We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and found this gem on hotels.com. It was a great spot, perfect location, and loved the vibe of a farmhouse turned into an Inn. Hot breakfast made to order was fantastic. Room was spotless and spacious. Bathroom was immaculate as well.

Property was lovely. Check-in is turn key and you only see staff at breakfast - which was lush both days. Central to all you need in Amherst, but off the main drags so nice and quiet. Fab mattresses! Visit the chickens!

What a wonderful place to stay as we enjoyed our daughter's graduation at Umass. They go and above and beyond to make it special. We stayed in a suite so we had plenty of space. They didn't miss any details. The breakfast was so special and tasty. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful B&B! My husband and I took our two daughters (ages 3 and 1) to Magic Wings and wanted to make it a fun overnight trip. The Black Walnut room #7 was excellent, large and clean with 2 double beds (we brought our own Pack n Play). Smart TV, lots of outlets and a bonus couch with a round coffee table (which is something you don't really think about until you have a toddler..) everything you could want. Breakfast was made to order, and my 3 year old LOVED her chocolate chip pancakes. The owner and the chef went out of their way to make us feel welcome with small kids and I'm really appreciate that, we look forward to our next visit!
