About this property
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.

Westfield State University: 7 minutes
Northampton and Five Colleges: 45 minutes

About the host
Hosted by Eric & Alicia Hansen
We have traveled extensively both in the US and abroad, and we always wanted to host other travelers, especially now that we live in such a gorgeous place as Western Massachusetts. We have family both in Massachusetts and in New Orleans, so we enjoy good food, entertainment, and family time. We want others to take advantage of the property we crafted specifically as a place to relax and spend time with family and friends.
