Great Barrington features galleries, shops, world class and family-friendly restaurants, fun stops for kids, including: Tom's Toys, SoCo Ice Cream, Robin's candy store, Matrushka, Babalouies Pizza, and The Triplex Cinema.... among many other fun places. Great Barrington is wonderfully situated - just 15 minutes to Stockbridge, 10 minutes to Egremont, 5 minutes to Ski Butternut and 10 minutes to Ski Catamount. Great Barrington also has its own sandy beach-access Lake Mansfield Park for swimming, kayaking, picnicing and fishing. Ice fishing and skating in winter. Its so Rockwell-esgue!

Great Barrington neighborhoods are wonderful too... there is The Hill - a fabulous hilly area just west of the center of GB, with easy walk-to-town and to Lake Mansfield - the "Other Hill" on the east side also with walk-to-town locations and access to East rock for beautiful hiking! There is Housatonic, a sweet GB village just a bit north, and Alford - another village with green acres, and many other wonderful blocks, neighborhoods and areas to explore.
