Race Brook Lodge

We attended a wedding on Aug 24 and I highly recommend that no one ever patronizes this awful venue. The cocktail hour was nonexistent. You had to wait on line for a drink for over 30 minutes from the one bartender. They put out less than 50 dumplings for 160 people, and a small charcuterie board that couldn't feed 30 people and was not replaced. We had to wait 2 and half hours to be served dinner at 8:30 pm. Maybe there were 3 servers for the entire wedding bringing out one bowl at a time. There were 13 people at my table and certainly not enough food to feed us. They ran out of the eggplant dish that was on the menu for vegetarians . A couple on the table had nothing to eat so they went to other tables to ask if they had any leftovers. They had some nerve accepting a party for 160 people when they couldn't feed 50 properly. Saying they were under staffed is an understatement. The manager of the kitchen didn't order enough food. We all went home hungry.

My husband and I attended a wedding at the Racebrook Lodge on August 24, 2024 and were appalled at the obvious lack of preparation, coordination and management of the lodges wedding staff. Guests were forced to stand for over an hour after the ceremony ended, while chairs were moved to the dining tables . Additionally, the fact that they supplied one bartender for 160 people caused a tremendous crowd to gather by the one bar for an excessively long period of time. The final indignation was when the facilities kitchen literally ran out of food, before all the guests were fed. This necessitated that guests went from table to table on their own seeking something to eat. One guest had a piece of chicken and had to cut it into slices to give other guests that hadn’t gotten their meal I would strongly discourage anyone from thinking of booking their special day at this venue.

Great welcome on a cold night, personable and personal, room was anything but a standard room, authentic lodge-y, cozy, charming, the Tavern was welcoming, food five star, again the staff is just super friendly and accommodating.i admired everything they have to offer, which is a lot, sauna, hiking, etc. But couldn't take advantage, but the patio fire and fireplace in the tavern were welcome!

Just a run down camp ground. Rooms are an eclectic collection of Salvation Army left overs. Bed is old and creaky. Windows had a piece of material thumb tacked over it. Shower came equipped with spider and spiderweb. Brook is beautiful and mountain trail is magnificent - but the room is just awful.

By far, the worst lodging experience we have ever had. I am baffled by the good reviews posted here. “Quaint & rustic” should not equal filthy and neglected. Room was dirty, toilet runs, sink doesn’t drain…All around horrific stay.

Too expensive to what it is-- run down. Gardener with weedwack when should have been quiet time. Sorry to be so pointed but way over priced for such a shoddy place. Kick it up a knock and go to the Red Lion in Stockbridge. Yes more money but well with it.
