CHANGES  IN  OPERATIONS  FOR  2020

GUESTS RETURNING TO THE LODGE THIS SEASON WILL UNDOUBTABLY NOTICE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, NOT ONLY IN HOW THEY CAN MANUVER THROUGH THE BUILDING ITSELF, BUT HOW THEY INTERACT WITH OTHER GUESTS  AND STAFF.

GONE WILL BE THE WIDE WOODEN CUSHMAN TABLES THAT HAVE GRACED THE DINING ROOM SINCE THE LATE 1940'S; REPLACED BY SMALLER, CAFE TABLES FOR USE BY INDIVIDUAL PARTIES. SAFE DISTANCING WILL ALSO FORCE THE TEMPORARY SUSPENTION OF OUR MORE SOCIABLE GROUP DINING AT LUNCH AND DINNER FOR THE USUAL SINGLE PARTY TABLES SEEN AT MOST ESTABLISHMENTS.  

GOING FORWARD, WE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO ACCEPT A LIMITED NUMBER OF GUESTS FOR OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE GROUP BUNK BED ROOM WILL BE CLOSED TO INDIVIDUALS AND USED ONLY FOR SINGLE-PARTY USE.

ALL VISITORS TO THE LODGE WILL BE REQUIRED TO ABIDE BY THE STATE'S MANDATE OF WEARING A FACE MASK. THE LODGE'S PUBLIC RESTROOMS WILL NO LONGER BE USED BY MULTIPLE VISITORS SIMULTANEOUSLY. RATHER, THEY WILL BE FOR PRIVATE, SINGLE PERSON USE ONLY.

WE MAKE THESE CHANGES TO EASE ANY ANXIETY THAT GUESTS TO THE LODGE MAY BE FEELING IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES. HOPEFULLY THESE CHANGES WILL NOT LESSEN THE ENJOYMENT THAT OUR GUESTS DERIVE BY GATHERING AROUND THE FIREPLACE WITH A GOOD BOOK, A NIGHT CAP OR DINING TO A SPECTACULAR BERKSHIRE SUNSET.

BASCOM LODGE IS A RUSTIC ARTS AND CRAFTS MOUNTAIN LODGE BUILT IN THE 1930'S BY VOLUNTEERS FROM THE CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS. CONSTRUCTED OF LOCAL STONE AND OLD GROWTH RED SPRUCE TIMBERS, THE LODGE WAS DESIGNED IN AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE THAT WOULD LATER BECOME THE BLUEPRINT FOR AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARKS. NESTLED ON THE SUMMIT OF MT. GREYLOCK, THE STATE'S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, THE LODGE IS THE CENTERPIECE OF A 12,500 ACRE WILDERNESS PARK AND IN 2020 WILL CELEBRATE ITS 83rd SEASON OF OPERATION.

   LOCATED IN THE NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF MASSA-CHUSETTS, IN THE HEART OF BERKSHIRE COUNTY, A SHORT DRIVE FROM WILLIAMSTOWN TO THE NORTH AND PITTSFIELD, LENOX AND LEE TO THE SOUTH, THE LODGE IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE FROM BOTH BOSTON (MASS PIKE) AND NEW YORK CITY (THE TACONIC PARKWAY).

     ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HEARTY SOULS IN SEARCH OF ADVENTURE AND SPIRITUAL RENEWAL WITH A PLACE TO REST AND TAKE SHELTER FROM THE ELEMENTS, TODAY THE LODGE SERVES A MUCH MORE COMPLEX AND DIVERSE ARRAY OF PATRONS WHOSE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS GO BEYOND MERE ROOM AND BOARD. WHETHER THEY ARE HIKERS OR CYCLISTS OUT FOR THE DAY, LODGERS ATTENDING A MUSIC CONCERT OR SUMMER STOCK THEATER, SCHOOL CHILDREN ON A FIELD TRIP, OR "HOLIDAY MAKERS" VISITING THE BERKSHIRES FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE LODGE PROVIDES A CASUAL SETTING TO REFRESH THE SPIRIT AND NOURISH THE BODY.
