Swiss Hutte Inn

Their motel lodging is worse than any Motel 6 or any other highway motel. Room– dingy, dark
dank, barley civilized. A single bare lightbulb in bathroom. Dismal at best. Flimsy shower
curtain, no amenities whatsoever. Bed, forget about it.
Try sleeping in the car, it would be superior.\Try something else. Please.
BTW, their food is glorious. Wy does that not carry into the lodgings ???

Uptight staff. Could have more friendly staff. The bar tender is a friendly person though…

Surprisingly good! The décor is way dated… Not cheap, but the food was pretty darn good. A very pleasant surprise.

Very attentive wait staff, excellent food.
We skipped the impressive list of appetizers to save room for dessert.
The list of specials was extensive.
Dessert was second to none.

This place is trying to be a «high society» establishment, but it’s not making it! Ticked me off that being next to a ski resort I couldn’t order an appetizer at the bar that I could recognize. Pretty silly.

We’ve been eating happily at Swiss Hutte for years. It’s consistently good and has wonderful service. The duck is the perfect, as are the wiener schnitzel and roast chicken. If you want something lighter, there are always good fish options. Be sure to have two things: rosti potatoes and one of the over-​the-​top ice cream desserts. (The rosti are a side dish, but vegetarians can get them as a main dish topped with a poached egg on the bar menu.)

A clean, relatively reasonable place to stay in the Southern Berkshires. Pros? The very comfortable beds with traditional eiderdown quilts. The negative? Noisy air conditioner, no water pressure in the shower and very old, small towels. For $ 160 a night, I thought a continental breakfast should have been included, but that’s quibbling. Rooms look out on the Catamount Ski Resort.

I attended a conference near Hudson, NY recently and stayed at Swiss Hutte for three nights. Nobody seems to answer the phone there, but phone messages and emails are promptly returned. There is a pool, a main building with bar and dining room, and a lodge building — double decker motel rooms.
First the lodge building — I love the retro tudor alpine look. The interior décor was dated but room was clean, bed superbly comfortable and all the modern amenities were provided. You enter your room from the rear and the front door goes out onto a private balcony facing the Catamount ski runs — this was pretty in August, but must be spectacular in winter months. The room rate seems high for what is essentially a motel room, but with the upscale bedding and the view, it may be justified.
The pool was smallish but very clean, nice and cool on a hot august evening and had nice landscaping around it.
The main building is terrific, cozy little entry, bar looking out over the ski runs, and several dining areas including an outdoor patio. It would be a great film location, very old school. I had only one dinner there but was extremely satisfied.
I was given a comfortable little deuce with a nice view, and though the restaurant was fairly busy on a Friday night I was greeted right away. I talked over the drinks options with my waitress Stacy and we settled on a blush wine. Stacy brought delectable bread rolls and a little dish of olives, and launched into a long recitation of the specials without looking at her notes. She took great care of me all through my meal.
I had a smoked salmon and trout appetizer which was almost big enough to be dinner, two nice slabs of fish with melba toasts on the side, and an array of finely minced egg yolk and white, onion, and capers to top it with. A dinner salad came with optional blue cheese crumbles — the cheese was great, but the lettuce was a little soggy. Dinner was a scallop and shrimp curry in a buttery sauce with lots of fresh fruit. I had no room for dessert but was pleased to discover the coffee was good — so often when you get a terrific meal you get some Folger’s or burnt espresso afterwards. I spent $ 70 with tax and tip, but to be fair I ate enough food for two people!
The other two evenings I just came down to the bar mid-​evening for a cocktail, eavesdropping a little on nearby tables who were having well-​behaved debates on the election and the stock market. I was well attended to by the bartender Trish and the owner Cindy, who asked about my day and stopped to chat in between taking care of many other customers.
I am a single woman of 50 and commonly feel invisible in hotels and restaurants — but the staff and comfy surroundings at Swiss Hutte made me feel completely at home. I highly recommend it.

We invited friends from the DC area to join us for dinner on Sat. night. The restuarant was at near capacity but we were seated promptly and offered the choice of dining inside or outside. The service was good and the menu one of the most extenisive we’d ever seen. We really relied on our waitress for advice and she was spot on. She highly recommended both of the fish entrees — a fresh swordfish with homemade mango/​pineapple salsa and a halibut Provencal. Each was fantastic! The desserts were incredible and we could not decide among 6 that sounded great and again we relied on her judegment and she didn’t steer us wrong. While the dining room is open until 9pm, the waitresses were busy setting tables at 8:30pm and somewhat oblivious to the fact that people were still dining. In the future, I would just like them to be a bit more aware of their client base.
No wine list or cocktail list was presented when we sat down — management might want to think about offering a list of both since they seem to have an extensive bar. We had vodka gimlets which were very good as was the Chardonnary our guests ordered.

A delight, from beginning to end. We have dined here in both the summer and winter, and have enjoyed every visit. It is like being transported to the Swiss Alps. The food is delicious. Favorites include the Wienerschnitzel, the herring, the raclette, the chicken curry (!), and I could go on and on. Go. You’ll love it.

Best kitchen in the Berkshires, in my opinion. Totally top level cooking by owner/​chef. European slant to menu. Have been here twice during summer months, eating in the lovely outdoor patio, graced by flowers and plantings. Very professional service staff. Someone really cares! A delightful experience overall. I imagine it is cozy during winter months to sit by the fireplace and watch the skiers come off the Catamount slopes. Very worthy establishment.

I’ve never stayed in the motel. The restaurant is lovely, especially during winter (when there is snow). I have been going here for years… it’s always enjoyable.
Super close to Catamount Ski Area– shares the same entrance.
