Back from the Berkshires

If it's Oak & Spruce- it seems that where you get may be the reason for bad reviews. Better bet would be Vacation Village in the Berkshires and even better if you have II at the Ponds at Foxhollow. O & S is rather close to the highway tho.

It is available, but the reviews are bad. I don't know if the reviewers are fussy or it is that bad.

I wrote one of the bad reviews. There are some older units that were pretty bad, but the majority of the place is fine to great. Odds are that you'd end up in a fine unit, and if you request to be moved they will likely accommodate you.

Vacation Village units are uniform and nice. Location is the issue for me - I'd still roll the dice at O n S if I had to choose. Second week in September might be doable at Fox Hollow in II with an ongoing search for 2011.

In answer to the question about getting to the Berkshires from Westborough - we live there, and drive up twice a year to the Ponds at Foxhollow in Lenox. It is an easy drive, just under 100 miles.

I stayed at oak n spruce 5 times from 2000 to 2004. They were adding a new section so I requested those units. They are super cool about requesting certain units so find out the better ones and you should have no problem. the last time i stayed at a new building near the pool. the place has gone alot of changes. I went and saw foxhollow units which i liked. Im not sure what happened with silverleafs but you could always get a cheap getaway or exchane at oak and spruce. .

I am pretty upset

We wanted to visit my son and when they had the $199 weeks there was one at Vacation villages in the Berkshires. but my son said it was a bad time to visit and my sister said she would be out of town. so we decided it would be silly to drive that far and not see family, so we booked Nashville instead.
Well, three days later my other sister mentioned how the whole family is flying out to my sisters for a 60th birthday party. Noone thought to mention it to me, and i had already paid for Nashville. RCI would do nothing for me. So we will be missing out on New England. I am tired of saying "wait til next year"

I never thought I'd like the Berkshires but now I'm thinking I might try it. shaggy
