Holiday home in the Berkshires; Becket, Massachusetts, USA
Are you interested in visiting New England? Contact us and see what we can work out. We are both retired and very flexible in terms of time. We often do non simultaneous exchanges. Two or three week exchanges are possible in the fall. Weekend exchanges in New York City, anytime, would be of interest but we are open to other adventures as well!
Regardless of the season in the beautiful Berkshires of western Massachusetts, there is so much to see and do throughout the region. Visit this beautiful area of New England during the autumn for spectacular fall foliage as well as the many cultural attractions. The location of our home is within 20 minutes of Stockbridge, Lenox and Great Barrington. We are 2 1/2 hours from Boston and 21/2 hours from New York City, 1 hour from Vermont.
The Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival is five minutes down the road. Outstanding theatres, including Barrington Stage and Shakespeare & Co., museums including the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, and the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, are easily reached. There are many restaurants, shopping, golf, tennis and outdoor activities and hiking trails throughout our area. Spas at Canyon Ranch and the Kripalu Center are within 15 minutes of our home. There are art galleries in all the nearby towns. Or you can just relax on our screened porch and enjoy our extensive garden in the woods!
