Massachusetts offers a bounty of lodging options for leaf lovers looking to stay and play. Here are some Massachusetts fall foliage lodging ideas including hotels, inns and B&Bs that offer autumn getaway packages:

It's one of the finest inns in all of Massachusetts, and it peaks when the leaves do. If you want to leaf peep in style, consider this historic inn, which is worth the splurge during fall foliage season.

Brook Farm Inn

Located in Lenox in the heart of the Berkshires, Brook Farm Inn is a Victorian B&B where guests are treated to an English tea each afternoon. Ask about foliage season rates.

A Cambridge House B&B

Deerfield Inn

The Deerfield Inn is the perfect place to stay while you're exploring historic Old Deerfield.

The Kemble Inn

The Kemble Inn in Lenox, Massachusetts, lowers its rates a bit when leaf peeping season rolls around. Choose one of the 13 lovely suites: Each has distinctive features, such as a wood-burning fireplace or a two-person Jacuzzi tub. Foodies will love that the inn's chef, Ron Reda, was Bill Clinton's White House chef.

Located in Sudbury, Massachusetts, this historic inn has welcomed guests since 1716.

The Red Lion Inn

Many of Norman Rockwell's all-American images were inspired by his neighbors in Stockbridge. What a great spot to capture fall's glory with your own brush, camera, pen or eyes.
