    Sunrise from our mountain retreat
    Jenna D.

    Stayed from a few days after Christmas until a few days after New Year's Eve. We rented a house on the mountain from Mountainside. The accommodations were perfect for our family of nine. Walking through the resort was enjoyable. It can be done on the roads or on trails. There are not many trails; however, the roads were not busy and people drive slowly We had massages which were wonderful. The masseuse did a great job and the cost was good. Big recommendation for Evelyne. We did not get down to the restaurant but will try and eat there next time. We ate in our rental for every meal. (The food Lion in town was more than adequate for provisions.) One downside- pool was "out of order". It is a nice pool and would have been nice to enjoy before massages.

    This is the restaurant inside the Coolfont Resort. Recently reopened in 2019. I didn't grab any photos of dinner with the exception of the huge pretzel. Menu pricing was on the higher end but portions were huge. Smash burger, shrimp, and the Calamari were all excellent. Calamari said "fresh" on the menu and I looked at my wife and rolled my eyes. I was pleasantly surprised as they were some of the tenderest ones I've had in quite awhile. Breakfast was awesome. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and the pancakes were amazing. I don't have them often. They were super fluffy and had the right amount of vanilla.

    I had looked over the online menu prior to making the hours drive. Osso Bucco was on the list of entrees so I decided to go simply for that. Arrived to find a nice clean restaurant with a decent view of a quaint lake. Restaurant is decorated in a rustic woodsy theme. They were offering a specialty Margarita for $12.00. I asked how many ounces it was which the waitress couldn't answer. I had her bring me the glass that they served it in before I placed an order for one. GLAD I DID! No Margarita glasses available but instead was being served in a 12 ounce draft beer glass. Ordered an appetizer of calamari which was described as a five star preparation. OMG I could only eat one piece. The absolute worst I have ever had so I sent it back. This was frozen rings over battered, and over deep fried. (STRIKE ONE) Next I ordered what I had driven an hour for, the Osso Bucco. SORRY, I SOLD THE ONLY ONE WE HAD LAST NIGHT! (STRIKE TWO) So I was forced to try something else. I thought the Marinated Pork Ribeye looked good as described. 8 oz grilled pork ribeye on a bed of Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes, caramelized onions, and Demi Sauce. Served with vegetable du jour. (STRIKE THREE). The Yukon Gold Potatoes were very poor tasting very white instant potatoes of some sort. The onions were simple sautéed no where near being caramelized. No Demi Glaze Sauce at all. The vegetable was asparagus and again the worst I have ever eaten. Hard and crunchy and nearly unable to cut. I ate two pieces before I decided it wasn't worth getting sick over. No bread was served until I asked for it. My wife had The entrée of chicken cordon bleu. Again a frozen product prepared by someone who didn't know what they were doing. She took two bites and could stomach anymore. On the other hand, the salads were nothing special but acceptable and the ice tea had a good flavor. The waitress was exceptional, she heard my complaints and visually inspected the food concurring with my dissatisfaction. A trip for $70.00 in the restaurant. I have read good reviews but my experience was dreadful! I cannot recommend that anyone try it but only to avoid it.

    What's left of the Calamari!

    The Coolfont Resort harkens back to an age of motor coach vacations to escape the pollution of city life, a place to rest and relax in the Mountains of WV. Vestiges of this bygone era still remain and Coolfont is an example of how they are beginning to transform themselves to meet the needs of the present day. The investment continues. Within Coolfont is the Treetops restaurant. A bight and open eatery that is a cross between a sports bar (TVs and bar) and a family dining room. The food is good including the Berkeley Springs Food Week specials (Jan) and a wide variety of other menu items and a great list of beers on tap. We had the fish and chips, meatloaf dinner and pasta and shrimp dinners. The calamari was fresh and enjoyable. Service was good with a nice local charm.

    This is a gem in the making. Tucked away on the mountainside near Berkeley springs, this quaint lodge is secluded and convenient. We have a two room accessible suite that is scrupulously clean, laminate floors making moving with a walker safe and easy, the step in shower is spacious and the shower chair thoughtful. The room is austere and roomy, perfect when navigating with a walker or wheelchair. The road to the venue reminded me of home (the hills of Pittsburgh) hilly with a mama deer and her babies! The lake is right down the hill, surrounded by trees this is a lovely spot. I had breakfast at the restaurant overlooking the lake, a HUGE plate of pancakes, with sausage and potatoes, delish! Service was great, the view is terrific and the menu prices are reasonable. Coffee is available in the lobby 24/7, it's a very nice light roast, perfect for sipping in the morning and watching the forest come to life.

    Good food, and 20+ beers on tap! Friendly staff. We both had burgers which were excellent. Plenty of space to spread out. Beautiful views.

It filled up fast, and there was a lively bar crowd, and also an engagement party celebration upstairs. All of the servers were so friendly, and happy to share their favorite dishes and beers, etc. We started with the wings, which were great, and then we had the house salad with salmon and the burger and fries. OK, I did not order the burger and fries, but my boyfriend did, and I ate half the fries on his plate, they were that good! Great, friendly, with generous pours for wine, and just a really friendly, great place with perfect food for a winter day. I wish I could find a place like this in Washington, DC.

The server was great very attentive and patient as we ask lots of questions about the menu. They have a new burger item every week so we all tried that it was a Smashburger with crab on top pretty good and very big. They had an option to upgrade the truffle fries which we did and the fries were great. Would definitely come back if I was ever in town again to try something new.

Thats how 7 friends and I felt when we were planning our weekend trip to Berkeley Springs (well, maybe we weren't that dramatic). I can't speak for all of the properties, but SLEEPY RIDGE HIDEAWAY was a dream come true! A small full kitchen with bedrooms to sleep 8 people and two bathrooms. Inside we had a wood burning stove which was great on a cool rainy evening. Outside there was a screened in porch and a back deck. There was a fire pit where which we made use of regularly! A game room with air hockey and shuffleboard. But the best part....a hot tub!!! And yes we fit 8 people in there! This cabin also had a nice trail down a hill to the creek below which was very serene and was a 10 minute drive to good hiking trails. If you need to get away...check out berkely springs and all the cabins they have to offer....ours was about $45 per person for the weekend!

We ordered nachos and a pretzel for apps. Both were great! The nachos looked standard, but the cheese on them made it fantastic. The pretzel was also so good we had to order a second. Our actual food was also good. My Mediterranean bowl was just ok, but everyone else liked their meals. I would definitely go back.

There was a good selection of breakfast and lunch/dinner items and a wide array of desserts. Since walkways are pretty tight inside the restaurant, it was cramped and I felt like it was in a constant struggle not to get in other people's way. The gentleman carving at the ham station was very kind, and our waitress was helpful. I have no complaints with the service. The issue I had was that the restaurant sat guests in an second-floor event space. That wouldn't be an issue if you didn't have to walk up and down a few flights of stairs with your food. Yes, there was an elevator, but like I said earlier, the number of people made you feel like you were in the way while waiting for it to descend. I thought it was odd that people were seated so far away from the buffet and other guests in the restaurant, especially for the elderly guests. It was raining pretty hard that day, so I'm sure Brewer Alley's plans of seating guests outside was ruined, and that's certainly not their fault. I don't know if I'll return, but I appreciated the service and enjoyed the food.
