The owners of this historic home are exceptionally helpful with all of the details for a pleasant visit. The particular highlight is the marvelous and creative breakfasts, in our case especially the frittatas and raspberry turnovers, which we wished we could take home by the dozen.

Thank you so much, Scott. The pleasure was ours! We love to share the things to do in our beautiful Pioneer Valley, especially near Northfield. We're pleased you thought our breakfasts "Marvelous and creative." We do strive to find new and different recipes. So happy you enjoyed your stay!

Cleanliness is #1 here and we're very happy that it showed during your visit. Our wonderful staff really care. Cozy's part of it too. We like to strike a balance between tasteful and un-fussy so thanks for observing that. We noticed the interesting order of your compliments.. Yes, we're outshined by Lucy every day!! She's a real "people person" if you can say that about a canine! All the best,

We had a wonderful stay while visiting our family here in Northfield. Joan and Steve have such a charming home and we were delighted and grateful to wake up to an amazing breakfast.
Lucy the pup was an extra bonus and the only thing I regret is not getting more pets in.
Looking forward to more stays in the future!

Thank you so much, Elizabeth. Lucy is fast eclipsing her "parents" as the star of the show! We're glad you enjoyed breakfast. A prior guest called our version of breakfast "wholesome yet inventive." That sounds about right. Thanks again.

Dear Thomas, We so enjoyed the weekend hosting you and your lovely wife! It was great to share our mutual love of dogs, good food, old houses and the benefits of small town living--in that order :) The two of you are terrific guests and we wish you health and happiness in 2024.

Quick Anniversary Trip
Posted 18 Oct 2023 on HotelsWe were looking for a quick change of scenery to celebrate our anniversary. The location was far enough from home to feel like an adventure yet close enough to not spend valuable time driving. The home was well kept and the hostess pleasant. Previous reviews mentioned that she was well versed in the history of the area and able to provide recommendations for things to do. We did not have a lot of interaction and did not capitalize on this.
Our room was incredibly comfortable and pleasantly decorated. The bed in particular was just to my liking with crisp sheets and moderately firm king mattress. The electric fireplace added to the ambience.
The breakfast provided was three course including coffee, cider and water to fuel us for our day exploring.
I am not generally into revisiting places as I feel there are too many places to explore, but I would consider revisiting Northfield and the Centennial House in the future.

Thank you, Laura, for the detailed comments on your visit to Centennial House in Northfield MA. You hit lots of the high points and we're very grateful. You didn't mention that is was your husband who got the electric fireplace working after the summer hiatus. Thanks so much. Works like a charm now! Come back when the time is right. We'll look forward to that!

We responded earlier today but it doesn't look like we checked all the boxes. Alan and Leslie were wonderful guests whose travel experiences around the world rival PBS's Rick Steves. Their kind remarks are high praise in light of all the B&B's they've stayed in around the world. Great fun, excellent conversationalists, we can't wait for them to return some day.

Thank so much Alison. We enjoyed meeting you and hoped you had fun participating in the Greenfield Triathlon. That's quite an important local event. Keep the Valley in mind for other great outdoor challenge events. Franklin County is becoming a mecca for cyclists, runners and paddlers. Best wishes, Joan and Steve
