MA Berkshire resort recommendations

[nerodog]

You are very welcome and I hope you have a great time. I was a big Jacibs Pillow and Tanglewood fan so spent many summers in the Berkshires!! I am only familiar with BB and liked it.

Thanks Nerodog for all the info on activities......all things we are looking for!

I have narrowed it down to either Bentley Brook or Vacation Village. My deciding factor as crazy as it sounds is to go to the location that has a swing.
I called Bentley, they do not.
When I called Vacation Village, he wasn't sure and asked someone else, he came back with yes, they do. I have scoured all online pics and I can only find a play structure with no swings. Can anyone confirm if they have a swing set there?

Where did you choose ???

Haven't pulled the plug yet. Still trying to confirm the swing thing.....

We're heading to the Berkshires on 8/23 - cancelled a week at Wyndham Bonnet Creek (due to Covid). This will be our first RCI Points stay ever (also our first ever trip to the Berkshires) - booked a pair of one-bedrooms at Berkshire Mountain Lodge. So very grateful for the suggestions in this thread so far.

we stayed here 2 years ago. Very nice and Stop and Shop is across the street. Indoor pool and pet friendly( as long as you tell them) we didn’t have a pet but good to know. Have a fun time.

Thanks, we are looking forward to it. Apparently all pools in MA are closed until October 1, so we won't get to use that feature. But it appears that the lakes in the area still allow swimming, so we'll try that out at some point. And because of Covid we are favoring outdoor activities over indoor ones generally.

There is a performance of Godspell under a tent in the city - apparently the first show in the country that Actors Equity approved. We're debating whether to go to that - I'm hoping the local paper will do a review that focuses on how the audience is seated / distanced to see if we want to chance it. They said they are taking temps before admission and requiring masks in the audience, but still don't want to sit too close to people.

Ended up booking Bentley Brook. Ended up getting the unit as a last call...which was nice, but now I'm still sitting on RCI TPUs that I have been trying to use for years.......

Looking for a 2nd unit now so may parents can join.

I wrote a review on Berkshire Mountain Lodge.

We love Bentley Brook. It is our favorite resort.

We returned on Friday using 4 of our our 7 night stay. Review of Bentley has been submitted. Yes, a decent resort for the area. We had decided on "in-state" vacations this summer (cape and berkshires) due to Covid and quarantine restrictions. They were both ok to get a break from the day-to-day and I can now cross both off my "to-do" list......but my love will still be the White Mountains in NH and taking Exit 32 off of 93.
