Relax at this unique and tranquil getaway in Northampton, home of Smith College (6 bks away). Small, quirky city w/ boutique shops & fab restaurants downtown (10 blks away). Bike trails (w/ entrance one blk away) go all around the area. Located within a few blocks from hospital (Cooley Dickinson) & park (Child's). Perfect for short or longer stays. The space Quiet, residential neighborhood close to park, hospital, rail-trail, Smith College, and Downtown Northampton.

This house has 4-legged creatures but not allowed in the Guest Room; they are kept contained downstairs in the rear of the house except for sleeping in my bedroom with me at night. Sanitation is guaranteed at my home - all bath and bed linens, including bedspread, washed in very hot water prior to your arrival. Bathroom is sanitized prior to your visit, including handles (silly isn't it, but some cleaners forget that we touch the handles more than anything else!!). Guest access Front porch with rocker, love seat bench, and chair. Large table and chairs with umbrella in the front yard . The Guest Room bedroom has its own deadbolt. Guests have sole use of the Private Full Guest Bathroom (tub and shower). During your stay I work at home so am often around for guests' questions. Guests can always text me for issues when I am not at home. Other things to note We remove shoes and boots upon entry to home. House slippers are fine. I also provide disposable shoe covers that can be used as house slippers. No smoking please or pets. Quiet at night, please.
