I was a little hesitant staying at an Inn and didn't really know what to expect. I was looking to relax in between my classes in Amherst. Both Marie and Kevin made my collegues and I feel like part of a family. We were all comfortable immediately. The rooms were spacious, clean with plenty of hot water, air conditioning, iron... more

My teenage son and I were traveling to see college campuses. U Mass was very close by. We had the Webster room and found it to be comfortable and clean. The decor of memorabilia and antiques were part of the homey appeal that is not found in hotels and the breakfast was personally prepared as ordered. Wireless internet was also... more

I stayed in the Mulberry Room at the Black Walnut Inn when I was in Amherst for a business trip. The room was beautiful and peaceful, with some antiques, plenty of space, and chocolates waiting for me. I admired the purple velvet curtains, and other lovely decor touches. I enjoyed seeing some of the historic photos of the home going... more

Hello, We stayed in the Carholt room in a recent trip to an Amherst Umass Conference, which is very large and decorated with quite a few quaint and interesting antiques. We really enjoyed the ambiance of the room which also included wood beam ceilings, and found it to be an enjoyable retreat from our very busy schedules. Our room was... more

I was shocked... old mattress, mildew odors, extremely poor lighting, bad ventilation, little room anywhere for anything except for a toothbrush, bring your own shampoo & conditioner, no hello or welcome or how was your stay even hinted at, very lackadaisical attitude, floors not well cleaned, mediocre breakfast. However, if you're visiting one of the Colleges and just need a... more

My wife and I were staying for the UMass Amherst commencement, what I suspect is a very busy time for all hotels/inns in the area. The location was ideal, less than a mile from campus. Contrary to what I read in other posts, the property has its own parking lot. The room we stayed in, the Carhardt room, was enormous... more

Following a dismal experience at the Amherst Inn, a local resident suggested I move here - what great advice! You need a car as it's in a suburb of Amherst (we're not talking Southern California, tho', you're only a mile or so from the centre of town). Parts of the building date from the 18th century, but have been very... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Carhart room and LOVED it. The reviews were accurate. The room itself was charming and neat and ginormous. We kept making mental lists of things we loved about the room to incorporate into future homes of ours- great gas stove/fireplace, heated bathroom, king-sized bed, beautiful wood beams across the ceiling. The Black Walnut... more

Our family of four stayed in the Webster room for two nights at the end of August, the room was clean and decorated with old tinkets which added to the cosy feeling. The main house was beautiful and had a collection of photo's showing all the renovation works leading to this very nice guest house. The beds were probably the... more
