Make your home for a time in light-filled luxury surrounded by acres of old trees. Then drive 10 minutes into Amherst for graduation, reunion, or dinner. With leather furniture, Persian rugs, oil paintings, and walls of books, you can enjoy our home as we designed it for ourselves. Parties are prohibited. The 3,400 square-foot house has fiber-optic high-speed internet for remote work, central heat and A/C, two new high-end eco beds and an excellent Brooklyn Bedding king, feather pillows and down comforters, a jacuzzi in the primary bathroom, blackout shades in all bedrooms, a 55" QLED TV in the finished basement (HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix), musical instruments, a study and multiple work desks, exercise equipment, a full compliment of spices, oils, and dry goods for cooking, a barbecue grill, and nearly any item needed to care for small kids, including a crib/toddler bed (on request). At the large dining table, you can celebrate with your family and friends on the border between nature and world-class universities just north of Amherst. The main house can accommodate 7 people comfortably. If you have 9 in your party, please inquire about our garage apartment, which has a second kitchen and another full bath. (For a total of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.) You can find the listing by clicking on Christine's profile. (The dates are blocked but available for the times the house is for rent.) The spaces are separate and private, and have only a short section of shared wall. While not a full-time AirBnb, the main house is uncluttered, and you’ll have ample room to unpack your things, with empty drawers in all dressers, closet space, and tables and vanities cleared of personal items. You also won't have to look at a thousand photographs of our nieces and nephews! Two-car garage, 5-car maximum for the house. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are 15 minutes away in Hadley.
