testimonials

  • I stayed at Leslie Cerier’s Organic Gourmet Getaway with a friend during one of the cooking workshop weekends. The experience was absolutely wonderful. She is such a warm and welcoming host. We enjoyed her beautiful house, every detail is so well thought through. We both think that Leslie should be on TV teaching others how to use green living concepts in your everyday life. From her delicious food to mattresses and pillows to her luscious garden, everything created an atmosphere of relaxation, happiness and joy. I highly recommend Leslie’s Organic Gourmet Getaway!

  • Serene setting, comfortable home and welcoming host – we enjoyed our stay at Leslie’s house and exploring the surrounding area. Her home is wonderful with the interior architecture and artwork with the surrounding grounds adding wonderful views with all the natural gardens. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to cross our life paths with yours, Leslie. Thank-you for a lovely stay and for welcoming us into your beautiful home. Clearly, this a space of care which you have created.

  • I enjoyed every moment… from the cozy atmosphere of your home to the wonderful smell of your food ! Everything was simply delicious! And to make it even better I had the opportunity to meet you! Thank you for being a wonderful host! I had an amazing experience! My best wishes to you and your Organic Lifestyle Retreat!

  • Leslie‘s property is beautiful, and just as expected from her description and photos. I stayed in a large bedroom on the second floor with a very comfortable bed and en suite private bathroom. Every window had a scenic view of the trees and/or her stunning flower garden. Leslie is a very welcoming and friendly host. She’s also an excellent cook! She made me a delicious breakfast with fresh, organic local ingredients (including just-picked raspberries!). I was looking for a weekend escape from the city. Leslie’s house in the woods (off a dirt road) was the perfect retreat! I definitely recommend it!

    Kelly Somerville, MA
  • Setting, the woods, was extraordinarily beautiful, peaceful and quiet. House was lovely. Leslie was very nice, extremely accommodating and flexible. We arrived hours early but that was no problem for her. Gave us an additional room for our daughter in response to our last minute request. Leslie went out of her way to accommodate us.

    Marta Smokler L A, CA
  • This home was both aesthetically lovely and beautifully functional. The setting was pristine, uncluttered, clean, and spiritually uplifting. We were communicated with well prior to our arrival and we were given a complete and friendly overview upon our arrival. The room was beyond our expectations with Leslie’s beautiful art work tastefully adorning the walls and literally infusing the room with life and serenity. The bed was the most comfortable we had ever slept in. We were very tired upon arrival and after an initial friendly orientation we were provided privacy and quiet so we could wind down and settle in early. Leslie had cheerfully agreed to cook us a wholesome, sumptuous breakfast. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast in a beautifully serene outdoor setting overlooking her gorgeous flower gardens. She is a great cook! If you need a natural, contemplative, quiet setting that can really serve as a retreat, this is the place!

  • Thank you for the wonderful stay. The room was large; the bed comfortable. You were very accommodating re: meeting us and showing us around and making us feel at ease coming and going. We would definitely stay with you again and would recommend your place to those looking for a quiet, comfortable stay. All the best to you!

    Jana, KaplanFastow Maryland
  • Leslie was a wonderful hostess. Beautiful home and gardens. Spotless accommodations. She made me a delicious breakfast including all organic fruits and locally sourced organic yogurt. All in all a great experience. I hope to stay with you again in the future.

    Anne Di Franco Connecticut
  • Our overnight stay at Leslie’s beautiful home was just fine. The house, and Leslie exude warmth. The bedroom is large and airy, and features a very comfortable bed. The equally substantial bathroom suite offers the choice of bath or shower. The house is spotlessly clean. Leslie’s commitment to an organic lifestyle sets a tone of intention throughout the property. The setting is wonderfully wooded, peaceful and serene. If you’re looking for a true respite from the toils of urban life while visiting the Pioneer Valley, this is the place for you.
