Yankee Magazine Editor's Award Winner - 2008!

Nestled on twenty-four peaceful wooded acres on the Mount Holyoke Range in beautiful Western Massachusetts, Ivory Creek Bed and Breakfast Inn is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered by the weary traveler looking for elegant yet comfortable lodging in a peaceful natural setting.

The wrap-around front porch as well as the many decks and balconies allow guests the opportunity to truly appreciate the beauty of nature up close and unspoiled while enjoying a premier bed and breakfast voted as one of “New England’s Best”. Enjoy the antics of the chipmunks or marvel at the grace of a butterfly as it soars through the flower gardens. Count the wild turkeys that parade across the back yard. Watch as the deer harvest fruit just as it’s ready to pick and experience Western Massachusetts, the Pioneer Valley, the Five College Area and unique Amherst and Northampton like never before!

Proximity to the five colleges in the Northampton - Amherst area (Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Hampshire College, Amherst College and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst) allows guests a wide variety of diverse cultural events from which to choose. There is always something happening! Well known for the many outstanding restaurants within a ten mile radius of the inn, sample menus and recommendations for a great dinner spot are yours for the asking.

Ivory Creek Bed and Breakfast Inn offers comfortable and spacious guest rooms, each uniquely decorated with antique and reproduction furnishings, warm hardwood floors with oriental carpets, private baths with tub and shower and working gas fireplaces. A handicapped accessible bedroom with a fabulous over-sized luxury bath and private deck is available on the first floor. All rooms have air-conditioning, ceiling fans and wireless Internet access as well.

Gourmet breakfasts, served throughout the morning in the spacious dining room with fireplace, on the plant-filled sun porch or out on the back deck weather permitting, may include such items as Mimi's Puffed French Toast, Fresh Herb and Garlic Cheese Eggs, Lemon Souffle Pancakes, Hot Cinnamon Sticky Buns or Tod's Red Pepper Tomato Surprise.

We now have a beautiful, sunny new meeting room. We can also arrange meeting spaces on our surrounding exterior porches for a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere in comfortable weather.
