occasion. The farmhouse is designed with furniture comfortable for all, appointed in a farmhouse motif, of course, but the design aesthetic is of a quality respectful of its guests. "Good enough", never is. Obviously, the quality of consideration our Host has for the farmhouse presentation is treat your guest with respect and it will be reciprocated. One of the individuals commented, prior to even unpacking: "Perfect Place!" While it rained, we did not have the opportunity to enjoy the firepit, but some enjoyed the Hot Tub, as we all talked late into the night. This is located "close enough", 10 min drive to "civilization", to sites and shopping but it's really a more slightly secluded, private environment whereby a large family or, like us, distinct families can share comfortably, "come and go" separately together or stay together, together. We enjoyed ourselves.

Wonderful stay. The location was private and relaxing. The home was well stocked with all the amenities. Having the lake and kayaks available was perfect. Summer evenings under the stars and fireflies. Host was responsive and friendly. Look forward to staying again!

John went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay. It was a great place that accommodates many and the hot tub was relaxing after a long day of golf.

This is our second time staying in The Farmhouse, and our 5th or 6th time booking with Ginny. This property is very relaxing, we brought our three dogs and they loved the backyard. The house was clean and organized. We enjoyed breakfast on the farmers porch. The hot tub was nice. It’s a quick drive to downtown NoHo, Florence and EastHampton. So much to do in this area. We highly recommend.

We came as a group of friends with a baby to stay at Blake and Tracy's house, and we had a great stay. They were very communicative and accommodated all our requests to ensure our stay was excellent. They asked in advance if it would be okay for their child to stay in his room inside the house, and we agreed. We didn’t see him at all during our stay, and it didn’t disturb us in the slightest. The fact that Blake and Tracy live right next door was convenient, as they were readily available for anything we needed, but we never felt their presence. We will definitely come back!

Second time staying here, and we continue to love it! The location is great: pretty much anything in western Mass can be reached within about an hour or less from the house. At the house itself, you have a clean, comfortable, and ample space. The hot tub overlooking the river is definitely a highlight. The sounds of the river and the occasional rumble of trains passing by create a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Really nothing negative to say. We appreciate all extra personal touch the hosts left for us. I wish all ABNB locations had the same care and attention to detail for their guests.

Really lovely Airbnb in a beautiful location! I came with my dogs and they were right at home. This spot was truly a dog friendly location. They even provided dog bowls and beds! There was also a ton of room to run and play with them. You really can’t beat the location and view if you want to get away. I love that there are chairs both on the patio and in the lawn to enjoy the view. My husband and I were looking for a place to truly check out and get away from work and this was the perfect spot for that. The bed and couches were really comfy, the kitchen had all the basics and I love that there was a fireplace option, even if we didn’t need it. It rained a ton while we were there and the yard gets pretty soggy, so if you’re planning for outdoor playtime on a rainy day, bring your rainboots! 10/10 stay and we’re already talking about booking another weekend there.

A lovely place to stay. Beautiful view of the animals and mountains. Host was nice and accommodating.

Great stay and easy to find. Right in the downtown area. Short walk to many local restaurants.

Always a pleasure to stay here. Clean and quiet spot with everything you might need to make your stay pleasurable. I look forward to returning.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is incredible, you’ll have everything you’d need. Full of very thoughtful details. Very cozy, confortable and charming. The surroundings are beautiful and in a short drive you’d find anything you may need in Brattleboro. From dining to great coffee, groceries and more… I loved how simple and easy where the instructions for check-in and Out. Katherine was very friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

A great stay! The space was exactly as described and Carol and Robin were terrific hosts. East checkin and out and we loved the tea, milk and yogurt + homemade granola! It was very comfortable and cozy, surrounded by loads of books.

We needed a place for our family - 3 couples and 2 young children - to stay for the wedding of our daughter. Sarah's house was great. It had plenty of room for the kids to play inside as it rained a good part of our visit. (Fortunately the rain held off for the wedding.) Sarah provided eggs fresh from her chickens - they were delicious. She also gave us information about local restaurants. We saw wild turkeys walking outside the house. All in all a delightful stay.

We Minnesotans felt like we had a true New England experience during our delightful stay at Zachariah House! The decor made us feel like we had dropped into another century, yet we had all the modern conveniences, including cozy beds and delicious coffee. It was perfect for grandparents, parents, and baby.

Great for a group ski weekend. Plenty of space. Close to Mount snow. Has everything you need to cook a meal. Would definitely rent again!

very nice place! we slept very well! comfortable, quiet, relaxing! we would stay there again!

Great stay, had everything we needed. Host was very accommodating!

Wonderful place to stay for a family getaway - the view from the grounds was stunning and the kitchen is lovely and spacious for cooking! Loved the ping pong table and darts! Would recommend :)

We had a very nice stay for a family wedding. Sharing the house with two combined families in January and the house was great for this. There are rooms with 3-4 beds in each so if you are looking for bedroom privacy then this house probably isn’t it. That said, we are all family so was fun to bunk up! The area is beautiful and there r a great set of trails right at the end of the road for hiking, walking cross country skiiing etc. Overall, a great stay and Kimberly was very communicative with everything

My family had a wonderful stay at Susan’s place! It was very clean, well stocked, spacious, and accurately described. My toddlers especially loved playing with the toy trains. There was also a welcome bottle of wine with cheese and crackers which was so thoughtful. The location was great and only a short walk to town. We were visiting for a college reunion and will definitely look to stay here on future trips.

It was a quiet, peaceful stay! Loved the hot tub!

I got a great last minute deal on this place and am so so happy I stayed here! Fantastic location and truly such a lovely space. Felt right at home when I found our welcome gift of a bottle of wine, some cheese and crackers upon arrival! Thank you for having us Susan, we loved your home!
