Circa 1882. Stay at this gracious Victorian inn named after the original Brook Farm, a utopian literary commune. It is centrally located for easy access to all the sites and attractions in the Berkshires. Afternoon tea and scones are offered in the library, sometimes accompanied by poetry readings or storytelling. Gorgeous guest bedrooms that exude a tranquil comfort are tastefully appointed with antiques and period pieces. A hearty breakfast buffet starts the day right. Relax in the gardens or swim in the refreshing pool.
