Rates & Booking Options
The Porches Inn at MASS MoCA
North Adams, Massachusetts
The fun northern base: restored row houses, a year-round heated pool, and MASS MoCA across the street.
You want an artsy, relaxed base next to MASS MoCA
You mostly want Tanglewood and the southern Berkshires
A 47-room inn made from six restored Victorian row houses that once housed mill workers, with a playful, artsy feel inside. The outdoor pool is heated and the hot tub runs into the evening, even in winter.
I recommend it for art lovers and anyone spending a day at MASS MoCA and the Clark, since you can walk to one and drive 15 minutes to the other. The trade-off: North Adams is a small former mill city, not a postcard village, and you're 45 minutes from Lenox and Tanglewood.
