Inkeepers Notes

We hope you'll join us at our lovely historic home and give us the opportunity to make your stay in the Berkshires a memorable one. While our home is steeped in history and comfortably furnished with antiques, we have taken steps to ensure your comfort in all seasons. In the warmer months enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside, sitting on the covered porch and gazing at the lovely grounds and surrounding mountains. In the cooler months, the large great room hearth acts as a magnet, as our guests relax in front of the fire while enjoying some of JoAnn's homebaked cookies or a glass of wine. Living in an historic home and an area so full of natural beauty and culture has been a life-long dream for us. Come for a visit and see why so many of our guests return again and again.
