The Inn at Stockbridge

This inn is truly a work of art. The interior common areas and private rooms are beautifully appointed. Everything is done very tastefully. The grounds are similarly beautiful. In spite of the proximity to the freeway, our room was very quiet.

My husband and I chose Inn at Stockbridge for our getaway to the Berkshires based on all the many positive reviews. The Inn itself, our room, and the property is very nice. It’s a beautiful setting. Where our experience is different from the many reviews I’ve seen has to do with the innkeeper himself who greeted guests each morning at breakfast to ask how everything was going, how was the room, etc. The first morning, I asked if housekeeping would sweep or vacuum the room as it had rained and we had tracked in some debris. He said that they would tidy the room. I asked if that meant a quick sweep of the floors because in the info they had given us, it said tidying meant replenishing towels, making the bed and taking out trash. So I thought my request might be something they don't typically do. But he repeated that they would “tidy”it. I then asked if “tidy” meant sweep or vacuum. And guess what? He replied, they will “tidy” it. My question was pretty simple. His response was off~putting. Housekeeping did clean the floors for us and our room was always well~cleaned. No issues there. So why the cagey response from the innkeeper? I have to add that during breakfast another morning, he went from table to table, asking how things were, and we heard him dismiss what seemed to us to be simple enough issues that a guest might raise. I think when you stay at an inn like this, you have the expectation that the innkeeper will be attentive and hospitable not defensive and offputting. One more issue…. In several places, the Inn says that because they have a liquor license, you can’t bring liquor into your room or on the premises. Fair enough. Those are house rules. During our three night stay though, the bar was not open at all. We came back to the inn on a Friday night, and theBar/lounge was closed.i never saw it open. So why so many references in their materials to their on-site bar if it’s not open? They do have an afternoon cheese and crackers in the bar where you can enjoy complimentary cheese with, I assume, the purchase of a drink but those are limited hours. And lastly, one thing to know if you go in summer and want to enjoy the pool, this inn is sited very close to the Massachusetts turnpike. It is loud when you’re relaxing by the pool. We heard the turnpike noise from our room in the Barn as well.. Look on a map to see the inn’s proximity to the turnpike if you think this might be an issue for you.

My daughter and I came here for one night. The room we stayed in (the Blagdon room) was lovely. The staff members were friendly and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. I would recommend this inn if you are staying in the area!

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 some

First time in the Berkshires. We just spent 2 nights here and I highly recommend this Inn. Location is perfect for visiting all the important destinations . (Lenox for dinner is 7 minutes away) The Inn & rooms are in wonderful condition, and breakfast in the morning felt like being home. Food was delicious. The owners are here and present which is why this place is so special IMO. Always asking if there is anything you need, yet the Inn has lots of privacy. I can see this place working in every season for visits. I know we will be back!

From the moment we drove up to the Inn, we knew we made the right decision to stay here. The front porch is welcoming with rocking chairs and seasonal decor. Once you walk in you will see all the effort the owners take in making this property wonderful. Each room has a different theme. Breakfast is absolutely scrumptious. However, the biggest asset to this Inn are the owners and staff. They will go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. We will definitely return
