There is so much to enjoy nearby, including candlelit dinner at the Old Inn on the Green, breakfast at the Southfield Store (also a great place for a quick coffee and picking up local provisions), and many hikes and nature spots. Not far from Southfield is Umpachene Falls–an excellent destination for hiking and swimming.
Steepletop is also close to both Sheffield and Great Barrington which have several grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, yoga, and more. You're also close to hiking and cultural institutions.

We strongly advise using or renting a car that has all wheel or 4 wheel drive to access the property, especially in the colder months.
