Photos and Description of the Northampton vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 3 Bath, (Sleeps 9)

Our Western Massachusetts Eco-Friendly Vegetarian Vacation/Getaway Retreat is a 1790 restored farmhouse with an attached artist/writer studio and barn (flower arranging and painting studio). The buildings are surrounded by rambling organic gardens, forest, marvelous sky and landscapes, cross-country, sledding, skiing and snow shoeing on a twenty-acre hillside (ten acres are in wildlife conservation) in the foothills of the Berkshires just six miles west of Northampton, Massachusetts. Amazing sky and mountain views. It is a great joy to the owner that Flower Hill Farm has evolved into a diverse wildlife habitat. Be sure to bring your binoculars and cameras. By car you will be able to reach Snow Farm in 5 minutes, 12 minutes to Double Edge Theatre and 15 minutes to Northampton.

On this site we are featuring our downstairs Queen bedroom apartment (also single bed) with private kitchen and bath. Please contact us or visit our site to see other accommodations available. *We do not use the calendar here. PLEASE CALL FOR AVAILABILITY. A large fireplace and wall of windows and door grace the living room. You can sit inside enjoying the stunning hillside views or sit outside in your private seating area.

The kitchen is very simple (no micro wave or dishwasher.) Flower Hill Farm is a very clean, simple, spacious, rustic place surrounded by the magic of nature. There is a shared Washer and Dryer available upon instruction for small fee. We do not wear shoes inside the apartment.

We do not use pesticides or any chemical fertilizers at Flower Hill Farm.

Outside the walls of the old farmhouse and studio nature abounds with wonders. There are no pets here, but many butterflies, songbirds, fireflies, grouse, wild turkey, woodcock and other creatures of the wild live in our gardens and forest. Guests enjoy breathtaking views -- sunrise, moonrise and stargazing too! Woodland and garden paths along with a country road offer inspiring walks... Don't miss a moonlight walk through the gardens. Hundreds of varieties of plants, shrubs, ornamental and fruit trees add to your outdoor experience throughout the seasons.

Northampton, home to Smith College and the Paradise City Arts Festival, is only 15 minutes away, while Lenox/ Tanglewood, Stockbridge, MOCA, Becket, with Jacobs Pillow and Williamstown/Clarke Museum, are an easy 45 minutes to one-hour drive. DOUBLE EDGE THEATRE is only 12 Minutes drive.

The surrounding hilltowns are filled with great bookstores, excellent restaurants and both famous and unknown writers and artists who have seasonal open studios and sales. Writers' workshops such as Patchwork Farm, yoga, dance and other creative ventures abound in the valley and hilltowns. Snow Farm and the New England Craft Program are five minutes from Flower Hill Farm.

Historic Deerfield, with the Deerfield Inn and Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory; Buckland/Shelburne Falls, with The Bridge Of Flowers and Potholes; Montague, with the Montague Book Mill; Worthington, home to the Sevenars Music Festival; Cummington, with its popular Country Fair, The William Cullen Bryant Homestead, and Greenwood Music Camp; and Windsor, with the Notchview Cross Country Ski Center are all but 15-20-30 minutes away along scenic country roads.

About The Owner

Our life is filled with art and nature... painting, photography (see Flower Hill Farm's Blog), writing and farming/gardening. Our guests often write they leave refreshed and restored from their visit to our humble paradise.

The Owner purchased this house in 1989
Why The Owner chose Northampton

We were attracted to the beauty, magic and charm of the landscape and rustic farmhouse. The area is rich in cultural happenings and abounds in creativity and fun. Living close to nature, while minutes from a five college area is rather ideal.

What makes this house unique

Simple living surrounded by serene beauty and sounds of nature. The sky too is large and breathtaking.

We stayed for two nights at the Flower Hill Farm. Carol was a delight to meet, and the rooms were gorgeous and clean. They had that old-timey New England feel. The view was of Carol's flower garden, which was fantastic, even on the rainy days. The water in the shower was hot with good pressure. The nights were quiet with only maybe two cars driving past the road the house is on. My partner and I drove from here to Niagara Falls for a two night stay, and we both agreed that the highlight of the entire vacation was watching dozens of fireflies in the flower garden at Flower Hill Farm.
