The Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires - Hotel in Lanesborough - 636 S Main St, USA

A perfect place for a quick girls-get-away in off-season to chill, and work, and have fun in a cozy, well-appointed cottage. Close to the North Adams/Williamstown museums and restaurants while having a beautiful lake to offer replenishing energy. Cory was attentive to our specific cottage needs including lending a hat when the sun was unexpectedly a bit strong when sitting by the lake! While the nearby traffic was unobtrusive, we wished that at times it was a bit less noticeable.

Beautiful location on the lake. The houses are gorgeous, with high ceilings, a rustic feel, plenty of bedrooms, lots of windows, bathrooms for every room, tvs, and large kitchen space. The views (no matter which house you're in) are spectacular. The porches, whether screened in or not, are spacious. You're able to kayak, pattleboard, swim, and lay out in the sun ( if it's sunny). The tent area for parties and weddings is huge and very accommodating for many guests. Wanna grill? Well, there's an outdoor grill for your grilling needs and a large one for parties. Across the street is a golf range and an ice cream shop. It's truly a nice place to stay whether you're from Pittsfield or not. It's serene, peaceful, and private.

The perfect place for our event to gather and celebrate with family and friends. Beautiful and well-kept grounds, fun lake amenities, and clean, modern accommodations. The Caretaker, Cory is amazing- responsive, very helpful, friendly and communicated with detail and diligence throughout. A very special place!

We hosted our wedding weekend at The Lake House Guest Cottages and we could not be more thrilled with our experience. Cory and Nicole were helpful, professional, and worked to overcome the wildness of late-July weather to ensure we had an amazing day. When a mid-evening downpour was headed our way the team acted quickly to not only keep our guests dry but keep the party going. They took care of everything and we truly didn't have anything to worry about! From start to finish, from the staff to the property, we cannot recommend the Cottages more. Having guests arrive on Friday afternoon and have full access to the lake and the amenities set the tone for an incredible weekend that was a perfect mix of fun and relaxing! Our guests enjoyed a full weekend and many are already asking when we'll be hosting a reunion. Pontoosuc was the picture-perfect backdrop (in every sense) and our weekend at The Lake House Guest Cottages was a dream!

This is the most magical place for a wedding. I am a local to Western Mass and grew up going camping in the Berkshires while my now husband had not we were inviting a lot of out of town guests and wanted somewhere for all of our friends to stay and meet in addition to allowing for a weekend long party. The grounds keeper and both Nicole and Trina were amazing as they helped us set up and break down at the beginning and end of the weekend. The weather was hot all weekend long but this allowed our guests to get the most out of the lake and all the non motorized water toys. We had some local catering brought to the site on Saturday before the wedding, and every one was able to enjoy the sun or allowed to lounge in the beautiful cabins that were surrounding the main tent where we held our beautiful ceremony. I want to make a trip back and rent out the cabins for a week because we had such and amazing time and now we have such wonderful memories and we are able to rent out an individual house for ourselves. 1000% would recommend!

Where do I even begin?! The Lake House Cottages of the Berkshires is an amazing place with amazing staff! My wife and I had our wedding there last weekend and it ABSOLUTELY exceeded our expectations. We arrived early (a must) and stayed for a few days beforehand before the wedding weekend. Corey, the caretaker, was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout our entire stay pre and post wedding. Trina & Nicole were fantastic with all of the wedding preparations beforehand and very accommodating. It truly felt like a home away from home with an incredible facility, perfect wedding venue, beautiful lake, and so much love and attention to detail. Several guests were talking about coming to the Lake House for a separate visit in the future. For those considering this venue for a wedding.....LOOK NO FURTHER - this is a hidden gem and we feel so fortunate to have been able to experience it.

We could not have asked for a more amazing wedding weekend venue. The LHGC’s took care of our venue needs for our Friday welcome BBQ, Saturday ceremony/cocktail hour/reception, and our Sunday farewell brunch. Nicole, the venue’s main coordinator, was so helpful and on the ball throughout the entire planning process. She was working behind the scenes all weekend to make sure everything went smoothly from start to finish with our incoming vendors for all of our events. She also worked closely with us to make our ceremony processional spectacular, making sure I walked down the aisle at the precise moment in the song that I envisioned. I really appreciated all of the attention to detail. Cory and Trina were the main points of contact with set up/clean up throughout the weekend, and they were a joy to work with as well. The venue is magical and beautiful, and there really isn’t anything you could be left wanting. Our guests loved the “cottages” - they are more like incredibly maintained and updated large houses. The on-site tent and dance floor were included in the pricing, as well as access to the venue for the whole weekend with the outdoor furniture/kitchens/lounge areas/tables and chairs/linens. The lake created the perfect backdrop for our wedding weekend. If you want magic, definitely book your wedding at the LHGC’s. We will be cherishing these memories forever.

My family has used the entire compound twice for family reunions and both time have been exceptional. We all discussed how difficult it is to find an intimate space that can sleep 40+ people but The Lake House Guest Cottages has that special sauce. Plenty of lodging, inviting communal spaces and endless views. Cannot recommend highly enough.
