Big farmhouse in the foothills of the Berkshires

Built in the early 1800s, our renovated farm house can accommodate a large group or gathering. This 1600 square foot home can keep everyone together: three large bedrooms upstairs and an optional fourth downstairs. Large backyard and deck made for outside fun. Two full bathrooms, laundry, large farm table with seating for 10, and a full kitchen. South Quarter House was designed for you to relax and enjoy the woodsy surroundings, with over 20 acres of hiking woods behind the house.

Our farm house, surrounding woods, and barn make a perfect setting for family get togethers and getaways. In winter, we have a pellet stove to make things cozy.

We live just down the road, with adjacent property to South Quarter House's back woods, so we are immediately available via phone or text. We're happy to check you in, make sure you have everything you need for your stay, offer suggestions for activities and food, and otherwise help you have the perfect stay.

South Quarter House is in a quiet neighborhood on a mountain road with no close neighbors except across the street. Westfield is 10 minutes away and offers everything for food, shopping, restaurants, drugstores, etc. Also in Westfield, Stanley Park is a popular spot for playgrounds, exercise, and a beautiful garden with impressive exhibits of roses, tulips, and more, depending on the season. In winter, Blandford Ski Area is nearby, and there are snow-shoeing options all around us.

*Note: all towels and bed linens, toilet paper, and kitchen basics are provided.

Everything was good. Loved the pellet stove although the house was very dry at night. The kitchen was okay but had too many duplicate grilling utensils and not much counter space. Parking was great. Loved walking around the neighborhood. The host was responsive and friendly throughout our communications.

Excellent Getaway

Great old farmhouse, on a quiet street with a very decent yard. Kitchen is well-equipped. Plenty of puzzles, games, and DVDs if you're stuck with a rainy day. Great place to unwind and reset. Would absolutely stay again.Location is convenient to hiking and very close to Westfield (many excellent local breweries in Westfield).

Peaceful, quiet spot

Our stay here was perfect. The house was super clean and had all we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and even had sharp knives, which can be hard to come by in some places. The large dining table was perfect for dinner and games and the stove kept us toasty warm. The owners were just a text away and.very friendly!

Beautiful home in beautiful location

This home was absolutely fantastic and perfect for our family trip to see our daughter graduate from Mt. Holyoke. The home was 35 minutes away from the college and 10 minutes from the town of Westfield …… game on TV. It was absolutely lovely. The communication with the property owner was great. He answered our questions quickly. Check in and check out were a breeze. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful country home

We had the best stay. The house was an amazing old New England farmhouse, and the property was beautiful. Great quiet location but super close to necessities a few minutes away as needed. Awesome hiking trails and swimming just up the road. We would love to come back again.

Wonderful Find

This property is AMAZING! It is in a circa 1820 house with all the associated charm. My friends and I were attending a dog show in West Springfield. This was close enough for a short drive to the venue, but remote enough to provide all the peace and quiet you need. The owners are extremely accommodating with dogs. Those that show dogs truly appreciate this and it made for a fantastic experience. The dogs loved it too! If back again, I will definitely look to book the house again.

Family Weekend

We had a wonderful family weekend away. Location was perfect. Restaurants were great in the area. Stanley Park and Noble View was perfect for our Portuguese Water Dog to get all his energy out. We had a wonderful time sitting for hours on the front porch reading and relaxing. Exactly what we all needed.

This home was so cozy, charming, spacious, and comfortable. The location was perfect. Not far from wonderful hiking trails. We loved the backyard and beautiful stream. The big tub was dreamy! The restoration of this beautiful farmhouse is very impressive. We definitely would love to go back again.

Family Time

The pictures truly do not emphasize what a Fabulous property this is!!! Very cozy, well appointed kitchen with all the utensils you might need. The rooms had plenty of bureau space and not to mention the killer claw foot bath tub upstairs!!! The grounds were spacious and well groomed with plenty of room for all sorts of activities. Eric was very accommodating and the place was spotless from the minute you enter. Awesome place to disconnect from it all and relax and enjoy the family!!! Definitely on our return hit list.
