Warfield House Inn — Hotel in Charlemont

We had our wedding at the Warfield House on 5/14/2022. Katy, the on-site wedding coordinator, worked with us for several months to make our day special and everything we wanted it to be - and it was absolutely everything we wanted it to be! I'll start with the overview and get into the specifics:

Overview: The venue is gorgeous, the natural beauty of the mountains is breathtaking (even if you live locally, as we do), and the groundskeepers do a fantastic job with flowerbeds and lawn care. Despite her busy schedule, Katy was knowledgeable, accommodating, and gave us everything we needed. Food (Crazy Horse, part of Berkshire East & the Warfield) was delicious, and every guest left stuffed and raving about the steak (not always the case at weddings). We had our wedding party stay on-site at the Inns, which were extremely clean, well-kept, and very comfortable - complete with full kitchens, private bathrooms for most rooms, and comfortable living rooms for social hours. Every guest loved our wedding experience from start to end, and my wife was so thrilled with everything. I can't recommend this place enough, especially for the price (more details at the end).

Venue: The Warfield sits on top of a beautiful mountain with a great view of the surrounding mountains and hills. The garden and lawn are always pristine and groomed (even in winter), making the entire place picturesque all year. So much so that I personally felt like we didn't need to order many of our own flowers in fear that the flowers we ordered would draw attention away from the natural beauty of the surrounding area! We chose to have private vows at the small pond, which was perfect. Each guest raved about the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the cleanliness of the venue.

Lodging: The Inns on-site were perfect for hosting the wedding party! The beds were extremely comfortable, and each house was cleaned spotless for our arrival. The kitchens were great for hosting brunches and dinners in the days leading up to the wedding, and it was a fantastic option to prevent our guests from driving home intoxicated. Overall, it was way better than any hotel and by far the best option for hosting our wedding party.

Food & Drink: We chose to go with Alan & the Crazy Horse for our food and drink. The food was so great! Everybody raved about the steaks, which were soft, tender, and melted right in your mouth. The salmon (which I had) was cooked to perfection. Even our vegan option (quinoa confetti) was highly sought after! We chose to have an open bar. Alan recommended our "his and hers" drinks (ginger bourbon Manhattans and strawberry smash), which were huge hits! They also offered a great selection of local beers!

Service: Katy and Alan did a wonderful job taking care of my wife and I from start to finish. We really felt heard the entire time, and they both took such good care of us - making sure we had time to eat and taking care of all of the hard things for us on the day of the wedding so we could enjoy ourselves.

Pricing: The pricing is unbeatable. For everything we had - food, lodging for the entire place for 3 days, open bar, brunch the following morning, venue fees, flowers, etc. - we ended up spending around $30K. Without the extras (lodging, brunch, open bar), our wedding would have easily been under 20K, and even less had we chosen to make a few other sacrifices (as I said, the place is beautiful without most decorations and "extras"). EXTREMELY...

We stayed at the Warfield House Inn as part of a wedding party this past weekend. The setting, a working farm looking across the valley to the Berkshire East Ski Area, is really stunning. The Warfield House Inn consists of two houses and we stayed in the main house, the larger of the two. The Inn has about 7 rooms and our party occupied M2 and M4 although we were originally scheduled for M2 and M6. The rooms we stayed in had a flat screen TV and a private bathroom but are too small to include a chair. M2 has a queen bed, a closet, and a private bathroom and cost about $400 including tax for two nights. M4 and M6 both cost $450 for two nights including tax. M4 has a king bed that needs to be replaced and a bathroom with toilet and shower; however the sink is in the bedroom rather than the bathroom, and there is no closet, only a few hangers on the back of the door. M6 has a queen bed and single sofa pull-out bed, a bathroom, a closet, and both windows and sky lights, but is on the third floor. The house has been recently remodeled and sports new windows that open and close easily, dark wood floors, light gray walls and white trim including crown molding, and white bedding with light gray trim.It would have been nice to have had fresh towels and a straightening of the bed covers during the day at some point, but daily housekeeping is not included. My daughter asked for a fresh towel and received one with an admonition that that was it. One hair dryer is available for entire house; luckily we knew who borrowed it and were able to share. The main floor consists of a large kitchen, dining room, and living room with another TV. All furniture in the common areas is somewhat worn and could use upgrading. The kitchen is stocked with breakfast materials like bagels, muffins, eggs, coffee, milk, and cereal. The wedding venue is about 200 feet from the Inn and is a large room with a cement floor with a roof and open sides with plastic pull down curtains. A nearby kitchen in another building is available to caterers. The upsides are the mountain setting, convenience to the wedding venue, and the ability to visit with fellow guests attending the wedding over breakfast. The downsides are the lack of housekeeping, the worn furniture in the common areas, and the uneven pricing. We never met the owners, despite spending $850 at the Inn over the weekend; a housekeeper came by to do light cleaning in the kitchen or when summoned by ringing the doorbell. We did all of the loading and unloading of the dishwasher. When we dropped a jar of baby food on the kitchen floor resulting in glass splattering everywhere, the housekeeper did not respond to our request for help via the doorbell, so we did our best to clean up without a vacuum or rags. The WiFi is free and worked for awhile into the evening until it got jammed about 8 pm and no longer worked. The setting very quiet and we all enjoyed a good...

We had our wedding in August 2025 at the Warfield House Inn (Hinata retreat). I first want to say Katy is excellent to work with. Katy is exceptionally organized, great at communicating, knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Our wedding day went smoothly because she walked us through a rehearsal, and helped people (very discreetly) through making every event happen. The actual wedding was incredible. We had so much fun, the food was good (though very pricey for the area and for what we got), and the location is beautiful.

However, the negatives of our wedding were highly impactful and need to be reflected, as they are all due to the new owners. They ask that any guests not staying overnight leave after the wedding, which is reasonable. We had people staying only in the main house, as it seems the owners stay in the bungalow, which was disappointing but we made it work.

That being said, we had guests including the father of the bride and a couple of friends who had sober drivers that stayed about an hour after the wedding ended to pack our items up and make sure we left the place clean and respectfully. While we were sitting by the fire with the guests that were staying the night, the owners Jen and her husband came over addressing the whole group and explicitly threatened to “call the Charlemont police” if anyone else left the property. They continued to argue with our guests, stating that one guest tried to leave when that was not the case, and saying that no one is allowed to leave the property for the rest of the night. At that point, everyone not sleeping there had already left, yet Jen and her husband incessantly scolded and argued with our guests when we defended ourselves explaining that none of us were leaving. Multiple guests and both the bride and groom tried deescalating and communicating that no one was leaving and everything was fine, yet they spoke over us continuing threats of calling the cops.

We are a younger group in our mid twenties, and it just felt like they wanted to scold children. We followed all rules and were very respectful to all requests made, as we just wanted a happy night. This left us, the bride and groom, very very upset after our wedding. Overall, communication from the owners was unprofessional and disrespectful in...
