Welcome to Brookside Mountain Retreat by AvantStay!
Nestled in the rolling foothills between the Berkshires and New York's Capital Region, Brookside Mountain Retreat is a sprawling countryside retreat where warmth, connection, and endless recreation come together. Designed for families, groups, and corporate gatherings, this all-season haven blends the charm of a classic lodge with the comfort and amenities of a private resort---all surrounded by sweeping mountain views and tranquil upstate beauty.
Step inside to discover expansive, light-filled interiors designed for gathering and relaxation. The open-concept living room invites conversation by the fireplace, while the adjoining dining hall offers seating for over 20 guests---perfect for shared meals and celebrations. In the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is equipped for culinary creativity, featuring a 36" stove, three refrigerators, dual dishwashers, and everything you need to cook for a crowd.
Entertainment flows easily from the indoors to the outdoors. The game room serves as the home's social hub, complete with a full bar, pool table, foosball, air hockey, and a Sonos sound system. Outside, summer afternoons are made for lounging by the heated pool, soaking in the year-round hot tub, or grilling and dining on the spacious decks, with the soothing sounds of the on-site stream and nearby waterfall adding to the setting. As the sun sets, gather around the firepit or under the string lights by the sand volleyball court, where laughter lasts long into the night.
Thirteen private bedrooms---each with its own ensuite or shared bath---offer comfort and privacy for up to 40 guests. Thoughtful touches like cozy bedding, ample storage, and multiple lounge areas make it easy for everyone to unwind. Whether you're hosting a multi-family reunion, team offsite, or wellness retreat, every corner of Brookside Mountain Retreat has been designed to bring people together.
Beyond the property, adventure awaits in every direction. Explore hiking trails and waterfalls nearby, hit the slopes at Jiminy Peak just minutes away, or spend the day exploring the Berkshires' local art, dining, and culture before returning to your private haven in the hills.
