We had a love hate relationship with this resort... but there was more positive than negative.
We had bought an extra vacation through RCI to come to this resort for our annual ski trip. The location is great for skiers as it is right across the street from Jiminy Peak. Aside from the mountain and the restaurants located there, everything else was at least a 20 to 30 minute ride away. Luckily we were not looking to do much during out week.

What we loved about this resort: The rooms where spotless, beautiful, quiet. The bed was very comfortable, I slept very soundly. There was lots of room and plenty of room for our friends who came up for one weekend during our trip. There was an indoor pool which was decently sized and in a beautiful room with big windows giving you a perfect view of the mountain across the street. There is also an outdoor hot tub that over looks the mountain. The front desk allows you to take out DVDs for free (one per room at a time) and there are DVD players in the units.

What we didn't like: The resort seemed to do a lot of nickle and diming... what I mean by this is they charge you if you want to use the safe in the unit. They charge you if you wanted to have bed sheets changed even once. They charge you if you want to connect to their WiFi. We also didn't like the fitness center. It was small and the equipment was very cheap. At least one of the treadmills didn't work properly, the track kept getting stuck making it actually kind of dangerous. We liked having the hot tub but it seemed that every day it was WAY over crowded. We would always have to wait a while to even get a spot in there, and even thought it was supposed to 18 and older only, there were always children going in and out of the hot tub like it was a mini pool for them. NOT my idea of relaxing.

Over all, we had a fantastic and peaceful week. Despite what I didn't like we would go back in the future.

We stay here once or twice a year through RCI. It is a very nice resort, clean, friendly staff. The guest directory in the room is a good resource. We had a one bedroom unit for 2 adults and 1 teenager which is a nice size. The resort is less than 2 miles away from Jiminy Peak ski resort, and a few restaurants. Shopping is about 15 miles away. However, there is no shuttle that I am aware of from the resort.

My only negative comment would be the lack of amenities in the room which have been cut back on e.g., shampoo, etcetera. However when I called the front desk, they provided what we requested.

They have movie rentals available that are free and that is a nice amenity. Another positive is the shower, they were hot and had a really strong flow which is nice. The larger units have a jacuzzi tub. Having a full size kitchen is extremely helpful. Beds were comfortable and there was appropriate bedding for the pull out.

Only 2 of the 3 of us ski, so it was nice to have a nice place to relax. Would recommend for skiing or relaxing.

We own at this resort and stay here at least once a year, if not more. Hubby and I love going up there. Berkshires is beautiful and whenever we go, we really have a relaxing time.

The resort is across the street from the Jiminy Peak Ski resort. It's on top of a mountain which truly makes it a getaway place.

The rooms are well decorated. You get a kitchen/ kitchenette, depending on the room you get (A or B). A's normally have the jacuzzi tub in the bedroom and an oven/range. Both A and B's have private baths, dining area, living area (pull-out couch) and balcony. The front desk has DVDs you can bring to your room to watch. They have a business center at the main building as well, where the indoor heated pool is located. The resort also has a fitness gym, an arcade center, an outdoor jacuzzi and another pool (open only during the summer). They have a free laundry facility on each floor, detergent not provided.

They have in-house activities also, so don't forget to ask the front desk for a schedule.

We loved Vacation Village in the Berkshires. The resort itself is beautiful, the staff was very friendly and our room was incredible! We were fortunate enough to have a two bedroom unit which was perfect for our two children. It was as though they had their own little villa! The pool was clean and the jacuzzi overlooked the mountains outside! Because the unit had a full kitchen..I prepared most of our meals. There are,however,great restaurants in the area but not a supermarket so I would suggest bringing whatever you can from home! This is a great place to kick back and be with your family. Bring games and movies and have a relaxing vacation. We can't wait to go back in the summer!
