Log Cabin

Nice spot for events and banquets. I feel like the décor is somewhat dated though. Bartenders and servers are very attentive, however after attending several events here I find the food to be somewhat lacking in flavor.

I recently attended a reception for a funeral service at the Log Cabin and was stunned by the quality of food and service. The food was served buffet style with beautiful presentation and servers that were quick to restock. The service was almost too good — kept places clean and whisked away plates as soon as you looked finished. The staff also helped us set up a slide show.
The views from the windows at this venue are amazing and the outdoor patio looks lovely, though we didn’t get to enjoy it since it was very cold. I highly recommend visiting this place for a meal or considering it as an event space.

This spot isn’t just a normal spot for just dining & such because if there’s a event like «The Big Smoke» via WAQY/​WLZX which also sponsor this this place by far helps a bit of that with the food & ambiance. They do h’or derves which aren’t too bad but each person is going to have their own taste obviously & with the meal with this event you got buffet but this one they do it right & proper from the start whether be spirits or non-​alcoholic you couldn’t go wrong unless you do that yourself. Views when they begin as the sky goes with the sun & on a perfect day you see a far from the mountain you’re on & this also is good for like weddings or such but if weather is rainy or breezy/​cold if you’re not dressed oh boy. Overall «The Big Smoke» is pretty much good & if you get the tickets in advance you get a price break & with that you get three cigars & yes they bring from distributors their selection so if you want different & don’t wish to go into the first bit right away no problem & the price is for that I paid $ 60.00 but worth every penny & you get a shirt to boot. You can call the stations I noted or Cigar Room Two for advance tix but the ways to buy with the stations are online or at the cigar shop with cash. But trust me you won’t be let down unless nature screws up the pooch.

We attended a wedding at the log cabin, the views are amazing but the service is terrible. The site forced guests to wait outside the venue because they were running late, had another wedding going on so during the ceremony the reception could be heard.
The worst part was a waitress quit and walked out during the wedding so dinner service was two hours late and food was cold and some people at the table were served and others weren’t. Guests were having to clear their own drink glasses. The service was horrific!

I threw my best friend a bridal shower a few weeks ago at The Log Cabin’s new outdoor venue «Upper Vista» and I cannot stop thinking about how perfect it was. The view is absolutely breathtaking at this new location and is worth driving up there just to see it for yourself! If you are looking for a unique outdoor venue with a simply breathtaking view then this should be up for your consideration.
I plan events for a living and therefore am an insanely detail oriented person. I warned Beth (our amazing event consultant) of this as soon as we sat down at the first meeting. Also of the fact that I wanted an insanely Pinterest inspired shower and had more pictures of things I wanted then I could fit in one email to her.
She did nothing short of delivering me perfection on every single detail. The day of was absolutely how I envisioned and I cannot say thank you enough to all of the wonderful staff. I must have asked Louie (the supervisor) 3 times to move the gift table and each time he told me not to worry and that he didn’t mind.
Lastly, the food was perfect. I told Beth that I wanted finger foods and girly sandwiches and appetizers to go with my vintage ladies luncheon theme, and that’s exactly what I got. Fruit in beautiful champagne glasses, the delish Savanah Belle salad in cute little cups, and of course their famous turkey burgers cut into fours and topped with fried onions at a chef attended station! Not only was the food perfect, the staff as sweet as can be, and the venue to die for, but the staff even shaped the cupcakes into the letter of the last name my best friend would be taking and it truly made my day!

A delicious brunch was eaten here by me. My GF’s family invited me and I was excited to partake. The valet parking was certainly a plus. There were many stations to enjoy at our 2p reservation time. I dove into the breakfast bar first having scrambled eggs sausage bacon and potatoes. 2^nd trip was to the carving station were I gave into temptation and selected bothe the prime rib as well as the roast turkey. All was amazing with no shortages and the wait staff was extremely attentive and fast

My husband and I were just married here over labor day weekend in 2014. We chose the Log Cabin after looking/​inquiring after a number of venues in and around Boston (where we live). The Log Cabin was reasonably priced, clearly had good service, and (as anyone who has ever been there can tell you) is absolutely gorgeous, set on the side of Mount Tom in Holyoke. The owner of the venue (as well as The Delaney House and The D. Hotel), Peter Rosskothen, helped us every step of the way. He guided us through the process– there were a lot areas where we didn’t really know what we doing– and his vast experience in planning events helped immensely to decide what was/wasn’t important for our day. He was very flexible with our ever-​changing requests, and was always only an email/​phone call away. The planning process was so easy– and I honestly felt totally secure in relying on his expertise for the day.
The service was impeccable– we had a person designated to coordinate for our day (Josh– who helped coordinate vendors, staff, etc– and was AMAZING), and our own personal waiter for the night of, to make sure we ate and never had to go ourselves to the bar. The waitstaff and bartenders were so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing– and we were consistently complimented on its quality. Clearly, these people know what they are doing.
Even at the end of the night, they took care of wrapping everything up for us, so that I, nor my mother or sisters, had to worry about making sure we had everything we needed to take back with us.
My favorite part of the venue is the outside– a lot of our party enjoyed the opportunity to escape the loud music inside and sit out by the fireside enjoying a cocktail with a view. At the end of the day, the beautiful view, spacious outside, and open air are what made us choose The Log Cabin. We definitely chose well, and are still getting compliments on the venue.
Thank you to Peter, Josh, and everyone who made our day so easy and stress-​free! We had so much fun, and are so grateful to all of you!

Went there for easter brunch, and i have to say, was one of the worst and most expensive brunches i have ever had. From the cold coffee, to the frozen eggs benedict, all for 32.00, and lets not forget the prime rib that tasted like leftovers from a wedding two weeks ago. They couldn’t even heat the food up right. I was shocked, by this beautiful place with very low quality food. The service was just as bad, nobody to clear plates, nobody to serve coffee, cold mini bagels. Have had better food at a diner. Place was packed, another food factory with little passion

Today I spent the majority of my day at the Log Cabin for a conference and have to say that I really enjoyed the experience. The interior of this building is well designed and it has a lot of amazing touches that made the day comfortable.
The conference space itself was large and the chairs were comfortable. The bathrooms were well maintained and the main areas were filled with more comfortable chairs and fireplaces. I felt as though I was at a luxury hotel rather than a meeting space.
The staff here was incredible. They took care of everyone’s needs, and went out of their way at one point to find me Spenda for my coffee. The pastries and snacks they provided throughout the day was delicious, and their coffee was great. The only downside to the food was lunch. Some of the lunch items were phenomenal while others were not as good. My favorite was the Mahi Mahi as well as their bread sticks.
This location also had a great outdoor area that provided a nice space to relax when not in the conference. Overall, this is the best place I have been to a conference and have to say that I will try and attend more conferences at this location. I can see why people do their weddings and other celebrations here.

I came here for my company’s holiday Christmas lunch-​in. There was valet parking as soon as we came up. Which was great, because I was not in the mood for walking. We were able to check our coats in as soon as we came into the door. Everything about the place was beautiful. I bet it’s gorgeous in the summer.
They had a snack table, with a decent amount if fresh cheeses, crackers, veggies, fruit and dips. There were dessert tables all over the place and a manned bar. The tables sat 10 people at each table. We had about 370 attend. It was packed. As we sat there, they continuously filled our water cups. We were served a fresh salad and Olive Garden grade breadsticks (yum!!!)
Once it was our tables turn at the buffet line, there was a selection of fresh fruit, veggies, pasta salad, salad, prime rib, pork chops, chicken, veggie lasagne… It was all really good. There was pies, ice cream, pudding, jello at the dessert tables.
The only bad thing was that it was freezing cold! Lol. I would definitely come to an event here. It’s gorgeous!

Attended a wedding here and it was really nice. The vibe is very laid back and modern. The food was excellent. Staff were great. All around a very nice experience!

Had our 9÷29÷12 wedding there and it was perfect. Chad, our planner, and all the other staff there that day did an amazing job. Felt very taken care of throughout the entire planning process, and on that day. They made planning a wedding easy and enjoyable. Guests commented on how great the food was, how personable the staff was, and how beautiful the venue was. Couldnt have asked for a better day!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here on June 23. From start to finish, The Log Cabin was amazing.
The facility itself is very nice — the view is what makes it. Our room (Southampton) overlooks the valley and the sunset poured in the windows (when the opened the shades so we wouldn’t be blinded) and was gorgeous! The room and adjacent patio were so beautiful and spacious. The wood bar area in our room was a great touch. The ceremony space overlooks the valley, too. The flowers were understated and just perfect on the stone altar.
The staff is tremendous! Chad was our coordinator and he was so awesome. He guided us through the process of planning and was incredibly helpful. Tori was our day-​of coordinator and she was calm the whole time and kept everything running smoothly and was adaptable to our schedule (within means — she did keep us on track!). Our lead server was Keith and he was spectacular! What a great guy. He tended to the wedding party and remembered what all of us was having. He was so attentive without being overbearing. Everyone at the Log Cabin was so professional, even the front office staff when we dropped off our centerpieces and escort cards.
The food was so good. One friend said at our afterparty that he wished the food hadn’t been so good because his pants no longer fit. We could completely customize our menu (we had a tomato-​mozzerella-​basil salad for our starter… our favorite! AND it was sooooo good!) and had FOUR (yes FOUR) entrée options. Where else can you get that?! The passed hors d’oeuvres were so good, and the chef chose a couple in addition to the ones we picked. His choice of mini philly cheeseteaks ended up being the biggest hit of the cocktail hour. The Log Cabin included cake in our package. We chose chocolate cake with white chocolate-​raspberry filling. It had real raspberries in the filling… not jam or whatever. It was such good cake and it was beautiful! We were so pleased. Plus, it was served with a vanilla crunch ice cream with raspberry sauce (our choice) that was rumored to be very good (we didn’t have any because we were dancing our butts off).
One of the best parts about The Log Cabin is that they take care of everything after the wedding. We will go pick up all of our centerpieces that we brought later this week. I always get annoyed when I’m in a wedding and I have to round up centerpieces at the end of a wedding… who wants to do that at the end of the night?
All in all, between the view, the facility, the staff and service, and the food, The Log Cabin was a real winner. Our day was so amazing, and everyone in attendance said it was the best wedding they’ve been to (even those people who NEVER say that kind of thing).
We thought it was pricey when we started, but now that we’re all done, we think we got waaaay more than our money’s worth! We wish we could do it all again!

When my little brother told me he was getting married at «The Log Cabin» he was quick to follow with a, «but it’s not like, you know, like maple syrupy, it’s wicked nice, and the people are awesome. I really think you’ll like it!» I really did like it, and the people were AMAZING.
The venue is really beautiful, the grounds and the view are spectacular and the food was really good.
This review is about Jimmy. I was a bridesmaid in this wedding. Jimmy was server to the bride, groom, the bridal party, and i think the parents for the entire event, and to call him a server is a great injustice. He made sure my glass was never empty, that I was always where I needed to be, and at one point HE BROUGHT MY SHOES ON A TRAY. «Miss, they’re going to take another photo.»
My date was away from the table when they started to bring out appetizers of tomato salad. Starving as he was, he would rather die than eat a tomato. I asked Jimmy to see if he could bring out some bread for him to eat, or anything else at all. Jimmy won again when my man came back to find a the most delicious pumpkin soup at his spot.
I’m pretty sure Jimmy would have held my hair back if it had been required, but as he was bringing the drinks, he was also in control of my intake. This may have been his finest accomplishment.
I was one of many people in his care, and we all felt as if he was our personal attendant. He made everyone’s day and evening very special, and the entire bridal party was smitten. At the end of the night as everyone was winding down, the groomsmen chanted JIMMY! JIMMY! as if he had made the winning touchdown.
If you plan your wedding or event at the Log Cabin, you will be very lucky to have Jimmy on your team.

I have always had good experiences here. The reason for the event may have been sad but the staff here went out of their way to make it as happy as possible. I highly recommend their chicken marsala.

Absolutely horrendous for a function (perhaps other than a wedding?). Accompanied a senior group for a «Clambake» special ($ 60) which consisted of a weird clam chowder, overcooked and chewy barbeque pork ribs, overcooked and dried out barbeque chicken, baked potato, corn nibblets and overcooked and chewy lobster.
Service was horrible. We ended up clearing the tables ourselves. The highpoint was the entertainment. Can’t imagine having a wedding here unless they bring in food from outside.

My husband and I had our wedding here in October 2010 — our families both live in the area — and we are so glad we did!
I had heard good things back when I was looking, and although it might not look like much from the street, we were both really won over by the scenery of the ceremony site, which is a hilltop vista overlooking the Pioneer Valley.
But it didn’t stop there, their service was also fantastic. They had plenty of drool-​worthy menu items to choose from that came out just as good as they sounded. They had plenty of vegetarian options and even accommodated for a vegan diet. I wont even get into the popularity of the Oreo cookie covered ice cream dessert. I didn’t get a chance to have cake, but it looked beautiful — since we out having pictures taken during the sunset. We’ve had nothing but compliments on everything!
The only daunting moment was the paperwork of getting all of the vendor information and the event play-​by-​play, but it’s all worth it. They run the show the day of the event so we could just sit back and enjoy the day. They did such a smooth job in fact that we didn’t even know that the vendor we paid to set up our seat covers decided not to show on time, until we were on our way home from the honeymoon. When my mom told me that our event coordinator asked her if it was OK for them to go ahead and use their own seat covers. When we called to follow up, they had already worked out payment out with the vendor.
The place looked amazing, the food was great, the service was exceptional. We would recommend this to anyone who wants a stress free event and some of the nicest scenery New England has to offer.

Came here for a wedding in June. At first I was wary because the location does indeed look like a cheesy log cabin from the outside.
However, the inside is surprisingly classy and well decorated. The valets, waiters, and hosts are all polite and attentive.
The bride and groom used the Log Cabin to cater the dinner. I had a bruschetta appetizer, cheesy breadsticks, beautiful racks of lamb, and a vanilla wedding cake. All of it was delicious and tasted like it came froma real restaurant, not like 1 of 400 plates of food.
The backyard has a brilliant view of the wooded valley– a lovely backdrop for an outdoor wedding.

I have been here for weddings and most recently, for a benefit dinner. I have to say that both times I was not disappointed. The food was great, the service was very good and the view was very cool. It is a pretty big facility and is worth looking into if your planning a reception or other big event.

I attended a conference here today and it was a very nice facility. Looks like a «log cabin» from the outside with many added on additions.
Nestled on the slope of Mt Tom, this rustic banquet house fits into the landscape without instusion.
Parking is out front, side sloped, as well as up on a steep hill above the facility. Not the best set up for elders or wheelchairs, the w/​c ramp is off to one side of the steps, but not well marked.
Inside was clean and spacious. The food was better than expected.
It looked as they have some nice outdoor areas off the banquet room. I could only see a tad bit off the view as it was a rainy and foggy day but I am sure that it is spectacular on a clear day.
I could see many gay weddings happening here.
