Just For Fun

Howdy.
I thought I'd put this direct link up so you can see what the Inn mentions as nearby recreation. Check it out.  Also, for fun, check out the "Lime Rock Suite" on the Accommodations page on the Inn's website - BOO YA!

Back to why I'm writing this though:
The Inn mentions a 9-hole golf course on site, the pool, tennis courts, the 30 acres to go hiking on, a nearby orchard with apples and berries, Fly Fishing on the Housatonic, and much more.

Also I thought I would mention that the day after the wedding the restaurant at the Inn will be serving breakfast per usual; it is open to the public, however that is where we will be so if anyone wants to come and hang out some more... Feel free to leave a comment here on the blog if you want to come to the Inn for breakfast on Sunday - I can see - if there are enough people - about getting reservations for that morning so let me know!

Here's what they wrote on the website:

Morgan's Restaurant dinner menu changes frequently to reflect which ingredients are fresh and in-season. The result: tantalizing recipes made from farm fresh produce and highest quality meats, poultry and fish.

Hours

• Breakfast 7:00 - 10:00 am daily
• Lunch 11:30 am - 2:00 pm Friday through Sunday
• Dinner 5:00 - 9:00 pm daily, till 10:00 pm Friday & Saturday Nights

And don't forget about our casual Sunday Brunch, served ala carte from 11:30 - 2:00 pm. We offer a diverse menu of breakfast and brunch entrees. 

So that's the scoop on breakfast at the Inn. 

I'm sure there are plenty of other options in the area, Great Barrington, MA and so forth.  I'll do some research and get back to you. 

March 1st - 5 months and counting...

Kate here.
I want to make sure that everyone knows that the room block being held at Interlaken Inn will be released today.  You can still call and make a reservation, the prices are the same (I hope) the only difference is that rooms are not specifically being held for our wedding guests meaning the general public may now book those rooms. 
With all of the events going on in Lakeville and the surrounding area the July 24th weekend I want to reitterate how quickly rooms are booking up in the general vacinity.  It makes me sad and nervous to be hoenst.  Origianlly the wedding was to be July 17 th as some of you know, alas the Inn made a mistake and double booked for that weekend. 
I thought I was being gracious, etc. and played it as no big deal and happily agreed to the weekend of July 24th not having any clue that there are so many area events that weekend:

Lime Rock Race Track   

parents weekend for several summer
camps in the area

a weekend bike event

Due to these major events some Inns and motels are raising the minimum stay to three nights, others have increaed their prices and almost every place on the back of the Save-The-Date has no vacancy.  

Interlaken has vacancy as of right now (and it is rather pricey so I understand about finding other reasonable places to stay) but they have a 2 night minimum that I was hoping they would waive for us due to the double booking moment.  Not a chance though.  I tried. 

Not to mention everyone has vacancy the weekend of July 17th... sigh. 

Have faith though!
Jane at the Quality Inn still has rooms that are being blocked off for the wedding.  We have not yet chosen a date to release them so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
