The 1886 House is an authentic New England country farmhouse situated on 5 acres at the top of a high ridgeline in historic Chesterfield, just off scenic Route 9 & 143, " The General Lafayette Trail".We are only 12 miles from Northampton and located in the foothills of the Berkshire’s in the Pioneer Valley where you can enjoy the quiet of the country or visit many of the area’s attractions. Our B&B is small and intimate; therefore we can provide individualized attention to your needs. We serve a hearty breakfast each morning in the dining room and we will accommodate known dietary requirements. Breakfast is generally served between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30, but for those who want to sleep in, a later breakfast can be arranged. Weather permitting, enjoy coffee or tea on our back porch with its views of fields and woods. We have three guestrooms, two of which have private baths.
