Rumored to have been a brothel and speakeasy during the great depression, The Dream Away Lodge has been a Berkshire legend for close to a hundred years. This two-hundred year-old farmhouse tucked away at the edge of October Mountain State Forest is renown for its colorful place in Berkshire history. It’s original, larger than life founder, Mamma Maria Frasca created an oasis of cocktails, food and drink in the middle of nowhere. Her three musically talented daughters helped her operate the restaurant and entertain the room. The 1975 visitation by Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg and the Rolling Thunder Review, led to the Dream Away’s prominent role in Part Two of Dylan’s epic film Renaldo and Clara–enhancing an already unmatched reputation as one of Berkshire County’s best loved and most closely held hilltown secrets. From 1997–2020 actor, Daniel Osman (also larger than life) owned and stewarded the Dream Away with a locally sourced menu, fine cocktails and entertainment every night. Post pandemic, the Dream Away changed hands and is now run by Dan Giddings, Scott Levy and Sheryl Victor Levy who promise to carry on the legend into the future. Daniel Osman returns as the Special Events Maestro and Amy Loveless returns as Executive Chef.
