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.

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…

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

This is a place where you can really just think about each other. Reconnect, be romantic and just take time for yourselves. Staff make everything super easy! The views are stunning (I love the fog in the morning through the mountains - and the star filled sky at night). Cabin is so well kept and rather luxurious! Resturant was lovely - with its own views! Get to your dinner reservation early and grab a drink in the lounge! You hardly see or hear any “neighbors” just the songs of the birds! They really put a lot of…
Hinata Retreat is a beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed escape. The cabin was cozy and private, the mountain views were gorgeous, and every detail made the stay feel relaxing and special. I especially loved the soaking tub, the quiet mornings, and dinner at The Perch, which was such a lovely part of the experience. Hinata is perfect for a romantic getaway, but it is also an amazing place to go alone if you need time to rest, reset, and enjoy your own company. I would absolutely recommend Hinata Retreat…

Oh, the wildlife was a bonus, greeted by a skunk, watching (& listening to) hawks fly from one spot to the next. Until next time! Ryan & Jill

August 14-16th 2026 Our stay in cabin #8 was comfortable, restful and so peaceful!! The Perch was a wonderful experience. The service, food and dessert were top notch! Hiking the property was an adventure and coming back to relax in the hot tub & unwind was divine. We loved seeing the deer in the field and the beauty of the stars at night. Thanks, Hinata! We will return :) Ashley & Max

8/16-19, 2026 We came from south eastern MA for a belated 25th Anniversary get-away. We were hoping for time to reconnect and recharge and Hinata delivered! We loved everything about our stay. The arrival was seamless and so welcoming with the flower petals, wine and balloon. The delivered breakfast was perfect and they did an amazing job of modifying for my gluten free / dairy free wife. We hiked both days. First day was so nice hiking right on property. Second day we did a strenuous hike to the top of Mt Todd.…

8/11 - 8/14/26 We came here to celebrate 43 years of marriage! Wow did that time fly by! What a special way to celebrate. Cabin 9 is everything - from the rose petals leading to the soaking tub + to the bed to the spectacular view out the back deck! Cabin 9 supplied everything you need to just sit back, unwind + reconnect. The silence (except for nature!) was so peaceful + relaxing. The soaker tub + of course the hot tub was just what these old bones needed!!! Star gazing from the hot tub was spectacular. Saw 5…

8.7.2026 - 8.9.2026 Jen & Jeff & The Hinata Family, Truly AMAZING, there really are no words to express how magnificent this weekend experience has been and it is because of every single touch of care you have put into creating such a beautiful piece of serenity for us to get away from our crazy lives. From the moment Chris made the reservation from the moment we left the service and care is beyond compare. Chris & I were able to leave the world behind reconnect and fall deeper in love. Sometime with our crazy…

8-7 -> 8-9 WAS SURPRISED WITH THIS ROMANTIC GETAWAY FOR MY 40TH BIRTHDAY & FROM THE SECOND WE ARRIVED WE WERE BLOWN AWAY. EVERY DETAIL WAS CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT & EXECUTED. WE ENJOYED A RELAXING COUPLES MASSAGES & DINNER AT THE PERCH BOTH NIGHTS, WHICH WAS OUTSTANDING. THE SERVICE & FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL. OUR FIRST NIGHT WE EXPERIENCED AN UNBELIEVABLE LIGHTNING STORMING WHILE IN THE HOT TUBE. & THE SECOND NIGHT WE GOT TO ENJOY A STARRY SKY FILLED WITH SHOOTING STARS. OUR STAY WAS SO COMPLETELY MAGICAL FROM START TO…

7 AUGUST 2026 HAD A GREAT TIME! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRAIL RIDING AT HOME FARM IN LENOX IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN ADVENTURE. WE ALSO REALLY ENJOYED HIKING THE PROPERTY TRAILS - WENT UP TO AVERY'S CAMP AND DOWN THE MIDDLE LOOP TRAIL. IT WAS ABOUT 4 MILES! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A LOVELY GETAWAY! WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING A RETURN TRIP! Katie + Louis P.S. Take the time to look up at night and get lost in the milky way

I won’t tell you about all the amazing things you will find at Hinata. There are tons of other reviews outlining all of those things and we loved them too. We want to tell you about what you don’t find at Hinata. You won’t find the stress and noise of the daily grind. As soon as we entered our cabin it all just melted away. We will be back every year moving forward. It is our new anniversary tradition. Don’t think twice, just book your stay.
Wow! This is a bucket list, once in a lifetime place to visit. It is truly one of, if not the most, magical places we have ever visited. All of the Google reviews about this place are spot on. The views are incredible (watching the moon rise through the pink, puffy clouds was so cool!)! The cabins are truly a work of art and have everything that you need for a romantic, private, peaceful, rejuvenating experience (hot tub, firepit, soaking tub, kitchenette, double shower heads, incredibly comfortable beds, etc.).…
I did not want to go home! Hinata Retreat was the perfect getaway, and I’m so glad we took the plunge and booked our stay. From the moment we stepped inside our cabin, we were blown away by the thoughtful details and immediately felt relaxed. The website and information provided after booking were excellent and gave us everything we needed to know, so we knew exactly what to expect when we arrived. The cabin itself was the perfect retreat. From the deck overlooking the forest to the hot tub, firepit, and soaking…
If I could rate it a 10, I would!! My partner and I stayed last evening into this morning. We absolutely did not want to leave. We were there to celebrate his birthday and also to simply take a break from the busy schedule life continues to throw out. Hinata was just what we needed. It’s home away from home! It’s captures the ambiance of setting the mood right, the views are amazing, the privacy is superb and the amenities are perfect!!! The hiking trails, trees, birds chirping and the sun truly gave us life!! The…
07/31/26 -> 08/02/26 This place was absolutely amazing. From the breathtaking mountain views to the peaceful atmosphere, everything was perfect. Waking up to such beautiful scenery and ending the night by the fire made our stay unforgettable. It was the perfect romantic getaway for my husband and me. We were able to relax, reconnect, and enjoy every moment together. The cabin was cozy, quiet, and exactly what we needed. We can't wait to come back and make more wonderful memories here. Highly recommend this place…

7/29 - 7/31/26 Cabin 18 - you're the best! This place is magical. We had such a good time. We watched the moon rise last night and were both reminded of the beauty of nature. Waking up and seeing the mist on the mountains was so simple and blissful. Wishing all who came before and all that stay here in the future the BEST time here. Enjoy the place, enjoy each other. With love, Ryan & Kelly

7/29/26 Beautiful stay! Over two days we had 1 of lovely weather + 1 of much rain. We recommend visiting Shelburne Falls, grocery run at McClisters (?) was excellent. Swimming spots at the Mohawk trail are really fun! Otherwise this was an amazing place to be in the rain, which was intermittent so we were even able to use the firepit. We also utilized the hiking trails from this site and chose our own adventure. Even just going to the meadow is very pretty. Of course the hot tub is so wonderful. As is the Hinata…

7/25 — 7/28 2026 27th Birthday! My bf and I are long distance, so technology consumes the entire relationship. Having this opportunity to unwind and be together in nature is beautiful. The place was super cozy (especially the BED!) and the views were incredible. Would highly recommend watching the sunrise and listening to the birds. Thank you to Hinata for this peaceful community and for giving couples a chance to reconnect away for from outside life. — Karrington & Mahari ♥

July 26, 2026 What an amazing weekend. My wife and I needed a weekend away to relax + reconnect. That is exactly what we got! The service + accommodations are 5 star for sure! The cabin has everything we could ever need and more! From the couples massage, to tubing to just relaxing on the deck with a book. Everything was perfect. Thank you for making this an unforgettable weekend and we will be making this a yearly tradition @megan + Sheila P.S. 2 nights is NOT enough!

July 20-23, 2026 We came here to kick off our honeymoon! Our wedding was on the 18th and this place was perfect. It rained our whole first day here which was honestly perfect. The best possible excuse to lay in this comfy bed all day. Everything else was also amazing. The food, the views, the tubs, and surrounding trails were all so much fun. We spent our whole time here recapping our wedding, dreaming about future goals, and joking about how soon we'll be back! Jess + James

July 18-20th We traveled from CT to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary and my husbands 40th and we could not have asked for a better weekend! The downtime and quiet time from 2 very energetic young boys was exactly what we needed! The attention to detail and ambiance was amazing! The food at the perch was terrific - highly reccomend the shrimp toast and gnocchi! also the lemon drop martini was incredible! and the views - breathtaking. Everything about Cabin 9 was perfect! Thank you Jen & Jeff for…

Jen, Jeff, & The Hinata Team 7/17/26 - 7/19/26 Thank you all SO much for making our trip memorable! The quote of the weekend was "how did we do so much but not do anything!" It poured Saturday; opening the screen door and doing a puzzle and resting in the soaking tub was glorious and peaceful. We want to shout-out the robes & fluffy blanket, we plan to seek out a similar one! 100% plan to come back, this trip was exactly what we needed to shut off our minds and unplug together. Thank you!

7/17/26 A huge thank you to the entire Hinata team + warm welcome to the next guests. We wanted a quiet place with a view + small footprint for our honeymoon. Hinata more than delivered. We were able to add an extra night + the service team behind the texts made even a small glitch so seamless. We hope you find the same peace, enjoyment, + connection we did here — get the Shrimp toast @ The Perch! Best thing we've ever eaten! Every detail was so intentional & we were happy to meet our gracious hosts, Jen + Jeff,…

7/12/2026 Hinata Crew, Thank you for creating this getaway spot. Perfect place to celebrate our 16th Wedding Anniversary. Life gets so busy and we truly needed a break. We loved the peaceful views, listening to the birds, star gazing from the hot tub and even yoga on the deck. We had a great time white water rafting at Crab apple. Reality calls, but this will forever be a great memory. Hope to return in the fall season. Jen + Bryan

7/8/26 My husband and I are celebrating our third wedding anniversary, and also in the spur of the moment we wanted to book a getaway to enjoy us, relax in the moment and celebrate parenthood all at once! Hinata did not disappoint at all! It was truly the most perfect, serene getaway - from spending time roasting marshmallows on the deck while the sun setting, soaking in the tub w/ our sparkling wine and being in the moment with each other, we couldn't ask for anything more. We had the best time enjoying us- can't…

Now lets be honest! This is not just a getaway - It's a whole ecosystem. Hinata Retreat is, without a doubt, the best getaway experience we've ever had. Only two hours from Boston, it feels like stepping into another world of peace, nature, and romance. The breathtaking mountain views are unforgettable, the warm athmosphere of the cabin and every thoughtful detail made us feel incredibly special and loved from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was absolutely delicious, with floor-to-ceiling views overlooking…
Most reviews of Hinata focus on the cabins, soaking tubs, and the quiet setting. They’re right, but after spending the weekend there, I realized those aren’t what make Hinata truly exceptional. Social media prepared me for what I would see. It didn’t prepare me for what I would experience. What completely caught me off guard was the level of hospitality. From the moment we arrived, every interaction with Jenn, Jeff, and the entire team felt effortless. Check-in and check-out were seamless. Every detail seemed…
What an absolutely fabulous place! When I found Hinata online months ago, while searching for a special honeymoon destination that offered quiet, privacy, mountain views, breakfast brought to our place, and an onsite restaurant- there it was! Private deck with hot tub, fire pit, mountain vista - it seemed too good to be true! So we booked it… The moment we walked in, we were awestruck - the VIP package included the romantic rose petals, candles, special beverage, wedding- theme balloons… It was better than we’d…
Our two-night stay at Hinata Retreat was nothing short of amazing—and it definitely wasn't long enough. From the moment we walked into our cabin, a sense of calm washed over us. The space was beautifully designed with a dark, moody aesthetic that still felt warm, cozy, and incredibly romantic. Rose petals were scattered throughout the cabin, candles glowed in every corner, Hinata's signature scent filled the air, and soothing zen music played softly in the background. The real showstopper, though, was the view. It…
From Connecticut Dawn & John June 27th - July 4th Cabin 9 has the best views that anyone could ask for, just amazing. We spent our 11th anniversary here and when we arrived we knew that we were in heaven. Hinata provided the rest & relaxation that we needed. we had our breakfast delivered every morning & compliments to the chef for mixing it up every day & it being so good. we ate at the Perch restaurant & the food was delicious. We saw so many different animals onsite in their natural habitat and that was so…

TY Jen + Jeff - 6/30-7.2 2026 :) nice meeting you Well. I'm on facebook and this place came across my feed. I was intrigued. Kept seeing it. Our 1st Ann. was coming up so I booked it! It was a surprise for my husband. Alexa & Jen answered all my questions. I felt that every detail was on point. The instructions didn't leave you wondering how to operate anything. Kudos to creating a RETREAT that you don't have to think about anything and you just enjoying being in the moment. Robyn & Barron Jnelli ♡♡

6/6/2026 Hinata Retreat 10 out of 10! We came here for a two night stay to celebrate our birthdays and were not disappointed. The cabin is perfect. The restaurant is divine. The privacy is important and the views are absolutely stunning. Although we didnt leave as much as we wanted, the solitude of the cabin was too good to give up. We are ending our trip with a couples massage next door. xoxo Jaimie + Brian Mullen Cape Cod, MA

June 22, 2026 I learned about Hinata from a client of mine. I sent the info to my husband and kind of forgot about it. Fast forward to Mothers Day, when my husband surprised me with a weekend get away! I have to say, hands down, one of the most amazing weekends of my life. The special set up when we arrived with chilled white wine, rose petals, candles, & peace. The hot tub was amazing as the sun was setting, the "Perch" was incredible - the artichoke hearts & espresso martinis were on-point! I have zero…
