Lee Bed and Breakfast Massachusetts Applegate Inn Local Attractions

Local Attraction

APPLEGATE is in the heart of the Berkshires located in the town of Lee. Lee has proudly retained its homey, small town appeal. An authentic soda fountain in the drugstore and the last remaining 5 & 10 cent store in the Berkshires add to the character and charm of this small New England town, whose Main Street is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

While APPLEGATE is half a mile from Lee's Main Street, both Stockbridge and Lenox are within 6 miles, each town having numerous boutiques, galleries, and fine restaurants. APPLEGATE is within minutes of the Norman Rockwell Museum, theatres, Tanglewood, and the numerous cultural activities the Berkshires are so famous for.

The Town of Lee is in the middle of everything that is happening in the Berkshires and there is certainly something for every person at every season. The Norman Rockwell Museum is a wonderful venue and hosts 3 million visitors each year. Or would you rather picnic at Tanglewood and listen to the Boston Symphony Orchestra or watch dance at Jacobs Pillow. There are numerous theaters and fine art and crafts experiences abound.

Of course there are wonderful outdoor things to do as well - hiking, boating, swimming, fishing, bicycling, golf, tennis, downhill and cross country skiing and snow shoeing. Shopping at boutiques, outlet stores and antique stores are also activities enjoyed by Applegate guests. Enjoy golf and tennis at the Greenock Country Club right across the road from Applegate. Return for a swim in our heated pool or continue into town to enjoy the town private beach on Laurel Lake. After an active day, relax and enjoy dinner at one of the fine Berkshire restaurants.
