I stayed here while attending my college reunion. I wanted to enjoy the excitement of the reunion but "get away from it all" at the end of each day. Ivory Creek was the perfect choice! I started my visit with a quick walk around the grounds and a swim. The rooms were beautifully decorated and had everything I needed. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about the area. I simply can't say enough about the delicious food - honestly, I thought that the owners could have run a full-time restaurant based on the quality of the breakfasts I had! Moreoever, I noticed that they were able to accomodate all kinds of dietary restrictions. I would definitely stay here again for a future visit to my alma mater or any visit to the Pioneer Valley.
My only suggestions for a better stay are: (1) The pool is heated, but the heat wasn't on--I would have been a bit nicer to be in a heated pool. Guests may want to warn the owners of your plans to swim in advance and see if they will turn on the heat; (2) My room was above an aviary. The birds were pretty to look at and the area was very clean, but they were a little loud on one of the mornings I was there. I didn't even notice them the second day, but guests may want to ask about their room location relative to the aviary if they plan to sleep in!
