Welcome to the
Hill Gallery Website
The Hill Gallery Bed and Breakfast is located
on a mountain top in the Hampshire Hills of Cummington, MA
and has been in existence since 1982. It is one of the three
remaining charter B&B's of the original 20 member Hampshire
Hills B&B Association. There are currently 19 host homes
in the association.
The Hill Gallery B&B is an artist/owner
designed nine room, multi level, contemporary home(1976),
built and located to insure privacy. We are secluded yet easily
accessible from Routes 112, 143 and 9,
The grounds are terraced and well maintained
with 2 ponds and a Zen garden that offers rest and relaxation.

The Shared Areas
All guests are invited to use the living room
which contains a working floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace,
couches, wing back chairs and a sound system containing a
diverse selection of music.
Books, magazines, original paintings and graphics,
pottery and plants extend the ambience. There are hardwood
oak, cherry floors or wide board plank flooring with oriental
rugs through out the house.

The dining room is located at the opposite end of the fireplace
and guests enjoy a full American Breakfast seated around an oval
table in comfortable captain's chairs.
The 3 large unique Palladian mirrored windows were made from old
oak school doors and reflect the antiques and extensive decoy and
shore bird collections as well as the outdoors. The living/dining
room area has a cathedral ceiling with light wells that send light
from the Clerestory windows into both the southern and northern
parts of the house.
Your Host
Walter Korzec has been a painter and printmaker and an art college
professor for the past 30 years. He maintains a barn studio on the
property and in the upper floor of the carriage shed there is an
art and antiques gallery. For the most part, art works on display
have been produced by local artisans that have been acknowledged
in their field.
