Birdsong Bed and Breakfast

• a stroller
• pack-and-play crib
• high chair or booster
• nightlights for the rooms
• endless children’s books and toys to play with
• toddler-size playground equipment in the backyard (small sand box, seesaw, jungle gym and inflatable wading pool on hot days)

As part of the nightly rate, we offer a guided nature walk on one of the nearby trails. Our son loves the “bridges trails” that have many little walking bridges. One of our favorite bridges trails leads to a farm that has a llama, a couple goats, a sheep, chickens and a duck pond. Another option is the Rail Trail, a state park that consists of a paved path extending many miles through forests, meadows and wetlands. We enjoy teaching children about the signs of beavers, from the many beaver downed trees, the beaver dam, the beaver lodge where they live and occasionally a glimpse of the actual beavers themselves when they come out at dusk. We also teach children about some of the local birds and wild flowers.

For an additional fee, we will also offer babysitting for your children (either we would be the babysitters since we’re home with our toddler in the evening anyway, or we would arrange for one of the mature neighborhood teenagers who do babysitting in the area to come). If you want to explore on your own, we provide picnic lunches for an additional fee. We’re also happy to give you information about all the kid-friendly restaurants we’ve found in the area.

One of the best parts of visiting Amherst is the number of great attractions for children. For more information, please visit our website.
