Where: Summit Road, Adams (access via Rockwell Road, Lanesborough) EAGLE FILE PHOTOĪDAMS - Atop Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts at 3,491 feet, the historic Bascom Lodge is getting ready to open the doors on its 85th season and welcome tourists, Appalachian Trail hikers - the storied thoroughfare traverses the summit - and visitors traveling from near and far to enjoy unspoiled nature, crisp mountain air and expansive views of four states. WE APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU SPENT LOOKING THIS OVER.Bascom Lodge open for its 85th season on Saturday, May 28. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN ON THE SUMMIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE HUMBLY ASK THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ENJOYED DINING AT THE LODGE, ATTENDING ONE OF OUR FREE PUBLIC PROGRAMS OR MUSIC PERFORMANCES, JOINED US AT THE JAZZ FESTIVAL, ENJOYED AN OVERNIGHT STAY, OR A DRINK ON THE PORCH AT SUNSET, TO HELP ENSURE THAT BASCOM LODGE SURVIVES ITS 83rd SEASON.ĪNYTHING YOU CAN DONATE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.ĪLL MONIES RAISED WILL BE USED TO COVER THE HALF-MILLION DOLLAR INSURANCE POLICY THAT THE STATE MANDATES ON THE LANDMARK BUILDING, INSURE THAT THERE ARE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO KEEP STAFF EMPLOYED SHOULD ANXIETY CAUSE VISITOR NUMBERS TO DROP, AND NEEDED PHYSICAL CHANGES TO THE LODGE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF BOTH OUR GUESTS AND EMPLOYEES. KNOWING THAT YOU, LIKE OURSELVES, AND NEARLY EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN SHELTERED-IN-PLACE FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS, WITHOUT WORK AND INCOME, WE DO THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT. WITH STATE AND LOCAL OFFICES REQUIRING LICENSE AND PERMIT FEES PAID WELL IN ADVANCE OF ANY TIMELINE FOR OPERATION, NOTICES FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT RENEWAL AND PREMIUMS ARE DUE, AND RESOURCES TO FINANCE THE RE-OPENING OF THE LODGE DWINDLING WITH EACH CANCELLATION, WE HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE LODGE CAN NOT REOPEN WITHOUT THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF OUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
WITH ALL OF THE WEDDINGS AND MOST OF THE PRIVATE EVENTS THAT WERE BOOKED FOR THE 2020 SEASON EITHER HAVING CANCELLED OR RE-SCHEDULED INTO FUTURE SEASONS, AND 75% OF ALL OUR LODGING RESERVATIONS FOR THE SEASON CANCELED, WE ARE NOW FACED WITH AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE. ON MARCH 15th, WHEN GOVERNOR CHARLIE BAKER INSTITUTED A BAN ON THE OPERATION OF ALL NON-ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES IN MASSACHUSETTS TO HELP STEM THE SPREAD OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS, NO ONE COULD HAVE IMAGINED THE EFFECT THAT ACTION WOULD HAVE ON LIFE AS WE KNEW IT.īASCOM LODGE NOW FINDS ITSELF IN THE PRECARIOUS POSITION OF BEING UNCERTAIN OF WHEN WE CAN OPEN, AND, WHEN THAT TIME COMES, WHAT THE FEW REMAINING MONTHS OF OUR SEASON WILL BE LIKE.
