13 minutes from the cottage. Brew Pub with a great selection of beers. We love the food, the wings are a local favorite. My personal favorite is the mushroom ravioli. The porions are large, we usually have enough for lunch the next day. We have never been disappointed.

This is a beautiful place, great food, great prices. Brand new, still undergoing renovations as of March 2019. When completed it will be spectacular - basically a wedding/events venue. However they have a wonderful restaurant overlooking the lake.

This is only 4 miles from the cottage. I LOVED this. It is a tree-to-tree adventure. What most people think of as "zip-line." But it is more than that. I was so afraid I couldn't do it, but I amazed myself... can't wait to go back. Fun for all ages.

Modern Art at its best! Plan to spend most of the day here. Large rooms full of exhibits. Some you'll love others you'll just shake your head and think "WHAT??" There is also a cafe and gift shop. PLUS, a theatre. We were there once and Jacob's Pillow had a performance in the evening! All for the price of admission!
