The old barn dates back to the 1700s and is the perfect setting for a rustic country wedding. We stayed through Harvest Hosts, but they also rent cabins, a farmhouse, RV spots, and a glamping barn. The property also has a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, and a creekside swimming hole--such a relaxing and memorable stay!

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!

BEWARE of this Hotel and its unprofessional, and downright cruel GENERAL MANAGER - LAURA RUMMEL!!!!…read more We had a terrible encounter here at this Hampton Inn with Laura Rummel, General Manager. I would steer clear of this hotel and go elsewhere if you are able to as she is unprofessional, rude and condescending. I have been a loyal Hampton Inn customer for decades and a DIAMOND HILTON member, and have never in my life had a negative interaction with any hotel personnel, particularly a General Manager! This is my first complaint, but I felt it was quite necessary to help others to avoid this abuse. My 5 year old daughter attempted to get a paper cup off of the counter during breakfast, and was scolded by Ms. Rummel and told no that she could not get a cup. My daughter came back crying hysterically. I approached Ms. Rummel and asked what she had said to my daughter since she was crying, and was told that she told her NO bc she was "messing up her teas." I looked over and saw 2 tea bags that were somewhat out of place. I asked my daughter to clarify what had happened, and she stated that she was trying to get the cup and the teas got caught on her sweater, so she was placing them back. I went back to discuss this misunderstanding with Ms. Rummel, who was adamant that my daughter was out to mess up the coveted teabags here. So, I asked her name and explained to her that I thought she was unkind for making my daughter cry, and that it was odd that she did not feel badly or even attempt to apologize for making a child cry. **She blatantly told me that SHE WAS NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE, and that my daughter should not be messing up her teabags and that she should not have been unaccompanied (mind you - 6 ft from where we were eating breakfast in a clear vantage point of me). I informed her I would be making a complaint with Hampton and she told me she "DID NOT CARE, BECAUSE AS THE GENERAL MANAGER - ALL COMPLAINTS COME TO HER ANYWAYS." After I told her I would be calling corporate, she continued to double down on this statement multiple times that it didn't matter, since the complaints come to her.** So, BEWARE if you choose this hotel that clearly Ms. Rummel is an unhinged individual with a power complex, and will not care about your well-being, and, in fact, overtly try to to make you feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Save yourself some frustration and mental anguish and stay at another Hilton property, or at least until Ms. Rummel has been replaced.

We used the Hampton Inn & Suites Berkshires-Lenox as the base for our visit to the Berkshires. As a…read moreformer Diamond and now a Gold member of the Hilton Honors program, I have a certain amount of loyalty to the ever-expanding Hilton brands and have probably stayed in around 100 Hampton Inns over the years. This one is a mediocre example of these trusty motels. It's neither terrible or great. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable and everything works. But the room decor and design is dated and seems to have been been designed and decorated by someone without much architectural or interior design training. Frankly, the room was sort of ugly and a little depressing. The staff was okay, not particularly good or bad. The breakfast ladies were nice, though. However, the complimentary breakfast was somewhat below average for a Hampton, especially since the waffle makers were out of order and the selection of hot food (sausages, bacon, eggs, etc.) and other items was limited. Also, the location of this Hampton was a little odd, up a short drive from the main road and not visible from the highway. Due to all this, I would definitely take a look at the Courtyard by Marriott that is a couple of miles away. The prices (around $200 including taxes) are about the same, and while I didn't actually go into the Courtyard property, it sure looked more appealing than this older Hampton.

Stayed for one night. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean, bright, modern…read more Plenty of lights, which is so often an issue in motels. (We tend to do crosswords in bed) Bed was very comfy. Shower had plenty of pressure and temperature stayed constant, which is always nice. And although we were in a room facing Route 20, there was no issue with noise. If I could take off half a star I would, because the breakfast was just adequate. There was plenty there, but nothing was particularly tasty. On the other hand, I would add a half star for being walking distance from the International House of Tacos, our new favorite Berkshire eatery. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Please save yourself the headache of booking at this hotel. I booked a stay here through a third…read moreparty website and received multiple confirmations about my reservation, only to find that they had overbooked and I didn't have a room when I arrived. Upon sharing this news with me, the person at the front desk told me "it's okay to use the bathroom if you need to before you leave" as I was trying to get my bearings and think about what to do next. Many hotels in the area were completely booked due to a concert at Tanglewood so my options were very limited (and expensive) given it was so last minute. There was another party checking in right behind me who had the same problem and were also sent away. The manager was on-site (came to help someone ahead of me check in) but was nowhere to be found when the stressful news was delivered to either party; I felt so badly for the person at the front desk, who was clearly upset that she was managing this on their own. I called several times to try to speak to the manager, and they either didn't answer the phone (it rang a bunch of times before disconnecting) or I was told that they would call me back, which no one did. I've never experienced this kind of unprofessionalism or disregard for customer service as this hotel has demonstrated. Please don't risk not having a place to stay when you're far from home.

When evaluating hotels, I always look at the same things…read more First of all, how is the lobby. In this case, the lobby was bright cheery yet had ample seating for folks to talk and congregate . Second, I consider lighting both in the hallways and the lobby and in the room. In this case, the lighting at all of those locations was quite good if not,l excellent. Third, I consider water pressure. Hotels have a way of putting all these flow restrictors on faucets so that folks can't really wash off the soap and subsequently end up walking around with oily matted hair. Water pressure for me is a key variable when deciding whether or not to stay at a given location and, one of the reasons I often times regret staying at a particular location. In this case, the water pressure was good to good plus. Fourth , I take a look at add-ons, do they have a bar, do they have a restaurant, do they have a pool or hot tub, etc. ? In this case they had a restaurant on site which was nice along with a bar. Both of these were a great feature for hanging out with folks. They also had a pool. Finally, I look at Service. Will they provide and do they provide daily turnover of the room? Are the folks at the front desk available, and eager to help? In both of these cases at this particular location all of that was true. The folks at the front desk were nice. They were willing to turn over the room daily. No complaints here. For all of these reasons, I would give this place one notch up from average.

The room was on the back side and looked out on a nice green landscape, we weren't too far from many places to eat but I think we just got something to-go at Guido's which is right in front (it's more of a grocery store but they have plenty of prepared food options). I still like Hampton a bit better as they include breakfast but this is a nice alternative.

This review is for the Mountain Adventure Park - which really deserves its own Yelp site as it is…read moredistinctly different from a ski resort! I had low expectations given the reviews I'd read on this site and felt worried we'd be throwing money away. We bought tickets ahead of time for the discounted price but I didn't opt in because I figured I wouldn't want to participate in anything. I brought a book. And then 10 minutes after arriving I filled out the 2 page waiver form and handed the lovely people in the Welcome Center $69 in exchange for my all day wrist band. What value! I had such a fantastic time. I was overwhelmed by the knowledge and friendliness of the staff and the quality of the various attractions. I highly recommend going on a weekday in the summer as it was fairly empty and we didn't wait in line for anything. I was with a group of kids aged 12-16 and they all had a blast. But there are also plenty of options for young ones, including a trampoline bungee thing, a mini ropes course, and the mountain coaster and alpine slide. I saw parents riding the alpine slide with toddlers on their laps and it looked really fun. Both the slide and coaster involve long (slow) rides up the mountainside, but the views are beautiful and it's a lot nicer sitting on a chairlift in the summer than in the winter! The slide has two courses so you can go side by side with someone, and you can control the speed, just like on the coaster. There were so many people working and it was very safe, from getting on and off the chair lift to getting on the slide and learning how everything works. Note that if you're being silly and recklessly speeding on the slide you will get hurt. Like, baaaaadly bruised. (Not hurt enough for immediate medical attention, thankfully.) So, heed the warnings of the staff and don't do it. Instead, opt for the adventure of a lifetime on the ropes course. It was AMAZING. There were so many very competent and thoughtful people working there and it was really safe. It was scary, of course, but I never felt like "oh shoot this harness is going to break" or "geez, when was the last time they checked the ladder on this thing." In fact, they were actively repairing some elements on one of the courses (which unfortunately meant one of the courses was closed). There were some moments where you could get stuck or make the wrong guess about what to do next and it seemed like magic that someone on the ground in their bright vest would shout up some good advice. It was definitely an adventure with lots of zip lines and multiple stories off the ground. The staff carefully put you into your harness and then give a very thorough overview of the safety protocol and how to clip in and out of things. I loved that there were so many course options. Lots of great challenges for people at all skill levels. Two other attractions I didn't do but others in my party raved about: a climbing wall and a zip line ride sort of thing for two people. There is a snack bar (and a tavern restaurant I didn't visit) right next to the action and the allergy-friendly options were plentiful! Including Ben and Jerry's ice cream cups, so zero cross contamination worry. The bathrooms are in the welcome center and were clean with a baby changing table. No complaints. It was a super fun day, I highly recommend it, and I thought it was great value for the money.

The lobby is stunning, with beautiful windows and views, but unfortunately I think that's where the renovation stopped. Our room felt dated, particularly the loud air conditioning unit that kept me up for most of the night (my bad for having forgotten to bring earplugs) and the fake wooden flooring gave the room a particularly sterile feel (though I suppose also makes it easier to clean than carpet flooring?). Oddly enough, the room did have a microwave, which I don't usually see in anything other than long-term stays with a kitchenette. The bathroom was an exercise in cramped, poor design. After standing up to turn on the water for the shower, I immediately banged my head against the metal rack for the towels. The toilet was very low and way too close to the door, so, if you wanted to open or shut the door, you had to stand right up against the sink. The cherry on top was the dark water stains along the bottom of the shower curtain. Amenities: Just the basics with hand soap, lotion, body wash, S&C. We forgot toothpaste but the front desk had us covered. The lady who checked us in and gave me bandaids for my uncomfortable heels at the end of the night was super sweet! Parking lot was free overnight.
