First time. Excellent food. Wonderful atmosphere for this long time Dylan fan. And, to top it all off, my car got stuck in a ditch, walked back to Dream away, and they could not have been more helpful!!!! Chris and Steve and Dillon and a couple of other guys took us back to the car (3 miles on bad roads) and tried to push the car out. When that didn’t work they took us back to the lodge and the owner Andy let us sleep the night there! Nikki and Delia gave us bedding and we were able to sleep until getting towed in the morning! Talk about the loving kindness of strangers

We enjoyed our first visit at dream away lodge. The ride up the mountain road was pretty cool. The people who work there are super cool and friendly. The atmosphere was completely laid back and has nostalgic decorations of when musician Bob Dylan and Joan Baez played there. Lots of musical history to read about. There is a music room where they host shows and open mic nite. The food was good though a bit pricey so for us it would be a special occasion to visit again.

This is a very special place with a rich history. We went on open mic night, so two people in our party of five performed and had a wonderfully great experience. This is a must go to place when in the Berkshires. The staff are super friendly, and the bartender was delightful. They have a great selection of local beer and I know some of the reviews listed the food as unfavorable but we enjoyed what we ate and we think they’re trying hard to getting this right. There’s also a wonderful outdoor fire pit. You just can’t go wrong coming to the Dream Away Lodge. It’s a very unique experience. I highly highly recommend it I think next time I go to inside out at Jacobs pillow I will look forward to a dining experience here.

Sooo happy that Dream Away is back. Same fabulous vibe, ambiance, karma. Gracious servers, good food. The menu is still under development and choices are limited, but it is expanding week by week. I have been there five times since July(I live in Becket) and always leave happy. Leave extra time to stroll in the beautiful gardens or warm up by the fire pit.

A local friend recommended the Dream Away as a venue for dinner for about 40 people the night before our wedding celebration in the Berkshires. Fortunately, the timing was perfect, as they were not yet booked up and their new chef had just started. Despite the unseasonably cool, rainy weather in mid June, it was a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and the staff friendly and accommodating. In particular, Chris (general manager) was really helpful. We planned an outdoor event and they helped us to set up popup tents, and lit a fire pit so our guests could warm up. After dinner, several of us hung out at the quirky bar and listened to the band. I have to say, it wasn’t cheap – but everyone ate well and had fun!

We had such a wonderful time at the Dream Away last night. The food, service and atmosphere were all just perfect! We went a few months back and were disappointed – but I’m so glad we decided to give this special place another shot. The new chef and her team are really knocking it out of the park!

I know they just reopened and the staff is still getting acclimated. So, I am writing the review with that in mind. We were really looking forward to returning to Dream Away (always enjoyed the atmosphere, music, etc.. even though the food was always just okay), but unfortunately there are many issues now. The staff was very friendly and really trying. They are smart to have a very limited menu as they get in the groove. But, the food was tasteless, small portions and really overpriced. You would think that if there are only three main dishes to choose from, that they would make them well. I hope they can improve the quality, rethink the prices or increase the portion sizes. And my glass of wine was about half a normal pour. Cleanliness is also an issue. Wishing them luck in getting it right because Dream Away is an institution and fun quirky venue that used to be worth the trip.

I went to the Dream Away Lodge last weekend. It was the first weekend where they had their own chef in the kitchen running the show (previous weekends were via their “Chef-in-Residence”) and it was amazing! The food was delicious, the service was excellent (and fast) and the live music made the atmosphere/vibe perfect! The new owners even came over to introduce themselves — very nice people who own a house locally. Welcome back Dream Away — we missed you!

I love this place. The food is farm to table fresh. The atmosphere is wonderful. I went for Memorial Day weekend on Sunday. Daniel ( previous owner) escorted us to our table. He explained that the menu was temporarily limited to give the kitchen a chance to get going post Covid. He asked us for patience.

Just had my first experience at the Dream Away- what a special place! We had a really lovely dinner last night. The homemade bread was delicious, as were all of the many appetizers we ordered. One particular favorite for our group was the patatas bravas poutine- so tasty! The mushroom dumplings were also delicious.
