There are several other rustic-style bed & breakfasts in the area that we’d recommend: Sheffield Lodge ($$), Wilder House ($$), The Egremont Village Inn ($$$), The White Hart ($$$), 9|Academy Suites ($$$), Iron Masters Inn ($$), Little Cat Lodge ($$$), Interlaken ($$$). 

Great Barrington (20’ away) has a lot of great options, including the nearby and affordable Quality Inn ($), The Wainwright Inn Bed & Breakfast ($$), The Barrington ($$$), plenty of AIRBNBs, and other hotels and motels.

While we are continuing scouting for a suitable new Summer location for the festival (the two main criteria are parking and ✨magic✨), Race Brook Lodge invited us to offer a scaled-down version this November in their own magical compound. We’ve always wanted to try something like this anyway — an intimate weekend hang with some of our favorite musical creators of the moment.

Even if it were, the temperatures aren’t really suitable for camping in the second half of November. We recommend driving in for the day or finding accommodations nearby.

Not exactly. The Race Brook compound offers the opportunity to explore a hybrid experience. There will be two indoor stages — one in the Barnspace and the other in the 150 year old lodgehouse on the property. It is less than a five minute walk outside between the buildings, and we’ll have fire pits and bonfires to gather round on your way, as well as an outdoor bar. If the weather is copasetic, we’ll move a few of the sets outdoors — and Garth Stevenson (the creator of 2021’s sound installation by the river) is back again this year with his highly acclaimed music meditation hikes on Saturday and Sunday. 

Yes — there is a large field adjacent to Race Brook Lodge to accommodate parking all weekend.

Race Brook Lodge is equipped will have at least two bars operating, as well as exquisite dinners in its Stagecoach Tavern. They’re also planning to have other food options available throughout the weekend.

There are hiking trails on-site that take you up Mount Race, along its brook, and up to a waterfall. Great Barrington is close by, as well as other Berkshires attractions.
