It's a small but mighty and lovely shop that houses products from 15+ local member artists and 20+ local consignors. The artists take turns running the shop and are very proud of their co-op. If you're even so much as nearby Montague, you simply must stop here. It's really hard to describe such a place. Its jam-packed full of expertly curated paintings, photos, jewelry, scarves, knick-knacks, sculptures, cards and more. No two artists are the same. You can get lost for a very, very long time browsing the selections and getting to know the works of each artist. I mean, just look at my photos below. It is too much fun to turn the corner in the gallery and stumble across something new and colorful. I'm really regretting not purchasing a few wearable art pieces and a pen-and-ink art print of an owl. If you need a gift for someone (or you're like me, and every day is Treat Yo' Self day), Sawmill is a no-brainer of a stop. Not only are you getting an exceptional, handmade gift, but you're supporting local artists and keeping this interesting collaboration thriving. The prices range significantly, but everything here is affordable, and more importantly, uniquely interesting. Love, love, love!

Since we visited in mid-April, the cabins weren't open for the season, so we stayed in the Bear's Den--a cozy studio tucked beneath the main lodge. It was absolutely perfect, with stunning, unobstructed views of Mount Greylock and the valley that made the experience feel even more special. Perched at the top of Florida Mountain, the setting alone is worth the visit, but it's the care and attention behind the experience that truly sets this place apart. We left feeling completely recharged and already talking about when we can come back. If you're even considering staying here--do it. You won't regret it.
