The Inn at Stockbridge

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.

This was our 2nd visit to the Inn at Stockbridge and we continue to LOVE it. Excellent Bed and Breakfast Wonderful accommodations and delicious daily breakfast always with something scrumptious. Rooms lovely and very comfortable The staff is excellent and the owners Gary and Nicole are great. I highly recommend the Inn at Stockbridge

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.

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.

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
