Some places become
part of your story.
A rare piece of 1970s architecture, created as a home from the start. The Silo wraps you in warm timber, soaring windows, and a staircase that curves toward your loft beneath the dome. With your own private entrance and no shared indoor spaces, it’s an Amherst stay you’ll remember long after you leave.
What brings you to Amherst?
After the goodbyes, a moment for yourself.
We know from our own experience how much a college drop-off can take out of you. Share one more dinner, settle into a quiet evening, and give yourself a restful night before the drive home. Stay close to your student, with a little time and space for you, too.
Let the day belong to you.
Begin with coffee your way, then follow your curiosity: a bike ride on the Norwottuck Rail Trail, an afternoon in a museum, or a walk through the woods at Quabbin Park. Leave room for a bookstore stop and dinner together before coming home to The Silo. Choose the pace that feels like a getaway to you.
Find your kind of day ↗Come back to the people and places you love.
Catch up with family, reconnect with college friends, or make an evening of that concert you’ve been looking forward to. Then come home to your own private space, unwind, and wake up ready for another day together.

The evening yours.
Stay beside UMass farmland, about a 10-minute walk from the heart of campus and a mile from Amherst Center. Start your day on the peaceful mowed trails; in the growing season, you may see the working farm coming to life.
Later, fill the provided picnic basket with your favorite bites and a drink, settle in for sunset, and stay for the stars when the sky is clear.
