A Recent Comment from UMass Parents
“We stayed in a beautiful room in the carriage house…. It was a beautiful nite and we slept with the windows open (which you can’t do at hotels!). We awoke to a lovely breakfast and the coffee was right there outside our door! I highly recommend this to new parents of UMass college students – only 15 minutes away from the Amherst craziness this time of year!”
