About the host
Hosted by kathryn ellis
I work at UMass Amherst and we bought this home for when I travel there to work. My husband and I live in Boston most of the time. When I am in Amherst its like a little piece of heaven, beautiful wide open countryside which reminds me of Ireland where I am from.
