We were so impressed with Berkshires Untold – a thoughtfully renovated 1970s lodge turned seriously cool boutique hotel destination in Lenox, MA. If Lenox isn’t already on your spring/summer trip list, it should be. Creative, calming, a little country, a little chic – we loved it! Safe to say, we’ll be back (often).
Berkshires Untold conjures a contemporary take on New England nostalgia, where warm woody interiors, retro mountain-lodge decor and shelves crammed with books evoke the spirit of artists past.
