Highs & Lows

  • High quality design that isn’t overly fussy, but simply thoughtful and refined

  • Less is more, here the attentiveness to details of what makes a stay balanced, and valued comes first

  • Incredible lake side sauna, complete with the fire pit available for private pre booked sessions

  • The farm to table food is excellent and plentiful, and the restaurant is warm and welcoming overlooking the lake

  • The owners clearly have great taste. The boutique shop is very well curated

  • Breakfast isn’t served everyday during the low season

  • Health & Wellness

    Fantastic, impeccably clean amenities. Multiple sauna’s, cold plunges, a heated outdoor pool all year round, yoga and local fresh seasonal menu. Not to mention so many activities on property, such as tennis, fishing and boating on the lake. It was frozen over so we ice skated instead. Hiking and skiing close by too. (pool, gym, spa, bikes, hikes, retreats…)

  • Food

    Super fresh and local, therefore full of flavor. Breakfast had all the classics and burger night was excellent.

  • Bar, Events & Nightlife

    The restaurant and bar feels social and lively, there are multiple fire pits around the property where one can enjoy s’mores and chitchat’s with hot cocoa or hot toddy’s.

  • Minibar & Retail

    Good quality teas and coffee. You can also arrange for a stocked mini bar upon request.

  • Accessibility

    They do have ADA rooms. However much of the property is nestled into the gentle hilly landscape, with rough paths leading to the cabins and lake.

  • Pet Friendly

    Dogs (for an extra fee of $100 per night), no cats...

  • Children

    Yes, the Knoll cabins have a great, well-designed pull out bed to share cabins with children.

Tucked away, this is a hidden well appointed gem in the beautiful Berkshires. Set on a quiet private lake which is meant to be taken advantage of, yet close to a fun historical town of Great Barrington, and surrounded by ski mountains and art centers.
