Blantyre
Lenox, Mass.

Each winter a 100-foot Norway spruce, decorated with hundreds of lights, welcomes guests to this Tudor-style mansion in the Berkshire Hills 114 miles west of Boston.

Blantyre's lead-glass windows, overstuffed chairs and rich wood-paneled interiors create a cozy atmosphere in a setting that looks like it came from a Currier and Ives print. The holiday to-do list includes ice skating on two rinks, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. After a sleigh ride, enjoy chocolates from around the world, a cup of hot cocoa and homemade marshmallows.

Accommodations include eight guest rooms in the main house, four nearby cottages and a two-floor, 12-loft Carriage House.

After a day of holiday activities, relax in the resort's full-service spa.
