Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Amherst

Aung is a very helpful gentleman, after I left my personal stuff in the house he’s still very helpful to get everything back for me!

Mighty is fantastic! Her place is brimming with art and comfort, soft colorful rugs, creativity and spirit in every nook and cranny. So many thoughtful details from the toilet seat warmer to the lavender sachets. Just everything. But that lake that meets the back deck. It is magical. What a place and what a kind and caring host.

Great place to stay! Private and a beautiful area. Lauren was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Great stay! House was clean and comfortable. Thanks!

We were three couples coming together for a college reunion in the area. The house fit our needs perfectly with plenty of space to relax and cook. The fireplace was a godsend during a May nor'easter. Victoria left detailed instructions and welcomed us with thoughtful touches like popcorn and local restaurant recommendations. We just can't recommend it enough if you're looking in the area. Our only regret was that we were unable to enjoy the outdoor fire pit given the weather.

Very cute apartment and more than what we needed for a one night stay on a wedding weekend! The downstairs has a charming sitting room and spacious kitchen with fridge, stove, and laundry. The stairs were a bit steep so be cautious! Upstairs a comfy soft bed with window AC and a large bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower. Jennifer was very nice about our last minute request to check in early to change for a 4 PM wedding. We would stay here again if we come back to the area! Thanks so much!

I was planning on my proposal and wanted somewhere special. The window house was exactly that. Private, peaceful, super clean, amazing views and wildlife. Taylor and Marla were EXTREMELY good at communicating and getting back in a timely manner. If you and your significant other are looking to get away, this is the place. It’s sublime.

Magda was very friendly and cooperative!! Place was just as described. Not fancy, but comfy for a few people.

Karen's place is very comfortable, is well equipped for cooking and eating-in, and is creatively and simply designed. I love a firm mattress, and this bed is the most comfortable I've slept in outside of my own house! The bathroom is small but beautifully designed and doesn't feel cramped. Her street is a quiet one, and my stay was very peaceful. Karen herself is friendly, responsive, and down-to-earth. I felt right at home for the whole week, and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This is the second time I have stayed here but the first time in this particular room. Everything was extremely clean and exactly as described in her listing. This place is right across the street from my daughter’s dorm room so that was a big plus! We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the downtown apartment for two nights. Fabulous location and spacious loft like vibe. If you are looking to walk out the door and enjoy everything Northampton has to offer without having to get in the car, it’s a perfect spot.

We stayed 4 nights at Aisjah's beautiful rental for our daughter's wedding at Union Station Banquets. What a perfect location. Everything is within walking distance and yet the home is beautiful and quiet with gorgeous flowers all around. Absolutely spotless home that seems brand new; kitchen has new appliances and all the necessities and linens were plentiful and spotless. Bedrooms, living room and large full bathroom are upstairs while the kitchen and eating area are downstairs. Hope to have another opportunity to stay here!

Very comfortable apartment that provided that small things you sometimes forget.

beautiful place to stay! It was my boyfriend's 30th birthday and we spent the days walking around North Hampton & nights enjoying the big windows, high ceilings and fans with some records 😌. The shower is next level and my life won't be the same without it. Would love to stay more in the future!

Heather as always is the perfect host. She replinished supplies and changed sheets . I was there longer than my other visits. The space is back from the road and attached to her home,so it was quiet most of the time. School buses going to a nearby school could be heard briefly in the morning..around 7. I loved the paint colors ..new this time.

Such a serene, lovely cottage-like apartment. I felt totally safe and loved being able to walk on the trail nearby. With the kitchen and living room I was able to work all day in comfort in a space separate from the bedroom—perfect for doing my remote job while waiting for my UMass kid to finish exams. I really enjoyed my stay!

The home was perfect and the location was great to use as a base to explore fall colors and the small towns of southern Vermont .

Pacers Pasture is on a quiet road giving it a cute country experience in a great small town. The space has an amazing unfenced yard which was great for the dogs. Easy access inside with key entry, and we loved the door entry being toward the back of house for added privacy. The house has very comfortable linens, tons of parking, and the hottest water ever - which was perfect after a cold day adventuring. Aaron provides toiletries, some nice kitchen basics likes spices and teas/coffee, fast wifi-TV streaming, and a cozy space perfect for relaxing. Bonus points for being tastefully decorated and not overly cluttered. Would stay again!

Always an easy peaceful stay whenever we stay at David’s place. We will be back again

Ashley has a great place!! It was a fantastic place to visit with my friends and reminisce. Weirdly, this rental turns out to be the place my great grandparents lived and did business as my grandma grew up. I did not have any ghostly contact with my relatives in the apartment (I was kind of hoping and not hoping to see them 😂), but I still had such a meaningful time sitting in the spaces they did so many years ago. Ashley is an excellent host and I will come here again next time I “come home”. 😊

I had the pleasure of staying at the place owned by Gladys, and it was an unforgettable experience. When I arrived late at night, Gladys came to ensure my comfort and make me feel welcome. She greeted me warmly and even provided a snack, which was a thoughtful touch after a long journey. I was staying at Gladys's place because of my research internship at UMass, and her hospitality made my stay truly enjoyable. She genuinely cared about my comfort and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. One of the most memorable gestures was when she brought a Christmas tree to the apartment, adding a festive and cozy touch to the space. The apartment itself was exactly as described. Everything including the kitchen was clean, cozy, well-equipped, and well-maintained. What truly set this accommodation apart was the personal touch that Gladys brought to the experience. Her warmth and hospitality made me feel like more than just a guest; I felt like a valued friend.

My husband and I loved our stay at Jo Anne’s place, it was quite,clean private, easy access to parking and very affordable . Stocked with the necessities.

Beautiful and very clean space! We had the most wonderful long weekend at Goran's apartment. He was so responsive and super friendly... cannot recommend enough. We will be back!

Katie's place was great--very stylish, conveniently located, and well maintained/cleaned. Loved the renovation of the older building to create a contemporary space while incorporating some of the historic beams and brick work into the design. The living area and kitchen were spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. The beds were very comfortable. It was great to have a dedicated parking space. The street is busy and well lit, so we were happy to have ear plugs and eye shades when trying to sleep. The location is convenient to MassMOCA and some great restaurants. All in all, a fantastic stay!
