Hotels in Shelburne Falls

Wander across the Bridge of Flowers, a former trolley bridge now bursting with seasonal blooms tended by devoted local gardeners. The Deerfield River's glacial potholes form an alien landscape where water has sculpted perfect circles in ancient stone. Duck into the Shelburne Falls Bowling Alley, where candlepin bowling (the weird New England variant) continues in a charmingly unchanged setting. Pottery enthusiasts find nirvana at Bald Mountain's studio. High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary rewards modest hiking effort with spectacular valley views. Salmon Falls offers perfect swimming holes - though locals might pretend they don't exist when tourists ask. This two-town village packs more authentic character into its tiny footprint than places ten times its size.
