Dancing Bear Guest House Information
Description
The Dancing Bear is a five-minute walk to Shelburne Falls' many attractions including the world famous Bridge of Flowers, the Glacial Potholes, Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum, as well as fine cafés, restaurants, galleries, bookshops, and antique stores. Within a short drive are opportunities for skiing, hiking, rafting, kayaking, and fishing, as well as Historic Deerfield, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, the Clark Art Institute and the many shopping and cultural activities in Northampton, Amherst, Greenfield, Brattleboro, etc. Shelburne Falls lies on both sides of the Deerfield River where it tumbles over Salmon Falls. It is a village made up of parts of two towns--Buckland to the west and Shelburne to the east. Shelburne Falls has been famous since the 1920s for the Bridge of Flowers, but today it is also known an ideal get-away for travelers seeking rest and relaxation, stimulating outdoor adventure, art galleries, and fine dining.
Since opening the Dancing Bear Guesthouse in 2006, innkeepers, Philip Bragdon and Edith Bingham have welcomed guests from all over North America and around the world--including guests from Nigeria, Cameroon, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, China, Egypt, Nepal, Paraguay, Brazil, Colombia, Iceland, Finland, United Kingdom, Belgium, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, France, Germany, Israel, Azerbaijan, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Norway, Jordan, Ukraine, and the Dominican Republic. Philip and Edith enjoy sharing their experiences living and traveling in different parts of the world as well as their enthusiasm for Shelburne Falls and its beautiful surroundings. When they are not at the Dancing Bear, they can be found working on their farm just five miles away in Charlemont. Between the two of them, they speak Spanish, French, Russian, and some Portuguese, German, Swedish, and Italian. In addition to running the Dancing Bear Guest House, Philip teaches in the local schools and Edith is a commercial artist. Please visit her website at www.edithbingham.com. Together they recently published a fine-press book, "The Carpet Weaver", a tradition tale from Azerbaijan.
