Stockbridge Hotels, resorts, and Lodging
Stockbridge Massachusetts hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts are often converted mansions from the 19th
century - a time when the town was a vacation haven for affluent families.
Thus, many accommodations hearken back to New England traditions with fine china, period
décor, and small-town hospitality. However, Stockbridge manage's to slip in
some modern-day amenities, such as whirlpool baths, gas fireplaces, and swimming pools. Most bed and breakfasts
also provide complimentary evening wine and cheese in addition to hearty morning meals. Stockbridge's luxurious
hotels and other area accommodations place guests in proximity to the best attractions in the Berkshires.
Visiting Stockbridge
Visiting Stockbridge is like stepping into a painting. Artist Norman Rockwell, a Stockbridge resident for
25 years, immortalized the charming New England town with his "Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas." Many
people visit Stockbridge and its hotels every winter to see its Main Street adorned with lights, decorations,
and antique cars reminiscent of the famous painting. Visitors will most likely agree with the opinion of
Rockwell, who deemed the picturesque town "the best of America, the best of New England." Stockbridge - filled
with historic homes, a small-town appeal, and cultural attractions such as the Berkshire Theatre Festival and
Norman Rockwell Museum - retains a New England charm that has enticed vacationers for centuries.
