A yoga pavilion is on-site but if you prefer to go it alone then meditation in the forest is an option. Sculptural installations are a feast for the eyes along with the riverbank vistas. Room service is available if you enjoy the indoor delights such as requested massages and comfortable bedding. This includes free WiFi, air-conditioning, a fireplace, Flatscreen TV and yes, even a minibar.

If skydiving is on your bucket list then get ready to tick it off. A simple 0.4 miles is how far the Berkshire Skydiving spot is. In the afternoon, travel about 2.1 miles to Marion Ave which houses the Cascade Falls. They’ll be a refreshing site before coming back to the hotel for a warm and tasty dinner. Hikers can find themselves just 4.4 miles from Tourists at a special place called Mount Greylock. The drive up and the views are stunning especially during the fall. They even have a huge tower to view everything from! If there’s still some time, you can schedule a private guided hike at the hotel. Forest bathing is available too.
