Get Back to Nature
Bartholomew's Cobble is home to one of
North America's greatest diversities of fern species and their allies,
as well as abundant woodland wildflowers. The Reservation is named for
its two rocky knolls that rise above the Housatonic River, and the property's magnificent 239 acres includes a variety of terrain with majestic views of the region, lots of wildlife and 5 miles of moderate hiking trails. Bring a picnic and let the kids run wild! Paddlers bring your canoes and kayaks to explore the marshlands.

Don't
miss JT perform with the Boston Pops at Tanglewood! . We've put together
the quintessential summer package, simply called our JT Package. This package features two lawn tickets to JT's August 30th performance with the Boston Pops

accommodations and breakfast for two the next day for just $345
(including tax & gratuity). We have a very limited number of these
packages to offer, so please don't wait to call - 413.298.1690!
 Just to top things off: we're displaying a blast from JT's past: the GTO featured in "Two Lane Blacktop" starring a young Mr. Taylor himself! This cult classic tells a story about obsession, nihilism, the emptiness of the open road, a driver (JT), a mechanic, a girl, and... aw, heck, it's a bare-bones muscle-car seventies movie born out of America's love of the automobile - rent the DVD and enjoy the ride!
Please call our reservations department at 413-298-1690. Or to check availability please click here! |
