Circa 1885. Poised in the center of Lenox, Massachusetts, just one mile from Tanglewood, The Summer White House is an historic Queen Anne Victorian B&B. Relax on the inviting porch before experiencing the many nearby Berkshire attractions. Wonderfully furnished with fine antiques, the living room boasts American paintings. An assortment of books and a seven-foot concert piano accent the library. Air-conditioned guest rooms are lavishly furnished in a traditional style. Sleep on a four-poster canopy bed in one of the rooms named after notable female political figures. Gather each morning in the sunny dining room for a satisfying breakfast. Explore the surrounding scenic area that offers an incredible four-season beauty with cultural events, music festivals, museums and a variety of outdoor sports activities.
