Inns and B&Bs
Berkshires and Pioneer Valley have comfortable B&Bs & historic inns
From a pair of old brownstones on Beacon Street in the Greater Boston area to a rambling 1811 estate in the Berkshires, Massachusetts inns and B&Bs are smaller, quiet, extremely luxurious lodgings that absolutely reflect the historic character and regions of MA. Romanic and historic inns are scattered through the small town and rolling hills of the Berkshires towns of Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lee, and Lenox, and the Connecticut River Valley towns of Springfield, West Springfield, Northampton, and Amherst. Mass. hotels and motels in the Berkshires place visitors close to wonderful attractions like Six Flags New England; the Zoo in Forest Park; the Catamount, Jiminy Peak, and Bousquet ski areas; Berkshire Theatre Festival; Norman Rockwell Museum; Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art; and Historic Deerfield.

Tucked into the Berkshire foothills, Shelburne Springs is a beautifully restored 1914 mansion where 38 acres of native trees and wildflowers set the stage for a genuinely unhurried escape.

Mornings begin with a complimentary breakfast and locally sourced coffee; evenings wind down by the fire pit or on the expansive veranda.
