Bucksteep Manor is located in a cleft of Washington Mountain on 400 acres of property. We are fortunate to have fields and meadows, established gardens, and wooded hiking trails as part of our well-maintained grounds. Our location affords a breathtaking change of seasons and activities for each. Throughout the seasons, Bucksteep Manor guests experience the joys of nature with many glimpses of birds, raccoons, and the occasional black bear or moose.

Summer guests spend much of their time at Bucksteep Manor out-of-doors. Guests are welcome to use the pool, volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, and take hikes in the woods. Feel free to bring your own equipment, as ours is shared by children and adults. We play a variety of lawn games, including badminton, horseshoes, croquet, Frisbee, and wiffle ball. Sing-along’s and s’mores around the campfire are favored activities for young and old alike. The porches are relaxing spots to catch up with friends or enjoy the scenery. Guests are welcome to eat meals in the dining room, Tavern or outdoors.

Our guests enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling in winter. Families build snowmen in the central quadrangle and horse-drawn hay wagon rides are great fun. A roaring fire in the fieldstone fireplace of the Manor House lobby sets the mood for evenings of board games and cards. The Tavern is open during group functions and maintains a fully stocked bar with some local beers and spirits, as well. The homey atmosphere at the Manor House makes for some cozy winter memories.

Bucksteep Manor is centrally located in the beautiful Berkshires. Most local attractions, such as the Appalachian Trail, Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow Dance Festival, October Mountain State Forest and Jiminy Peak, are within minutes or a half hour from our doors. Our Innkeeper is available to assist with your plans to enjoy all that the Berkshires have to offer. We will point you in the right direction.

Of course there are loads of other activities within an easy drive from here. Enjoy all that the Berkshires has to offer. A great resource for other activities is the Berkshire Visitors Bureau.
