WELCOME TO
THE MASON HILL RETREAT AND
HIKERS HOSTEL

The Mason Hill Retreat and Hikers Hostel is located in north Berkshire County in the town of Cheshire, and annually draws visitors and guests from throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Long known for its authentic old Berkshire setting and its proximity to the Appalachian Trail, Mason Hill is a favorite spot for people with a love of Berkshire rural life and the outdoors.

Its boundaries encompass 10 acres of rolling fields and woodland, and historic Kitchen Brook Gorge, through which the brook flows on its way from Mt. Greylock to Cheshire Lake.

Here guests hold out-of-the-ordinary meetings or retreats utilizing the large conference room in the fully renovated Mason family barn, which includes modern kitchen and full bathroom facilities.

A large bunk room in the barn offers Appalachian Trail or day hikers comfortable overnight accommodations, including a fully stocked library and bath and laundry facilities. As an alternative to the bunk room hikers may prefer to stay the night in a cabin or tent site.

Bikers on the Ashuwilticook Bike Trail also find Mason Hill a refreshing and low-key "bike inn".
