Shelburne is in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, near the town of Greenfield, which is at the intersection of routes I-91 and 2. We're about a 2 hour drive from Boston, or about 3 hours from New York City.

From Greenfield Massachusetts, which is at the intersection of routes I-91 and 2: Go 8 miles west on Route 2 from Greenfield and take the turnoff to Shelburne Falls on the left. Follow this road into town and it becomes Bridge Street. Turn right onto Water Street just before the bridge. We are a few buildings down on the left, at #16, just beyond the Bridge of Flowers sign.

The nearest airport is Bradley International Airport, between Hartford CT and Springfield MA, a 1.25-hour drive away. Valley Transporter provides shuttle service to this area from Bradley.
