Lee has stocked this two-bedroom with everything you could ever imagine you might need. There were even treats in the refrigerator! The beds are very comfortable, and the AC was so welcome on these very humid nights. The location is very convenient to the center of Amherst, the college, and a beautiful swimming pond is minutes away. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

2 night stay
Property is just as described!! Extremely clean, comfortable beds and furniture. Plenty of space to spread out. AC and ceiling fans were great in the 80 degree heat. About 10 minutes from the fields at UMASS. Eggs, bread, milk, butter and fruit were so appreciated!! Also tea and coffee and oatmeal was a nice surprise!! Hopefully can grab this again next year!!

We were in Amherst to watch college baseball. The place was very close to the college, super comfortable and well stocked. Communication with the owner was great and we greatly appreciated the complimentary snacks, including eggs and oatmeal for breakfast. We hope to come back next year. Thank you!

Exactly what we needed
Easy check in, very clean and well stocked with everything needed. I was visiting my daughter at UMass who had to have knee surgery. There was lots of space for her to get around. It was also close to the University which was important for us as well.

Great stay with lots of room!
This stay was wonderful. It's located about 4 miles from UMass, in a nice quiet area. We were greeted with farm fresh eggs, bakery cinnamon bread slices, local apples, homemade butter and organic milk in the fridge. The pictures are accurate and the place reminded me of an old farmhouse. There's a chicken coop right on the property. The beds were super comfortable and the hosts thought of everything. There were oatmeal packets, small candy bars, microwave popcorn, etc to snack on. There were nice, fluffy towels in the bathroom. The place is very spacious. You could comfortably fit a family of 4-5. We didn't even use the twin bedroom. They have lots of extras for families, like a pack n play, kid silverware, etc. We were there for a football game and it was an easy drive to campus. Don't miss Cushman market and cafe for breakfast. DELICIOUS and almost across the street. We would definitely stay here again!
Kimball Upstairs was very spacious and immaculate. Parking was easy and the area very quiet.

Very comfortable, felt like a home. Very clean, beautiful linens and towels, kitchen setup, TV with cable, AC, overhead fans.
2 bedrooms were a must for us, rather than 2 hotel rooms.

Great Stay
Really enjoyed our stay at this large, well equipped main floor property. Friendly and helpful host. Perfect place to spend time in the Amherst area. Appreciated the baking and snacks that were waiting for us.
Spacious, clean, cool (we visited at the tail end of a heatwave), quiet; comfortable beds. The pictures don't do it justice.
Loved the snacks in the fridge especially the homemade sweet bread.
You can have breakfast and snacks in the kitchen (coffee, tea, milk, oatmeal, bread, fruit, eggs are provided), but we went down the street to a nice cafe.
Also nearby is beautiful Puffers Pond for relaxing and swimming.
