Weekend Trip to Art-Funk Forest Retreat
First off, the pictures do not do this cabin justice. This place is amazing. My entire family enjoyed all of the eclectic artwork and my wife was in heaven with the extensive collection of literature. The cabin was clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The jacuzzi tub is a must to unwind. There's plenty of seasoned fireword for the stone fireplace and a collection of board games to enjoy. Outside we found hidden spots of whimsy with fairy lights and sculpture throughout the property. The host was very responsive and couldn't be more helpful. We would definitely recommend and will certainly be back.

Granville Lodge, Farm & Theater

1 site · Lodging5 acres · Granville, MA
We are passionate makers of things: literary, painterly. Carpentry and upcycling. We have a big noisy friendly dog on about five wooded acres. There are two cabins - an adorable A-frame and a sprawling 1970's-era pad abt 100 ft away. In between the two is a wood shop with an apartment upstairs. Many gardens, fruit trees, art installations. Grills for cooking out, walking trails for good dogs :) White rasberries, elderberries and peaches in the summer! All in a tiny *hill town* in the sweet Berkshire foothills. Surrounded by sprawling old apple orchards, pick-ur-own apples. Hiking and biking. Maple sugaring and XC skiing nearby. Short drive to Easthampton, Noho and Granby Ct. Road trip to Becket (Jacob's Pillow&Dream Away Lodge) , North Adams (Mass MoCa), Pittsfield

Moon In The Pond Farm

5 sites · Lodging, Tents35 acres · Sheffield, MA
Well off the beaten track, it's scenic, private and peaceful. Camping at Moon In The Pond Farm is a bit of heaven. There are separate sites to choose. Around the farm, you have your own secluded spot to enjoy. (Though you may be in a field next to our Scottish Highland cattle!) Two are tent sites: the PondSide and the FieldEdge. There's one site for small/tiny RVs or Campervan. And finally there's the HiddenCabin--a bed a roof and convenience. Each has a firepit with a small grill to cook over the fire. (all firewood provided) Our campsites are in quieter areas of the farm. One overlooks the pond, others are on the edges of different farm fields, one a cabin nearer the farmstead. All require a beautiful, bucolic trek of 150-350 yards from the roadside parking--ensuring the quiet, natural experience. During the day times, you may see or hear farm work. At night it's lusciously dark and serenely quiet. You'll hear owls hoot, frogs croak, crickets chirp, foxes yowl and coyotes howl! In June and July the fields and trees light up like Christmas with fireflies, and you'll see the stars. During the week is the absolute best time--the local hot spots (or cooling down spots!) are much quieter, and all our campsites have reduced weekday rates. If you can, take advantage by adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a weekend stay. We've got an awesome, easy hiking trail on adjacent Nature Conservancy land. It meanders through woodlands, around rock ledges, through wetlands (on a 600' of boardwalk) and ends at a beautiful stream and pond with a gigantic beaver dam. Not far from here are numerous well-marked hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail (with famous Bash Bish Falls) and several offshoots (Sage's Ravine, Race Brook Falls), Bartholomew's Cobble, Umpacheenee Falls, and others). Also in the neighborhood are opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, gavel-road and country-road biking, and pretty much any outdoor activity/adventure opportunity. Or... you can just chill and relax, sleep, or read the day away! Love food? This is Farm-to-Table for real! Never so close--the table's AT the farm! Bring your cooking gear and get some of our wicked fresh organic food--veggies, chops, sausages, eggs, bacon, granola, yogurt, etc. Sear yourself up a real treat! Very nearby, as the Berkshires is a cultural mecca, there are also numerous opportunities from many great restaurants to art, dance, music, spas, galleries, antique shops, museums, cafes and much more. It's still amazingly quiet at the farm where the Milky Way is clearly visible.
