The Little Lion - A redesigned 1960s roadside motel at Monument Mountain's foot with garden views

Located at the foot of Monument Mountain, this Great Barrington hotel features 16 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and iPod docking stations. The Little Lion's interior showcases a Scandinavian mid-century modern design mixed with 1970s patterns, complemented by retro-style fridges and built-in wall ironing boards. The open-plan reception area contains a sanded wood-plank picnic table, benches, and seating zones with purple flowered upholstery. A continental breakfast of homemade granola, local farm yogurt, fruit, boiled eggs, cake, and muffins is served daily. Outdoor spaces include garden furniture and white vinyl seating around a fire pit. The property sits 52.5 miles from Albany International Airport, with Monument Mountain trailhead just 0.3 miles away.
