Private Home~Old World Charm, Modern Conveniences

This beautifully renovated 1800s New England Colonial is listed on the historical registry as New Haven Canal Company Superintendent House. It's a great base from which to explore all the restaurants, cultural, and outdoor activities offered in the beautiful Pioneer Valley. 1.5 miles from the center of Easthampton and 12 minutes from Northampton/Smith College.

You will have plenty of room to spread out in the full kitchen, living room, two main-floor bedrooms, upstairs office, dining room, and large yard.

The space
NOTE: We are a safe and inclusive space for everyone - Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), as well as all genders, are welcome to stay with us. We ask all guests to respect this policy regardless of personal opinions or affiliations.

Beautifully renovated top to bottom. Wide plank floors, high ceilings, and side porches give this home its old world charm. Contemporary kitchen, tiled bathrooms, and high speed internet provide the modern conveniences of today.

The full kitchen and spacious living room are open concept which provides the communal feeling of a comfortable New England retreat. The living room is particularly cozy with a propane fired stove for nights in.

Both first floor bedrooms have a queen size bed and are a few steps away from the large tiled bathroom with a walk in shower and washer/dryer. There is also a formal dining room, an office upstairs with high speed internet, and an enclosed porch. Each room has an airy feeling adorned with large windows and the first floor footprint is big enough to spread out, with plenty of privacy.

A sun-filled (unheated) enclosed porch warms up even in winter. Feel free to wander the large piece of property - stretch your legs and enjoy the greens of spring, birds of summer, or fall foliage.

Please note: In the summer we have a window air conditioners in the bedrooms ONLY. There are ceiling fans throughout the entire house.

Guest access
**Guests have use of the entire first floor and the second floor office. The rest of the upstairs is empty and unfurnished. This is a private home and you will be the only guests.

There is a circular driveway with convenient parking by the side door of the house . You will enter into the kitchen near the living areas. The bedrooms and living room are on opposite sides of the home putting privacy front and center.

Other things to note:
The kitchen has a dishwasher, electric stove and oven, microwave, toaster oven, and is fully stocked with pots and pans and everything else you might need to prepare meals during your stay.

The large screen tv pulls out from the wall and can be positioned to face the couch. There is also a washer/dryer for guest use on the first floor in the large bathroom. Please use the free and clear detergent provided, one pod directly into the drum. One pod per load. We aim to keep this a scent free environment.

The house is 1.5 miles from the center of Easthampton and 10-15 minutes (by car) from Northampton/Smith College. We don't recommend walking to downtown Easthampton, the sidewalks are sparse and the road is curvy.

Your host, Mindy, lives next door. Allison co-hosts from Seattle, NY, and sometimes right next door.

If you have a bigger group and need more beds, we have another apartment for rent next door. Search this site for:

This looked like a lovely property online but was even more gorgeous in person. The house was spotless, warm and inviting. Many areas to sit and enjoy the sound of the birds. The host was great. Obviously enjoying sharing her hospitality and wanting my stay to be memorable. I hope to be able to go back around Christmas.

Well equipped kitchen, space to spread out, close to town with groceries and coffee shops, but in the quiet country. The entire process was easy. We will be back!

A Hidden Gem!
We really loved our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer. The house is stunning! So charming, clean, and comfortable and everything seemed very thoughtfully placed. Mindy has the house setup with everything you could want or need to feel like a home away from home.This is one of my favorite short-term rentals we've ever stayed in and we travel A LOT. We really loved the location as it provided the perfect balance of privacy and scenery, yet close enough to downtown if that's more your thing. We had zero reason to leave the house and really enjoyed the serene setting and the quiet. Thank you Mindy for providing us with such a lovely stay! We will absolutely be back.

Beautifully updated historic home in peaceful setting
We loved staying here! The home was a perfect mix of historic bones and modern comforts. Truly a unique stay to be at Fat frog farm, and yet close to town. We enjoyed being able to walk around the property a bit and see chickens and wildlife. It was easy to find and park, even arriving after dark. Inside the home, we appreciated a very comfortable bed, quiet setting, and a well equipped, well organized kitchen. (There were even helpful notes on things like thermostat). The entire house was spotless, and it’s clear Mindy and Allison have put a lot of time and thoughtful effort into making it both appealing and functional -from artwork to linens. There were only two of us, but this house would be great for a larger group or family, and has privacy to spread out a bit. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, and in fact am planning a repeat trip with friends for the Spring.
