It seems like every time of year is "in season" in Lenox, a small Berkshire town that has been a popular retreat since the 19th century. In summer, picnic on the lawn at Tanglewood, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home. In fall, when foliage peaks, take to the hiking and biking paths of the Pleasant Valley Sanctuary to immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of the mountains. Winter visitors enjoy skiing at a number of resorts and cross-country trails, and in spring, hikers and golfers practice their pastimes in splendid settings. Rejuvenating treatments and pampering, at the well-known Cranwell Spa, are favored all year long.

The Cornell Inn is a classic bed and breakfast, completely re-imagined. Featuring stunning, contemporary designer rooms in three 130-plus year old buildings, the Inn offers a gourmet, table served breakfast; a spectacular tavern; unbelievably delicious coffees, lattes, cappuccinos and espressos; and, depending on the season, fresh home-made ice cream, or warm cider with cinnamon, and, in the evenings, cognac. All rooms come with their own walk-in showers, Keurig machines, cable TV and private bathrooms. Many of the rooms have a fireplace and private balconies. All rooms also have air conditioning, mini-fridges, irons, ironing boards and flat screen TVs. Our team is devoted to giving our guests an amazing experience in the Berkshires!
We stayed at the Cornell Inn for 3 nights. The inn has been completely renovated, and is very up to date and welcoming. The grounds are lovely--from the waterfall and koi pond to the grassy area where you can play a game of croquet. Tables are all around the pond on an outside patio. You can enjoy breakfast there, as well as your delicious, HOMEMADE sangria that greets you when you arrive! Lovely to sit outside with your (also complimentary), brandy in the evenings. There is a basket of cozy blankets available to use if you feel a little chilly. Nice common area with a fireplace, and a separate bar room that has a puzzle on a puzzle table that you can sit and work on while you enjoy a cocktail. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed. We had a complimentary bottle of local wine in our room, and a well stocked coffee bar. Shower was a good pressure, and not a measly trickle that is so common now. The breakfast is outstanding! Not just bagels and coffee here! This is a full sit down breakfast with a variety of excellently made options each day. Fritata was light and fluffy, great french toast, and choice of sides. You can also have a latte or cappuccino if that makes your heart happy :) There are warm brownies (Gasp!) available at any time, as well as a variety of teas. Owner and staff were friendly, helpful and genuinely wanted to please their guests. Easy, short drive into Lenox, and close to other Berkshire towns. Just a wonderful, wonderful stay @ the Cornell Inn! Would highly recommend you go for a few days.

Overall this hotel is clean and comfortable with wonderful staff members. The keyless entry, works like a charm. The morning breakfast is typical – make your own waffles, scrambled eggs, yogurt. A few things to note: - the windows do not open (so no listening to the very beautiful sound of the tree frogs out of the pond) - there are no microwaves in the room, but I understand they are available upon request - The end room refrigerator has no temperature control so you get what you get for temperature. The refrigerators also do not have a freezer section to them, so no refreezing you’re traveling ice packs I have stayed at this hotel numerous times. And regardless of where my room is it remains very quiet at night. Occasionally you may hear people in the hallway but never excessively noisy. The location is very convenient. You can easily walk to Price chopper, Marshalls, CVS, the wonderful wine and cheese store.

Seven Hills, set on 27 acres of lush lawns and stunning gardens, is ideal for year-round vacations, romantic getaways, destination weddings, family reunions, and corporate events. This Gilded Age Mansion, located in the heart of the Berkshires, invites you to enjoy the luxuries of a time long since passed. With a comprehensive renovation underway, we look forward to introducing the re-imagined Seven Hills in the late winter of 2019.
We stayed here April 2022 just for one night to the Berkshires to do some sightseeing and hiking. First thing we encountered upon arrival was a difficulty finding the door to go inside. Sounds silly but It’s just a big brown door hidden by vines and there’s no entrance sign. Pictures online look a LOT better than this place does in person. It’s a very old building and its age shows — a bit dingy and dirty with peeling paint and unkept grounds — building and grounds need TLC. We booked the Carriage House which is not in the main building, but more like an old roadside Motel that has undergone a superficial cosmetic remodel. The main building has a lot of character, but as I said earlier it could use some TLC. I always stay top floor if possible because I hate hearing footsteps overhead — so when the front desk person asked if a ground floor was ok I said “as long as you don’t put anyone right above us”. She said no problem, we are usually very empty on Sundays. When we got to the room we found it to be very clean and pretty nice. Bed was comfortable and linens were clean. An hour after we were all settled in and enjoying a glass of wine we heard our neighbors stomping around overhead. UGH!! At that point it was too difficult move rooms so we dealt with it. The stomping woke us several times that night as late as 1am. Place was understaffed (time of year or COVID coulfd be the culprit there so we understood. When I went to check out I had to walk all around the entire main building to finally find somebody in the back kitchen to settle my bill. Breakfast was minimal (coffee, muffins and bagels). Overall you can’t beat the price. Room was clean and comfortable and more than adequate accommodations.

We stayed here for one night and had a great experience. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the room was very modern and had everything you could need. Its in a great location close to restaurants and grocery store 5 mins by car. Also 5 mins drive away from Lenox which has some great breakfast places and nice small shops. Would 100% recommend and wish we could have stayed longer.

This was our first time staying at the Berkshires. We weren’t sure about anything but so glad we found this place. It was very clean, comfortable, had beautiful decor, was nice and quiet, and I don’t think we could have stayed at a better place.

Bed comfortable with nice bedding, and the room was clean and very pleasant. It was basic, though, and bathroom small, for the price. The only furniture in my room besides the bed was a pair of bedside tables, a small dresser with the TV on it, and a straight back chair. Hmmm. The bar is really nice though, and I had a very enjoyable light dinner there, sitting outside. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

I wouldn’t change a thing! From booking to breakfast, we were warmly (and safely) welcomed, treated to a comfortable stay in a charming room, and fed a delicious breakfast before making our way home. You have managed to preserve the best of the B&B experience while taking care to keep guests safe. Your home was beautifully and festively decorated, our room had everything we needed, your recommendations were spot on, and we appreciated the Lenox historic mansion tour text you put together to give additional layers of meaning to our brief stay in your neck of the woods! Thank you so much! We hope to come back soon! Elizabeth Mosier St. Davids, PA
