Bonding, teambuilding or just having fun - whatever you want to call it, recreational activities that include everyone are an important part of any group outing.  They're the things that bring people together, create memories and generate stories about the trip for years to come.  We're working with Zoar Outdoor to create Group Adventure Packages - combine overnight rooms at Porches, a communal gathering area in one of our private meeting rooms or outdoor spaces, and an activity at Zoar - rafting, paddling, rock climbing or zip-lining. Check out this "silent film" of an outdoor adventure in western Massachusetts ! Contact us and we'll set up a time to review the components with you and put together a complete package for you to work with.

With so much to do in the Berkshires year-round, sometimes you need a little help to figure out the best of the best.  A great way to keep up with activities in the North Adams area is to become a fan of Porches' Facebook page or follow us on Twitter.  

Consider starting your plans with one of our value dates - we're happy to send you a list. For any information on meetings, groups and other reasons to choose The Porches Inn, or to submit an RFP, send your requests to: meet@porches.com or give Jana a call at 413-664-0400.

You'll be the center of our attention - with 47 rooms, two intimate meeting spaces and some creative outdoor gathering spots; you won't feel as if you're being overlooked.  We're perfect for groups of 4 to 24.   

State of the industry hotel amenities (from wireless Internet to the bedding you expect to a full service fitness center, lap pool and sauna) means you won't sacrifice any big city comforts when you choose us!

We already mentioned this, but it's worth repeating: breakfast is included in our room rate - which will help to control your costs.   

We're pretty easy to get to - our location, right near the end of the Mohawk Trail (Route 2) puts us just two hours from Inman Square, and just over three hours from Union Square.  If you need to fly anyone in, check out the Albany International Airport, just about an hour away.
