Winter Getaway Lodging in Western Massachusetts

Are you the kind of person who can’t wait for winter so you can explore the frosty outdoors? Or is winter something that makes you want to curl up by a cozy fire? Whichever type of winter person you are, you’ll find the perfect getaway in the Berkshires. During cold weather the region boasts alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, skating, and ice fishing. It also serves up some lovely fireplaces — in your room at a charming country inn, or in a romantic restaurant with mountain views. Book a massage in one of the area’s many spas and wellness centers, visit an art museum or lovely historic home, take an art class, catch a play or concert, or explore the offerings in a winery or brewery. The Berkshires cannot wait to welcome you!

What a lovely town Deerfield is in the winter, the snow sparkling on the roofs of its 18th- and 19th-century homes. And right in the middle of Main Street is the cozy Deerfield Inn, where winter travelers have found crackling fireplaces and warm hospitality since 1884. The 24 rooms in the main inn and carriage house feature period reproduction furniture, antiques and comfy reading chairs. Spend your days hiking up Mount Sugarloaf or skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing at Berkshire East, visiting the area’s many art and history museums, breweries or the Yankee Candle Village store. Come back to relax by the fire in the inn’s Beehive Parlor or at Champney’s mahogany bar. Sip a cocktail by the fire and dine on the restaurant’s creative, locally sourced cuisine.
