We thought we would survive two nights in a single Lodge 'family' room - double bed up one end, and bunk bed down the other. The truth is, it was a lovely room, in a facility completely unsuited to our family. Think 'continental breakfast' of muffins and tea, served at 8am, and a fixed price, fixed menu dinner served at 7pm. Also think wooden structure, with no soundproofing and creaking floors. However, we went for two bush walks, both to view points of the lovely (90% green) forest. We also saw a two beautiful sunrises, and a sunset that will remain forever in everyone's memory, because the baby chose that moment to need to use a potty.
The tower is a war memorial, with a light, sort of like a lighthouse, unfortunately shut until 2017 for repairs. Otherwise, the sunrises and sunsets could have been very dramatic, 30 ft up the top of the tower.
It was lovely to have such huge horizons, and the kids have been remarkably cheerful about all the walking. Thanks to the internet we had two interesting meals out and off the mountain, and I think if we trusted our kids more in art galleries, North Adams, which looks like a failed industrial town on first glance would have been a good place to stop more in, as it also seemed to have a huge art scene.
