Tennis weekends in the berkshire hills
WELCOME TENNIS PLAYERS AND FRIENDS
We are excited to officially announce our tennis retreats for Fall 2026 at River Run. Come to the Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts for a relaxing weekend at our river-front property with a Har-Tru clay court built by Raphael Wolfe.
Each retreat runs Friday through Sunday for a small group of 4–8 players — everything from group clinics, to round robins, match play, and private lessons (if booked in advance). Plus optional hiking, yoga and swimming!
We can customize the weekend for your own group, or pick a weekend to join a retreat and make new tennis friends.
Three days, two nights, for 4–8 players. Pick your weekend and reserve with a 50% deposit — the balance is due 7 days before arrival.

How does payment work?
A 50% deposit reserves your spot at checkout; the remaining 50% is due 7 days before arrival.What's your cancellation policy? We don't offer cancellations, but you're welcome to find a replacement to take your spot.
What if a weekend doesn't fill? A retreat is confirmed with a 4-player minimum. If a weekend doesn't reach the minimum, we'll help you move to another fall weekend or refund your deposit.
What happens if it rains? All tennis moves indoors to Bousquet Sport — about 40 minutes away, with 6 indoor courts.
I'm booking on my own — will I know anyone? That's the whole idea. Come solo and leave with a crew — our groups are small, welcoming, and easy to slot into.
River Run is an 1815 restored and expanded farmhouse tucked into the woods on the eastern branch of the Westfield river. We are located in the Berkshire hills, 30 min west of Northampton and 40 min east of Lenox.
We can accommodate up to 11 guests in 4 queen bedrooms and 1 king bedroom, with 3 shared bathrooms. The king bedroom can also be set up as 2 twins and a sofabed for up to 3 single players.
We have a cedar hot tub, a firepit in the woods, hiking trails, rivers and lakes for swimming, and the whole Berkshires at your doorstep — Tanglewood, MASS MoCA, Jacob’s Pillow, The Mount, craft breweries, music venues, and more.
