    I'm shocked that I have not yet written a review as I spent quite a few lovely days & evenings here since I learned of it's beauty over the summer. !0 stars for the setting : the view of the exquisite Pontoosuc Lake, wide & lush, for the very caring service & the entire set up including plenty of parking & wide spaces inside, outside & lakeside. Drinks are fabulous, they had an extensive summer menu that included 2 full pages of BMD The food ? a bit of another story. Decent enough, often very good, sometimes disappointing. Order something that you know will be ok even if it is not the best version or exactly as expected. You are here for the warm setting & view, drinks. The food is an added benefit. Great is the Ahi Tuna, nice & rare with seaweed salad, pickled ginger & some drizzle to swipe. Mussels = good. Entrees such as the Pork chop on Spätzle & the Flat iron Steak served over a mound of delicious masked potatoes (no mention of them in the description, but they were great). Some of the sandwiches are ok, the burger. Not recommended is the Cesar Salad, really poor dressed with Kens dressing for something like 12 dollars. Fried Calamari. Out of the bag frozen rings, is unfortunate. The Nachos sound exciting but arrive as an unappealing heap. Keep it simple, when you return you can branch out a bit. It is my favorite venue in the Berkshires, just being able to sit on a huge patio with this view is amazing. Moon rise is beautiful right over the homes & trees in the distance, watching the jet ski's & pontoon boats in the summer. Nothing like it. Reservations in season a must. Great place to have a wedding too..

    I had brunch at the proprietary lodge. The food was okay but the ambiance was amazing. Looking over the lake was peaceful. The service was great. Overall had a good time.

    Nearly sliced my forearm on this.

    We stopped in for an after-work drink, which we hoped to enjoy on the terrace which was ninety-percent unoccupied at the time, (4:00 p.m.) However, once we informed the hostess of our intention to simply enjoy a cocktail or two, we were basically informed that having just a drink apparently didn't qualify to sit with the guests on the patio. Instead, we (and our drinks) were banished like Cinderella to the "lawn area" where we had our choice of occupying either three broken, dirty, spider-infested wooden chairs (one with a cracked armrest and screw sticking out) or a jacked-up metal lawn seat sporting filthy, moldy-scented cushions (one of which was missing), adorned with aged spider webs which was tossed out onto a patch of bumble bee-filled grass. We could clearly see that more than enough available seating on the patio, but since we weren't shelling out the minimum expected, we were seated like we were the help instead of paying patrons. Tacky, unrefined, and low brow. Plus, the place smells moldy, just sayin'! Won't be returning any time soon.

    I had lunch at Proprietor's Lodge Memorial Day weekend. What beautiful place and it has a wonderful veranda overlooking the lake with the Berkshire mountains in the background. Service was excellent and our server was very attentive. Lunch was serviced warm and our food was excellent. My girlfriend ordered a glass of wine at the end of meal and we walked down to the shore and sat in Adirondack chairs provided by the lodge, taking in the view and warmth of the sun. I will be back and this is a wonderful restaurant with a 11 out of ten view. I highly recommend!

Anything you need he can accommodate. He brought the grill in front of our house so we can have bbq. I love the lake access n all the things you need for water sport.

    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!

    Reviewing BHCC for their function hall/wedding accommodations. We recently got married here (on…read more9/15). From start to finish, throughout the planning process, I have to say that everything here went perfectly. Lori, their function coordinator/event planner/savior, is a godsend. She is so accommodating, flexible, patient, and organized, I couldn't have dreamed of working with anyone better. She knew what questions to ask, just anticipated our every need. We only had to meet with Lori once, in order to finalize all the little details. She is a true professional, and I can't even imagine how things would have turned out without her. The space itself is also beautiful. Having grown up in Pittsfield, I tend to take for granted the hills, foliage, and overall beauty of the area. The building itself is new (within a few years), with super high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a great deck off the back, overlooking the golf course and mountains. I think the food was good, I barely had time to eat, as we were making table visits for much of dinner. Friends and family told us it was all good though. There was never a long line at the bar, and the staff working the wedding were always around if anyone needed anything. I would highly recommend BHCC to anyone planning a wedding out in Western MA. While not the most luxurious place in the area, what you get for your money just can't be beat. They do tend to book well in advance, so take that into consideration when deciding.

    We recent held a family event at the facility. I would recommend this venue for any occasion. The…read morefood was excellent. It was hot. The taste was very good. The presentation was well done. The service staff was attentive and helpful. We felt the prices were very fair. We found working with Henry to book and work out the details of our event to be very easy. The beautiful views can't be beat. The mountains and golf course are relaxing.

A docent by the entrance is there to tell you about it's construction and answer questions. We headed to the annex to see the animals: baby goats, lambs, piglets and chicks! The Discovery Barn is the place to be for the kids. They have a 'cow' mock-up that you can 'milk'. There are plenty of arts and craft projects there and a staff member to answer any questions. Although not a kid, I did give the cow a try and the staff member answered a bunch of questions about the museum and the local area. The Brick Dwelling has *so much* information! you could spend a lot of time in there reading about the lives of the Quakers. They also have a broom making shop, butter making shop, furniture shop, blacksmith, dorms for non-Quaker workers and so much more. We were given a map of the property with our admission and a list of events happening on site during the day of our visit. Definitely make a plan to see the demonstrations. A very interesting day.
