Description from the owner
Discover Cavalier Cottage B&B;, a pet-friendly home away from your home and an attractive alternative to conventional hotels, motels and B&B;’s. We warmly welcome visitors who come to this beautiful and diverse area of Western Massachusetts with or without their companion animals.
Since opening the cottage in January of 2012, I’ve welcomed more guests than I could possibly have predicted or hoped. It seems that Cavalier Cottage has answered a need for truly pet-friendly accommodations. I could tell you stories about the wonderful four-leggeds who’ve enjoyed country walks here, not to mention their terrific two-legged companions....Read more

Left on 05/16/2013 for a stay in May 2013
This was our first trip with our Golden puppies, Ben and Tucker. They went on their first long car ride (2 hours) and slept somewhere other than their crates at home. It was a wonderful thing to have a place where the two five month olds could run around freely. Thank you for creating it, Patricia! They adapted to the new space and were happy and funny and at ease. So...we were, too. The view from the apartment - green and leafy - and the sound of birds in the morning was a welcome sight. The best news? "Da Boyz" slept in until 7 a.m.!

We took a Friday off to make a nice long weekend, staying over Friday and Saturday nights. We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is beautiful and in a convenient location... we loved the area!! We definitely plan on returning. The best part of course was being able to take my dog Rollie along with us!

Thanks for another restful, rejuvenating stay at this lovely country cottage. Hats off to owner Pat for making us feel so welcome (including our lively shepherd-chow companion Otis) and for being so attentive while respecting our privacy. The tidy accommodations, beautiful surroundings, wondrous country road walks, and delicious homemade scones made for the perfect getaway.

WorcesterPerfect place to stay with a pet!
Left on 04/15/2013 for a stay in April 2013
Much more spacious than a hotel room, the cottage is neat and tidy with a full kitchen and big, bright windows in the living/sleeping space. The blue and yellow color-combo of the decor is cheerful and relaxing. Pat is a great hostess, welcoming us on arrival and giving us a quick rundown of the cottage, and bringing tasty scones for breakfast in the morning.
Close to the quaint town of Shelburne Falls, Bershire East Ski area, and Zoar Outdoor adventures, there's plenty to do in the area year round. During our stay, we had very nice, affordable meals at some local restaurants and we went bowling at a great little Candlepin place in Shelburne Falls. We also took a long hike to view some waterfalls in the Savory State Forest, and drove to nearby North adams to view the Natural Bridge State Park. The Mohawk Trail (route 2) is not for the faint of heart--it is a crazy, twisty, hilly mountain road--but the views are great. Cavalier Cottage was a wonderful launch pad for all these adventures.
My husband and I have had a hard time getting away since we rescued our dog, Amelia. Like many rescue dogs, she has some emotional problems, so we prefer not to kennel her and we can't even leave her with friends. When traveling with her, we've found typical pet-friendly hotels to be challenging, as there are often many guests with dogs, and she is very afraid of other dogs. As such, Cavalier Cottage we a perfect spot for us! We will definitely visit again.Response from patricia butterfield - 04/15/2013

Mamaroneck NYA wonderful pet friendly getaway!
Left on 03/31/2013 for a stay in March 2013
Wonderful to stay at a pet friendly (and not merely pet tolerant) place! There was even a jar of dog cookies on the counter, waiting for our pets!
Cavalier Cottage is a cozy little cabin nestled in a tranquil forest and well removed from the noisy highway. It was very refreshing to have a kitchen available so that we avoided the expense of having to eat out for every meal! It's also close enough to Shelburne Falls and Greenfield, both of which have good dining options. There were many hiking/snowshoeing opportunities within a very short drive and even the walk just around Oxbow Road was very pretty. Pat was very friendly and welcoming and it was a very relaxing trip!

Left on 03/12/2013 for a stay in March 2013
"We are so grateful to have found Cavalier Cottage. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. The cottage is adorable, comfortable and extra clean. Pat was a wonderful host, ensuring that our 2 dogs were comfortable and happy. Everything you would need for a 2 or 3 day retreat is at your fingertips. With a prime location, you have local eateries, markets,galleries and natural resources in every direction. Cavalier Cottage met all of our criteria for what we were looking for. We are excited to plan another trip for a September stay! We noticed and appreciated how clean the cottage is - you would never know that pets were here. There is no "chemical" smell that covered anything up; important to know for people who are sensitive to chemicals or have allergy issues! Thank you to Pat for being so flexible and understanding with our "arrival" day due to the snowstorm we got the day of our trip! Thank you Pat, we are so happy!"

Some friends and I spent one night at Cavalier Cottage to celebrate a couple of birthdays.

Cozy, comfortable, impeccably clean.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights with our puppy, and we had a wonderful time! The accommodations were great, and our dog loved going for walks in the beautiful surrounding area. It's always nice to find a pet-friendly place to stay at when we travel, and this is one of the best we've ever found. It's spacious, with a nice and well-stocked kitchen.
Pat was super friendly and helpful, and her fresh hot scones are an amazing way to start the day! We are definitely looking forward to our next stay!

NewtonGreat time at the Cavalier Cottage
Left on 01/22/2013 for a stay in January 2013
I wasn't expecting much when we booked our weekend getaway on a Saturday morning the day before we would actually go, but as soon as we took the turn off the main route towards the Cavalier Cottage I knew I would be pleasantly surprised.
The place was well marked and easy to find. We were greeted by Pat the homeowner who was just lovely. She introduced herself to us and my dog Honey and made us feel right at home. She assured us of Honey's comfort while we went skiing for the day and even offered to walk her. I could tell she was a compassionate dog lover right off the bat and felt comfortable leaving Honey with her for the day. The premises was quite tidy and cozy, truly the perfect mountain getaway for it's proximity to home in Mass.
As for the mountain, it was surprisingly fun too. There were lots of cool nooks and crannies to discover and the locals were nice too. For anyone looking to spice up their evening, conveniently located at the foot of the mountain was a package store.
When we returned from the mountain Honey had been walked and was resting comfortably on the bed. We enjoyed the free wi fi and netflix access Pat extended to us, and cooked a nice dinner in the kitchenette. The shower was pretty good too!
I would definitely recommend this place to any dog lover and all of my friends and family. Thanks Pat! -

NorthamptonCozy and tranquil
Left on 01/03/2013 for a stay in December 2012
I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay here! The studio is lovely: simply but elegantly furnished, and very cozy. I came for a solo personal retreat, and it was perfect for this purpose I had complete privacy, but didn't feel lonely or scared since Patricia is right next door. During the day, there was plenty of space and I didn't feel cramped at all: I went back and forth between the bed, sofa, and kitchen table for reading, journaling, and reflecting. There was a soft throw-blanket for cuddling up under while reading on the couch, and a great reading lamp. I also took a few walks up and down the road, which is very scenic (it was snowing and mid-winter, so I didn't explore any further). Wi-Fi worked fine and so did my cell phone, and although I tried not to use them, it made me feel safer since I'm a city person and sometimes feel scared so far out in the country. Patricia was a very friendly and helpful host. Breakfast was good. Overall this was very peaceful, and I hope to go back with my family in the summer.

Left on 12/26/2012 for a stay in December 2012
Cavalier Cottage was great. We love the area and wanted to spend a couple of nights away, but bring out pets. It truly was a home away from home. Our Old English Sheep dog and kitty both loved it there. It was very comfortable and homey. I loved having a full kitchen to cook and prepare meals in. It's on a remote, country setting that makes you feel like your "getting away from it all". However, the Wireless internet worked great, and the cable TV was nice to have to entertain the young ones.
We look forward to our next trip back to Cavalier Cottage : )

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Cavalier Cottage in early November. It was a joy to bring our dog Rufus. The cottage is fresh, inviting, and very comfortable. Our innkeeper, Pat, welcomed us with local apples in season, lovely fresh flowers, and just the right amount of information to make us feel immediately welcomed and comfortable. The kitchen at the cottage was an added bonus; it was easy to prepare supper or enjoy a meal out at several local eateries. Shelburne Falls is a friendly community that is easy to explore on foot, with or without your dog. Local walks are abundant and Pat had several great suggestions. The roads around the cottage were perfect for enjoying rural vistas on foot. It was an excellent 4-day respite and we look forward to an enjoyable return very soon.

What can we say? It was a perfect, quiet, serene and lovely three-night getaway to a relaxing cottage in the woods. We brought our cat, some comfortable walking shoes (for us, not our cat!) and settled in at Cavalier Cottage as our "home base" for wonderful excursions to farms, general stores, maple houses, and beautiful drives through the country side. The area is friendly, artistic and creatively driven and a mecca for foodies like us! What made it best? Our wonderful host Patricia, who could not be nicer. We'll be back for sure!

I loved the feel of this place from the moment I arrived. The beautiful pastoral surroundings, the charming cottage, the cheery welcome of the owner, Pat, and the tail-wagging greetings of her adorable spaniels from her picture window...but when she opened the door to the spacious studio apartment I completely fell in love with the place! Move over Martha Stewart, I thought, the place is just that pretty! Fresh, welcoming and tastefully decorated in crisp clean blues, it is a delight to stay here. As I write this, my Lhasa apso is snoozing comfortably in this lovely, cozy place and feels right at home. Thank you Pat for making us feel welcome and for creating this haven for pets and their people, you really provide all the comforts and amenities for a most pleasant stay.

Left on 09/27/2012 for a stay in September 2012
We selected Cavalier Cottage because it was pet friendly and we were traveling with our dog. The pet-friendly nature of Cavalier Cottage was a bonus on top of what was an outstanding rental experience. The facility was exceptionally clean, well kept and equipped. The location on a quiet treed road was perfect for us. Patricia, our host, had that rare talent of being friendly, informative and helpful while still respecting our privacy. We were greeted with fresh flowers and a kitchen that was better supplied than we could have imagined. The selection of classical and jazz CDs was a pleasant surprise. The fresh baking delivered to our door each morning was a rare treat. I believe the dog had a good time too!!

Hi Jenny,
Many thanks for your review.
A couple of comments FYI...the wi-fi signal is now very strong and consistent as the router has been moved much closer to the cottage.
There is a washing machine in the main house and as you may recall I offer laundry services for a nominal fee as I did for you doing 2 loads.
Do hope you will visit again.

We just enjoyed a 4 day visit to Cavalier Cottage. The cottage is so comfortable, and it was a home away from home. Very clean and beautifully decorated, we loved the artwork. Breakfast was outstanding with Patricia's home-made scones and plenty of cereal and fruit. Our dog Princess was so relaxed and happy, even when we went out without her. Patricia was kind enough to look in on her to make sure she was doing OK. It's a quiet environment, but close to lots of awesome activities. We hiked, biked and spent an enjoyable afternoon in Shelburne Falls which is a town full of galleries, restaurants and the impressive Bridge of Flowers. Cavalier Cottage is definitely worth a visit, whether or not you have an animal companion...but your pets will love spending a vacation with you"

For the 1st time ever, a sixth star is necessary for those of us with animals in the family. We had a wonderful experience at Cavalier Cottage. I could rave about the accommodations and Pat, but I will talk about Cally Berry's time there. Animals like vacations too. We could see the subtle changes that show comfort. Cally never needed to be on leash during our stay and she loved going in and out whenever one of us did.

NashvilleLovely pet friendly stay at Cavalier Cottage
Left on 08/12/2012 for a stay in August 2012
My husband and I and our two dogs, Berkeley and Pepper, stayed at Cavalier Cottage on august 4 and 5 on our way home to Tennessee from a vacation in Maine. We needed a place to stay for two nights near our son and his wife and their two dogs who live in Greenfield, ma. While we regularly visit the area this is the first time we stayed at Cavalier Cottage, which opened earlier this year. We certainly wish to stay there again. The studio apartment was spacious and inviting with comfortable and scrupulously clean bedroom, bathroom, sitting and kitchen areas. The kitchen was well equipped with excellent ground coffee from a local roaster. In addition to the coffee, cereal, milk and fresh fruit for our use in the kitchen area, our host Pat Butterfield brought delicious freshly baked scones, juice, butter and preserves to our room at a time we specified each morning. An outstanding feature of Cavalier Cottage is the degree to which it is pet friendly. Pets are not only allowed. They are treated as honored guests. If the accompanying humans need to leave their pets in the apartment alone, Pat is willing to check in on them and even provides services such as walking them or allowing them to use a fenced area behind her house for a nominal fee. She has seven dogs of her own but her dogs are sequestered from those of her guests. In addition to the excellent accommodations for pets at the cottage, there are lovely places for them to walk in the cottage's rural setting and many nearby places for them to explore and swim. Lastly, while not at all intrusive, Pat is a most congenial host who catered to our every wish. We hope Cavalier Cottage is available to us for many years to come.

Cavalier Cottage was an ideal place for Hannah, my LH dachsund, and me. We spent a month here in a lovely country setting. The place was very clean and well appointed. All linens were lovely and fresh. The kitchen was well-equipped. Ceiling fans and aC were rarely needed, but worked well. Patricia was a superb host-she was very knowledgeable about the area and saw to our requests quickly. Her dogs are sweet, wonderful canines. The cottage is close to lots of activities, and I was charmed by Shelburne Falls . Thanks, Patricia.

Very charming and clean accomodations. Pat was a wonderful host, and her breakfast was great. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals (suggestion: you might want to shop at the grocery store just off the interstate before going to her house). The house is close to the Deerfield River if you like to fish for big trout or go rafting and otherwise is in a quiet and beautiful area to visit. Pat went above and beyond to help us with our special needs. We did not have any pets, but it was obvious how caring she would be for any animals that came to visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Cavalier Cottage. The accommodations were immaculate, the setting relaxed and informal. Pat was the perfect host - attentive but respectful of our privacy. The cottage offered ample room to spread out and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful... how wonderful to wake up to the sound of the breeze and chirping birds. Away from it all... but still easy access to surrounding hill towns, plus Greenfield, Brattleboro, and Northampton via 91. We definitely plan on staying here again on any return trip to the area.

"Delightful, quiet, clean, charming! We are very happy we couldn't get our usual amherst-area lodging and found Cavalier Cottage (on the web). Some of the most special qualities: peaceful, beautiful setting; delicious breakfast with homemade scones; an easy commute to the five college area! We hope to come again soon!†-

Pittsburgh PAA peaceful country stay in a wonderful cottage
Left on 06/08/2012 for a stay in June 2012
Loved everything about Cavalier Cottage: the setting, the cottage itself, which included lovely but functional furnishings and a full kitchen. Everything was clean and fresh and well cared-for. Best of all is hostess Pat Butterfield, who is helpful but never intrusive. This was my second stay, and I will be back again whenever I can visit this beautiful part of the country.

We loved the woodsy setting and proximity to the charming downtown area. It's a peaceful setting with a pretty flower garden in front of the house. It was a great place to bring the dogs - plenty of great places to walk. Pat was a wonderful host and we enjoyed the continental breakfast every morning.

Patricia couldn't have been a better host. Very pet friendly for my disabled dog (easy in and out access.) Also very clean and odor-free, which I know must be a challenge. The area is charming and quaintly. Many great hiking and river areas nearby. Patricia guided me to close-by spots in town and each person I met was just as kind, friendly and interesting as the previous. I even stopped by the local vet for a minor issue and he didn't even charge me for a visit. My destination was "Eddie's Wheels" (amazing place with amazing people,) but the Cottage made the trip more of a getaway than just a necessary trip. Any pet person (or not,) I'd recommend it.

Madrid, SpainBest lodging experience ever
Left on 05/30/2012 for a stay in May 2012
Our experience at Cavalier Cottage couldn't have been better. The cottage was fantastic, super comfortable, cozy and with lots of space for my husband, my dog and myself. It was pretty hot outside but the cottage always remained cool. The kitchen had all the necessary items, coffee, tea, cereal, milk, and many more things. Patricia was the most amazing host I've ever had and assisted us with anything we needed. She gave us a couple of maps and told us where to go, gave us directions and recommendations. Patricia served for breakfast the best scones I've ever had in my life. The area in which the Cottage is located is really amazing and beautiful and it's surrounded by hiking and walking trails. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommended it even if you don't have dogs. We're already planning our next visit to Cavalier Cottage. Thanks Patricia for everything!

Our stay at Cavalier Cottage could not have been any better. The cozy but spacious cottage was a home away from home. Our 4-legged family member was just as welcome as were we with every need met 100%. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, clean accommodations and the delicious warm scones in the morning. Wow, it can't get any better. Thank you Patricia!

Pat Butterfield's pet-friendly rural Pioneer Valley cottage is an ideal escape from urban america. The accommodations are comfortable, clean, and the price reasonable. The freshly baked breakfast scones got us off to an hearty start with our Golden Retriever touring western ma and southern VT. This was an ideal vacation spot and we shall return.

Bill and Ilka,
Thanks so much for your gracious review. It is very gratifying to know that guests (both 2 and 4-legged) can enjoy all the wonderful attributes of this area while staying at a truly people and dog-friendly establishment.
Look forward to seeing you again in the fall.

My husband, 2 yo daughter and I recently stayed at Cavalier Cottage in the Shelburne Falls area of Massachusetts. We enjoyed our stay very much. Owner, Pat, was very welcoming and friendly, providing fresh home-baked breakfast each morning during our stay. I was instantly impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage, inside and out, upon arrival. We also brought our two Brittany Spaniels, who enjoyed walking the quiet country roads and running in the front yard as well as a nearby open field. The five of us also enjoyed relaxing on the front porch overlooking the quiet country surroundings. The cottage was very convenient to downtown Shelburne Falls, which offers various shops, art galleries and restaurants. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend to others, especially those who wish to travel with their furry companions.

It was a pleasure having you stay at the Cottage and enjoy both the indoor and outdoor offerings. We hope you come and visit again.

Cambridge, MAGreat stay at Cavalier Cottage
Left on 05/02/2012 for a stay in April 2012
Our stay at Cavalier Cottage exceeded expectations. We arrived after a long drive to an incredibly cozy (but spacious) and well-stocked studio, and felt immediately welcomed and comfortable. Pat greeted us every morning with her own freshly made scones, as well as baked goods from the local bakery. The Cottage is in a great location, with nearby hikes, rafting, restaurants (Gypsy apple is wonderful for a nice night out), Mass Moca, and even a great bowling alley. It was lucky to have such a great place available where we could also bring our dog, who enjoyed the trip just as much as we did :) We'll definitely be returning to the Cottage on our next trip to Western ma.

We stayed at Cavalier cottage with our dog for a 2 night stay during the winter. The accomodations were perfect and Patricia is a great hostess and avid dog lover. Unlike some other "dog friendly" places, you feel your dog is truly welcomed, not just tolerated. We were interested in doing nature walks and other outdoor activities, and found the location to be very convenient. We will definitely be back!

I don't know where to start. The Location: beautiful, serene, and relaxing. Also very close to extremely quaint new england villages. The Facility: Fantastic. Everything was clean and neat and the kitchen is phenomenal. If only my own kitchen were so spacious and well-stocked! The Hostess: Gracious, kind, professional and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place for vacationers, and vacationers with pets. Really great stay.

A beautiful, clean, apartment style rental, in a charming location. The owner was welcoming and friendly yet didn't linger to long. Her warm home made English scones were excellent. We couldn't have asked for more.

Greenfield, MaA wonderful place to stay with or without pets.
Left on 03/15/2012 for a stay in February 2012
The cottage is clean, full of light and simply decorated. I have stayed in frilly, cutesy, flowery places that felt downright claustrophobic. The full-size kitchen has new appliances and is stocked with everything one could want, from coffee and teas to hot cereal and a variety of fresh fruit. Pat, the proprietor, spoiled me with fresh baked English scones each morning of my stay.
It is located on a country road that offers lovely, peaceful walks past farm houses and woods. I was attending a conference during my stay and found it convenient to major roads. Probably the most outstanding feature of this charming place is the woman who owns it. She has created a warm and welcome spot for pets and their humans. I brought my new rescue dog Fiona, who had been with me for only a week. Pat supplied a crate, offered welcomed advice and some of her homemade dog food when Fiona would not eat what I brought. Pat is helpful, generous and never intrusive.
Cavalier Cottage is a wonderful place to stay with or without your pets. As a woman who travels alone, I really value privacy, convenience, safety and beautiful countryside. I found it all in this lovely B&B.;
