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 sky. You may see bullfrogs, fireflies, woodpeckers, & occasionally the shy black bear we call "Benedict."
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.
Private room with a private 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.)
Kitchenette with microwave, mini fridge and freezer, popcorn popper, wine glasses, ice trays, toaster, coffeemaker, French press, 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.
Just steps from your private entrance, a small bug screen gazebo tent awaits, with two camp chairs and small side tables, for eating outdoors, enjoying a glass of wine, or drinking your morning coffee.
Free parking for one car. The driveway is narrow, so please message me if you need parking for a visitor or second car.
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 peaceful Quabbin "hill town" is the perfect place to get away and savor the solitude.
