Name: Mariah
Location: Berkshire Mountains
Lodging Link: No link, my family place :)
Description: We visit the Berkshire Mountains every year. Our place, nestled in the New England woods, has been in my family for four generations and is shared with my extended family. The cabins aren't much to look at but the scenery is unmatched. No electricity and no cell phone service so it's sort of a forced separation from reality - it's glorified camping, really...
Reader Escapes: Mariah's Berkshire Retreat
submit your own...
...Our summers are filled with loud, happy, huge family dinners (as soon as we start the dishes for one meal we're planning the next), fishing, swimming, hiking, intense scrabble tournaments by candlelight, and blueberry-picking adventures. I always come away from my time there with a sense of complete peace. Batteries recharged, ready to tackle the real world again (but looking forward to next summer).
Thanks, Mariah!

Do you know how hard it is to read all these Escapes posts while sitting at my desk?!?!?!

Awesome. I'm a Berkshires girl myself - my parents used to own a place in West Stockbridge and grew up in Pittsfield/Lenox region till they dragged us (kicking & screaming) to NY. Now, I love NY...too.

Look at that sunset! We're right down the road in Canaan, NY. I was going to post a few pics of our little retreat, but I think you represent the serenity and beauty of the Berkshires region just perfectly.

My girlfriend and I fell for the Berkshires really hard last month and have already gone back to scope it out further.
Sooo envious.
AT should do a post on The Mount, the most beautiful place I've ever seen!
