What kind of stop it is
Best described as a practical anchor, eastern Berkshire base, or useful overnight stop.
Time-to-spend guidance
Most travelers should give Lee real stop weight or use it as the overnight base for the next Berkshire stretch.
What it pairs with
Lee pairs most naturally with Lenox as the leisure companion town and with Becket when you want the route to keep reading east town by town.
Practical notes
Lee helps Massachusetts feel like more than one Berkshire stop set. It is the cleanest next practical anchor for keeping the Route 20 side coherent without broadening too far too fast.
