Berkshires, Lenox and surrounding areas
 

From Long Island NY and will be spending a few days mid-week in the Lenox,Mass.(Berkshires)area. Would like a suggestion for a place between Lenox and homebase for us in Mass., Ct., or NY for 1 or 2 weekend nites on the way home in 2 weeks. Very short notice. Thanks

I am from LI Live in NYC now, go to Lenox often etc BUT the problem is that LI is only (well, if its Nassau) about 4 hrs from Lenox. You could stop in Litchfield Co Ct ie Lakeville, Kent, Washington, but they are only about 1 1/2hrs away. Beautiful though. Lake waramug is lovely, Kent Falls pretty. Thereafter, you really need to stay in Westchester & I am not familiar with places to stop except poss. Ridgefield which I hear is a chariming old town with at least one wel-known Inn. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick response...actually we were trying to extend our vacation for a few days, if we could find some place, on the way back to LI even if it is only 20 mins away from Lee-Lenox area. Ct, NY or Mass. is <BR>OK. Any names of places would be appreciated...if they are available at <BR>this late date. <BR> Thanks <BR> <BR>

May, Please read my response to you . thanks

Some of my suggestions depend on your budget. For ex., Kent is very nice, <BR>there are many nice looking b & bs in or near the town but I have only seen from outside. Washington is a lovely town: <BR>Lake Waramug is great. Some b & bs again no direct experience. On the lake is Hopkins Inn, might be tough to get res. now, Birches (very exp.), likewise the Boulders Inn. In Sharon, which is a nice loc too with a summer stock & good driving distance to lots of nice stuff, has a cheap clean motel. My best reommendation--friends stayed there--is the Interlocken Inn. Large modernplace <BR>with lake on grounds, but lousy food. <BR>Eat at Woodlands Restaurant. you can drive to Kent from there to see the falls, lake waramug--drive around?-- <BR>lunch in New Preston at Olivas or DOcs-- <BR>see the perfect little town of Wahington--see the Green & perhaps eat at the snazzy Mayflower Inn. <BR>There is a Litchfield Hills Chamber of Commerce. PS name is not really May; also live p/t in Washington so I have direct knowledge. Have fun & good weather!

forgot--Interlaken/lochen?--is in Salisury CT which is near Lakeville on NY State border.
