About this cottage rental

Located in Massachusetts, this lovely cottage for $150 per night is a great choice for your next break. This newly renovated cottage is located atop a hill overlooking the Wild and Scenic Westfield River surrounded by state forest and protected land. Wildlife abounds and we are a birder's haven. Many a morning you can watch mist arising from the river. Walk out the door to hike, mountain bike, snowshoe, or ski in the woods. Groomed cross country ski trails are nearby. Notchview Reservation, 20 minutes away has in my opinion the best XC skiing in Western Massachusetts.We are located midway between The Berkshires with its many cultural activities and the Pioneer Valley, home to the Five Colleges: U Mass, Smith, Amherst, Mt Holyoke, and Hampshire College. The cottage sleeps four (1 BR for 2, 2 built-in twins by the wood stove). The kitchen is fully equipped. We have installed an ethernet cable which brings the broadband service directly to the Cottage. The Connection is flawless.The owner lives on the property in the main home near to the cottage.

We could not have asked for a more peaceful weekend experience. Joyce and John are incredibly gracious hosts. It's amazing that they are willing to share this gorgeous property with the rest of the world. Fresh air, night skies, nature, and silence. You'll leave energised for sure!

This stay was just what we needed! The 2 beds in the living room were perfect for our 2 teenagers, and we were very comfortable in our bedroom. I loved the soaking tub and my kids were obsessed with the nightly porcupine spottings! My favorite part was drinking tea and playing boardgames by the fireplace. Thanks for the hospitality! We plan to return in warmer weather so we can enjoy the screened in porch and the pool.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in October, and it really wasn’t long enough. The view from the cottage was lovely, the yard was beautifully planted with bushes and flowers, and we even saw a porcupine raiding the apple tree, twice! We enjoyed some light cooking in the updated kitchen and relaxing on the screened porch. It was the perfect place for a quiet getaway for two.

Beautiful, peaceful property that's a great jumping off point for the many activities that Western Mass has to offer. Easy to find using Waze.

This was just what my husband and I needed. Absolutely charming small and very well appointed cottage up on the hill overlooking a beautiful wilderness vista. We wanted to unplug and enjoy a peaceful quiet week and this did not fail us. John and his wife were so kind and giving. The local Creamery Coop is a sweet gem of a place to shop and eat. You feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere but just 1/2 hour from two decent sized towns in case there’s anything you needed. Would absolutely visit again! Thanks for an amazing stay!

We traveled to the area for a family wedding and spent three nights at the clearing. The house was perfect for our use and couldn't have been in a more beautiful part of the state. We would highly recommend it and John was a wonderful host.
