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.

Relaxing week in the Big farmhouse
My wife and I and our daughter and dog spent the week. Everything we needed was provided. Nice quiet and relaxing time. Great location down the street from the AMC Noble View trails. We all had a wonderful hike and a wonderful week.

Great!
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.

Another great stay
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!

I just love how the house is kept authentic to the 1800s yet updated with modern appliances and bedding. So nice to have a cozy pellet stove to warm the house and beautiful property. Quiet and peaceful
