Travel to Stockbridge, MA
-- town description, search for hotel and motel accommodations
by Eric H., lifelong
New Englander
Stockbridge, MA, in the beautiful
Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts, represents New
England at its best. --small-town, Norman Rockwell comes to life,
but with very little of the overly commercial by-products. The
presence of an old-time market luncheonette, the feel of sitting
on a rocking chair at the grand, old Red
Lion Inn, the wide sidewalks and tree-lined streets, beautiful
churches with tall white steeples and well-preserved Colonial
homes in perfectly manicured neighborhoods are just a few of
the things that make Stockbridge a great New England place to
be. Touring the Red Lion Inn inside creates a mental note to
definitely come back to stay -- this is the blueprint for what
people perceive as a classic New England inn -- lots of wood,
dim lighting, antiques, china, a reserved but friendly staff
and a restaurant with lots of New England fare.
Stockbridge is like a living
outdoor museum, with the fresh mountain air and toy-village look
of the downtown and rural scenery making it that much better
than a few rooms of artifacts. You can't get any more New England
than this.
Much of the appeal of Stockbridge
can be attributed to just being there. All it takes to become
a fan of the town is to open your eyes and look around. You can
feel the spirit and serenity in just one blink. I plan on blinking
many more times in Stockbridge.
