Bearskin Neck Motor Lodge

Top choice in Massachusetts


The only lodging on Bearskin Neck is this seaside motel near the end of the strip. Needless to say, every room has a great view and a balcony from which you can enjoy it. The rooms are quite spiffy, with traditional wooden furniture, striking light fixtures and intriguing sea-glass artwork on the walls.
