When we started wedding planning, my wife and I had a vision. As closely as possible, we wanted to…read morereplicate our family's lake house in New York. We knew we needed a place for 150 people and we knew we wanted it to be drivable for both family and friends in upstate New York and Boston.   We stumbled upon The Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires after months of searching, but the only wedding we had seen hosted there was inside the main cottage. Reluctantly, we decided it was probably too small for us.   Fast forward another month.  Randomly one night, my wife and I both separately pulled up the venue again and I said, "We need to just call them. Maybe they have some grass we can put a tent on." After a couple of email exchanges, Eric, the owner, and Cory, the grounds keeper, invited us out to see the space and were instantly sold. The beautiful grounds, the stunning cottages (or as we like to call them, "mini mansions"), THE VIEW.   Not only did they have four cottages on site where guests could stay, but they also had a field where they had placed a tent for previous weddings that could hold up to 150 guests. We soon found out that over the winter months they would be adding three additional cottages for guests to stay and a seasonal tent to be used for weddings throughout the summer and fall. Needless to say, we booked it.   A couple months into planning, LHGC added a wedding coordinator to their awesome team.  We connected with Kelsey instantly, discussing plans we had made and things we had coming down the line. She was always available if we had a question or concern. Come time to do our walk through before the wedding, we laid out the entire day with the help of Kelsey and our caterer.  We walked away knowing we had the dream team on board.   When our weekend approached, all the new additions were complete and the space was more beautiful than ever. We had our rehearsal brunch Friday morning and welcome party Friday night, both of which allowed for the caterers to take full advantage of the catering kitchen in the main cottage. Kelsey and Cory were completely accommodating and there from start to finish to help with anything we needed.   Our guests arrived sporadically from Friday morning through the evening and spent time playing lawn games, kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake, and enjoying each other's company.  It was so nice to have the entire grounds at our disposal.   On our wedding day, it was just the same. Everything went off seamlessly. Kelsey and Cory were both there if something came up, made sure that set up was perfect, ran the ceremony and reception smoothly and effortlessly.   Our wedding was perfect. It was everything we could have dreamed it to be and more.   Thank you, LHGC, for welcoming us to the family!  We look forward to spending many anniversaries with you on Pontoosuc Lake!

This was my first visit to Club Wyndham at Bentley Brook (my second stay as a Wyndham club member)…read more I was very excited to check out this property because I'd seen it last year on a trip to the Berkshires but wasn't yet a member. Check in was smooth and front desk staff very helpful and ready to answer questions. With a 4:00pm check in time on Sunday; we threw our stuff into the room and ventured out to find a place for dinner. Upon our return to the room, we were very pleased with the accommodations. Our master bedroom had a king bed, ample pillows and a nicely appointed 2 person Jacuzzi tub. The shower and toilet was separated by a door. The vanity was large and I would've appreciated a double sink; but we made due. The kitchen and dining, living room area was open floor plan and the couch was not comfortable but ultimately we weren't actually watching alot of TV. All the rooms had TVs with a good compliment of cable channels. Second bedroom had two full size beds that were more than suitable for my guests. Their bathroom was also acceptable. My only gripes were that the Quisinart coffee maker seriously took 30 minutes to brew coffee (it's quicker to go to the lobby and get their free coffee in the morning!), the oversized light above dining table should be on a dimmer switch (as I felt like I was being interrogated on Law&Order sitting under it) and the lightswitch in our room turned on both the ceiling fixture AND the vanity lights (too much light!) and the safety locks on the bedroom window were annoying because I could only open it 3 inches at night. I was also disappointed that the mountain coaster and Alpine slide (and other rides) at the neighboring Jiminy Peak were not in operation during the week (weekends only this time of year) but that has no bearing on Club Wyndham. We enjoyed the on site amenities; utilized the Sauna every morning during our stay, the Indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzis. I also want to commend one employee in particular; Aaron. We had sat outside the first night by the fire pit (to enjoy some cigars) and he stopped by to assist us in starting the fire. We conversed with him and he genuinely appreciated his job and the opportunity with Wyndham. He was a very generous young man and a gentle, kind soul. Made that part of our evening even more enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back to Bentley Brook again. (But next time I'll book a Thursday through Sunday) as it can be challenging finding lunch and dinner options Mon-Wed.

The cottages have a great view of the lake and they have their own private beach. Wonderful for kids and families. Lake Spofford is one of the cleanest lakes around and wonderful to swim and play in.

I think this is going to be year 8 for us at the cabins. The feeling "retreat" comes to mind when…read moreI think longingly about the cabins in Goshen. This year they are going to be rebuilding the dam at the end of the lake, so that should be worth exploring next year. Last year, we learned how to sail, which was a real treat. We were in the correct season to get to be able to pick fresh wild blueberries from our kayaks!! We made a great syrup with them, and had it over ice cream...yummmm. ====================================================== In response to the person that has trouble with stairs: I think all the cabins have some amount of stairs, the white one has the fewest (maybe one?). In order to get down to the lake, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE ANY STAIRS. My mother-in-law has bad hips, and she doesn't use the stairs. All you have to do is either go around the house to the right, or walk all the way to the left in front of the green cabin, and there are NO STAIRS. The lawn is very gradually sloped on both of those paths. You can even get to the lake by walking directly in front of their porch...without stairs. Look at picture number two (that I took years ago), there are NO STAIRS under the flag on the left OR near the small red tree on on the right. The stairs mentioned are directly in the center of the picture under the arch.

We swam, kayaked, grilled every night, played with our dog (yes, they are extremely dog friendly) and just relaxed by the lake and in our cozy cottage. It's close to so many great places to visit and enjoy (Northampton, the Berkshires, DAR State forest), yet far enough away to indulge in a little pastoral solitude. We can't wait to return!

Back when my fiance and I were searching for our perfect venue to host our wedding, we already knew…read morewe wanted a barn themed wedding. We went to visit a few locations, and searched many more online for days on weeks. It was when we stumbled upon this venue that we knew our search was over. Owls Hoot Barn checked off every box we wanted in a wedding venue. There were even factors we had not necessarily considered in a venue that OHB was and to deliver without fail. The grounds of venue - gorgeous, the owner and her entire family/team - most amazing people you can find, decor and supplies - everything we wanted and needed, overall experience - exactly what you would expect when you think of a small piece of paradise/heaven! And this also includes the fact that our beloved pups were allowed to be on the grounds and partake in our special day! The owner of the venue, who was also our wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to help us arrange everything we needed to make it wedding perfect. Even going as far to come back on site for our rehearsal dinner during her own wedding anniversary! How many people would be willing to do that? Her passion for ensuring every couple out there sees their vision fulfilled is truly one that is undeniable and unique. We could not have pulled this off, let alone reduce our wedding planning stress significantly, without her help. My now wife, our current (and future pups) and myself now have found a place we don't just refer to as a hidden gem, but a small place we can call another home. For any future couples out there, whether you are considered local or coming from another state of the U.S. entirely, you will fall in love with OHB. My wife probably would think I shouldn't leave too long of a review as some people might think "that one is too long to read" but I can't help express how much we truly were blessed with this place...so much that even to this day we joke about doing it all over again just to relive our wedding weekend back in October 2025. For any current/future couples out there searching for a wedding venue in Hudson Valley, NY...this place should absolutely be #1 on your list!
