The Topia Inn (the Aloha room!) provided us with a much needed, relaxing getaway. We only stayed two nights, but it was revitalizing and a fun experience. We would consider ourselves to be minimally green (we try to do the best we can, but it's a very devoted lifestyle), so it was interesting to see and take part in a completely green lifestyle. I give major Kudos to the innkeepers for their hard work and dedication to this lifestyle! We stayed in the Aloha room, and are now looking into purchasing a floating bed, because the bed itself promotes relaxation--you cannot possibly be angry, intense, or anything other than relaxed and happy in that bed, and why shouldn't you have a retreat in your own home? The food was made with a lot of love and care, and was very good. Organic ingredients and clean food always taste so much better than what we put into our bodies every other day of the week. This place was IMMACULATE! I'm a neat freak, I can't even get into a shower if there is so much as a hair on the wall. I scoured the bathroom and the bedroom and couldn't find anything that made me cringe, or even any signs that anyone else had ever even stayed there...it was so clean and well cared for. We went on this trip to spend time outdoors, we biked the 22 mile Ashuwilticook trail and did some hiking on the mountains. The Berkshires is more art and outdoors oriented than anything else, so don't expect a high thrills adventure. There's not a whole lot to do, but we had a lot of fun and we would definitely recommend the Topia Inn to our friends! The town itself (and the surrounding towns) are pretty run down, the inn itself is on a semi busy road in a somewhat run down borderline shady area, so it could get kinda loud at night when the windows were open, but nothing is perfect.
