GREATHORSE Dining After entering GREATHORSE through the east porte cochere on the upper level, you move past a stone fireplace, glimpse the Chihuly sculpture in the rotunda, and find a stairway with an iron railing forged to replicate the look of rope that will lead you down to the lower level. At the base of the stairs, you are welcomed by a stone water feature. Your choices at this point are to go left to enter the main dining room, veer right into the bar or continue down a corridor lined with a curated art gallery to the pro shop. The main dining room was designed to create a private dining experience in a large open room. This has been achieved by dividing the room into smaller dining spaces with low height walls and hideaway niches, such as the inglenook with its two rounded booths near the fireplace to create a perfect space for an intimate meal. The bar and dining room both lead out to the west terrace with its magnificent views of the golf course and the Berkshires in the distance. Dining service is available on the terrace for three seasons. When the weather becomes cooler, the 6 foot diameter fire pit keeps diners warm and five large flat screen TVs installed on the exterior of the building display sporting events throughout the day. Building Information: - Materials used in on the dining level are more rustic with the concept that these spaces would feel like a comfortable worn leather boot - The art gallery in the lower hallway is a portion of the owners’ collection with photos of horses and family members celebrating at races - There are private wine lockers on each side of the inglenook and in the hostess area NEW ENGLAND DESIGN .
