Spring welcomes visitors with colorful gardens and a chorus of cheerful birds. During summer, guests can rest in the apple orchard or take a refreshing dip in the pool, while horses frolic in the neighboring hills. Fall is a special time, with the renowned Fall Foliage of the Berkshires wowing visitors with a dazzling display of vibrant autumn hues. Soon the blanketing snows of winter signal the beginning of the skiing season at Jiminy Peak – only minutes away.
