How will it feel to leave your busy world behind and release the mundane of everyday life?
As you settle into our lodge nestled overlooking the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, a sense of interconnectedness with nature and community will take hold. Over the weekend, we will invite you to participate in many unforgettable activities. Farm-to-table culinary experiences will be carefully curated for your enjoyment and moments around the fire are sure to linger on your mind for years to come.
You have the option of taking part in multiple lighthearted adventures including a walk to one of Massachusetts' most bucolic waterfalls. Other experiences include the art of archery, creating nostalgic moments and taking you back to long summer days at camp.
