A weekend away at an all-inclusive resort is something a lot of us might look forward to any time of the year but especially during the summer travel season. As part of our Summertime on 9 series, our Ryan Burgess takes us on a tour of one local resort getaway that's anything but your typical weekend away.

Nestled among the trees on the banks of Lake George is a hidden gem. The Wiawaka Holiday House is a retreat for women and has been since the early 1900s.

For over a century, people from all over the world have been coming to a resort in Lenox that's known for its history, amenities, and attention to detail.

Seventy-five years ago, a dancer named Ted Shawn brought a group of young male dancers to his retreat in Berkshire County.

A cavernous space is known as building four. It's part of a 28 building campus that was once the sprawling Sprague Electric Company in North Adams, Massachusetts.
