Glamping in Massachusetts

Name: Massachusetts
Address: Massachusetts
Rating: 4.899

Whether you prefer snowy mountains, wooded wilderness, or sandy beaches, Massachusetts has an outdoor adventure to suit, but you don’t need to bring your RV or a tent to get back to nature in the Bay State. Glamping in Massachusetts is just as fun as you might expect, and there are quirky cabins, cozy treehouses, and luxury glampsites dotted all around the state. Go glamping in The Berkshires with spectacular fall foliage views, rent an A-Frame in the woods outside of Boston, or check into a log cabin in the Mohawk Trail State Forest or Savoy Mountain State Forest. If white-sand beaches and whale-watching sound more like your kind of glamping vacation, you can also book an ocean-view cottage or vintage Airstream along the Cape Cod National Seashore, rent a yurt at nearby Nickerson State Park, or sleep in a luxury safari tent on Martha's Vineyard.

In Massachusetts, glamping is a type of outdoor stay combining camping's nature setting with the luxury and convenience of comforts like beds, warm showers, or electricity. When glamping in Massachusetts, there's no need to bring your own tent—instead, glampers may stay the night in a cabin, a vintage Airstream, a canvas bell tent, a yurt, or even a treehouse.

Weekend Trip to Ponderings at White Pond

They greeted us upon arrival and told us some fun stories. They showed us everything we needed to know and then let us enjoy. The dock/raft/boat thing was such a fun surprise. We got to cruise around the pond, fish and jump in. Comfortable bed in the cabin/tent as well. Nice temperature inside despite the warm temps outside.

We went Salem it took and it about 1 1/2 hrs and to get to Boston during the week about 30 min and on the weekend about an hour.

1 night at Winimusett Brook Farm Retreat

This cozy cabin is the absolute perfect nature retreat. Me and my wife stayed during some rain and listening to it fall through the leaves with the wood fire crackling away was soul nourishing. Getting to the location was very easy, although it did require a bit of steep hiking to get there. My only complaint was that I only booked one night! Our dogs loved it too. The loft is a bit tight but cozy and comfortable. We loved our time here and we're looking forward to our next visit!

We loved staying at the honey shack! The shack has the perfect amount of amenities. Outhouse was clean. The outdoor shower was lovely. The mattress was very comfy. My son slept really well on the couch. However, our absolute favorite thing about this place was the location! Biking to the beach every day was my kids dreams come true! Easy enough ride my 5 year old could do it all by himself. The Brewster beach pass was easy to get online to explore other beaches. We had a great time!
