Craig and Kathy Della Penna bought this house in 2001, renovated it for 21st-century sensibilities, and opened a bed & breakfast there. The renovation was encompassing, it was feature featured on HGTV and they won the Historic Preservation Award from the city of Northampton. It was also featured in Yankee Magazine’s 70th Anniversary issue and won “Best in the Valley” too. This is the closest bed & breakfast to Smith College. The house sits 8′ from the Mass Central Rail Trail.
