Your assignment: Plan an unforgettable girls’ getaway in the Berkshires. Are you up to the task? We’ve got a few ideas to get you started. So, grab your gal pals, and let’s lay out the agenda for an amazing weekend with lifelong friends.
Choose a 4-Season Destination
The first step means choosing a destination and a season that fulfills all your desires. What’s at the top of your list? Outdoor adventure? Comfort and relaxation? An opportunity to indulge your lust for arts and culture? Pick a theme to form the foundation of your getaway, and let the destination guide you. In the Berkshires, every season offers a wealth of opportunities to fulfill your fantasies. Western Massachusetts shines in all four seasons with quaint mountain villages to explore, historic homes, a thriving cultural scene, and an emerging foodie destination.
Stay in a Luxurious Country Estate
Our charming country estate in Lee, Massachusetts, puts you right in the heart of the Berkshires. Choose accommodations in the main house, the carriage house, or book the private cottage that sleeps four. With old-world charm and modern amenities, everyone in your party will rest in comfort. Sprawl out around the pool in summer, gather ‘round the fire pit with a cocktail come evening, or find a quiet spot in front of the fireplace in the library to snuggle up with a good book. The warm hospitality you find at the Inn sets the stage for a luxurious retreat.
Explore the Food Scene
Live to eat or eat to live. It’s the ultimate conundrum. But here in the Berkshires, dining is an art form. Choose your favorite ethnic cuisine, dine in a cozy café or gastropub, or splurge on a farm-to-table experience in a quaint farmhouse with a wine list that earned a Wine Spectator award. Tour some local wineries and craft breweries for a real taste of the Berkshires. After all, “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” —Virginia Woolf
Book Some Time for Self-Care
Staying physically, mentally, and emotionally well is the key to self-care and critical to maintaining a sense of balance in your life. With massage therapists just a phone call away, we can arrange for in-house massages in our private massage room. Or book spa treatments at a local spa for some quality time with the girls over mani/pedis and facials.
Shop ‘til You Drop
Girls just want to have fun! What could be more fun than a shopping spree with your besties? Charming shops and boutiques line the main streets of Lenox and Stockbridge, offering elegant clothing and footwear along with candy, jewelry, and handcrafted gift items. Just around the corner from the Inn, you’ll find the Lee Premium Outlets, a treasure trove of bargains just waiting for you to take home. It’s a virtual shopping mecca here in the Berkshires.
A dynamic destination. Warm and inviting accommodations, plus time to chill with treasured friends. That’s all you need to plan an unforgettable girls’ getaway in the Berkshires. So, now that you know the who, what, and where, all you need to figure out is when to gather the girls and get out of town.
