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.

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.

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.

We had a great visit with another family with small kids here. The space is well laid out and the kitchen had everything we needed. But the real hi light was the big backyard and throwing rocks in the creek!

the Big E dog event
this was our second time staying at this lovely farm house. Eric again was on the ball. We arrived on Thanksgiving day and for the first time used many features of the kitchen to put on a dinner. Everything worked and all utinsils one might need where there. We then went to our event at the Big E ( with our dogs) for three days, gone at 6 am back at 7 pm and the warm house was waiting for us. The drive to the Big E is easy and passes any stores one might need. I for sure would stay here again if showing at the Big E. Amazing quick responses from the host if any questions or needs arose.

The property was clean and comfortable. Eric was incredibly hospitable, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions. We couldn't have asked for a better stay, and we’ll definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

This little old house is charming and comfortable and very quiet. Perfect for a relaxing time away from the city without feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere. It was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. Check in and check out were so easy it felt like staying with family. Highly recommended.

Special Home
What a beautiful home! We found ourselves admiring the hard work and craftsmanship that went into this home and the perfectly placed antiques that decorated it. The photos do not do this home justice. We were greeted every day by a couple hen turkeys that like to use the backyard to walk and feed their chicks. We would definitely like to stay again. My 6 year old son said he enjoyed the home the most of all our summer travels and he didn’t want to leave. I read him this review and he immediately said, “You are so right!”

Quiet and perfect for our needs
We chose to stay here for the inaugural Ironman 70.3 in Springfield. It was great! Beautiful property and home, spotless and an old-timey charm. It’s close to a portion of the bike course so we were able to test out the road conditions. The home owner was quick to respond on three different occasions - two of which he or his wife came to the house to personally deliver something we needed. The house was comfortable, spacious and really neat. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Charming farmhouse in quiet setting
My wife, family members and I stayed for four nights to explore the area and attend my daughter's graduation in Amherst, about 40 minutes away. We ended up spending more time at the house than originally intended, just relaxing, birdwatching, hiking around, etc. The house had everything we needed for our stay, including plenty of cookware and lots of space. The beds were comfortable but be advised: two are double beds and two are twin beds (as listed). I believe one of the couches opens into a bed as well. We didn't need to communicate with the owners much, but when we did the responses were prompt and courteous.
