As we enter the middle of summer and temperatures and humidity peak, it’s time to get out of dodge and take a vacation.  Here are three great summer spots to relax and recharge the batteries.

50 Acres surrounded by another 375.  That is the kind of privacy you need. Treat yourself like an ambassador and spend the rest of the summer in this Berkshire foothills estate that dates back to the 1830’s.

Located a stone’s throw from Mt. Wachusett, this one can double as your winter vacation home too. Totally renovated, barns, garages, all you have to do is relax and enjoy.

Local bias be damned! This is the place to be. A waterfront compound with a private beach on the far away island.
