The Five College family weekend rental
with room for everyone.
More than 80 private acres in Leverett, a short drive from Amherst and the Five Colleges. Rent the entire 120,000-square-foot estate and keep multiple families together for the whole weekend, from the first campus tour to the last shared breakfast.
One estate for
every family in the group.
The Five College Consortium, Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, and UMass Amherst, draws families to the Pioneer Valley all year, for family weekends, homecomings, campus tours, and reunions. The trouble is always the same: the people who matter most end up scattered across a dozen booked-out inns and hotels miles apart. A stay at Juggler Meadow flips that around. With eighteen bedrooms spread across the estate’s five residences, several families can settle into one private estate together.
That single change reshapes the whole weekend. No one is racing between hotels or juggling five separate breakfasts and check-out times. The estate becomes your shared home base near the colleges, a place where parents, grandparents, siblings, and cousins all gather on one private estate. It is the difference between a rushed campus visit and a weekend the family actually spends together.
Minutes from every
campus you came for.
Leverett sits right at the center of the Pioneer Valley, so no matter which college your visit revolves around, the drive is short. Amherst College and downtown Amherst are a short drive away, with UMass Amherst, Hampshire, Smith in Northampton, and Mount Holyoke in South Hadley all an easy reach from the estate gate.
Families touring different schools in the same weekend can fan out by day and reconvene at the estate by evening. When the campus events wrap, everyone returns to the same place rather than to separate hotels across town.

Room for several families
to gather as one.
Eighteen bedrooms across the estate’s five residences give every family in the group its own quiet corner, while the grand halls and formal dining room bring everyone back together. Visiting grandparents get a comfortable suite, the cousins claim a wing, and the parents finally have a kitchen and a table big enough for the whole crowd.
The Lodge is one of the estate’s five residences. Its 9,600 square feet include five king suites and 5.5 baths, all within the estate’s 18 bedrooms and overnight accommodations for approximately 50 guests. It is a family reunion and a college visit rolled into one private, unhurried weekend.
Something for
every generation.
A campus tour rarely fills an entire weekend, and Juggler Meadow makes the in-between hours the part everyone remembers. The Spa spans approximately 55,000 square feet and contains an indoor water park with a grotto and waterfall, a private bowling alley, a two-story arcade, an indoor sport court, and fitness spaces. The Main House adds a home theater, while the grounds include outdoor pools and gardens.
The youngest cousins head for the water park and arcade while the grandparents settle into The Spa or the pub, and a movie night in the theater pulls everyone back together at the end of the day. No one has to leave the grounds to find their fun.
