It was love at first site! I can't say enough great things about the Amherst Inn. So charming and…read morethe first painted Lady I've have ever been in. It's family owned and you can tell because they take such pride & care of ownership; because everything is pristine and beautifully maintained. We stayed in the 'Austin' room with one (so comfortable) queen bed and our room looked out on to the main highway; which was surprisingly quiet considering it was graduation week. Went down stairs for breakfast every morning and found out they had gluten-free options- eggs, cereal, omelettes, bread... so impressed! Thank you!!! Location is fabulous! Walking distance to all the shops and to Amherst College. ;)

The wife and I spent one night in a one bedroom, basically an apartment. It was clean and super comfy. A stall shower in the bathroom with great water pressure was so nice. The kitchen had a fridge, stove and a toaster. Also a coffee maker and a nice table to sit at and enjoy breakfast. Fruit, cereal as well as pastries and some Thomas' English Muffins were provided. Great location and a reasonable rate. Will definitely make another trip when returning. We slept really well here.

My daughter and I felt so comfortable in the warm, and spacious carriage house upstairs. And the garden is such a treat!! The family here has won awards for the landscape design, and you can easily see why. Absolutely divine place to rest and restore yourself. Lots of bird sounds, also a few sounds of college students at night, but nothing disruptive. I will definitely be back.

What more can you ask for than a clean, comfortable beds to relax and enjoy the rural landscape. Water is hot with great pressure. Breakfast is top notch as everything is made fresh to order by Marie (the owner) and her friendly staff. They make anything from eggs any style, pancakes and French toast out of their homemade bread. Sausages are made at a local store along with their thick slices of bacon. Sheets and linen are freshly washed and smell divine. Overall, cannot rave about this place enough. I am sad to admit my visits will be coming to an end so I highly endorse others to take our place!

The house is beautiful with an incredible view, huge windows, comfortable clean rooms, and a very homey feel. It was like staying with a family friend.

Josette and Joan were welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived at their door. The kitchen greets you with the sights and smells of home cooking in progress, The open living room has comfortable, cozy seating with a wall of windows where one can view the mountains in the distance and the farm animals in the fields around. While sitting on the deck in the early evening, we observed a beautiful gray fox grabbing a peach from the ground under their peach tree before slinking off into the back pasture. Jo and Joan have a living space on another floor and we pretty much had the main floor living room to ourselves for the 3 1/2 days we stayed. The bedroom was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean with comfy robes provided. Jo is a chef extrordinaire, and seemed to provide whatever we wanted for a custom breakfast at whatever time worked best for us. We were attending the Noho Bike Fest on Saturday and were each leaving at different times. Jo got up early specifically to prepare my boyfriend a hearty breakfast before he headed out on his bike. She prepared another breakfast for me a little bit later as I didn't need to be up as early. Amazing! It was a serene and peaceful long weekend away that I hope to do again soon.

The staff here seemed extra attentive and responsive, most notably re-housing me when the initial assigned room was too close to noisy ventilation areas for my comfort. It appeared that they had a regular routine of walking the premises and staying alert to any challenges. The railroad/long style of the single room was a bit larger than I needed, but okay in general. An included couch was an unexpected bonus and especially enjoyable for my cat who was traveling with me.
