Our only regret was that we didnât find this serene property until graduation time, otherwise we would have stayed here every time we visited our daughter in Northampton. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The outdoor property is gorgeous and full of wild life. The interior is very comfortable and tasteful Lou done.
Comfortable accommodations with a well stocked kitchen for making meals. Hosts were very congenial and accessible during our stay. Very relaxing while being close to all the Pioneer Valley has to offer.
This was an excellent place to spend a relaxing few days. Very cozy and felt like home. John was a great host and made everything very easy. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed our stay! The home was cozy, very roomy, with plenty of room for good times with family. We particularly enjoyed the open feeling and big picture window looking out on the grounds. The hosts were so nice and take great pride in their lovely home. We would definitely try to stay here again on our next visit to the area.
The house has a warm, rustic feel. The units are separated enough to provide privacy and quiet. The kitchen is very well stocked and set up. The owners couldnât be nicer. We liked it so much we already booked for next year.
The expansive view of this lodging was an unexpected surprise as was the warmth of the inviting kitchen and the book laden living room. There is a food co-op close by and downtown Northampton is not far away.The host was gracious and helpful and knowing that he was one floor below was a comfort to this solo traveler. If you want privacy, quiet, and peace, this location has it all.
Great getaway place that is off the main road and very quiet but only minutes from food, grocery, dispensaries, whatever you may need. Kitchen has pots, pans utensils and dishwasher. John is immediately responsive to texts. The only cons are the very thin bath towels and shower curtain that doesnât completely cover the shower. Would definitely stay again
Stayed in Mountainview while my daughter attended a dance workshop for the week. The beds, sheets, and pillows weâre comfortable. We stayed during a very humid heat wave, and the two mini splits in the bedrooms were sufficient to cool off the entire living space. The owners are on site and available for questions, but also gave us privacy and space. They offered vegetables and herbs from their gardens. There are many outdoor seating areas to enjoy. The property is well off the road but easily accessible to the downtown and major routes. I would highly recommend staying here!
Our too brief weekend in Easthampton was thoroughly enjoyable. It was just what we needed, quiet and serene. John and Jeff made us feel very welcome. Their dog âLeafâ is a treasure and a delight. It was clean and bright and we didnât need for anything. The library was chock full of books about architecture, Japanese gardens and all the classics of the culinary world. The kitchen was well equipped and a pleasure to cook in.
The gardens were just starting to bud out and the patio was a wonderful place to read and enjoy the sun. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. John and Jeff have created a lovely oasis of tranquility in the mountains of Massachusetts.
Staying at John and Jim's home was a privelege. Quietly located close to everywhere we needed to be., Fairgrounds, fun restaurants, shops, a Food Co-op. The home is spacious, thoughtfully furnished and decorated in a manner that felt personal to our hosts, willing to share with their guests for us to smile, dive in deep, or simply breathe. An inspiring garden, outdoor spaces with mountian views, all add to the sense of calm only nature provides. Cleanliness, quality of linens, attention to detail, and chef supplied kitchen wares all were part of this excellent property. My 14 year old daughter asked if we could come back . We were on the same page, and have booked for next year.
This place is very homey and has a great location for a visit to North Hampton and East Hampton area. There were a few minor inconveniences, especially during a very hot and muggy stay. First there is only two air conditioners in the bedroom, which meant that the living area and kitchen were very stifling at times even if you try to use fans to move the cold air from the bedrooms.
second, the people sharing the House, did not tell me that the kitchen fan didnât work, and when I turned it on when I was cooking on multiplications, they were quite invasive into the space. We were renting to tell me how loud it was for them. Again, this is something that shouldâve been disclosed before we started because no one wants someone banging their doors or getting in their face about a loud sound that couldâve easily been prevented by telling us not to do it.
Finally, the instructions for cleanup and trash, as well as towels, and linens were not quite clear so my suggestion is that they make a booklet with more detailed descriptions of what to do and where to put the trash and recycling.
My husband and I have stayed at Mountain View many times and always look forward to it and disappointed when there is not an opening when we want to visit Northampton. It is comfortable, a conveniently located, private, spacious, and quiet. If you enjoy large windows with views of the MA mountains, this is the place for you.
The apartment was in great shape, very well equipped and comfortable. The view from the picture window was beautiful. The hosts were very generous and accommodating.
Cute little spot, conveniently located. Quiet and cozy! Great kitchen! Beautiful view! Owners were helpful and communication was superb!! Canât wait to stay again!
This was a lovely rustic apartment overlooking a garden and meadow. They owners were chefs so the kitchen and the equipment actually function which is nice and not always true in other places. The owners live below and there is another unit rented next door, but the owners have taken a lot of care to soundproof the walls and create private outdoor spaces. I would absolutely stay again.
We'v stayed at Mountain View several times and always enjoyed the quiet, privacy, location near places we want to go, and comfort. We were allowed to check in early which we greatly appreciated. We look forward to returning in the future.
My second time staying here for an annual Horse Show! Clean, quality furnishing, huge lawn, garden, parking. A sense of privacy but minutes from a large well stocked Co-op and minutes to downtown Northampton. A culture of quality, conservation, Food and the arts are expressed by the interior design and fit out. Grateful to have found this special place.
We loved our two weeks in the country (but still so near to both Northampton and Easthampton!). John and Jim were great hostsâ they brought us sugar snap peas and let us chop dill and chives from the garden. Our dog enjoyed roaming the property even though he and the hostâs dog werenât best friends. So much beauty in the areaâ we will return!
Its convenient location: less than 10 minutes from the business districts of Northampton, Florence and Easthampton. Amherst is 25 minutes away. The house (mid-century modern) is situated at the end of a long driveway on 3 private acres, with souther views. Sound-proof construction between the 2 rental apartments.
