EXPLORE RACE BROOK LODGE:
Our rooms are carved out of a 19th century barns and a Federal style mansion, with other cottages and cabins. Continental breakfast is included. Hiking trails start right here on the property and extend up to the Race Brook Falls, Mount Everett, Mount Race and beyond. You can continue on the Appalachian Trail... all the way to Georgia, or north to Maine!
The Race Brook is a soothing presence, babbling right through the center of our property. Enjoy the sound of the brook from a hammock in the shade or spread out a blanket for a picnic on the lawn. Also enjoy volleyball and lawn games. In the summer, sometimes the brook dries up temporarily, allowing for adventures and scavenger hunts in the riverbed.
At The Stagecoach Tavern, visionary chef Laurel Barkan uses local ingredients whenever possible to create original interpretations of both traditional and exotic dishes. The Stagecoach is best known for it’s atmosphere, as diners revel in history of the centuries-old candlelit tavern.
Our rooms come in all different sizes and shapes, with romantic hideaways and spacious king beds or cabin-style accommodations with multiple beds. Call us to help choose the room that’s just right for you.
Keep an eye on our event calendar to find out about live music, workshops, and other inspiring events in the Barnspace or Down County Social Club (DCSC).
We have great spaces for groups! Our Barnspace is rustic and sophisticated and infinitely versatile. It’s great for weddings, corporate meetings, yoga retreats, and dance parties!
We love pets! Over half of our rooms are dog-friendly. Dogs love the great hiking right on the property, diving in the brook and frolicking with guests, staff and other dogs!
The Race Mountain House is an epic four-bedroom villa up on the slope of Mt Race, overlooking the Southern Berkshire valley!
