About Stockbridge

Tucked in the Berkshires, Stockbridge is a postcard-perfect New England town with leafy streets, historic clapboard houses, and a strong artsy spirit thanks to Norman Rockwell’s legacy. Staying here feels like stepping into a painting, and the hotels fit right in. You’ll find charming heritage inns that echo the town’s history, boutique stays with a modern twist, and family-friendly cottages close to Main Street. Wherever you check in, Stockbridge hotels capture that laid-back, quintessentially New England vibe.

Wander through the Norman Rockwell Museum, home to the largest collection of the artist’s work, or dive into history at sites like the Naumkeag Estate, the Mission House, and Chesterwood, once the studio of sculptor Daniel Chester French. A short trip takes you to Hancock Shaker Village, where life from another era comes alive, or to the elegant museums of neighbouring Lenox. If you prefer the outdoors, the rolling Berkshire Hills are perfect for biking, hiking, or even following a stretch of the Appalachian Trail beneath shady hemlocks and birches. Pleasant Valley Sanctuary and October Mountain State Forest offer wide-open spaces for wildlife spotting, canoeing, and horseback riding, while the Stockbridge Golf Club is a scenic place to tee off. Afterwards, the town’s cosy shops and restaurants beckon — and no visit is complete without a stop at The Red Lion Inn, a local institution for both a drink and a memorable stay.
