Wonderful Stay for Hamilton College Parents
My wife and I stayed here for the weekend of Hamilton College's 2024 Commencement and were very impressed. Clean, modern, comfortable and perfectly situated, with access to a smart TV and WIFI (despite the rural location). Food and beverage offerings were highly appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Our third stay at the property while visiting our Hamilton College student. The first evening was warm and beautiful and were sitting on the front steps when a man appeared w a table and chairs and set them up for us. We ate dinner outside and it was a lovely night! We love our visits here - it has everything we need and is so comfortable. Thank you for having us again!

Everything I needed and then some
It’s hard to convince anyone that a rental is SPECTACULAR when you only stayed 1 night but I’m still going to try… I travel often and when I can, I avoid staying in hotels and try to find something more local and “home-y.” Additionally, I’ve stayed in so many rentals at this point that it’s all a blur. Most of them have a common style but this particular place will always hold a place in my heart. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always pleased with rentals that have a modern/minimalistic feel that seem to come straight from a magazine. They look clean, sterile even, and uninhabited (somewhat a good and a bad thing). But not the school house. Allow me to explain. I was traveling alone, as I often do, and I was scheduled to do a quick turnaround so my expectations for any enjoyment of the space was low. As I walked in I immediately noticed all of the thoughtful touches (and I won’t go into details because you should see it for yourself) and with every step further into the space, I felt more and more relaxed. The rental is small yet well appointed that you don’t want for more space. It’s cozy and inviting. Every corner begs for you to snuggle in, every piece of art or written quote resonates with you, and the water pressure in the shower is enough to pound away the day’s tension but soft enough to leave you lost in your thoughts. No matter what type of traveler you are or what preferences you have when staying in rentals, this is a space you can’t help but appreciate even if it’s not your cup of tea. But for what it’s worth, it was exactly the cup I needed and then some.
