My husband and I just returned from our second stay!! Beautiful property and room # 14, immaculate, lovely linens and peaceful private porch. A Perfect Getaway Place. The staff and management are very accommodating. Breakfast is of course a real treat!!! The fact that is an very easy walk into the village of Lenox for shopping or dining is real plus. We feel sure anyone would enjoy their time here!!!

We loved our stay at the Garden Gables Inn which was a nicely decorated and comfortable place to start our getaway for a week. Service from the staff and made to order breakfasts were fantastic. The Inn is on a large property located a few blocks from Church Street and all of Lenox's restaurants. Its a quiet main street and there are several great restaurants. The Inn is located near great hiking in the Berkshires.

A beautiful peaceful spot. All staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Great layout with 2 cosy reception rooms, large breakfast room and sunny breakfast porch and out side patio. Also a consistently well stocked "kitchen" area with home made cookies, muffins, coffee etc. We stayed in rm 5... Beautifully appointed if a little on the small side. VERY clean with ample towels and high end toiletries. Queen bed was extremely comfortable. Inclusive breakfast was delicious with many options... And all Portmeirion crockery. Great location... 5 minute walk into downtown Lenox We only stayed for two nights. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back

We stayed at the Garden Gables for three nights. The house, garden and surrounding area is beautiful, quiet and cozy. The rooms are clean, beautifully decorated and ours even had a jacuzzi. When we had breakfast in the Wintergarten in the mornings we could see squirrels and woodpeckers outside. The breakfast was outstanding with a menu of around ten different meals in addition to a little buffet. My husband and I collectively tried more than half of the dishes and loved all of them. Specifically recommend the home made granola. Victoria, Quinn and the rest of the staff were super friendly and attentive, caring and giving great recommendations for activities and places to visit. You could find little complementary snacks scattered all over the house. In short, I have nothing bad…

This was our second stay at Garden Gables and we enjoyed it thoroughly! John and his daughter Victoria were both very warm and welcoming. we stayed midweek and pleasantly had our room upgraded to a larger room. Breakfast was as delicious as we remembered and they were very accommodating regarding timing as we wanted to be up early to spend a full day on the slopes. Looking forward to our next winter getaway!

Visited Garden Gables Inn for a long weekend with some friends. Our room had a comfortable king size 4 poster bed, was very clean, had a large bathroom and jacuzzi tub. The location was excellent and walkable to most restaurants. The host(s) were warm and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent using fresh ingredients well cooked and seasoned. Looking forward to returning soon!

Everything is genuine here, from the warm friendly hospitality of the innkeepers and staff, to the authentic charm and character of the 1780's inn, to its comfortable furnishings and clean rooms, to its idyllic Berkshires location. We enjoyed 4 nights and 4 mornings of delicious breakfasts made-to-order. Relaxing by the fireplace in the living room and chatting with other guests and the innkeepers was wonderful. The personality of this historical one-of-a-kind, the Garden Gables Inn, made for a delightful visit.

We had a great two-night stay at the Garden Gables. John and his daughter Victoria were the ultimate hosts. They remembered small details and gave great recommendations for local activities. Our suite was spacious and beautifully decorated as was the rest of the inn). The breakfast choices were all tempting and the quality of the food was excellent.

Although a beautiful Well maintained Inn, we did not feel welcome. We arrived 45 min early which we apologize for. The inn keeper was extremely stressed because an employee quite a few days before. She was clearly left holding the bag and made sure we knew it. There was no attempt made to make us feel welcome. She left her cell number but then told us to only use it if there was an emergency. She was very clear that she was not going to be on call 24 hours a day. Our room was quite small but spotlessly clean. We were mildly upset because the bathroom sink and counters were exceedingly low obviously intended for a child. Our room was Annie’s room. We should have been informed of this odd bathroom issue prior so we could have decided if that was important to us. However it…

The Inn is warm and inviting, innkeeper was pleasant and helpful. She (Amanda) even shoveled out my car after an unexpected 6" snowfall. Room was cozy and well appointed. I went to commemorate our 55th anniversary, stayed here in 2017 for 51st. Wife passed away in 2020.

My husband and I first stayed here in November 2019 (remember that sweet pre COVID-19 life) and loved it so much we went back, and plan to go back again and again for years to come. We stayed in a cozy cottage room with skylights and a fireplace both visits. Breakfast is included and amazing. The menu had a lot plus there were specials. We had eggs Benedict, corn beef hash, lemon ricotta pancakes, a breakfast panini… all delicious. The owners of Garden Gables also own Hiltop Orchard, about 10 minutes away and guests of GG receive a free cider or wine tasting. We decided to check it out and had a blast! Knowing we were staying at the Inn they certainly spoiled us. They have the most delicious cider donuts and some really delicious ciders. It was raining so we didn’t get to pick…

We spent five nights here and had a great stay. We stayed in a jr suite which featured a plush and quite comfortable king size bed. A sitting area to relax , refrigerator, flat screen tv and a spacious bathroom completed this lovely space. Breakfast featured a variety of choices including country breakfast, pancakes, French toast, waffles, oatmeal. Fresh fruit, muffins and juice were also offered. It was delicious! The Inn practiced Covid safety - masks at all times in Inn except when eating. Daily housekeeping had been suspended but whatever you needed was provided. Individually wrapped homemade chocolate chip cookies were a nice treat each day. The Inn is in a great location- walking distance to town and great restaurants. Highly recommend staying here!

We had the most wonderful stay at the Garden Gables Inn, and recommend this inn so highly to anyone looking to stay in Lenox. We stayed here for two nights in September for our babymoon and it was perfect. Where do I even begin? The inn itself is adorable - quaint, clean and comfortable! We stayed in Room 15 (it was perfect - super comfortable four post bed, plenty of space for two people, private little deck overlooking the backyard and pool, fireplace). All the rooms have L’Occtaine products which was such a nice treat too!! The daily breakfast at the inn was so yummy, and they have candy, nuts, fruits and these INCREDIBLE homemade chocolate chip cookies for the guests. The staff was so friendly and accommodating - anything you need they had. Rosie and Ashley were awesome - we…

My husband and I , along with another couple just came back from several nights here. It was a really wonderful experience. The Staff, especially the Innkeeper, Josie and her right hand, Amy made sure 'everything' was in order ever single day. The Inn is beautifully decorated and immaculately maintained. We would highly recommend Rm #15, spacious and charming...and the porch is a perfect touch. From the ample breakfast to the Sherry in the evening, this is a special place.

Fantastic 5 day stay at the Garden Gables Inn! We loved the big, immaculate room and delicious breakfast as well as the amazing location! Walking distance to restaurants, galleries, hiking in Kennedy Park, and a short drive to many other amazing hikes that we thoroughly enjoyed. We also loved the complimentary wine tasting and cider donuts at the Hilltop Orchards and Furnace Brook winery. Can’t wait to come back!!

My mother and I really enjoyed our stay at the Garden Gables Inn. Not only did they have a delicious quaint breakfast but the rooms were immaculate. They took great Covid precautions as well. The inn is located in a great central location. As customers staying at the inn, we got a free wine tasting and apple cider donuts at the Orchard nearby (which they own). Great trip to Lenox!

When I decided to propose to my Long time girlfriend I needed to find a special place to do it. In 2015 my then girlfriend and I stayed at the garden gables inn,in one of the cottages and we had a wonderful weekend it was quaint,quiet and relaxing. Fast forward 5 years I thought this would be a great place to propose. When I booked the room online I left a note for the innkeeper explaining what I had intended to do and she, through the kindness of her heart decided to upgrade my room to one of the suites in the second floor of the main building at no charge. Needless to say I was very happy with that and I also ordered the anniversary special which they rebranded the proposal special to try to make it as nice as possible without spoiling the surprise. Ie; Chocolate covered…

We stayed at the Garden Gables Inn during Covid, but being MA residents we felt safe with all the precautions they're taking. They had hepa filters in every room, sanitized regularly, and required mask if in common area. We were fortunate to have most of the inn to ourselves as sadly business is much slower than usual due to the covid situation. We stayed in Room 3 because it has a 2 person heart shaped jetted tub. It was lovely. The in room wall based gas fireplace was on the fritz but we were able to enjoy one of the 2 large fireplaces in the common areas (large living/dining room with panio). The inn keepers were super attentive to whatever needs we had, and gave us 3 phony logs to light in the main fireplace. Icannot say enough about how nice and accomodating the staff…

Grounds are beautiful and well kept. Good location in Lenox. Cottage rooms are charming with a working fireplace and comfortable beds, albeit a bit rustic. They are also quiet. The bathrooms need an update and plumbing is quirky, but it was fine for 2 nights. It would be nice to have blackout curtains as the light from the lamps outside come in throughout the night. The breakfast is delicious. Amanda, the Chef, cooks everything to perfection, and you can order more than one dish. They’re very accommodating. Last breakfast seating is at 9:30am, which was a little early for us but you get to enjoy the day. The sunroom is lovely. Everyone at the Inn is friendly, personable and extremely helpful. It’s a family ran business and you can tell they care for each other. Perks:…

In late February 2020, my boyfriend Alexander and myself stayed at this lovely B&B. From arrival and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to departure and kind, warm farewells, this B&B made us feel at home. The breakfast was delicious, the amenities modern and the furnishings had character and charm. Loved the cathedral ceilings - made the room feel spacious. Location was perfect, very quick walk to the town which was all the more valuable granted it was chilly outside. All the restaurant and activity recommendations we received exceeded our own expectations. For instance, dinner at Alta Restaurant & Wine Bar was exceptional (and we know our nice restaurants.) Every evening after dinner we could enjoy the fireplace and just relax (much needed - especially for a triathlete…

My husband and I have stayed at many wonderful inns during our visits to Lenox over the past 20 years but are so glad we decided to try somewhere new and discovered Garden Gables Inn. From the moment I spoke with Rosie over the phone to book my room, I knew we had found the perfect place for our winter and fall visits. As soon as we arrived we felt like we were visiting old friends; and, Rosie, Ashley and Amy couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. Every nook and cranny in the Inn is spotless and just so charming. Hard as we tried, we couldn't find fault with anything. The snacks and breakfast were amazing and served in such a lovely garden room and my husband has ranked Rosie's Apple Strudel French Toast his "all time favorite breakfast ever" - Thanks for…

We hope you have been well - and we do hope to see you on a future visit. All the best to you from the Garden Gables Inn!
This B&B is charming yet high quality, clean, and had modern amenities and furnishings throughout the rooms and property. We stayed in 14 and 15 in the main house and the rooms were spacious with nice bathrooms, fire places, king sized beds, balconies, and a small sitting room with a couch. We arrived later then check in so the front desk put our keys in the front so we could still get in late at night. The fire place was a lovely touch in the winter and the breakfast was great. The location was near enough to downtown to walk and close to other towns in the Berkshires. I would definitely come back here.

To be upfront I am not a big Inn person, I like midsize hotels. That being said I really enjoyed staying at the Garden Gables Inn. It is on the larger size as far as Inn's go. It is perfectly located on the edge of the village of Lenox. The rooms are nicely decorated with good amenities. The breakfast was made to order with great options and was delicious. We visited in the winter so we did not get to enjoy the outside grounds of the Inn which looked very nice. The Inn owns a winery in a nearby village and offer complimentary tastings as an Inn guest; that was a major bonus and we really enjoyed that experience. Even if you don't like wines produced in the Northeast of the U.S. it is a great visit because they make apple cider products as well with apples from their own…

I seriously would go back in a heartbeat... I was sad to leave. The Inn is beautiful and tastefully decorated. One room is more beautiful than the next and they are immaculate! Rosie and the entire staff is beyond amazing.They are kind, gracious, and are ready to meet your every need. The breakfast is spectacular as are the freshly made cookies and muffins.

I can’t remember how many years we’ve been coming to Lenox for the 4th of July. For all but one of them, we’ve stayed at Garden Gables and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. We’ve stayed in a few different rooms, both in the main house and in the cottages, and all are fabulous. Comfy beds, wonderful decor, thoughtful amenities. Breakfasts are gourmet - omelets, French toast, pancakes - or healthy granola and fruit from the buffet. Best yet is that we park our car and never move it! We can walk into town and even Tanglewood isn’t a stretch if you’re already a distance walker. Staff has always been extremely helpful in meeting our needs. Love this place!

My best friend and I stayed the weekend in room 12. The room has a small living room area with fireplace and two small bedrooms that share a bath. The beds are extremely comfortable. Each night after dinner, we drank wine and had our fireplace going. The room comes with a delicious breakfast at the main inn just a few steps away. There is more than enough food offered and I have to say my favorite was the blueberry pancakes! I highly recommend the inn. The staff was friendly and nice. The room we had was really cute. They also offer sherry and cookies and tea and coffee at any time. We also walked each night a few blocks to dinner. Very convenient location for the quaint town of Lenox.

What a comfortable and restful inn! The innkeeper could not have been more attentive. Our room, although small, was very comfortable and our bed afforded is a wonderful nights’s sleep. Breakfast had a huge assortment and it was easy to pick healthy or decadent and of course was delicious.it was nice to have a pool on sight to go to an just hang out for a little bit in between activities. The Inn is a short walk into the center of town, so going to dinner was easy. All in all, this was our second visit there and we will be back.

We have been to Lenox many times previously to take advantage of all of the cultural offerings at Tanglewood but this was our first time at Garden Gables. Our hosts were very careful to pick out a ground floor room with no steps for us.Thus our room was right next to the parking lot with its own porch and landscaping to provide privacy. Our hosts graciously served us breakfast in our room because of construction going on and my husband’s immobility. Our room was decorated in New England classic furniture with a comfortable bed and pillows. It was terrific for our latest stay in this special town in the heart of the Berkshires.

We booked Garden Gables Inn with our family and friends to celebrate a wedding in the area and were delighted by the hospitality of the staff and comfort of the accommodations. Everyone had a blast and wants to schedule a Berkshires reunion there next year. Rosie & Co. are gracious and eager to please guests, which is apparent in all of the little details that make a difference: house-baked goodies and sherry every day, L'Occitane bath products, fantastic quality bedding, coffee and tea round the clock, personalized attention to plated breakfasts and first-name treatment throughout our stay. Ashley is particularly attentive to details and the rest of the staff is welcoming and capable. The breakfast spread was fantastic — tasty and bountiful (thanks, Chef Amanda!). We…

On a winter visit, I was one of few guests in the inn, and might have had a choice of rooms, but was assigned to seemingly one of the smaller inns in the property. Comfortable but a bit small; perfectly adequate for one night. My stay was complicated by a storm-induced power failure that caused most of the local restaurants to have to shutter for the night. I ended up driving a few towns north to find dinner, so it was a bit of an adventure. In any case, the property itself is quite charming and one of the most in the Lenox market.

Thanks so much for your 5-star review! We do have a significant variation of size and price in our rooms, as you suggest. Because each one is different, they are reserved individually. I wonder if perhaps you might have booked through a third-party site where the individual room descriptions were not provided? It's something we will certainly look into carefully, and we appreciate you pointing this out to us.

My friends and I just completed our 11th year staying at the Garden Gables Inn for our 4-day Tanglewood weekend. We have stayed in most of the rooms over the years and, although each of us may have a favorite, I would say that all of the rooms are charming, clean, well-appointed and comfortable. The staff is as friendly as any that I have ever met. They are all born and bred in the Berkshires and know the area quite well. There are also many other resources available to guests highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the greater Lenox area. The Inn is located in the very heart of Lenox and is within easy walking distance to town and its many excellent restaurants and shops.

My daughter and I stayed at the Garden Gables Inn last week for girls' night. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed. Our room was beautiful and immaculately clean. We enjoyed the many amenities offering including the delicious cookies and yummy breakfast! Be sure to visit the family's farm and winery: Hilltop Orchards & Furnace Brook Winery. Everyone we met from the inn were friendly and gracious. Thank you for making our getaway special. We will be returning in the future!

Our room at the Garden Gables Inn was nicely appointed and extremely quiet, and the breakfasts were well-prepared and delicious. And the Inn is a stone's throw from all the restaurants Lenox has to offer. Highly recommended.

This was my first visit to this Inn. It is in a beautiful setting in Lenox Mass. You can swim in the pool or walk around the grounds. Very peaceful. In this day and age of stress due to work, the way the world is, or family issues it nice to have some peace and quiet. Beautifully decorated inside and out. Very nice room for breakfast. You can have cookies, nuts and sherry and sit down and relax also,

We stayed in Macoun Cottage Room 19, which is really luxurious, with a huge four poster bed, two very comfortable armchairs, and very well laid out. The cottage is maybe 35 yards across the garden from the main building. In good weather, no problem but the path is just loose stone chippings, so not easy to drag suitcases across, and it means that the carpet inside the door of the room is a bit grubby. That said, the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, as were the many thoughtful touches of a guest lounge with complimentary sherry and nibbles, and various chocolates and confectionary just off the guest kitchen, where you can get a hot drink at any time, with home-made cookies or cakes. The Innkeeper and all the other staff we met were very pleasant and on the ball. The…

Hi David - thank you so much for staying with us and for your kind comments. Thanks for pointing out the various aspects of the Inn you enjoyed and our great location just on the edge of the village - which gives our guests some welcome privacy and also everything just at the doorstep. We will definitely work to improve the pathway to the cottages and get the gravel packed down as a more solid surface - as it should be - we appreciate you letting us know about this. Looking forward to seeing you again - thanks from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
Staying at Garden Gables was such a treat. Every detail was well thought out, from good bath products to the sherry room for a night cap and the healthy (and more decadent) snacks available throughout the day. Late check-in was clear and easy, and the mattress in room six was really comfy. The inn has a real Berkshire/New England vibe and a rich history. Look for the handpainted wall mural in the lobby, it is a work of art!

We've been going to the Berkshire's for 30 years, always trying a new Bed and Breakfast. Last year, Garden Gables impressed us so much that we returned this year and there was no disappointment! Rosie the Innkeeper welcomed us like family who have returned to visit a home away from home. Her hospitality and attention to detail, along with her fabulous team, are the impeccable qualities that are responsible for making this Inn, the finest we have visited in all these years. I disagree with a previous review that stated there were no staff at the front desk and the coffee was not refilled. We found this NOT AT ALL to be the case. The staff was always present to be helpful and service at breakfast could not have been better! Before we left, we booked our rooms (by the way which we…

This was the third stay for my husband and I. We always have such a wonderful and relaxing time. We stayed in the Honey Crisp room. I let them know ahead of time that this was a surprise trip for my husbands 40th birthday and ordered the fruit and cheese platter. We arrived in town earlier than expected and when I called to let them know we were told that our room would be ready and we could check in early. When we arrived we were taken to our room where the lovely fruit and cheese platter was waiting for us along with a wonderful bottle of wine! We were even delivered additional fire logs! The room was cozy, the jetted bathtub was relaxing and it was great to have a heated floor in the bathroom. Breakfast the next morning was just as it always is, plentiful and…

We stayed here for a long weekend. It is a lovely inn with charming large fireplaces throughout. We chose a room with a fireplace and king size four poster bed and Jacuzzi tub. This is an old building so it has lots of stairs and uneven floors. It is definitely not for anyone with difficulties getting around. There are no accommodations for people with difficulties ambulating. You will carry your luggage up the stairs yourself. The breakfasts are made to order and lovely. There was rarely anyone at the little front desk to ask questions. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. Since we went off season there is not much to do in the town of Lenox and what there is to do is very expensive including the restaurants. We might suggest you take the drive into…

We can only apologize that you were not offered assistance with your luggage - this is something that we normally provide to our guests. We are also very happy to accommodate special needs for early and late breakfast. Your review has prompted us to reinforce with our staff to inquire at checkin about the need for an earlier breakfast or any other special needs that a guest might have. We appreciate your helpful comments - thank you from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
We absolutely loved our room, "Room 3" with the gas fireplace, comfortable bed and jacuzzi tub big enough for two! The inn is cozy and it is a short walk to several bars and restaurants downtown, we liked "Alta" which had vegan/vegetarian options. We did not have breakfast at the inn, but enjoyed the coffee and tea that was available downstairs and the comfortable seating areas. The inn keeper was not particularly friendly or welcoming to us during our stay, we would have liked to chat and get some recommendations for area. However, we had to check in at 9pm which is past check out time, and they left a key in our room door which was helpful. Also we got locked out of our room at one point and were kindly let in.

The old style Victorian is just beautiful. The location is perfect for a quiet couples get away. The house is very clean and decorated for the season.

When we arrived, there was an envelope on the front door with our name on it, explaining where we should go. Room was spacious, bed comfortable, everything was as we expected. In the main house were lots of snacks, chocolates, sherry, etc. Very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. They have a menu but also have lots of items out for you to help yourself. All staff were wonderful. Very close to town, if it wasn't so cold we could have walked. We had a deal of paying for 2 nights getting the third night free. We were there in November which is a slow time in the Berkshires.

The lovely hotel is well located in Lenox in the Berkshires. There is a huge amount to see and do so it needs at least a 3 or 4 day stay. Our bedroom was small but perfectly formed with everything we needed. They seem to have carefully thought out what was required and provided it to a high standard. Breakfasts had several hot options and specials and was a little ( pleasantly so) different from a hotel chain. Nice grounds. All in all, a great place to stay. We also managed to outstay our welcome by getting dates confused; to say they were gracious was an understatement. Rare to find these days... so nice!

Being a small, one-location, family business gives us the opportunity to respond to each of our guests individually. We are so delighted that you enjoyed your experience with us - thank you again, from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
Charming inn in great location in Lenox. We were able to walk to numerous restaurants on the downtown loop. We were in a cottage that was very comfortable. Breakfasts were made to order and delicious. Lovely snacks (homemade muffins, banana bread, ice cream bars, cookies, chocolates) were provided throughout the day and were appreciated. Our only complaints - wifi did not work and we were never able to access the internet during our 3-night stay. Also, daily cleaning service could have been a bit better (spots we left on the bathroom counter the first night were not cleaned during our stay).

We hope to see you on a future visit to Lenox - thank you again, from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
Lovely and friendly staff keep the premises very clean. Food was very good but only offering breakfast. Beds and bath were clean. Room was cozy but smelled of soot and ash after using the fireplace. Stayed three nights but was only given two duraflame logs. Very nice grounds including outdoor seating and a large pool (needs some TLC). This is a really terrific B & B that has many amenities and snacks. Proximity to shops is five minutes. Town is clean, many art galleries and surprisingly terrific restaurants. this area has plenty of fun!

Our brief stay at the Garden Gables was nothing short of fabulous. Rosie made us feel right at home, in every way possible from being ourselves to enjoying the numerous snacks around, and we cannot thank her enough. Her thoughtful dinner recommendation was on point and perfect. The room and property are well appointed for the age and period of the property, set back nicely off Main Street with good parking and nice grounds including an in-season swimming pool-the property is beautiful and typical Berkshires. Furnishings are on point with antiques, or other items which fit in to the period, and provide a comfortable atmosphere where you can relax privately or among guests. In room amenities include a TV, very high quality lotions/soaps, and good towels/sheets/comfortable beds.…

Garden Gables Inn was a charming and comfortable alternative to staying bunk side at Camp Chimney Corners for a wonderful wedding weekend. While I did have a few minutes of guilt for not bunking at camp 24/7, it all faded away once I settled into my small, but authentically charming room at the inn. Welcoming service, delicious breakfast, thoughtful amenities as well as beautiful grounds and a great location added to Garden Gables' appeal for me. Would have given it five stars if there had been an individual thermostat in the room to control the AC and a new shower head. I will definitely consider a return to Garden Gables for my next visit to Lenox.

We arrived on a Saturday for a two night stay in room 15. this room is of decent size, with a king bed, small seating area, tub/shower in the private bathroom and also a private balcony. The Inn itself is old but nicely maintained. Mornings at the Inn is the best time, why, because this is when breakfast is served. There are many bread, fruit and other choices available buffet style. For the main course you order from a small menu and all food is made to order, so it does take a little time. There is seating inside, in a sun room and also outside. The food was very good, providing a great start to the day. The Inn is located a short 10 minute walk from the town center. All the people working at the Inn were very nice and helpful.

We were so disappointed, from all the rave reviews thought would be a gem of an inn. We were going to celebrate an anniversary with a group. Looking forward to a special inn, found a very tired place to stay. Almost a motel, Location for downtown Lenox excellent. Breakfast very good, but very slow. leave extra time. Room and bathroom tired, old carpeting, ancient furnishings, tiny very old bathroom. Beds were fine. Advertised way more then have- for example our private patio, roof of another building with plastic furniture, Grounds more a carpark, and eh. Reminded me of those New End gland properties with rusted implements and old cars in front yard. Staff very nice, but Knew very little in terms of places to go, etc except the standard Lenox restaurants and places to…

We selected Garden Gables due to rave reviews from trusted friends. We were disappointed by the small room filled with ugly old ( not antique) furniture, the rustic bathroom and the motel like feel of the cabin room. Breakfast was generous but the pancakes were undercooked and the eggs were tepid. We were especially disappointed because we had paid over $500 for the room. Definitely not worth the price. So beware the hype!

My husband and I have been coming to Tanglewood once a summer for several years and have stayed in numerous inns and hotels but never found a really good place until this year at Garden Gables. For us it was a perfect location- a quiet lovely inn off the road but within easy walking distance of the main Lenox restaurants and shops. We received a very warm welcome and Ashley showed us the various amenities and took us to our charming little room on the second floor. Although it was small, it had a lovely view of a beautiful tall willow tree and the lush lawns and gardens. It was also immaculately clean and had L’Occitaine toiletries. It was a perfect place to relax and venture out to see the area’s many attractions. Homemade chocolate chip cookies and ice cream treats awaited the…

Garden Gables was touted as a beautiful location with great rooms. It turned out to be a car crowded location with ordinary rooms, but good breakfasts. OK, but not worth the money. Seemed like lots of returning elderly customer swho had the funds for a location near Tangelwood. As new customers we found the place stodgy, rooms tight with extra stuffed furniture and bathrooms small. Parking was a crowded lot in front of the entrance and our room. Not pleasant. Ok, but not at the prices they charged.

Our stay at the Garden Gables Inn was just what we needed after a hectic and stressful week. We were in Lenox to see a performance at Tanglewood. From first contact, service was great. The Innkeeper called us to see what time we would be arriving as it was nearing the end of check in time. She was very friendly and helpful in explaining how to find our room if we got there after hours (we were stuck in traffic on the Mass Pike) and was sure to tell us to enjoy the lemonade and cookies that were in the kitchen. The grounds were lovely. Lush and green with flowers everywhere and plenty of seating areas to enjoy the beautiful setting. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated. I loved the sweet arrangements made of flowers from the grounds that dotted the Inn and very much…

We have been coming to this hotel for about 20 years. There are amazing cooked-to-order breakfasts as well as a buffet. The pool is huge and warm with lounge chairs and large towels and, in the afternoon, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Jayne Carroll, the Innkeeper helped to make our stay special, as did Ann in the dining room. It’s quiet and close to the village. A perfect place to stay while visiting Tanglewood and the Berkshires.

Just got back from the Garden Gables Inn. We were three couples and stayed in the cottages. It was an amazing place. Rosie, the innkeeper, was great. Told us to treat the inn as our own house.

A lovely, well appointed inn. Once you arrive the innkeepers were responsive, helpful and welcoming. We stayed in room 15 which was elegant, had a private balcony, king bed and full bath. Heat, air, a fireplace, robes and always a responsive presence. Breakfast was delicious and would return again without hesitation. That said my only criticism is that before arriving I called 3 times-left a message and never received a response. So being there is wonderful, communication beforehand poor.

My boyfriend and I stayed for one night and booked the room due to the awesome reviews and the option for a jacuzzi tub. From the moment Rosie (the head innkeeper) greeted us we felt like we were right at home. The inn was perfect and idyllic....every detail was thought of. From the always available treats - coffee, tea, fresh chocolate chip cookies and fresh fruit to the intricate details of the inn and grounds, we loved every moment we were there. I only wished we had checked in earlier in the day! I highly recommend Room 3 - the jacuzzi room. The views were beautiful, the bed was super comfortable and the room was cozy as could be. This inn managed to combine all of the amenities you could ever want with the quaint and coziness of a real B&B. The breakfast the next morning…

My best friend and I decided to meet in Lenox for a quick weekend getaway. I cannot say enough good things about this Inn and the incredible staff who manage it - Rosie and Jackie are gems. The Inn is like something out of a fairy tale, and a couple of times when sitting on the grounds, I felt like I was sitting in the dreamiest meadow. The Inn does EVERYTHING To make this a memorable and wonderful experience for their guests. They own a wine vineyard a short drive away from the Inn, and if you're staying at the Inn, the tasting is free. In addition to sampling delicious wine, we received a 20% discount when we purchased our bottles, and were given free (and probably the best tasting) cider donuts. Not to mention everyone who works at the vineyard is a delight - shout out…

The Garden Gables truly feels like a retreat. My wife and I were immediately taken care of upon checkin by Rosie (the inn keeper) and felt right at home. We happened to be the only guests staying at the B&B during that time but we could tell Rosie treats her guests like family, whether it was setting a fire in the fireplaces, providing snacks, or providing nice conversation, we felt completely accompdated. This place feels like a home with loads of character, definitely exceeding our expectations in the process!

Our stay at the GGI was wonderful! It was the perfect spot for our family get together.The inn was charming and spotless. The staff could not have been nicer or more accomodating. Rosie was extremely helpful and entertaining! We walked to town for dinner every night, Nudels was our favorite. We stayed in three of the cottage rooms, although small they were very tastefully decorated and comfortable with great fireplaces. Breakfasts were great, pool was perfect. Lots to do in surrounding towns, The Mount was lovely. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We have stayed in the B&B twice now. It's really lovely and the staff are very nice. I didn't give it five stars as each time we have had little quirks in our room that bothered me a bit. The first time about three years ago, I found empty small liquor bottles hidden all over our room. I let the management know since the housekeeping staff was either hiding them or not doing a very good job cleaning. This time, there were a few tiny things that were overlooked, better this time for sure! Other than that, it is a charming place that is walking distance to so many things in town!

My husband and I could not be more pleased with our stay at Garden Gables. Our room was beautiful and quiet so it was very appreciated. The breakfast was fantastic and the local area wonderful! We visited Naumkeag and the Norman Rockwell Museum which were very informative!

Congratulations on your anniversary and we wish you many more to come. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Lenox. All the best from us at the Garden Gables Inn!
We stayed at GGI this past week and found it to be lovely, beautifully decorated, spotless, with very caring, attentive staff. When the unexpected heat wave showed up and things weren't quite ready for the heat, Rosie, who is the innkeeper, gave us our 3 night stay for free. Rosie was great and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. She is a gem! Our room on the second floor was quite warm and she wanted to compensate us which was so generous. The breakfast was always delicious and loved that it was made to order. Loved the grounds and enjoyed speaking with Rick who takes care of the property. Very nice man. We would definitely stay here again. Loved the warm chocolate chip cookies and the beautiful common areas.

Thank you for your lovely comments about your stay at GGI. We are so sorry that we had an issue with the air conditioning system with the unexpected heat wave - we had just completed our seasonal equipment inspection a few days earlier and discovered that the unit was not working - and waiting for it to be repaired. Thank you so much for your patience. Our staff so appreciates learning how their efforts made your stay enjoyable - thank you! We look forward to your return visit and seeing you then - thanks again from all of us!
Our first trip to Lenox was made all the better by choosing to stay at the Garden Gables. The staff make it very clear that they want everything during your stay to be perfect. They checked with us frequently to make sure everything met our needs. We stay in B&B's frequently so we have a frame of reference when we say that this was an exceptional experience - we have never experienced this level of consideration before. And then there is the Inn itself - it has all of the comfort and charm that you could expect of a colonial era Inn. There are a number of common areas to sit, read, play board games, sample sherry or even find a snack. Our room was spacious, well lit with very comfortable bedding. We enjoy selecting a location that is within walking distance to dining so the…

Great romantic getaway!! Cozy common areas with awesome amenities and antiques. Perfect walking distance to restaurants, shops, and church. Take a drive to their own winery and orchard about 15 minutes away for free wine tastings, hikes, cross-country skiing, and a cozy fireplace. We will definitely be back!!

This was a wonderful much needed getaway. John greeted us and gave us the tour. Room was beautiful, comfortable and made you feel like you were visiting a long lost relative's home. We went up to the orchard for the wine tasting and Grace was informative about the wines and served us the homemade cider donuts. Finally, Rosie really made you feel like family! From breakfast to just giving directions and just being very warm and friendly! We would definitely come back! The Vito's

My husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway close to restaurants and shops and The Garden Gables Inn delivered. We were greeted by Marti (who is absolutely lovely) and were immediately impressed. Every amenity was at our fingertips, including duraflame logs for the fire, L'Occitaine toiletries, amazing bedding, chocolates and snacks downstairs, etc. Plus the walk to downtown took all of 3 minutes. Breakfast was superb and made to order, too. We will absolutely be back!

We strive to provide our guests with a relaxing getaway from the everyday, and we couldn't be happier to hear that you had that very experience during your time with us. We absolutely look forward to hosting you again, and look forward to it! Best from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
My stay at the Garden Gables was lovely. Martie, the Innkeeper, was hospitable and accommodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The freshly baked chocolate chip cookies upon entering the Inn were deliciously perfect. The breakfast was busy, therefore I had to wait quite a while to be served, but the meal was well worth the wait. This B&B is in a perfect location which sits in a beautiful quintessential New England town, Lenox. It is across the street from the shops in Lenox, a couple miles from Kripalu and Tanglewood. I highly recommend staying here when you are visitng Lenox.

It is downright fun to rave...the location, the facilities and the staff are just perfect for a pleasant getaway. Garden Gables has it all and the subtleties too. I would say this should be my home away from but I wish this was home. It is lperfect and just comfortable and those nuances of hospitality are not forgotten. We can enjoy our beautiful room sitting by the fire or go to a lovely sitting room for sherry.Okay I don’t drink but it is the dream of such sophistication. Discount any negative reviews and feel very lucky like I did on this gem of the Berkshires- enjoy your stay -you will be glad you did,

When you go to the Berkshires you expect a certain experience...great outdoor adventures, outstanding dining but mainly sleeping in a warm and comfortable inn. The Garden Gables Inn is just such a place. Upon arrival, you are greeted by the innkeeper, in this case a charming woman named Marty. She will not only be your hostess but your guide as well. Our room was a suite called the "FURNACE WINERY". It was everything we could have hoped for; it It included a wood burning fireplace. Breakfast was a sumptuous experience beginning with a buffet and ending with your choice of a breakfast entree. Then, of course, you are just across the street from the quintessential Berkshire town of Lenox as well as being just minutes away from Tanlewood. This inn has it all... warmth…

This was our first visit to the Berkshires. We received a gift certificate to the inn and added a couple of days to make it a long weekend. When we arrived we were greeted warmly and given a tour of the inn. There are 2 nice sitting areas to relax in with fireplaces to enhance the relaxing mood. The Sherry Room has a pour yourself a sherry and relax by the fireplace. We stayed in room 17. The king sized bed was very comfortable, fireplace used logs which was nice, bathroom had a Jacuzzi tub with tile surround and granite counter-tops along with a heated floor. We also had a mini fridge with sink and coffeemaker. The inn is located within walking distance to downtown and the surrounding areas are a short drive away. We went to the Furnace Brook Winery which is associated…

We do hope that you will come back and visit with us again during the leaf peeping season - and look forward to seeing you then. Thanks again from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
We booked at this Bed and Breakfast based on all the five star reviews. I must say, the pictures are very misleading regarding the condition of the property. Our room had very old carpet and marginal, old furniture. The bathroom countertops were formica and the tile/grout had some mold and didn't appear clean. For the price of this room, we expected more and were disappointed with the condition. The location of the inn is very good and breakfast is pretty standard. Based on a couple of other inns that we stayed at on our trip, this was a definite C minus. And, don't believe the pictures.

• Warm welcome, owner very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. • Quaint Inn set in attractive grounds. • We had room 16, Macintosh Cottage, in a group of connected cottages less than a minute's walk from the main building. • Our room was smaller than those we had in our other B&Bs in NE but perfectly adequate for our needs. • Our bed was very comfortable, the bathroom well appointed, and there was a sofa and arm chair to relax in. There are also two very comfortable room in the main house where we helped ourself to tea or coffee and sat and talked talk to other guests. We enjoyed the 'sherry room' which has serve yourself sherry and a nice fireplace. • Breakfast was excellent - a combination of buffet and ordering from the menu. The omelettes were excellent and…

This was our second visit to Garden Gables and both times were really nice. The staff was very attentive. The breakfast was good with generous portions. The snacks were a nice touch to have available throughout the day. The Berkshires this time a year seemed kind of quite which suited us just fine. Everything is pretty much a short car ride away. Special thanks for the apple pie from the orchard..it was dee-licious!!

Scheduling a gals weekend away in the Berkshires to celebrate a birthday, I reviewed approx 20+ inns across many towns. We settled on The Garden Gables Inn because if fit our price range, accommodated the four of us together in a 2-bedroom suite and included breakfast. We stayed in Hilltop Orchard Suite 12. It included 2 separate bedrooms - 1 w/queen bed and 1 w/2 twins, 1 bath and a great living room with ample comfy seating & working fireplace. The bedrooms are small but there is plenty of closet, drawer and shelf space. The beds and bedding were comfortable and luxurious. There is a small shared(?) deck across from the front door area. The fireplace was equipped with duraflame logs which were easy to light. The innkeeper was very helpful with requested ordering of…

My friend and I did a Mom's weekend getaway at the Garden Gables Inn. The rooms were lovely. Beds were super comfortable. We had massages in their spa room, which were incredibly relaxing. Breakfast was delicious every morning and the staff was just the right amount of attentive and helpful. The tasty (and constantly available cookies) and the sherry room were extra special touches. We loved the fact that we got free wine tasting, free apple picking and 10% off purchases at their winery. We also loved how close the Inn was to town, and that we could easily walk to dinner and local shopping. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed one night here in the Berkshires and really wished for more. This a beautiful B&B with pleasant grounds and a huge swimming pool (closed for the season). We stayed in the ground floor of the guest house. Well appointed, quaint, and the most comfortable bed of our trip. Very quiet as it is away from the main hotel and it felt like we were alone in the place. They have a sherry room which was really all I needed to hear. Breakfast was delicious, and offered both continental items and a made to order menu that was above and beyond the usual B&B fare. They also offer a chef’s table private dining event which we did not opt for but sounds awesome. It is a very short walk into downtown Lenox with its many shops and excellent food options. This would…

The Garden Gables Inn is a wonderful place to stay (and eat) in the gorgeous Massachusetts town of Lenox (just north of the larger, more imperial Stockbridge). Set in 5 acres of beautiful lawns and trees, it is on the main road through town (but well distant from the parkway) and is quiet and peaceful. My mother had a luxurious cabin with four-poster bed and fireplace that was separate from the main house. I was upstairs in the main building and at the back overlooking the pool and trees. Both rooms were delightful. The welcome (from the owner, who is lovely) was excellent and the atmosphere embracing. The breakfasts are the best I have had in America and, please, book several days in advance a special dinner in the library by the fire. (Dinner is not otherwise served.) The food…

Our bathroom was appointed with L'Occitane toiletries! We particularly enjoyed sitting by the fireplace in the sitting room--such a nice memory of our stay. The breakfast staff was helpful and kind. We'd stay here again.

We stayed at the Garden Gables Inn for two nights and were joined by our friends from New Jersey. The Inn is very peaceful and comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome. Our room was very well appointed with a big comfortable bed and a lot of storage space. Breakfast was superb.
