3 Airbnbs Near Massachusetts’ Most Epic Waterfall

Are you planning to chase some waterfalls during your next Massachusetts roadtrip? If this adventure is not already on your outdoor bucket list, you may want to work it into your plans ASAP, for there is nothing like the rewarding sight of a breathtaking cascade. While all of the state’s falls are worth viewing, I highly recommend taking a trip to the Berkshires to view Bash Bish Falls, the tallest waterfall in Massachusetts. And if you are searching for some great accommodations near the falls, these three phenomenal rentals should be at the top of your list.

The Most Epic Waterfall Trails in Massachusetts

Bash Bish Falls is a majestic waterfall located within the Bash Bish Falls State Park in the town of Mount Washington. The falls are tucked into the southwestern corner of the state, making them also easily accessible from New York and Connecticut. Bash Bish Falls is a single-drop fall featuring a split and a 200-foot drop. It is not only the state's tallest waterfall, but also one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the region.     

This stunning cascade can be viewed from two of the most scenic waterfall hikes in Massachusetts. The first is the Bash Bish Falls from the Taconic State Park Trail, a 1.5-mile easy out-and-back that takes less than an hour to complete. Or for a longer, more challenging hike, the Bash Bish Falls Trail (a moderate 2.2-mile out-and-back hike) is also a great option.

The Best Airbnbs Near These Hikes

1. Lakeshore Cabin - Stockbridge, Massachusetts

To experience the ultimate waterfall getaway, you will want to book a stay at the Lakeshore Cabin in the town of Stockbridge. The top-rated Airbnb is located approximately 24 miles from Bash Bish Falls State Park and only 20 miles from Umpachene Falls, a multi-tiered cascade in the town of New Marlborough, Massachusetts. What makes this home extra special is that it literally has a waterfall right next door. Yes, that’s right, you can actually be lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of a cascading fall. The three-bedroom, two-bath cabin also features a peaceful beach and a dock. When you aren’t chasing falls, you can spend your time swimming, kayaking, or relaxing in the home's comfy hammock.  

2. Berkshire Bungalow - Egremont, Massachusetts

If you are looking to stay even closer to the park, the Berkshire Bungalow Airbnb might be the ideal spot for your Massachusetts waterfall trip. Located in Egremont, less than ten miles from Bash Bish Falls State Park, this woodsy three-bedroom bungalow sleeps up to seven guests. This modern farmhouse features many unique amenities, including a babbling brook (where you can swim), a private bridge, and a large yard. 

3. Evergreen Home - Great Barrington, Massachusetts

For a rental full of cozy extras, I highly recommend the amazing Evergreen Home in Great Barrington. With a double-sided wood-burning fireplace, steamy sauna, and brand-new hot tub, this three-bedroom/three-bath home is the perfect place to relax after a full day of outdoor activities. The Evergreen Home also features a playroom and lots of other fun things for the kids to enjoy. Great Barrington is located roughly twelve miles from Bash Bish Falls and is also near Ski Butternut and Tanglewood.
