Since opening in May 2024, Heirloom Lodge has become our favorite spot in the Berkshires. My partner and I come almost every weekend—it’s the kind of place that just feels good to be in.
Driving up, the restaurant seems to appear out of nowhere, its modern farmhouse design standing out in the landscape. The property is beautifully landscaped, and the spacious gravel lot means we’ve never once had to stress about parking. Inside, the space is stunning—part of the building is an old structure stripped down to its wooden frame, which now adds warmth and character to the dining room. The newer addition, with its open kitchen, chef’s counter, and communal table, feels airy and modern, especially with the huge sliding glass doors that open onto the garden.
But what really makes Heirloom Lodge special is the people. Matt, the owner, is a fantastic human being, and he’s built a team that reflects his energy—talented cooks, a chill wait staff, and bus people who all contribute to the easygoing, welcoming vibe.
The little details set the tone right away, like the Marcona almonds and Castelvetrano olives that come with your apéritif (I don’t drink these days, so I get the kombucha on tap—highly recommend). The farm-to-table menu is thoughtfully put together, offering a prix-fixe option alongside an ever-changing selection of appetizers and entrées. The food is best described as rustic French / Italian—hearty but masterfully executed.
Some of our favorites? The steam oven-roasted chicken with caramelized onions and bread stuffing is pure comfort, and the gnocchi roasted with fennel sausage is the kind of dish you think about long after the meal. The bouillabaisse was a recent standout—unexpected and absolutely delicious.
There’s just something about this place—it’s welcoming, it’s warm, and it always leaves us looking forward to coming back. If you haven’t been yet, go. You’ll see what we mean.
