We spent two days at our happy-place, The Porches Inn in North Adams, MA

On the day after our wedding, we spent a cozy quiet mini-honeymoon overnight at The Porches Inn in North Adams, MA. We ‘discovered’ this little gem when we took our first trip together in May 2008, and we went back every year since (except last year). We made ourselves right at home in the cozy living room of the inn and settled in with our drinks and a good book before heading off to a phenomenal dinner.

The following morning, we woke up to a perfect cold crisp New England winter morning, and raided the breakfast buffet. After a lazy morning, we drove back to Boston taking the long way through scenic Massachusetts roads, with a stop in Northampton for a late lunch.

We took a quick little get-away to The Porches Inn, in North Adams, MA spent a lovely evening by the pool, and then enjoyed gin and tonics, the globe, rocking chairs, perfect weather and (you can’t see it in this shot) big pink puffy clouds at dusk on the porch.

The Porches Inn, in North Adams, MA – I can’t recommend this hotel enough. It’s 5 Victorian houses connected and remodeled with a long porch running along the front, and incredibly cozy and perhaps even somewhat decadent decor.

We stayed at The Porches Inn in North Adams, right across the street from Mass MoCA – this place is six renovated Victorian-era row houses that once provided housing for the city’s millworkers. Absolutely fantastic place – we really loved it. It was 50 degrees on Saturday night, but that didn’t keep Brian from the hot tub, while the sun started to set behind the hills in the distance – a perfect evening.

Brian and I got out of town for the weekend and visited some museums in the Berkshires. We went to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, then the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, then stayed the night at The Porches, then we went to Mass MoCA.
