    We have only been to a few B&B's in our days. The Ivory Creek B&B was beautifully kept with wonderful grounds and spacious rooms with several choices in size and price. We decided on an anniversary getaway weekend and wanted to bring our dog since she is getting old. We also wanted to be in proximity to Northampton. The Ivory Creek not only met all of our needs but exceeded them. Breakfasts are phenomenal and better than any breakfast I have ever had in my limited B&B experience; but I know a good breakfast when I am served one!! You won't be disappointed.


    Best choice in the Amherst / Northhampton area.

    We stayed in the Bronze room over Memorial Day weekend. Todd & Judy were very gracious hosts. The property was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious - the french toast was to die for. We had a very restful time. This is where I'll be staying when I return to western Mass.

    Peaceful setting, very comfortable bed (and we're picky because we have a Tempurpedic) and soft sheets, gracious access to a variety of teas and that delicious Flavia coffee, snuggly robes and a spotless room and bathroom, and a scrumptious baked french toast with fresh fruit and whipped cream prepared by a very gracious Tod Talk to Judy and Tod for their recommendations for a nice dinner/entertainment...you can bank on their word! This establishment is definitely going on our map of places to revisit!

    The architecture, interior design and furniture were all terrific. Amenitites such as robes, bath products, gas fireplaces in rooms were awesome. Loved the Inn, loved the "Lavender Room" where we stayed. Food was good. Tod and Judy were very welcoming hosts and even tok care of sparkling cider and roses for our arrival, at my request.

    We spent three days at Ivory Creek. This is a really lovely B & B, and the owners are very helpful and approachable. We really liked the self-serve tea and cold beverages set up, which is available throughout the day. The only downside was that we loved our room so much that we didn't get out much! However, when we did, we were really happy with the dining and shopping options in Northampton. This B & B and town make for a wonderful destination.
