Riverfront cottage-South Hadley, MA: 2 bdrm, furnished EVERYTHING included

Description

Charming riverfront cottage available for rental by the month or academic year (September through May). We use the cottage ourselves during the summer months so there is no availability during June-July and August. This charming cottage is located on a cove on the Connecticut River. It is a bird watcher/nature lover's paradise! You'll see herons, eagles and a family of swans that make this cove their home. Go fishing or launch a kayak right from the back yard. The house has been completely renovated and features an open floor plan. The first floor has views of the cove on three sides with incredible natural light. As you enter there is a comfortable living-room area with two couches and a cast iron stove (which runs on propane), a large dining area with table and 6 chairs and an amazing, fully applicanced kitchen featuring a slide-in range and quartz countertops. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and dining including pots and pans, cooking utensils, plates, bowls, glassware, mugs, flatware and a coffee maker. There are two small but very cozy/comfortable bedrooms: one has a queen; and the other had two single beds. The bathroom features beautiful tile, a large tub and two sinks, as well as a washer and dryer. Take the circular stairs to the loft where you'll find a desk for work/study, a puzzle and board games area, a cozy reading/meditation nook, and a TV area with futon couch. Heating and cooling is by a heat pump with two zones (first floor and loft). Parking is private, off-street and paved. During really cold weather the propane cast iron stove in the living room and/or the electric wall heaters in each bedroom can supply additional warmth. The street is quiet and has no outlet so traffic is low. All utilities and services including high speed internet, heat, hot water, electricity, gas, trash and recycling, lawn care and snow shoveling are included. The cottage has a keyless entry, google Nest doorbell camera, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a fire extinguisher, an iron and ironing board, and sheets, blankets and pillows are also supplied. The cottage is perfect for a visiting professor or sabbatical retreat. Dogs are negotiable but cats are not allowed.
