We just booked a couple of rooms for next summer, and it reminded me how early people are starting to book now for Tanglewood. These two couples wanted to make sure they locked in a couple of our king rooms at our mid-week discount….which saves them up to 40% compared to the weekend rate. They actually combined 3 nights from the weekend with 3 nights following it to bring their net rate down to $230/night.
