Bright comfortable guest suite just blocks from lively downtown, yet quiet, private, and easy to park. The suite has one bedroom, one living room, and one newly renovated private bath; firm queen size mattress, crisp clean linens, Apple TV ready for your Netflix login, excellent high-speed wireless, private deck, and coffee bar stocked with coffee, tea, & snacks. You'll park in the rear of the house, and enjoy total privacy with your own entrance, key-code entry door; come and go as you please. The guest suite is a completely private space attached to the rear of our home. It is a 2-room suite; perfectly suited for 2 people, but a 3rd (child or teen) can be accommodated on the sofa (not a pull-out) or an airbed - do let us know if you have a 3rd guest and we can provide extra bedding. We take Covid-19 precautions very seriously. The suite will be sanitized and well ventilated prior to your arrival, and we and our housekeeper have been vaccinated/boosted. Please note we live in the front of the house and we have two dogs who may notice your arrival and bark briefly - please excuse the disturbance. Guests have their own private entrance and exclusive use of the back deck. A long hallway and locked doors separates the guest suite from the owner's residence for your privacy and ours. We may hear each other shuffling about but the two spaces are completely private and secure. You'll park in the circle driveway in the rear of the house and enter through the back deck. We both work and travel often, so there are many days we are not here to greet our guests, but we make sure everything is ready and we are very easy to get in touch with should any questions come up. When we are home, we're always happy to meet our guests, and then give them all the space and privacy they need. We are a text or call away if there are any questions or they need advice on what to see or eat downtown or nearby. We are located near the heart of downtown, just a 2-block walk to all that Greenfield has to offer: live music venues, art galleries, shops and great breweries and restaurants - check out Catalpa Coffee or Shelburne Falls Coffee for a great cup of coffee; and Magpie, Hope and Olive, The People's Pint, Manna House, or Namaste for an excellent meal. Happy to suggest others. The suite is perfect for guests coming into town for nearby musical festivals and events, tasting local beverages (Treehouse is so close!), visiting one of the local colleges (UMass and Smith are a short, easy, beautiful drive away), exploring summer adventures or winter sports at nearby resorts and parks, leaf peeping, or just getting away to explore the "other side" of Massachusetts! Parking and driving is easy in Greenfield, but we live so close that walking into town is the most convenient. We're located 4 blocks away from the Olver Transit Station, which is served by Amtrak and local buses. Access to UMass and Smith College is easy via the FRTA/PVTA bus systems for those without a car. Please note the Tempurpedic mattress is very firm. We have the same one, and we can attest it feels great to wake up in the morning, but it doesn't have that plush cloudlike feel when you first get in. If you do not like a firm mattress, you'll want to find another option. The mini-kitchenette is set up for rewarming leftover takeout or having a quick bite and coffee before heading out. It's not large enough for preparing meals and is not equipped with a sink/dishes. A nice feature of our guest suite is that it is relatively well-suited for older guests who don't do well with stairs. There is private parking for our guests just 20 steps from the door, and only 2 steps up to navigate. This space is not suitable for families with more than one child; it's simply not large enough or secluded enough to accommodate the needs of multiple children. Families with one child are welcome, although please be aware we have no special provisions for children (i.e., no pack & play, toys, or kidproofing). Should you opt to walk downtown, please note the driveway up to the suite is quite steep and can be terribly slippery underfoot. Please exercise extreme caution in damp, rainy, or snowy conditions (not normally a driving concern, however). Quirks we like to share about this old home...our home was built in the 1860s, so it has some creaks and cracks, uneven floors, and a few other signs of its age. That said, we love her, and ask that you treat her with as much care as you would your own home, so she can thrive for another couple centuries!
