A quiet corner of historic New England
A ground-floor studio retreat nestled in one of Massachusetts' most storied hill towns — where old-growth forests meet the still waters of Quabbin Reservoir.
Reserve Your Stay →This isn't a cookie-cutter rental. The suite is a fully furnished, self-contained ground-floor apartment in a newly built home in the historic town of New Salem — private, thoughtfully outfitted, and surrounded by nature.
A full kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and gigabit fiber internet mean you can work remotely or unplug entirely. All-electric mini-splits keep you comfortable year-round.
When available, guests are welcome to a dozen of our farm fresh eggs — courtesy of our small flock of cage-free hens on the property.
The Millington Suite is well-suited for visiting faculty, researchers, medical professionals, and academics on assignment. Gigabit fiber, a dedicated workspace, in-unit laundry, and a full kitchen make weeks or months here genuinely comfortable.
Weekly and monthly rates are available. If you're on a research appointment, sabbatical, or fellowship at UMass Amherst or the Five Colleges — or on a professional rotation in the Pioneer Valley — reach out directly.
New Salem sits in the quiet hill country of north-central Massachusetts — one of the least densely populated towns in the state, and one of the most beautiful. You're deep in nature, but never far from civilization — just 8 minutes to Route 2.
A place to slow down and remember what quiet feels like.
The Millington Suite is a private retreat on the ground floor of an owner-occupied home. Guests enjoy complete privacy and a dedicated entrance. The warmth of a lived-in property is part of what makes this place feel different from a hotel — occasional sounds from the household above are possible. A small reminder that real life happens here too.
