Scenic Berkshires Hotels with Mountain & Valley Views
The Berkshires are low mountains: the Taconic Range runs along the New York line, Mount Greylock rises to 3,491 feet in the north, and farmland fills the valleys. The properties in this collection are placed for the views. Bascom Lodge sits on the summit of Mount Greylock, the Guest House at Field Farm looks toward Greylock across 316 acres of conservation land, and Kripalu sits above Lake Mahkeenac. Monument Mountain Motel faces Monument Mountain outside Great Barrington.

- •The Taconic Range along the New York border gives long views to the west, particularly from higher sites around Lenox and Richmond, and Mount Greylock dominates the northern skyline.
- •Monument Mountain and October Mountain State Forest have hiking with real elevation gain, and the views from the top come without a technical climb. Properties near Great Barrington use Monument Mountain as a day trip.
- •Fall foliage in the Berkshires usually peaks in mid-October, a little later than Vermont's higher peaks.
