Summary
We welcome guests to our two hundred year old Dutch Colonial farmhouse on a twenty-five acre working sheep and berry farm nestled in the hills of Western Massachusetts. Enjoy this Bed and Breakfast by reading by the parlor stove, putting your feet up on the fieldstone porch with the views of the fields, rolling hills and gardens. You can enjoy the hot tub in it's enclosed gazebo, or have tea by the kitchen stove. It's no wonder that this B and B has a long list of fans.
Twelve suggestions for how to spend a night, week-end, or a week at Cumworth Farm Bed and Breakfast.
Suggestion 1: Sit by the hearths and read a book.
Suggestion 2: Take a hike along the nearby paths in the woods, or hike down to Chesterfield Gorge.
Suggestion 3: Help Ed feed the sheep-or pick your own raspberries and blueberries in season.
Suggestion 4: Swim and picnic at one of the many nearby ponds or lakes.
Suggestion 5: Relax in the hot tub and watch the stars.
Suggestion 6: Enjoy Ed's wonderful pancake and sausage breakfasts-- with his own maple syrup made on the farm.
Suggestion 7: Drive into Northampton, only 30 minutes away, and enjoy its lively galleries and boutiques, and a plentiful offering of fine restaurants.
Suggestion 8: Explore the historic William Cullen Bryant Homestead just down the road, or visit historic Old Deerfield, only a half hour away.
Suggestion 9: Stop by a local crafts fair, attend a country auction, or visit your kids at camp.
Suggestion 10: Partake of the area's renowed music and theater offerings, from 15 to 45 minutes away. Music at Tanglewood, dance at Jacob's Pillow, Shakespeare at the Mount, Sunday piano concerts at the Sevenars, plays at the miniture Theater of Chester, Williams College Festival, and the Berkshire Theater Festival, chamber music at the Mohawk Trail concerts: these are just some of the superb artistic events near Cumworth Farm.
Suggestion 11: Spend an afternoon at the excellent college art museums at Smith, Amherst, and Williams Colleges, or a the nationally acclaimed Clark Art Museum at Williamstown.
Suggestion 12: Lie in a hammock and watch the birds. There are thousands of blueberry and raspberry bushes that produce plenty of fruit for jam and jelly. And the maple sugaring operation continues to use wood to boil sap that is collected from 4,000 taps.
