What Guests Are Saying

“5 stars isn’t enough stars for this place. It’s very rare to find a place with a 5.0 rating. This place exceeds that with flying colors. After a 4-hour bus ride, my partner and I (and my cane and spasmodic back) were excepting to be able to uber 10 minutes from the drop-off to the inn….this wouldn’t have happened lest we paid $60 for an uber (there weren’t even any cab companies in the area)….the innkeepers husband, halo a-glowing, showed up in his chariot and brought us to the inn, in all its grand Victorian home, heartwarming holiday light display, and up to our beautiful room (Greek Isles). We dropped our things off and were invited to a complimentary wine, cheese, and comedy night in the main house…having not eaten anything in hours, we were famished. We were provided some of the most delicious, creative pizza while enjoying an open-mic comedy night. The main house itself is amazing beyond words, with all the comforts of home, and then some (or a lot). This house is a grand Victorian, and one wonders how it was in yesteryear, but every room is amazingly decorated, with wallpaper of dogs, a fireplace, record player…the breakfast room has a 24-hr coffee and soda area, and in all, it’s just so cozy…like the house in all its grandeur is hugging you. One selling point was that this inn has a resident bulldog. At time of print, this review is being overseen by a small stuffed animal version of the host hound, as the real one has yet to be seen. Once we retired to our room, as tired as we were, we took a soak in the lovely jacuzzi, and then flipped on one of most comfortable beds we’ve experienced in a long time. (Remember- one of us is injured and using a cane, so comfort is paramount!) Next morning, we go to the main house to experience the highly-acclaimed gourmet breakfasts mentioned in so many other reviews. ….did.not.disappoint. Gary, one of the innkeepers, went around welcoming every guest as they arrived in the warm, cozy breakfast room, and asked how they were enjoying their stay…this indicates the hosts truly care and are not just doing “table touches.” Breakfast for morning #1 was homemade stuffed brioche/challah with Apple compote, thick cut and incredibly delicious bacon, and a fruit parfait….incredible! Gary told us that the inconvenience experienced involving the surprising scarcity of, and inexplicable cost for, Ubers around this area, is standard, and highly recommended we get a car….worth.every.penny The only problem: we don’t want to leave the inn grounds as they are so charming and beautiful even in the winter, with a frost-covered lawn and herb garden and outdoor pool:…all of this only added to the Norman-Rockwell-esque rural landscapes in the area (note: Norman Rockwells home is less than 10 minutes from the inn). They may not have had a comedy show the second night, but we were cordially invited to another wine-and-cheese hour where we mingled with other inn guests, who were just as relaxed and happy as we were….just something about the true warmth of every part of this inn. We are about to enjoy our last breakfast (but only until our next visit!) and then bid a tearful adieu to this lovely escape-from-reality paradise. We may not always have Paris, but we’ll always have the Greek Isles (and a mini-Brutus). Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful stay!” — Josh, 5 stars

“This was our second stay at the inn. We will be back. This is a nice inn. Rooms are spread between three buildings; we have stayed in the Main House each time. This year, we were in the Blagdon Room, which we loved. Our room had its own heat pump. We stayed for a long Labor Day Weekend. We needed cooling during some days, and heat at night. It was great having the flexibility to set it ourselves. The breakfasts are great. There’s a special each day, or they’ll make eggs to order. We appreciate the 7x24 fresh-ground coffee machine. Lots of places to relax outside the room… at the main house, there’s the “lounge” (living room), a front porch, a back patio, and enclosed porch. We often spend some time in the living room reading in the evening. The owners and the staff are very helpful. In addition to Gary and Nicole, Sherry was terrific. They go out of their way to help. We encountered one issue on this stay; they resolved it promptly, and made it clear how much we were valued. Finally, the location is very convenient. Stockbridge, Lee, and Lenox are all a short drive away; West Stockbridge, Great Barrington, and Pittsfield are also easy to get to. And (if like us) you’re a fan of Tanglewood, the slightly-less-busy Lions Gate lot is a 9-minute drive, and the busier main lot is only a couple minutes more. As I said, we’ll be back.” — Corydoras, 5 stars

“This place was right out of a storybook about a perfect inn, and it really lived up to all the positive reviews. We only stayed here for one night, but felt pampered every step of the way: from the check-in emails we received prior to our stay, to the warm welcome we received from the owners upon our arrival, to the gorgeously cozy room we stayed in, we enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The owners were hands-on at the inn, and it was very obvious that both they and the rest of the staff took great pride in working at this inn. The gourmet hot breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day, and the entire inn was decorated brightly for spring.” — dustythoughts, 5 stars
