Join us for an incredible 3-night Fall getaway to the Berkshires! We'll be staying at the Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires right on the shores of beautiful Pontoosuc Lake. The region features something for everyone, so this can be a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style trip! We'll be coordinating a group whitewater rafting trip for September 10 (see below) and will also plan a day of cycling along a local rail trail. We may also plan a group tour of one of the many local museums. There is ziplining, aerial adventures and apple-picking. Take a hike or a drive up Mount Greylock to take in the sights, or go easy and lounge on the lakeshore at the cottages. Our host offers free use of the waterfront, docks, patio, kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, peddle boat, life jackets, and more, so there's no pressure to even leave the grounds.
The $439 cost includes 3 nights accommodations in one of the "cottages." This is a condo-style arrangement where we will share a multi-bedroom fully equipped cottage. Most rooms have a single King Bed per bedroom, so the trip is best suited to couples (or really good friends!) that are willing to share a bed. We do have a few rooms that offer separate beds per room; however, they are very few and will be sold on a first-come basis. If you would like to go but do not have a roommate, please let me know and I will try to accommodate.
Whitewater Rafting: We will reserve a full day whitewater rafting trip along the Fife Brook section of the Deerfield River. It is a dam-release river featuring class II rapids with one class III section. A riverside picnic-style lunch is included, along with a slide show, and all necessary equipment (wetsuits available for a small extra fee). The rafting trip is optional, not included in the base price, and costs $100 per person (including all taxes and fees).
