Five College Area B&B Association

About Us

Home to the ''Five Colleges'' (Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, & Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst), this scenic region has long been referred to as the ''knowledge corridor.''

In addition to its academic reputation, this corridor is also known as the Pioneer Valley, and is an ideal travel destination for any type of fun recreation endeavor or entertainment experience that you can think of.

Our association offers numerous bed and breakfast opportunities in the Pioneer Valley and the surrounding ''Hilltown Region'' of Western Massachusetts. Our customers enjoy easy access to the Berkshires without the Berkshire lodging prices.

Chose from authentically restored Victorian inns to classic New England farm houses. The five college area is within easy driving distance of New York City, Hartford, Boston, Springfield and the Berkshires.
