Mountain View: Comfort and Calm. Wood-burning Fireplace.

What a magical and peaceful spot. John and Jim’s Mountain View suite was better than I anticipated. From the professional open kitchen and the massive living room window to the art and details, I kept finding a reason to smile. Also, a great dining room if you're traveling with friends.Quick commutes to Cottage Street for shopping, the fab Tip Top Wine Shop and tasty Daily Operations (get the soft serve!). Also close to Mass Audobon Arcadia, where you can loop shady trails for a brief or long hike. Northampton is also a short drive (10 minutes), and a great hotspot for cafes, used bookstores, and plenty of restaurants.Will definitely return for a longer stay!

This was a very pleasant stay in the upper (ground level) floor of a small house right between Northampton and Easthampton. There is a view of a wide expanse of lawn bordered by woods on one side, and a patio with pretty flowers on the other side, and birds all around. John, who lives in the lower level, greeted us. He was very friendly and responded quickly to our phoned questions. Inside, the rooms were somewhat larger than I expected. The living room has nice picture windows and a comfortable, lived-in quality, with books on the shelves and games in a closet. The bathroom is comfortable and I liked the waffley towels. The bedrooms were fine, with lots of closet space. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. Pay attention when John tells you that some of the kitchen lights are controlled by a dimmer; we forgot and had to rediscover it! There are a washer and dryer in a laundry room accessible from outside on the lower level, with detergent and laundry baskets. The house is older, with nooks and crannies that keep it interesting. Overall, this was a satisfying stay, and I would do it again.

The hosts were welcoming and the apartment was very well stocked. Our dogs felt right at home

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.
