10/23-10/25/2026 - Jeff & Jen , This was our 2nd stay here in Cabin 12 and it's our favorite spot to just enjoy each other! The fall view from Cabin 12 is just incredible! Every morning we sat in the hot tub to watch the sun rise and after diner at the Perch we sat in the hot tub to watch the amazing star light sky and even caught another Shooting star! The bath robes are just amazing to just lounge around and we binge watched our favorite show "Yellowstone" while sitting by the fire! This place is just our…

10/23-10/25/26 Thank you for such a magical stay to celebrate our 8th anniversary. The food and the staff were excellent and made us feel at home. The views made us feel secluded and they never got old. Watching the sunrise with the great coffee was incredible. We loved exploring the area, including Mohawk Trail State Park, and visiting the local breweries. The hot tub was a great way to end each day. We will definitely be back! Graham & Sharley

Oct 16th - Oct 19th Additional to what all guests Hinata have expressed, this place make you disconnect by default. the cabin has everything you need to stay in the property during your stay. We stayed 3 nights an every body should do the same to really experience this magical place at 100%. out of the 3 nights we were able to lay down on the deck and observe millions of stars, including 4 shooting stars, one night moon was unbelievable bright. Sun risings were also a unique experience from your bed! :) Husband…

10/16-10/18/26 Hinata family- Thank you for a much needed escape from the chaos of life. It was amazing to slow down from our normal pace of work, chores, kids, sports, etc and just be still. We walked slower, enjoyed conversation, ate some amazing food, and explored the town. We rode the Thunderbolt mountain coaster, walked a corn maze, took a hike, and explored the local markets and restaurants. Its been such a relaxing 48 hours - like hitting the pause button on life. Now we are ready to jump back into real…

10/7-10/9/26 Victoria & Cameron (Middletown, RI) We are here celebrating our 4th year anniversary! This place has been absolutely magical and the time we needed away together ♡ First off... if you've read this book you've heard the espresso martinis are really good... so we had to go find out for ourselves & they really are THAT good! Make sure you go in the hot tub at night and turn all the lights off and look up at all the stars... Its breathtaking! If you're looking for a fun hike check out mount holyoke trail!…

Oct 9, 2026 Thank you for the most amazing get-away! We did nothing - which was the goat. It was the perfect space/environment to reconnect, laugh, relax, and just enjoy eachothers company without life's distractions. Dinner @ Perch was incredible & Mary, our server, was a doll. Breakfast delivery was an awesome add-on & we are so glad we did it. We wish you much success for this Phenomenal & Special Place! We will be back - Pam & Eve

Peaceful, relaxing and really brought us together in the best of ways. We were able to enjoy everything from the hot-tub under the stars to fun little games to play in cabin.

Oct 4th - 7th Dear Reader, My husband and I spent our honeymoon here. We were married on October 4th, 2026 and we had a beautiful reception with family and friends, and good food. We arrived late on our wedding night and awoke to a fiery orange sunrise. Even my very late rising partner woke up to enjoy the light. The fall foliage peaked with this weekend and the trees look like they are glowing. On our first day we explored Ashfield, went to the Wicked Good Cafe and it lived up to its name. Try the Wind buns! We…

October 4 - October 7, 2026 We came here to relax and celebrate our 12th year wedding anniversary. This was a much needed get away to celebrate us while enjoying such a beautiful location away from our two kids! We saw deer and a bald eagle and her baby right from the back deck! It was such a great view and we loved waking up early to see the stars + watch the sun rise. Husband saw three shooting stars! This place exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning one day soon! Thank you ♥ Kristen + Josh

We've stayed here twice and cannot wait to come back! I'd love to experience every season, so far spring and autumn. Breathtaking views!! The cabins are cozy, private and have everything you could need. The hot tub and soaking tub inside are absolutely magical and the fire pit is perfect for a relaxing evening. The Perch just might be my favorite restaurant. Every meal we've had there has been perfection. The service is lovely and welcoming too! Thank you for creating such a comfortable and inviting space for a…
What an amazing getaway destination. The Perch restaurant is incredible. Food, drink, service all the best. The cabin has everything to make your stay unforgettable. Soaking tub,king bed, hot tub, fire pit. The view is breathtaking. We have stayed in many New England inn and hotels. This is a cut above anything we have experienced. This is our second time staying at Hinata and it was even better than the first time
My wife and I spent our fifth wedding anniversary at Hinata this past weekend, and it was exactly the refreshing, revitalizing getaway we needed. We have two young children whom we love dearly, but having time to ourselves to reconnect and simply be present with each other was priceless. Hinata’s relaxed, cozy atmosphere made it easy to slow down and enjoy that time together. Nothing feels flashy or over the top—just thoughtful and welcoming. Having a restaurant and bar right on the property made the stay even…
★★★★★ My husband and I got married about a week ago and chose Hinata Retreat for our 2 night mini moon, and it was truly the perfect getaway! 🤍 First of all, the fall foliage was absolutely INSANE, everywhere we looked was so beautiful. The cabin itself was intimate, cozy, serene, peaceful, and exactly what we were looking for after all the excitement of our wedding. We loved relaxing in the hot tub, sipping wine by the outdoor fire pit, cuddling up together, and just enjoying the quiet mountain views and each…
My wife and I had such a beautiful and relaxing experience at Hinata Retreat. From the scenic drive there to the peaceful and private setting, the entire getaway was exactly what we were hoping for. We absolutely loved having our own private cabin. The room was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and gave us the perfect space to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and simply get away from everything for a while. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful, and the privacy made the experience even more special. Communication…
Highly recommend Hinata in Charlemont, MA! this place was fantastic! Cozy, well-equipped rooms, adults-only, and gorgeous, secluded surroundings. The on-site restaurant was incredible! We opted for the surprise tasting menu, where each course was a mystery until it arrived, with a staff member presenting and explaining each dish. Such a fun dining experience! Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious. The cabin itself was very warm during the very cold nights. Great visual from the deck. Loved waking up early…
9/19/26 ~ 9/22/26 We had a wonderful time here celebrating a mini-honeymoon. Everything here is perfect! We had a couples massage that was so peaceful my husband fell asleep! Dinner at Perch was delicious + everyone was so friendly. The views are amazing, especially from the hot tub. We went into the next city, Shelburne + spent the day enjoying the local shops. We will definitely be back! ♡ Erin + Dave Rhode Island

September 23-27, 2026 The perfect getaway!! Honestly the best location we could have picked for our honeymoon. Everything is so calm and quiet that we forget that this is a whole retreat with other cabins. The view is straight out of a movie, and the early autumn breeze as you sit out on the deck is perfect. The staff is very friendly and all of our needs were well done. Everything is new, fresh and clean. Very well maintained. And the soaking tub is to die for!! Lolol!! We will GLADLY come again, and recommend to…

I was praying the cabin was everything I thought it would be, or saw online.... IT WAS. Soooo beautiful, from the moment we walked in, the rose pedals, candles lit everywhere, wine w/ 2 glasses, the bed, the beautiful shower, the outside deck with hot tub + fire pit, all of it was beyond what I imagined! My husband was completely blown away!! Oh, and…

9/17 - 9/20/26 What a truly amazing experience! Every little detail was thought of. As we sit here in front of the fireplace having coffee on this last misty morning we realized just how much we needed this place to reconnect and relax. After playing the "Talking Hearts" game, I learned so much of my husband even after 25 years together. Watching the leaves fall, listening to the birds & seeing deer brings a tranquility. Incredible views. delicious food & calming massage = A magical weekend! Thank you. Deanna & Pat
