Dani’s Guidebook to the Pioneer Valley
Bookstores
A bit of a trek, but absolutely worth it to enjoy this unique used bookstore in an old mill. There's a great cafe with food, coffee, beer and wine where you can enjoy views of the Mill river and the bookstore itself has tons of cozy nooks to curl up in.

Sightseeing
Right down the street from us, in Downtown Holyoke. Heritage State Park is a lovely place to take a walk along the canals, have a picnic, or check out the "Volley Ball Hall of Fame." For families, there's an historic, restored merry-go-round and playground with a cooling station.

You can drive or hike up to the summit of Mount Holyoke for a panoramic view of the area, including mountain ranges in VT and NH and the historic Summit House is worth a visit as well.

We can never decide if Mt. Tom's or Herrell's is the best ice cream in the Valley. I highly recommend you try both and decide for yourself.
