Skiing was so fun; this house is so cozy. We love your house! --Whitney & Lyla October 17-20, 2015 We had a terrific time staying at Whitman Woods. My sisters, their husbands and my husband and I enjoyed the hiking (although the trail was not discernible due to too many fallen sticks and, of course, the leaves), the fireplace, found some great things to do in the area -- e.g. Jiminy Peak, Hancock Shaker Village and dinner at Hops & Vines in Williamstown. My daughter and her husband and 2 twin 3-year old girls came for a visit and loved the leaves, the climbing structure, the toys downstairs and the book of poetry for kids.

As always, it was a wonderful retreat from our usual busy routine in Boston. That said, we found plenty to do. We visited four museums (Clark, MassMoCA, WCMA & Rockwell), saw plays at Berkshire Theatre Festival and Shakespeare & Co., and hiked the trails at the Clark where we also took in a free concert. We dined at all our old faves and found a couple of new ones -- Haflinger Haus in Adams and North County Pastaria in North Adams. We love the location of Whitman Woods because it's so secluded yet equidistant from all the things we love to do. As always, we found the house clean and well-stocked. It's always a pleasure. --Anne & Ken December 1, 2013 - March 31, 2014 Thank you very much for sharing your house with us. We had a great time and the kids say it is "their ski house." It is like a second home for all of us. See you next season. --Susana & Jeannette October 11-14, 2013 Thank you for the beautiful home in the woods. The four bedrooms, large kitchen/living area were more than we could've asked for. We loved the fireplace and the fact that there was plenty of wood for a roaring fire was great! We loved the large deck on the cool crisp nights. We have been coming to this area for 40+ years and this is one of the nicest homes/most well-equipped place we've stayed. We hope to be back next year. Thanks again. --David, Sandra & Family October 4-7, 2013 Thank you so much! We had a fantastic time in your lovely home.

The best camping near Mount Greylock State Reservation guide

Overview

About

Stand atop the 3,491-foot Mount Greylock, and you’ll feel on top of the world—or at least on top of Massachusetts. The state’s highest point affords views across five states on a clear day, and it’s possible to hike or drive to the summit. Inspiring writers such as Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau, this storied peak also provides the backdrop to year-round wilderness adventures. Hikes range from woodland walks to an 11.5-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail, while winter trails allow for backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling, and the primitive campsites are all hike-in only.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Eighteen tent sites and nine group sites are reservable via the Reserve America website.
Online reservations open four months in advance and must be made one day before arrival.
Campsites can book up fast, especially over summer or on holiday weekends, so plan ahead and book as soon as possible.

When to go

Outdoor adventures take place year-round at Mount Greylock, but the main season runs from mid-May through October. Outside of this season, many facilities, including camping and auto roads, are closed (Note: Camping is sometimes available in the off-season by request). Expect traffic congestion and crowds on weekends throughout the season; plan an early start, especially for holiday weekends. Fall is a popular time to visit, when the park’s fall foliage drives afford spectacular views.
