Quiet dead end street, in-town location. Walk to UMASS/Amherst College/downtown.

This is a quiet home for quiet guests.

The renovated farmhouse has natural light, gourmet kitchen, solar panels, wifi, porch and garden. Visiting faculty, students, families, post doctoral researchers and other visitors settle in nicely here.

If you are allergic to older homes, this is not the place for you. It is not as clean as a new home or hotel.

If you come in peace, you are welcome here.

The space
The large "Air" room is on the second floor, in the front of the house, with a queen bed, drawers, closet, organic cotton robes and next to a shared bath with a vintage claw foot tub and hand held spray nozzle. There is a lovely shower in the downstairs shared bath and in the summer, an outdoor shower. Heating and cooling is available in the room. There is a second Air bnb room downstairs by the kitchen - "Water." The host has a bedroom upstairs, as well.

Guest access
Travelers may enjoy kitchen, yard, porch, garden, bath, outdoor shower (in summer), wifi and bicycle upon request. Adirondack chairs in the garden can be enjoyed for reading and relaxation. Coffee pour-overs or tea are available. Meals are not included. The home is a healing sanctuary, intended for quiet visitors.

During your stay
My goal is for you to have a comfortable stay but interaction is minimal. I live a quiet life - up around 5:00 am for yoga and asleep at dusk. I enjoy chatting here and there.

I am an author, Kundalini yoga practitioner and instructor and teach from home Sunday mornings. I am a practitioner of shamanic energy medicine, a reiki master and host sessions in my home. Sessions available upon request.

Other things to note
This is a healing home - and visitors are drawn for that reason. I am a quiet early to bed, early to rise person.

I teach kundalini yoga most Sunday mornings -8:30-10:00. You are welcome to join. Class is $14.

In 2019, the state of Massachusetts added a 5.7% tax for those using Air BNB - so please understand that pricing reflects an increase in costs and increasing costs of energy and water. Amherst and surrounding towns have aggregate energy usage and have increased renewable energy. I buy renewable energy credits to round out to 100% renewable so the cost is over .16 per kilowat hour.

Quiet hours are 8 pm to 6 am. Laundry is before 7 pm with a limit of one load per day.
