Rooms & Rates

What do you look for in a room? Quiet, Comfort, great view, and simple, quality amenities? Tops of 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 and original art.

See the COVID-19 page for details on how we are addressing the pandemic and whatever stage we are in now at https://starlightllama.com/covid-19/

Rooms include: a single queen-sized bed that can accommodate one or two people. Prefer your own bath? When we built Starlight Llama Solar Bed and Breakfast in 2000, we planned it so all rooms would have their own bathrooms. Our rooms have their own private baths ensuite, and their own entrance. Please see the COVID-19 page for details. We are doing our best to comply with state rules and stay healthy and safe. We now require a 2-night minimum year round, as we have always required on weekends and holidays.

Our solar powered house is 100% off the grid. In the winter you control your own heat, and in summer, we cool our house the old-fashioned way, by opening windows at night to catch the cold air, closing them in the morning, and using fans as needed in between. Our remote location helps us stay much cooler than in Northampton, and we find that as soon as the sun goes down, the house cools quickly.

Fees: are $145 per night and include a vegetarian breakfast that includes fruit, yogurt, juice, or granola, oatmeal, pancakes, John's Apple-Cider French toast, or eggs from our own hens. When the pandemic started, we began to serve a Picnic Breakfast, enabling guests to eat at the time of their choosing, and eating in their rooms or out on the gazebo. People loved it so much, we have made this a permanent feature. See the Breakfast page for details.

Rooms have a single queen-sized bed and fit a maximum of 2 people. Please note that we are a smoke-free facility both indoors, on the grounds, and in the woods. A minimum fee of $450 will be charged if there is an odor of any kind of smoke (cigarettes or pot), or damage to the room.

About Children/Pets: Children over 12 years of age are welcome, but a there is no room for cots, they may need their own room. We are sorry, but for safety and in consideration of our other guests, we no longer welcome accept infants or young children. We cannot accommodate your pets, even if they are in cages or crates.

Farm rules: For safety, DO NOT open any gates, climb over fences, or enter any pastures, barn, backyard, or spaces where the animals are. The animals have gotten out and have gone into the road. Our animals may not want to come out of the barn if it is too hot, too cold, buggy, or if they are eating or resting. If you want to see them and if they do not come when called, ask if you can see them. Dee runs a department at UMass and teaches, but will do her best to help.

Hiking: Guests are welcome to hike on our land (the trails are restricted to guests only, so please do not invite your friends/family to join you). Several of our trails connect to the Mineral Hills Conservation area, a large portion of land which once belonged to John's family. See https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/massachusetts/mineral-hill-summit-trail for details about this special area. We worked to connect our land to this trail in order to create a wildlife corridor to give the deer, coyotes, and other animals a forever place in which to safely travel and live.

Check-In & Cancellation Policy: Weekdays check in is after 4:00 p.m or as arranged. Check-out is 11 a.m. so we can prepare for the next guests. Reservations require a 50% deposit. Cancellations in advance of 2 weeks will be fully credited. Any cancellations within 2 weeks of your reservation will be charged 50% per night which we will credit to you during a future visit (maximum refund is one night per night charged.) If we fill the room we will refund you. Need to cancel in less than one week? Last minute cancellations are particularly hard on a small business, and we often find that we cannot fill the room, so cancellations within one week will be fully charged.

During graduation weekends we follow a slightly softer policy than others in our region, however as spaces fill up early there is a six-month cancellation, during which time we take 50%. If you cancel within three months of graduation, we charge 100%. We try to keep a waiting list and will do our best to give your room to the next person on the list.

We welcome your reservations by email: starlightllama@gmail.com or by phone at 413-Five-Eight-Four-1703. We will ask for a credit card, expiration date, security code, zip code, and so we can plan, we like to know if you have any food allergies or if you are vegan. We also like to set an arrival time so we can be here to greet you. We now require a 2-night minimum year round, as we have always required on weekends and during holidays. Please watch our rates, as they are subject to change without notice. Also, since John's accident, the B&B is now closed for the winter.
