Starlight Lllama large room

What do you look for in a room? Quiet, comfort, great view, and simple, quality amenities? Tops on most of our list is a sense that someone cared. We do, and our rooms show it by being clean, uncluttered, and well appointed with simple, lovely features. We have free wi-fi.

Prefer your own bath? When we built Starlight Llama Solar Bed and Breakfast in 2000, we planned it so all three of our rooms would have their own bathrooms. Two of our rooms have their own private baths ensuite and their own entrance. Our third and largest room has its own private bathroom located directly across the hall.

Rooms have a single queen-sized bed that can accommodate one or two people. Children over 12 years of age are welcome, but may need their own room.  Please call to discuss younger children. We have one cot that fits best in the largest room, and charge $20 per extra person.

The Rooms.

The White Room (see photo below). Th White Room has its own bath ensuite. Sitting at the desk, you will look out onto the east pasture where the llamas like to hang out in summer. Beyond that is the north woods. The rear window overlooks our backyard, and you will see the emus and the chickens, as well as our small pasture. The art in this room includes work by artists from Oaxaca, Mexico, Cornwall, England, and Western Massachusetts. This is our most popular room. It is the coolest room in the house in summer as it sits at the back, away from the sun, and it is the best room to hear the emus drum.

The 'Santa Fe red' room (not shown) is a mirror image to the White Room. This room has its own bath in the room (ensuite). Sitting at the spinette (an antique desk that once housed a harpsicord) you will look out onto the east pasture and will see how we nestled the house into the woods. The front window overlooks the gazebo (Dee's favorite place to sit with coffee and laptop), and the small front pasture, created so guests could most easily see or feed the llamas. This room gets the first morning sun. The art in this room includes work by Dee and artists from Western Massachusetts.

The Lavendar or Inside Room, as we call it, is located off the kitchen. It is the largest of the three and was recently painted a lovely 'amethyst' or rich lavendar. (Photo above, before we painted! New images will be up soon!) Its' bathroom is directly across the hall. The room has a single queen sized bed, a lovely Arts & Crafts table, relaxing chair, Shaker-reproduction cabinet built by John, and small tables owned by and possibly made by John's grandfather. This room is our choice for people who are slightly chemical sensitive. The window looks out onto our backyard, and you can see the emus, the north pasture, and the woods that shield us from the road. The art in this room includes Japanese woodblock prints and watercolors painted by Chinese artist Xu De, who lives in Western Massachusetts. Included is a special painting, a gift to commemorate the birth of our son who was born in the Year of the Rooster.

We LOVE breakfast!

Breakfast is served at 9:00 a.m. We will work to accommodate your dietary needs and schedule, so if your wedding party or your flight requires an earlier time, we are happy to work with you.

Breakfast is all vegetarian. We start each home-style breakfast with granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, and fresh coffee or your choice of herbal or English teas.

Our menu varies with the season: in winter and fall we serve baked eggs, baked oatmeal, pumpkin pancakes, Swedish oatmeal pancakes, cider French toast or other warming dishes.

In summer and spring we feature fresh seasonal foods from our organic gardens and eggs from our own free-range hens. Depending upon what is fresh, summer breakfast may include eggs Florentine or eggs with fresh basil and grilled tomatoes, lemon poppy-seed pancakes, zucchini crepes, or other garden-inspired creations.

We can easily accommodate vegan or gluten-free guests. Please let us know your needs and if you have any food allergies when you make your reservation.
