On the Mohawk Trail, ascend to the top of Mt. Greylock. The Berkshires offer mountain goodness with some modern art at MASS MoCA in North Adams. Be sure to check out a Berkshires ski condo before you book your next winter getaway!

Central Massachusetts has land of rolling hills and apple trees, alongside the second largest city of Worcester. Old Sturbridge Village captures the essence of life in New England in the 1830s, and shows it through living history. The industrial aspects of 20 different communities are maintained through the Blackstone River Valley Heritage Corridor. For shoppers sensitive to fashion, Worcester Common Outlets is an excellent way to keep up with the latest styles.

If you book a Boston rental, Ride the ìTî and cross the Charles River into Cambridge. Boston is an immensely active city with an event-laden history. Go back to the American Revolution and visit Paul Revereís House, the Old South Meeting House Museum to stand where the Boston Tea Party colonists stood, and take the Freedom Trail to see much more. The New England Aquarium will excite you to take a harbor cruise. Enjoy first-rate music and art. In Cambridge, stroll into the Harvard Square area to taste the cafes, shops, and nightclub atmosphere. Dive into the over 30 bookstores for a rare find. The Longfellow National Historic Site, serving both George Washington and Henry Longfellow, is worth touring. A Boston, Massachusetts home rental is unsurprisingly, a hot commodity, so it's good to inquire now -- rather than later.

North of Boston, lies 30 miles of bumpy coastline with sand beaches and fascinating areas. Salem is the area of the witch trials of the 17th century, while Gloucesterís fame comes from its fishing port and the abundance of seafood restaurants. Marblehead has a reputation as a premier sailing center and the location of 18th and 19th century homes of workers in Old Town. If your quest is for antiques, look no further than Essex, and youíll be in the location where the fried clam was ìinvented.î The Greater Merrimack Valley is famous for Walden Pond, and Concordís own Louisa May Alcott home, among others.

Bristol & Plymouth Counties have grand histories. In Bristol County, New Bedford has a historic district remembering the peak of the whaling industry, and you can see the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Fall River made its mark as a textile-manufacturing leader, and is now home to discount outlets housed in the same buildings. Plymouth Rock is a highlight of Plymouth County, as is Plimoth Plantation, reviving the 1627 community via living history. Another must-see is the Mayflower II reproduction.
