Set along the western shore of Pontoosuc Lake in Lanesborough, The Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires offers a setting that feels purpose-built for gathering. Recently acquired by Mazzone Hospitality, the lakefront property pairs the intimacy of a cottage retreat with the infrastructure and expertise of one of the Northeast’s leading hospitality groups—making it a compelling destination for weddings, retreats, and multi-day celebrations.
The Lake House is designed for immersion. Seven distinctive cottages—available individually or as a full-property buyout—allow groups to stay together while still offering privacy and a sense of ease. The Lake House Lodge anchors the property, joined by the Artists, Writers, Dock Masters, Greylock, Holiday, and Berkshire Cottages. Together, they accommodate up to 50–60 overnight guests, making the venue particularly well suited to full-weekend weddings, corporate offsites, and family gatherings where shared time is central to the experience.
The landscape plays an equally important role. With direct access to the lake, guests can move easily between indoor and outdoor moments throughout the day. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing equipment, and a private boat launch extend the usable footprint of the venue in warmer months, while fall foliage and winter activities—snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing—make the Lake House a true four-season destination. Evenings often gather around stone gas fireplaces, reinforcing the sense of retreat that defines the property year-round.
With Mazzone Hospitality now stewarding the venue, events at the Lake House are supported by a team known for impeccable service and attention to detail. Weddings and events produced by Mazzone are designed to feel one-of-a-kind—custom celebrations shaped to reflect each couple’s personal style or an organization’s specific goals. From arrival through farewell, guests are guided by seasoned professionals, creating an experience that feels seamless, confident, and thoughtfully executed.
What sets Mazzone Hospitality apart is its commitment to excellence across every aspect of event planning. Culinary and event teams work together to craft experiences that consistently exceed expectations. Wedding and event menus are carefully curated using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, balancing classic preparations with contemporary flavors. The result is food that anchors the celebration—meals designed not just to impress, but to linger in memory.
Whether hosting an intimate gathering, a corporate retreat, a family reunion, or a large-scale celebration, Mazzone brings the same level of care and precision to every event. Details are handled with intention, allowing hosts and guests alike to remain present in the moment, confident that food, service, and flow are in expert hands.
Looking ahead, the Lake House will continue to evolve. A new welcome center, currently in development, will provide a central gathering space designed to support ceremonies, receptions, and year-round events, further enhancing the property’s flexibility while preserving its sense of place.
Together, The Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires and Mazzone Hospitality offer more than a venue. They offer a setting where landscape, lodging, cuisine, and service align—creating events that feel immersive, personal, and enduring.
