Stayed with a big family group for a local wedding and we loved this house! Highlight of the weekend. Lots of space to hang out and a central, walkable location.

This house was exactly as advertised! The game room was a blast for adults and youngsters alike. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. We were happy that each room had independent temperature control. The owner gave clear instructions on everything we needed to know and was available to answer questions throughout our stay. The owner also really went above and beyond to address a particular challenge we had. Highly recommended.

This space is impeccably decorated; clean, spacious and yet cozy. Excellent proximity to Umass campus on a beautiful street- safe, and a quaint old home filled with a fun playroom and lots of character. Owners are helpful and accommodating, quick to communicate, and very thoughtful - snacks and coffee left for us to enjoy! Highly recommend and will absolutely book again !

If we could rate our stay higher than 5 stars, we would! Tanya and Jared truly went above and beyond for my wife and I, as we chose their house to stay out with our wedding party for our wedding in a neighboring town. They even generously got us flowers for our wedding! I would never expect that from an AirBNB host. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and in a perfect location to walk into campus or downtown Amherst. The rooms were spacious, the beds large and comfortable, and the pop-a-shot machine and bubble hockey were a huge hit amongst our group! The backyard with the fire pit and ample seating was a perfect place to relax and unwind. I would recommend this stay without hesitation and cannot accurately put into words just how welcomed Tanya and Jared made us feel. - John & Sarah

We enjoyed our stay at Tanya's house while visiting the UMASS Amherst Campus. The location was excellent. So close to the school and minutes to downtown. A very walkable area. The house was extremely clean and stocked with thoughtful extras for added convenience. Everything was exactly as described and pictured in the listing. Tanya's communication was always clear and she was very responsive and proactive in addressing any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area and would not hesitate to stay here again myself. Thank you!!

Really cool spacious house on a quiet street near UMASS. Tanya was a great host. There were lots of plates and silverware and cooking pots and pans in the kitchen, beds were super comfortable. Tanya was very accommodating and brought over some extra tables and chairs that we needed for a family dinner.

Tanya and Jared could not have been more gracious hosts—helpful and quick to respond. The house was spotless and full of thoughtful welcoming touches. Our large family group loved their stay and especially the game room was a unique feature that kept the young ones (and frankly their parents) entertained! The kitchen was impressively well stocked with enough plates silverware and cookware to meet all our needs. And of course the location couldn’t have been better for being walkable to both Umass and downtown Amherst. Overall I’d highly recommend this stay and we would certainly return. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Our stay in Amherst was great. The location couldn't have been better—it’s literally next to the dorms. Easy walk to all things UMass, McGuirk Stadium, the Mullins Center, and downtown. It was perfect for our group with plenty of space. The home itself is cute—clean, spacious, all new furniture, and it’s also filled with thoughtful amenities. We loved the game room (the kids liked the bubble hockey) and we all liked the big-screen TV. The hosts were attentive and made sure we had an enjoyable experience. If you're visiting Amherst or the surrounding area, this centrally located spot is a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommend!

Tanya's home was absolutely wonderful!! It was in a great location, as we could get take out from a number of places and a quick walk to the Mullins Center for the basketball game! From the moment we walked in we were so grateful for this wonderful space. The living room was so welcoming and cozy for unwinding in the evenings with the fireplace as the perfect touch! Our whole family was able to fit comfortably in the dining room for our holiday meal! The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms all very well designed. But our most favorite part of the whole experience was the game room, which was thoughtfully set up for kids and adults, the bubble hockey was a huge hit!! We had the best time and cant wait to come back again!
