About this cabin rental

The Glow Room at Indian Hollow is a history-rich 1850 post & beam barn, renovated in a light-filled, post modern style.

Imagine getting out of your car, opening the screen door to a big porch that overlooks a leaping mountain brook, deep enough to dunk in. Then pass through the strap-hinged front door and into a glowing pine-paneled great room with giant windows, a big wood stove, 3 Chesterfield couches, dining area and kitchen. You see the forest all around you, but you're inside, ready to unwind.

Upstairs, the loft features the master bedroom (sleeps 2, queen) and a reading/games room (can sleep 2, futon).

Walking into the ell, you pass the bathroom, the 'room with no purpose,' and the guest bedroom (sleeps 2, futon) which opens onto the back deck, where the barbecue is, and the sound of the leaping waters.

In summer the lawn is thick and lush, and you are surrounded with pines, birches, maples and mountains. Chauncey Brook forms the east border & offers a serene and ferny welcome; overlooking it, there's a beautiful firepit surrounded by log benches. The southern border is the Dead Branch Brook with its refreshing plunge pools.

About a 1/4 mile downstream it joins the East Branch of the Westfield River, a federally-designated 'Wild and Scenic River.' We will provide you with maps and information about the area, which contains extraordinary opportunities for picnicking, fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, x-country skiing, snow-shoeing, photography and painting. And being alone, with someone you want to be alone with.

This property is designed to inspire the maximum enjoyment of the 15+ square miles of open space that begins at its doorstep. The Glow Room is a launching pad.

To amplify the quiet and help you unplug, there is no internet service (bring DVDs for your laptop). New cell phones work, but will drop out.

It’s an overworked word, I know, but I can’t think of a better way to describe the many discoveries and unexpected beauties this property offers. The cabin is as cozy and lovely as the photos show, and unusually well-appointed for a rental. The forest and water and wildflowers that surround it are even better. I loved the remote location, too.

Wow, where to start? Staying in your cabin was a highlight of our trip to the area to tour colleges with our teens. Yes, the cabin is not super close to the colleges & yes, the cabin had no wi-fi or phone service for us, but still, we would stay here again in a heartbeat & whole heartedly recommend it to others who don’t mind trading a lack of connectivity to gain time in this homey cabin where every detail is so thoughtfully considered and to have all the wonderful, uncrowded nature right outside your door.

I think if I wrote everything I wanted to say, it would be a novel, so I’ll keep it short. The Glow Room is a beautiful place. It is clean, spacious, and in the most peaceful area. I highly recommend this home if you’re looking to get away from everything.

We had one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives at the magical waterfall nearby this little house (accessible only by an interesting 30' hike). The Glow room itself was nice inside- clean and airy, and the beds were comfortable I was disappointed that there was no screened in outdoor space to hang out (there is a front porch, but it is not kept up well or furnished to relax). But if you like to hike, and love a babbling brook, then the location is a joy.

Once we figure out how to get in and that internet and phone were a way off top of hill 1/2 mile away from house we adjusted and enjoyed the peace and quiet I should have researched this listing more thoroughly only 1 bathroom on 2nd floor made it prohibiting for someone my age who gets up frequently to use the bathroom other than those issues it was fine

From the moment we stepped out of our car, we knew this was a one of a kind place. The sound of the water was intense and exhilarating, but as soon as we stepped inside the house, the environment changed to one of quiet, peace, and warmth. The first thing we noticed was all the beautiful, one-of-a-kind pottery that included mugs, bowls, basket with handle, and the gorgeous tiles that lined the chimney. Turns out the owner is a talented artist! The house is quirky with a wide ranging collection of vintage and found objects but neatly assembled and tied together with crisp modern white walls and warm wood floors and structures of various shades. We enjoyed the wood stove and the warm, comfortable beds at night and headed out to explore the area and (attend a wedding!) Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home!
