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.

Family Time
The pictures truly do not emphasize what a Fabulous property this is!!! Very cozy, well appointed kitchen with all the utensils you might need. The rooms had plenty of bureau space and not to mention the killer claw foot bath tub upstairs!!! The grounds were spacious and well groomed with plenty of room for all sorts of activities. Eric was very accommodating and the place was spotless from the minute you enter. Awesome place to disconnect from it all and relax and enjoy the family!!! Definitely on our return hit list.

Family Weekend
We had a wonderful family weekend away. Location was perfect. Restaurants were great in the area. Stanley Park and Noble View was perfect for our Portuguese Water Dog to get all his energy out. We had a wonderful time sitting for hours on the front porch reading and relaxing. Exactly what we all needed.

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.

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.

Special Home
What a beautiful home! We found ourselves admiring the hard work and craftsmanship that went into this home and the perfectly placed antiques that decorated it. The photos do not do this home justice. We were greeted every day by a couple hen turkeys that like to use the backyard to walk and feed their chicks. We would definitely like to stay again. My 6 year old son said he enjoyed the home the most of all our summer travels and he didn’t want to leave. I read him this review and he immediately said, “You are so right!”
