The Little Lion Summer Pop-Up

This summer, the Briarcliff Motel transforms into The Little Lion, a pop-up inn, and the groovy little sister to the beloved Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge. The Little Lion nods to the classic vibe of The Red Lion but with a modern, fun twist. Just three miles from The Red Lion, it’s the ultimate summer hotspot—a hub for activities like fly fishing, hiking, outdoor movie nights, and storytelling around the campfire. Guests can also enjoy at The Red Lion Inn access to the pool, hot tub, fitness center, live music, shops, and more.
