The Parlour - private studio in a historic 1740 colonial house | Apartment in Pelham
1 Bedroom Apartment in Pelham
History comes alive at this cozy house built by Cap. Thomas Dick in 1740. Tranquil Pelham is known for Shay's Rebellion & the oldest town hall in the US.
Amherst is only 5 miles away, but Pelham feels like a different world. On a clear night, planets, constellations & satellites pepper the pitch dark sky. You may see bullfrogs, fireflies, woodpeckers, owls, black bears, foxes, and all their woodland neighbors.
Walking distance to the New England Trail, Quabbin Reservoir, historical museum & Buffam Falls.
The Thomas Dick House was built in 1740, the second oldest house in the small colonial town of Pelham, Massachusetts. Early New England colonials had originally two rooms: a "Hall," for cooking and sleeping, and a "Parlour," for entertaining guests - which is where you'll be staying.
This is a small but completely private room with a dedicated entrance and a private, attached (en suite) bathroom with a shower. You might *hear* hints of our being in the other part of the house, but you likely won't see us, unless we happen to run into each other outside. The parlour is in the oldest part of the house; the floor might not be level, but the heating and plumbing are modern!
Microwave, mini fridge/freezer, popcorn popper, wine glasses, coffeemaker, kettle, dishes, napkins and cutlery. Please let me know if you'd like me to leave a little pitcher of whole milk or half-and-half in the fridge for your coffee, or a little butter for popcorn.
A selection of snacks are on hand in case you have had a chance to make it to town yet.
Easy parking for one car. The driveway is narrow, so please message me if you need parking for a visitor or second car.
One well-behaved (i.e quiet, not a chewer, house trained, etc) small/medium dog or cat is welcome. If they have trouble being left alone, please leave them in a crate if you ever go out without them. I can provide a crate if you need one. PLEASE BE SURE TO SELECT THE PET OPTION when making your reservation. There's a small one-time pet fee (not per night, only once per stay). One of my children is allergic to pet dander, so I'll have to do some extra cleaning at checkout. We have 2 (hypoallergenic) dogs and a barn cat ourselves, and most pet families are excellent guests, in my experience. I appreciate your understanding.
The quaint New Salem General Store, 12 minutes up the road, offers essentials, plus lovely made-to-order sandwiches and even a small post office. Amherst and Belchertown, each 10 minutes away in different directions, both have supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations, and most other things you might need.
The quiet, peaceful Thomas Dick House in this Quabbin "hill town" is the perfect place to get away and savor the solitude.
