Hardwick Hygge was extremely comfortable and homey and had everything we needed. A nice, big table has been added to the patio! I was extremely thankful that my pup was allowed and it was great walking her around the neighborhood!

My wife, brother and sister-in-law stayed here for several days while attending the Brimfield antique show. It is a spectacular property in a peaceful and bucolic area. The home was spotless and inviting. The sauna was a welcome respite after walking miles through the show each day. Our hosts were attentive prior to our stay and during our time there, although we had no need to contact them as everything went like clockwork from booking, arrival, stay and departure. A wonderful place!

Perfect for us.

The Hardwick Hygge home was exactly what we needed for our stay in the area. We shopped Brimfield in the day and relaxed in the evenings. Quiet area, well equipped, and easy to get to.

Brimfield getaway

This property is awesome. Location was only about 25 minute drive to the flea market, which was our reason for visiting the area. House was spotless, provided alot of necessities in case anything was forgotten. Its location is quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Best Home Away From Home

This amazing property was the best home away from home as we dropped off our son at Amherst College. The home is beautiful, pristine, and very comfortable. The owners have put together a thoughtful manual for checking in/out and great eateries during the stay. We can't wait for our next trip. A 10 out of 10!

Beyond Expectations

The property is lovely inside and out. The house was completely stocked and worked for a group of family members from the age of 3 years old to 70 years old. Also there are a lot of good places to eat in the area, and a lot of near by college towns with museums and other attractions. And the nearby Quibben Resevoir is stunning. And when we had little questions about the house, the hosts were very quick to answer them. Highly recommend.

Hygge House was perfect!

A beautiful house with spectacular views! We really enjoyed going back to the house after our daughter’s college graduation and relaxing. It was so quiet and peaceful. The house has everything. Our elderly dog really loved it. He didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Joel and Leah!
