Two entrepreneurs hope to kick-start a revival of the wooden lodges that played a key role in the invention of the great American road trip
On a hot July afternoon in the small town of North Adams, Massachusetts, I walk with two men past a motel pool, through the woods, and across a pedestrian drawbridge over the Hoosic River. It wobbles as we move. We walk down a dirt path, past a Philip Grausman sculpture of a head, and scramble up an embankment into a clearing. What we see is a cabin, sitting alone, surrounded by the rolling Berkshire Hills.
It’s in the northern tip of The Berkshires, Massachusetts’ far western region known for rolling hills, old money, and a hippie-meets-Puritan charm, home of Edith Wharton, Norman Rockwell, America’s famed outdoor music venue Tanglewood, and one of its longest-running wellness resorts, Canyon Ranch. Although the Southern Berkshires is more developed, North Adams is improving, thanks mostly to Mass MOCA, a contemporary art complex in an old print works, which turns 25 this year.
