Not only does the countryside provide endless opportunities for beautiful pictures, but you’ll find historic districts like the Public Square in Greenfield!

We search for all sorts of lodging destinations and on the top of our list, when it comes to our favorite types, are the places that’re just steps away from wonderful business districts and Main Streets.
