Travel Planning FAQs

Rooted in the Berkshires is a women’s small-group escape open to guests ages 18 and older. You’re welcome to reserve with a friend or family member or join independently. Roommate requests may be submitted through the traveler information form.

Both options include the complete Rooted experience. Standard Stay includes a traditional bed in a shared guest room. Flexible Stay includes a daybed or cot within a shared guest room and is offered at a lower price. Flexible Stay spaces are limited.

Let us know when you complete your traveler form. We may be able to connect solo travelers who are comfortable sharing, depending on availability. Roommate matching cannot be guaranteed.

A limited number of private rooms may be available for an additional cost. Please contact Katie Andrews Travel before reserving so we can confirm availability and pricing.

Accommodations, included meals, botanical and creative experiences, yoga, workshops and materials, curated recommendations, personal hosting, and a few thoughtful surprises are included. Please refer to the complete What’s Included section for details.

Transportation to and from the Berkshires or independently chosen activities, travel insurance, alcoholic beverages, optional purchases and activities, personal expenses, and gratuities not specifically noted are not included. Katie Andrews Travel can assist with travel arrangements to the area.

Your weekend includes Friday’s welcome reception with a generous spread of appetizers and mocktails, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, Saturday’s fairy-tale garden lunch and dinner in Great Barrington, and Sunday’s picnic lunch at the flower farm.Friday’s reception is an informal grazing experience rather than a seated dinner. If you’d like dinner out afterward, we’ll share local recommendations. Additional dining and beverages outside the included menus are at your own expense.

We will work closely with our hotel, restaurants, and local partners to accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies whenever reasonably possible. Please provide complete details on your traveler form so we can communicate your needs in advance. Because some experiences involve shared kitchens and preparation spaces, completely allergen-free environments cannot always be guaranteed.

No. Rooted is intentionally designed with choice built in. Some experiences bring the group together, while others are completely optional. You’re always welcome to rest, explore, or enjoy the inn instead.

The $300 reservation deposit is non-refundable. Additional payments are subject to the cancellation terms provided during booking. Because our accommodations and experiences are reserved in advance, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes appropriate cancellation coverage.

Rooted will continue in rain or shine. We are arranging indoor or covered alternatives where necessary, and the itinerary may be adjusted to make the most of the weekend.

Alcohol and cannabis are not provided as part of the escape. Guests may responsibly enjoy substances that are legal in Massachusetts while remaining respectful of the group, the inn, neighbors, and established quiet hours. Smoking and vaping are prohibited inside and on the physical building, including the porch. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after themselves and following all property policies.
