Although there is much to do right in the village, a car is necessary to truly experience all of what Western Massachusetts has to offer... Check out my guide book for recommendations! Part of the charm of Shelburne Falls is the freight train that runs through town 4-5 times per day. The tracks sit right beside the cottage. We find it romantic and never notice it during the night. (Earplugs and sound machine provided for light sleepers). Unlike many hill towns surrounding us, Shelburne Falls has excellent internet and cell phone service. *Allergy sufferers please note Dogs and cats live in this home I aim to anticipate the challenges of traveling with kids and pets and to create a space for you and your loved ones to relax whilst making beautiful memories together... like visiting grandmas magical cottage.
