Peg - During Labor Day weekend, I along with 7 of my girlfriends and Siren, our dog, decided to take a drive up to your log cabin, where we stayed for three days. It was absolutely amazing! We hiked, picked berries and apples, conversed for hours on end, grilled on the patio, drove to nearby NoHo, and, generally, just enjoyed the tranquility of the space. Thank you for opening up your cabin to us. It was an absolutely amazing time! So much so, that we've decided to make it an annual retreat.
Until next year,

Hi Peg,
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write in the guest book. We love the cabin, my daughter had a wonderful time and our friends really enjoyed themselves. Thanks Vanna. |

| We had a fantastic time, and only wished we could have stayed longer. A beautiful, cozy cabin and wonderful property. Close to many small towns with a lot to do. We highly recommend it! |

| Apple Valley Log Cabin exceeded our expections! The cabin was spacious and clean, and the layout offers the opportunity for some private time. The cabin is set off the road, and is secluded, yet we were able to get into town after a short drive. The property is beautiful, with flowers and fruit trees adorning the yard. A welcome respite from city life. And our dog loved it as well! |

Hi Peg!
It is absolutely embarrassing how long it as taken me to write and say THANK YOU!!! We stayed at Apple Valley the weekend of 4th of July and had THE MOST fabulous time!
It was absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful to wake up every morning to the sound of birds and to let our pup Riley out to run without worrying about traffic, cars or his leash! But the BEST thing was the ability to NOT have to EVER look at a clock, because it didn't even matter what time it was because we had nothing planned and no where to be!!! What a tremendous way to spend a weekend! So, thank you so very much for sharing this incredible property with us. It was unbelievable being in a real log cabin that had all the amenities and warmth of our own home - the property is obviously loved and well taken care of and I feel nothing but lucky to have stumbled upon it online.
I can honestly say that before we even left we were thinking about our schedules and when we'd be able to return again! I know I would certainly love to see it in each of the seasons - and bringing friends would be great!
Hope things are great! Thanks again for sharing this incredible space with us - we can't wait to go back! And I did get the security deposit back, so thank you for being so prompt with it!
Sincerely,
J.B., M.F. and Riley dog

Just got my deposit return...thank you.
Once again we had a wonderful time Ashfield. I tried to enter a more informative comment regarding the cabin and the area, but the website wouldn't allow it. They said only one comment per person and we already had one logged. They should change that. I think it would be helpful for people to know you have return visitors and we had even a more wonderful time than the first visit...thinking we need to buy property there!

| My wife, dog, and I had a terrific time at the Apple Valley Cabin. We even had a snowstorm to top things off! Great outdoors activities very close, from right on the property to right down the street. And there are some great restaurants in the area if you don't mind a drive through beautiful country. |

| The greatest cabin! We couldnt have asked for anything better. A perfect getaway for those that like to really have privacy and a beautiful home away from home. Had everything we needed plus a wonderful location, privacy, and lovely surroundings. Thanks! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your cabin this past October. The scenery and the cabin itself were both wonderful and we both took advantage of the opportunity to get some much-needed relaxation in such beautiful surroundings. Neither of us had anything negative to say about any aspect of our stay. We would recommend it to anyone and will certainly be back again. |

What a wonderful long weekend we had at your Apple Valley Log Cabin! The location was perfect as was the weather. Our dogs throughly enjoyed their mini vacation. We hiked every day. We saw bear, deer, moose and coyote tracks not far from the cabin.
The cabin was delightful; very,very cozy. We enjoyed having a fire in the woodstove in the evenings to ward off the chill.
Thank you for sharing your lovely oasis with us and for allowing our 3 dogs to accompany us. They all say thank you very much too!!
Hope to visit again,
regards

Peg,
We want to thank you for a fantastic 5-day getaway to your cabin. We had a wonderful time, full of relaxation and rebonding without the daily hassles of traffic, sirens, due dates, and all the other causes of daily stress. After the initial arrival confusion, we settled in and the rest of our stay was completely stress free. We took full advantage of the excellent cabin and its' surroundings, the Jacuzzi tub, the beauty of the countryside, and the rare chance to experience life without so many responsibilities. It was a pleasure to tour the surrounding towns and find so many helpful and friendly people. We only wish we had booked it for twice as long. We will certainly return again. Thank you again for a wonderful time at your well-appointed cabin. I hope we can talk again very soon. - Don & Judi |

My son and I picked up his twin brother (from San Francisco) at the Hartford airport and drove on mostly in the dark to Apple Valley Log Cabin. Man, I mean dark! It was cold! We were so delighted upon arrival to find a very welcoming fire already going in the wood stove. Thanks to Mike who lives down the road. We already know this was to be a great pre Christmas interlude. And so it was! Snowshoeing and hiking, a visit to the Butterfly Observator and the famous candy store and reading by the fire. We could only imagine all the opportunities and adventures that summer brings.

| We were so lucky to have snow on Thanksgiving which made our long weekend at the cabin very magical. It was delightfully warm and comfortable and we made good use of the games. I look forward to returning another time in spring or summer to experience the landscape in a different season. Thanks for your friendly assistance with our booking Peg, and also thanks to Mike & Jennifer, who were there to help us at the cabin with some local knowledge when we asked for help. |

The Apple Valley Log Cabin was beyond our
expectations! It is convienently located between
Shelbourne Falls and Northampton, so we were
surrounded by both beauty and entertainment. It was
the perfect get away from our stress and we all got a
chance to relax. Thanks Apple Valley! We look forward
to a return. |

The Apple Valley Log Cabin was such a relaxing treat. It was close to action in Northhamptom and Tanglewood, but also so quiet and remote, with fantastic skies and gardens and trails for hiking. The lakes at the D.A.R. state forest were lovely, and the nights were cool and peaceful in the fabulous cabin.
Our family had one of the best vacations ever! |

Peg,
Thank you for making the last minute rental of your cabin happen. It is truly a beautiful property. I can’t wait to see it in the summer. I had my parents up for dinner on St. Patrick’s Day and they feel the same way. I hope that I left everything in order. I look forward the next visit.
Take care,

This is 20 miles from Northampton, but in a private and wooded area. We were delighted with the garden off the back deck and enjoyed our coffee each morning on the deck. The wood stove was too complicated for us, but we were quite content with the baseboard heat. One of our questions had been if it would be too warm, but even in August it was not!
There were two spacious bedrooms, a jet-powered tub, and plenty of room to snuggle and watch TV. The kitchen set-up is adequate. What you'll love best are the surroundings. Hummingbirds visited daily, the flowers were in bloom, and who could resist a climb to the top of a high rock face for a picnic lunch? Paths are mown into the tall grasses to guide you on walks, and oh-so-charming instructions include "turn left at the wind chimes." There is an apple orchard, although we never made it that far in our exploration of the property.
The beds are comfortable. The TV is great for evening watching. During the day you won't want to be inside. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the back deck is, and the enclosed front porch is a great place to curl up with an evening snack when the bugs get more demanding.
It was very relaxing. We made a stop in Northampton on our way back for lunch and enjoyed a stroll on Main Street. As an added bonus, we saw a black bear cub cross the road on our drive back to town! I'll be back!

| We had a wonderful time at Apple Valley Log Cabin. The kids spent hours on thier mountain bikes exploring the hiking trails while we relaxed and enjoyed the views from the deck. The jacuzzi bathtub is awesome too! Saturday started with a real maple syrup breakfast at South Face farm and then we explored the artisan shops in Shelburne Falls. Later in the afternoon, the kids had loads of fun making thier own candles down at the Yankee Candle Factory. This is one vacation I would not have missed for the world and highly recommend it to anyone! |

Dear Peg,
Thank you for the security deposit refund. Johanna and I wanted to write to you to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at the Apple Valley cabin. The description given on your website sounded too good to be true, and yet
we found that the reality was that the cabin was even better than the description! We enjoyed miles of hiking trails straight from the cabin door with gorgeous views from the top of the apple orchard, home-cooked meals in a wonderful kitchen, sunset and stargazing from the ledge, relaxation in the incredible jacuzzi tub, and cozy reading by the wood-burning stove. The cabin was so well-appointed that we didn't need to leave (nor did we want to); once we arrived, we didn't get back in our car until our departure! And our dogs probably had an even better time than we did! Thank you for letting us (and our dogs!!) stay; we've rented many cabins, and yours is definitely the best.
While we were there, we kept saying how we wanted to come back in every season, so we wondered how far in advance we could book the cabin, since we know we want to go back in the spring, summer, fall...Please let us know. Again, thanks so much and we look forward to another stay, hopefully very soon!
All our best -- (Confidental)
