Kiosk Hello

We are back from MA for some­time but now I am finally get­ting down to it! The trip began in the Berk­shires (west side of the state). We arrived late in the day to Race Brook Lodge in Sheffield, close to the CT border, and ate at their restau­rant The Stage­coach Tavern. Great sleep! A down to earth estab­lish­ment, super food, local ingre­di­ents! Nice hosts! Intel­li­gent too! Semi-​communal living in the dining hang-​out area, late night read­ing and tea. No TV or phone in the rooms! It was the per­fect home for two nights. Good loca­tion to have as a base. Both days we hiked in the morn­ing along Race Brook stream to the Falls(out the back­door of the lodge), the second day going fur­ther up the trail we found the lower falls and wound up hop­ping in the pool at the bottom, cold! Fresh! The view across the valley from the lower falls was incred­i­ble. Race Brook Lodge requires a repeat per­for­mance: www.​rblodge.com, better than the web­site. As they describe them­selves, a chintz-​free envi­ron­ment! That’s right!
