My wife surprised me with a birthday getaway and she could not have chosen a more perfect place. The staff treated us like family, the room was just beautiful, and we can't wait to go back. What a wonderful weekend.

We are so delighted that your surprise birthday getaway was a wonderful weekend for both of you. Thank you for your kind words - we look forward to seeing you soon - from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
This is a very lovely bed-and-breakfast that is walking distance to town. Despite the fact that it was fully booked on the weekend we stay there, it was very quiet, and we were not disturbed by other guests. The proprietor was very helpful when we asked for a recommendation for a restaurant, which was very good. We are at

Thanks so much for selecting us for your weekend in the Berkshires. We are so glad that the peace and quiet of our property hit the right note for you! We hope to see you the next time you visit Lenox. Thank you from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
The inn and the staff did a fantastic job taking care of my wife and myself during this past weekend. The furnace winery cottage was just what we had hoped for when we booked the trip. Jayne and her staff were nothing but 5 star and the spa treatments were quite nice. I want to also note that Peter the Chef did a super job on breakfast but our chef's table dinner was very special and we appreciated the menu and the excellent preparation that was done. We plan on returning next year and look forward to spending a few more nights in Lenox at the Garden Gables

We'll be delighted to see you next year and look forward to your company on your return visit - thank you from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
Fabulous family run American haven. We stayed in room 9 A lovely ground floor room at the back of the house with our own porch overlooking the heated outdoor pool and beautiful gardens. Our room had a lovely super King four poster bed. The bath had a spa feature and we also had a walk in shower and toiletries. As the house is over hundred years old we could hear the guests in the floor above walking around and flushing the toilet. It didn't cause us any problems but if you think it might be for you request an upstairs room. There were so many little extras. Tea and coffee are available all the time in the guest pantry as well as fruit and homemade biscuits. Breakfast are a treat. There is a wide choice of fruits and cereals. The homemade granola is highly recommended. Cooked…

Our annual summer weekend in the Berkshires....Tanglewood, the Clark, the Garden Gables Inn...We would not stay at any other B & B....we love everything about our stay....the accommodations, the delicious food, and the guests who also come to visit...we always recognize faces from our previous year's visit...and, the warm welcome we get from the Garden Gables staff when we arrive. We already made our reservation for next year!!!

This was our first stay at Garden Gables,but won't be our last. Our room in the main house was small but more than adequate. The staff were all friendly, cheerful and helpful. The cooked to order breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. The grounds were beautiful. We will return to this relaxing haven right in the middle of Lenox.

Second times we have stayed in a cottage at Garden Gables and it was as wonderful as the first time Comfortable king bed, plush seating and excellent bathroom. Breakfasts are cooked to order just as requested and all the expected accompaniments are available. The amenities range from heated pool outside to sherry in in the living room and all the appropriate snacks and beverages in between. Go, stay and enjoy.

The Garden Gables is a charming, family run inn on a quiet site a short distance from the restaurants and shops of Lenox. Their breakfasts are relaxing and first rate. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We have been doing three to four day Lenox weekends here for almost 20 years, and feel like we are almost one of the family. It is a great base for enjoying all that the Berkshires / Tanglewood have to offer.

Have stayed in Cottage Room many times. Still perfect. Innkeeper & staff are very welcoming, accommodations first rate & breakfast is wonderful on the patio. Location is best in Lenox; within short walk to village & very convenient to Tanglewood & other of the areas many attractions.

We stayed at the beautiful Garden Gables back in June for our wedding. We live in Florida so while planning our stay from far away I was a little nervous especially since this was our wedding we are taking about!! Jayne and Megan could not have been more lovely and very helpful. Jayne recommend Danielle Pierce of Danielle Pierce Beauty to do my hair and make up at the Inn on my wedding day. Jayne offered to set up the sherry room for us for the afternoon while my hair and makeup was being done!!! I felt so special and culd not have been happier. A beautiful fire was going and it could not have been more PERFECT. The entire staff is so professional and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was exceptional. We stayed in the Macon cottage #19 . It was quaint,…

This was our third stay and I'm sure there will many more. I can't imagine that for the price there could be a more charming, comfortable facility in the Berkshires. The breakfasts are individually prepared, lavish, and delicious. The staff is without exception gracious and accommodating. We have never stayed, anywhere, in a more delightful inn.

First time stay for our annual James Taylor concert. Nicely appointed antique. We stayed in one of the cottages. Breakfast included with snacks Pool was not available which was a slight disappointment. I suggest they install several well located hot tubs. Will stay there next year same time

Thank you so much for your gracious comments and for selecting the Garden Gables Inn for your stay this year - we love the James Taylor concerts, too - such a great way to kick off the summer and celebrate the holiday! Our apologies for the pool not being available - there was an equipment breakdown and we had to close access while it was repaired. We appreciate your understanding. We look forward to seeing you next year, and, from all of us - thanks again for sharing your experience on TripAdvisor.
This inn is hands down the best in Lenox. The staff that operates the Inn is amazing. They go out of their way to go above and beyond what you would ever expect. Jayne was so wonderful, and helped us with any issue that came up. She even loaned us her own car when we didn't have our car for the day! The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable, the grounds are beautiful and the huge pool is pure joy on a hot day. They have a library and a sherry room, both with fireplaces, where you can sit and read and visit with other guests and each other, sip sherry, eat amazing cookies, coffee, and fruit, or just relax in quietude and take in the surroundings. We had a privately catered meal with chef Peter who did such an exceptional job of making a delicious meal for us and our son, who…

Garden Gables was a lovely, welcoming and peaceful place to stay in Lenox. The hospitality was top notch, and the chocolate chip cookies and made-to-order breakfast were both excellent. I will definitely return!

We spent one night here and we should have stayed more. About 1 mile from Tanglewood. Wonderful brekfast with a good selction of entres to choose from. Old country house with plenty of charm. Wondeful gardens and a very large pool. Adorondack chairs under trees to sit ans sip wine of morning coffee. Walking distance to the Red Lion and the other stores on Main Street. Truly a welcoming and comfortable spot. The owners also own an orchard and vineyard about 15 minutes away that has snow shoeing trails in the winter. Truly a place to stay for all four seasons.

Ideal location to walk downtown and even to Tanglewood. Excellent hospitality. Really appreciated the made to order breakfast option. We were upgraded to a spacious suite (10). Our friends really enjoyed their cottage room(17). Complimentary sherry is a nice touch as well. We also took advantage of free wine tasting at the family winery which is about a 15 minute drive from the inn. We would definitely return.

We're delighted that you selected the Garden Gables Inn for your stay in Lenox - and so happy to hear that you had a great time! Many thanks from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
I travelled to the area for work and although I normally do not like the intrusive nature of B&B's, chose to stay at the property because of its easy proximity to the town. The room was beautiful, quiet, and very comfortable with several very nice added touches like chocolates, bottled water, selections of soaps. The staff was very appropriately "hands off" which I intensely appreciated. But when I did have a question and during breakfast they were attentive and efficient. I cannot wait to return in warmer weather to experience the grounds and pool. Loved the ambiance and location especially.

We had an amazing getaway at the Garden Gables and cannot wait to go back! We stayed in room #3 and really enjoyed the electric fireplace and the jetted hot tub! The place was so clean and cozy and a great location to go out exploring! We cannot wait to come back! Walking distance to a few local restaurants and shops!

Wonderful time attending a Murder Mystery weekend at the Garden Gables Inn. What gracious hosts - Jayne and Meghan. Our room was fabulous (#15), with a most comfortable 4-poster bed, sitting area, wood burning fireplace and modern bath. The Innkeepers manage to retain the quaintness of a historic home and wrap it in modern day amenities, without looking or feeling "tired." The food was delicious with a cooked-to- order breakfast, fresh fruit, and lots of fresh brewed coffee. Though on main street, the Garden Gables Inn is set back so far off the road that road noise is by no means an issue - yet you are in the heart of Lenox. Being we stayed in mid-March and at the close of winter, we did not explore the grounds but given the on-line pics of the rooms are truly accurate,…

Hi Rene - thanks so much for your wonderful review. We are always thinking about every aspect that our guests will experience - it is so rewarding to hear them acknowledged and understand that they added so much to your enjoyment. We are planning to have a Murder Mystery weekend a couple of times a year - with new themes each time. We hope to see you again! Thank you from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
We had a wonderful Valentine's Day experience at the Garden Gables Inn. They treated us so well, giving us an upgraded package. Their customer service was impeccable, the room was spacious, clean, and cozy, and the breakfast... oh the breakfast. Great breakfast with lots of variety. It's also an excellent perk that wine tasting and cross country skiing passes are complimentary with a stay at Furnace Brook Winery. It made for an all around perfect weekend!

If you are looking for a place to get away with a small town feel and genuine hospitality this is your place! The rooms have personality and charm. Jane, Meghan, and the entire staff were so warm and welcoming without being overbearing. The breakfast was outstanding. We look forward to making it back here during the summer! Thanks for an awesome weekend! The Bacons

Stayed at Garden Gables for a few days right after New Year's Day for a post-holiday, just-the-two-of-us winter break and it could not have been more lovely. The room we stayed in on the second floor was spacious with a real fireplace, and the rest of the inn is just charming with fireplaces in multiple rooms. Home baked cookies, fruit, and beverages were available throughout our visit at all times, and sherry was put out every afternoon - a great way to curl up and read a book in front of a fire. The breakfasts were wonderful - fresh fruit, baked muffins, made to order creative dishes. We also took advantage of the opportunity to have a private dinner one night in the library (another room with a fireplace), and had another wonderful meal without having to venture farther…

Thank you so much - we are warmed by your thoughtful review and so delighted that your time with us was wonderful for you. Winter is such a great time to curl up and read a book - just what a library with a cozy fireplace is for! Hoping to see you again soon, best wishes from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
My husband and I recently returned from our second stay here and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Our first stay was in December of 2015, just after the big Christmas event in nearby Stockbridge so the Inn didn't have many guest. We thought that we would not receive the same level of service that a full house would get but we were incredibly wrong! The staff was so nice and accommodating that I decided to surprise my husband with a second visit this year. During our second stay the Inn was at full occupancy and, in comparison to the first visit, we received the same level of excellent service that we did when we had the whole place to ourselves. Jane, the manager, was there to greet us upon arrival and escorted us right to our room. I had mentioned this was a…

Stayed at this lovely B&B for the New Year's weekend. The inn is charming. Our room was spacious and inviting. We had a wood burning fireplace and Duraflame logs were provided. The staff couldn't be more accommodating. Breakfast is delicious and made to order. Our New Year's Eve dinner was out of this world. Everything cooked to perfection and a nice menu of choices. We had a lovely table on the heated, closed in porch, with the snow falling outside. Couldn't ask for better. The town of Lenox is charming and fun to explore. Will go back in summer.

We so enjoyed meeting you, and look forward to seeing you again this summer. Thank you again, from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
We recently spent a few days at Garden Gables with old friends who live far from us (Lenox was a mid-point geographically--a two-hour drive for each couple). We weren't looking to take advantage of the many activities in the Berkshires; in the dead of winter (and it was cold out!), our goal was simply to spend time reading, relaxing by the fire, and talking. (There are many fireplaces at the inn, including one in our room). What a perfect get-away it was. Jayne and her staff could not have been more friendly or helpful.

Very warm & welcoming. We walked in from the first snowfall to the smell of fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. Room was warmed by fireplace. Breakfast was plentiful. Town with many restaurants & bookstore within walking distance. Check out the sherry room, too.

Thank you for your lovely review and for selecting our Inn for your stay in Lenox. That brilliant winter snowfall was, indeed, like a picture book setting for enjoying the warmth of the fireplace inside. The Bookstore is truly one of the highlights of Lenox village - Matt, the owner, always has an interesting selection of books; you can browse for an hour and still not take in everything. We loved having you with us, and hope to see you again on a future visit - all the best from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
With a gentle snow falling at breakfast. I only wish my wife could have come. Fireplace in the room. Apparently some rooms don't have tv. I was here on business midweek, was the only guest because of the season. I was nearly embarrassed by the fully committed attention to my comfort. Again, lovely people! Just looked out the window to see someone cleared the snow off my car.

Thanks so much for staying with us, and sharing your experience on TripAdvisor. The winter season is wonderful, because this less busy time allows us even more opportunity to spend time with our guests. We so appreciate you noticing - hopefully we will have the pleasure of your company on a future visit to Lenox. All the best, and Happy Holidays from the Garden Gables Inn!
We decided last minute to spend a night in the Berkshires. I think we were right between seasons, and were able to get room 18 with only 36 hours notice. I would recommend planning much further ahead than that - I think we just got lucky on a shoulder season weekend between leaf peeping and winter wonderland. What a charming place. Common rooms are lovely, and it's only a quick walk to shopping and restaurants. Cozy room with king bed, fireplace and cool vaulted ceiling. Every staff member was very friendly and really made us feel right at home. Breakfast was fantastic as well. Without asking, they even had a bottle of wine in the room on ice for my wife's birthday when we arrived, and wiped the surprise overnight snow from our car before we left. If we head back out to…

Thank you for your kind words regarding your recent stay at the Garden Gables Inn. We are so happy to hear that your last minute decision turned into a great experience. The Inn is particularly cozy in the winter - that storm was a surprise for us all. We hope that you will have a future opportunity to visit the Berkshires - we would be honored and delighted to be your host on such an occasion. Thank you from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
The Garden Gables Inn is perfectly located in Old Lenox with so many wonderful restaurant and shopping choices within walking distance. We stayed in Honeycrisp Cottage last year and Macoun Cottage this year. Each has a king size bed and a working fireplace which makes for a cozy stay. The breakfasts are made to order with wonderful choices like apple cinnamon stuffed French Toast, Blueberry pancakes and other delicious options. We have also ordered simple scrambled eggs and bacon, also made to order. It's an outstanding choice in the Berkshires!

We enjoyed out stay at Garden Gables - it's a good location as there are excellent restaurants within walking distance and Megan was really helpful with recommendations and bookings. I loved the "sherry room" where one can enjoy a tipple in front of a real log fire (no fake gas flames here) and there is a spacious pantry area with hot drinks, including spiced apple cider, cookies and fruit available - also the use of a microwave. Our bedroom and bathroom were small - don't have the Leonard Bernstein room if you like a large room but the bed was really comfortable and it was well equipped. There was a TV and DVD player, with a good selection of up-to-date DVD's to borrow. Good breakfast menu - the blueberry buttermilk pancakes (plus bacon and maple syrup, of course) were…

We said we would come back for another great experience, and we did. This time we stayed in one of the cottages, Rm. 19, which was quiet and cozy on a raw New England autumn weekend. The working fireplace was a real treat, as was the bottle of the Old Vine Zinfandel from the nearby Furnace Brook Winery, owned for the past 20 years by the same family that owns the inn. So good we took one home with us. Our room was spacious and comfortable to relax in, with two comfortable chairs near the fire place, a large bathroom and the most comfortable king sized bed ever. We appreciated the warm greeting from Jayne and Megan who gave us a warm welcome and showed us where we could find the home made treats and sherry bar. All of the staff at Garden Gable have just the right touch,…

Our staff really appreciates hearing about how their efforts made your visit even better. It is always wonderful to welcome again our friends from past visits - and - we hope that there will be many more ahead on your return visits to Lenox. Best from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
We had a great time here. Cozy rooms (despite their size), complete with fireplaces. We weren't in the main house, so the peace and quiet was almost palpable. We took full advantage of the mingling hour (sherry and munchies) as well as the home-made snacks (which were delicious) in the pantry, and were surprised when no one else was there (though there didn't seem to be a lot of other guests). The breakfasts are delicious and filling (and I'm not a breakfast person), and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. I definitely plan on going back, though I'm not sure if I'd rather go back in the summer or winter.

We stayed in one of the cottage rooms close by to the main house: Room 17. The room has a Jacuzzi tub with shower and wet bar area with a small refrigerator. The breakfast menu was adequately varied plus a buffet. We like the idea of being able to walk to the restaurants and shops nearby. We have been going to Garden Gables at least once per year for 4 years (summer/fall) and never been disappointed. We recommend it highly.

Thank you for again selecting the Garden Gables Inn for your stay in Lenox - we are so delighted to have the opportunity to welcome back long-time friends each year. As you point out, the Inn's location on the edge of Lenox Village is very convenient to get to the shops and restaurants - especially with no hills to navigate - while, being set back from the road, we are also able to offer a quiet and restful setting. We are so happy that you visited with us this year, and look forward to greeting you again in years to come - thank you from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
My minimal expectation of any lodging is a good night's sleep. I regret to say that this did not happen during our stay. We were on the first floor in a beautiful suite and all was well until we hit the sack. Then it started. The thin ceiling did not protect us from hearing the occupant above our room snoring the entire night. I am serious; it was never ending and loud. Up to that point we heard some walking around and you could tell the ceiling was very thin. My husband is saying take more stars away because my order was wrong twice at breakfast but I am going to leave them because the staff was otherwise excellent. My advice is do not stay on a lower floor unless some major soundproofing takes place.

Dear Mary, Thank you very much for your candid comments about your recent stay. I apologize for the difficulties you experienced. We very much appreciate you pointing out the need for further soundproofing, and are very sorry that the noise disturbed your sleep. We will be looking into how we can improve this situation right away. If you would consider another visit with us, we would be so pleased to have a chance to turn your experience around. Please reach out to our head innkeeper, Jayne Carroll, directly at innkeeper@gardengablesinn.com, or give us a call at the Inn to make these arrangements. Thank you for acknowledging our staff, who do work very hard to ensure that each guest experience is the best we can make it. We would appreciate the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

We had a wonderful time at Garden Gables Inn. The place was amazing, sitting by the fireplace was wonderful as was meeting other guests in the Inn... We will definitely be coming back. We had dinner at the Inn on Saturday night and it felt like we had our own private cozy corner of the world all to ourselves under candle light. Of course... my husband appreciated the never ending supply of fresh baked cookies and warm apple cider!

Dear Dolores - thank you very much for choosing to stay with us during your recent trip to Lenox. We are so glad that you enjoyed your Saturday dinner - we have done dinners during the summer in past years, and, are adding them into the fall and winter this year.

The camaraderie of meeting other Inn guests is a great bonus to the whole experience - we agree! We look forward to seeing you again - best wishes from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
Cannot say enough positive things about the Garden Gables Inn. We brought a group to the inn for a couple night stay during early fall. We were in Lenox to enjoy the town, the surrounding area, and to get in a few days of bicycling. Jayne and Megan at the inn were so accommodating and great with our group both before we arrived, and when we were at the inn. They keep the inn running tip top, with great amenities and service, but also give the inn a homey, welcoming feel. Our group loved hanging out in the lounge in the afternoons, eating in the dining area and porch in the morning, and walking into town for dinner at night. Snacks and drinks always seemed to be on hand, and if we had a request they were eager to help. They keep the property nicely appointed both inside and out.…

This was the first time we have ever been to the Berkshires. We were coming for an evening at Tanglewood and there were many options on TripAdvisor. The reviews and pictures were what drew us to Garden Gables and we were not disappointed! The grounds are lovely as is the inn itself. So cozy and welcoming. Our room was beautifully appointed and very clean. We were minutes from Tanglewood and in the heart of Lenox…a terrific location. After the concert, we came home and grabbed a bottle of wine from the the very convenient mini fridge in our room and sat outside to continue enjoying the evening. In the morning we had a fantastic breakfast, made to order. We weren't there long enough to enjoy the pool but we saw many people doing so. Our stay at Garden Gables was just…

Hopefully there can be a next time when there is time for the pool and just to relax with us. Thank you for your lovely review - we hope to see you again - from all of us as the Garden Gables Inn!
Really a very pleasant inn with an extremely competent staff. An outstanding breakfast...especially chef's muffins and apricot butter. Would highly recommend for a long weekend. It would be a true pleasure if we are able to return for the fall foliage.

Very nice quiet B&B just a few steps from downtown Lenox, MA. We love the ability to walk to town for shopping and eating. We also walked to Shakespeare & CO, and Tanglewood. We have stayed there for a glorious 2 week vacation in August of 2015 and 2016. We have reserved again for next summer. You can relax in the shade under a tree or by the swimming pool. The queen bed was very comfortable.

We've had it with the elections. Dreading the onslaught of political ads. Needed a respite big time. No better place than sitting on the lawn at Tanglewood and staying at the Garden Gables Inn. We needed the relief so much we went twice this August. Magnificent weather. Wonderful people. The best breakfasts in Lenox. And the pool...oh my. We spent an entire afternoon reading, dunking and enjoying the moment. The staff from Jayne, the innkeeper to Pat and Veronica at breakfast are kind and caring. We took a ride out the winery and enjoyed a tasting. If only we could stay there until the elections are over. If I could award a Gold Medal for best Inn, it would certainly go to the Garden Gables. Just perfect.

We very much enjoyed our relaxing three nights at Garden Gables. The location is in the heart of Lenox, within hiking distance of Tanglewood if you like to walk. The breakfast offers many hot options and is cooked to order. The room was furnished quite nicely. We had a suite with a separate entrance at the side of the inn, which accommodated three adults and included a separate sitting room with sleep sofa. We appreciated the frig with water supplied each day. All in all an excellent Berkshire experience.

We are lucky to be in such a wonderful place as the Berkshires in the summer! Thank you from all of us for your kind words - we look forward to seeing you next year!
We spent three nights at Garden Gables while sightseeing in the Berkshires. Our room (15) was beautifully furnished and had all the amenities you would expect in a fine inn. A small fridge was perfect for storing our Tanglewood picnic supplies. Since the weather was rainy, we didn't get to use our private balcony or the outdoor swimming pool, but we hope to return to enjoy these features. Of special note were the delicious full breakfasts - there was a menu with several choices and special requests were taken with a smile. Also, all of the staff - especially the breakfast servers - went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It was a lovely combination of elegance and comfort.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying for two nights at the Garden Gables Inn last week (late July), and I just can't say enough good things about it. Let's see... 1. Breakfast every morning was superb. I tried both omelettes, but would have loved another night to try the stuffed French Toast. 2. Staff was incredibly accommodating. We had wet towels and asked if they could dry them, and instead they came back washed and folded. One day we asked if they could pack us a snack, and they gave us a wonderfully supplied and very cute cooler bag which included a clever little table/wine glass/cheese board that assembled into a table -- perfect for the lawn at Tanglewood! 3. The pool was quite clean, the lounge chairs and umbrellas tasteful (not to mention perfectly…

Traveling from California we had wanted to stay at this Inn for quite some time. Our two night stay could not have been more perfect! Meghan was delightful and very helpful from the moment we made our reservations. What a pleasure it was to finally meet her in person as she knew our story of having this visit in conjunction with seeing James Taylor in concert at Tanglewood on our Bucket List! We definitely hope to return again in the future. Our room was well appointed and very comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast both morning's and found the staff to be very attentive. We even found a few hours one afternoon to enjoy some sandwiches from the local market out at the lovely pool. Thank you for an incredible visit to the Berkshires!

We stayed for two nights in July for our 40th anniversary. Our room was tastefully furnished with beautiful furniture, Though an old inn, it has all the modern amenities. Easy walking distance to the center of Lenox, but set well back from the road. Included breakfast is outstanding.

This was our second stay at the Garden Gables Inn, but it won't be our last. We checked in early on a Sunday afternoon as we had tickets for an afternoon concert at Tanglewood. Everyone that we met in the check in, guest services and dining room area was so helpful and cheerful. It is so nice to be treated as a guest by pleasant people. We stayed upstairs at the inn and just loved the roominess of the room and the feeling of luxury. And to top it off, the inn gave us a bottle of nice red wine to help celebrate our wedding anniversary! The downstairs common rooms are very comfortable and relaxing as well.

My fiancé and I stayed at the Garden Gables Inn last Saturday and loved it. The Garden Gables is a “serene B&B on 5 acres with luxury perks”. It is set in an idyllic setting, off Main Street, a short walk (about 200 yards) from Lenox. The inn has about 15 guest rooms, nice living space, 3 dining areas including a great outdoor patio, a large perhaps 40’ x 80’ pool, and free coffee, cookies and sherry for the guests. We stayed in a suite with a 10’x10’ entry room with a couch and secretary desk, a large bedroom with a couch, chair, table and fireplace, spacious bathroom, and a relaxing outdoor porch overlooking the back yard. The innkeeper Jayne and the staff of about 6 others were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, which we enjoyed outside…

Had guests stay here for a large family birthday party. The staff was very patient with all of our guests last minute changes. The Inn itself is lovely with great rooms, common spaces and wonderful outdoor space for the little ones to play and others to gather in smaller groups. They also had an amazing menu for breakfast and provided a large barbecue Saturday night for the whole crew that was delicious and provided for various specialized diets. Overall, great place. Would look forward to using them again for any function.

My husband and I stayed at The Garden Gables Inn recently and had a wonderful time. It was truly one of our best inn stays, and we have been going to inns throughout New England for over 20 years. The rooms are impeccably clean and well appointed. The little extras like cookies and sherry were a nice touch. The grounds were beautiful. The inn is very relaxing. Breakfast was extensive and deliciously prepared. The French Toast was amazing. We can't wait to get back to The Garden Gables Inn!

Nesstled in the small town of Lenox, Massachusetts - me and my husband spent 4 days in The Garden Gables, historical early american property. We chose a small room with a private sun deck going directly out to the pool. The manager, staff and maintenance man were all extremely friendly and helpful in all situations. The grounds were full of flowers, trees and Adirondack chairs. Our stay was the best we have ever had with the weather and full country breakfast. We could not have asked for better service at the property.

Thank you again, and we hope to see you on your next trip to the Berkshires - from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn!
We had looked at a lot of inns and are so glad we selected the Garden Gables. It was in an enticing, lovely setting, walking distance to shops and restaurants but set back so that it was very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast on the glassed-in porch looking out at the lush setting was great with lots of delicious entree choices and tons of side dishes. Our cottage room, #17, was quite spacious with a very modern large bathroom with lovely L'Occitane amenities. We had a fireplace, refrigerator, Keurig, and lots of room for all our stuff, including two comfy chairs. Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and snacks all day won us over. The staff could not have been nicer. Go for it!

Dear Ann - thank you for your kind words about your time with us at the Garden Gables Inn. Room 17 is one of our guest favorites - we are so glad you enjoyed it!

We hope to see you on a future trip to Lenox - thank you again - the Garden Gables Inn.
We recently stayed 4 nights at the beautiful Garden Gables Inn. We originally booked 3 nights but upon our arrival, welcome and tour of this historic home, we were so impressed, that we opted to add a 4th night. Our room, #14 in the main Inn, was spacious with ample, comfortable seating, a love seat and two arm chairs, and a working fireplace which we welcomed each cool morning. We also had a lovely balcony which overlooked the grounds. Of special note was breakfast which included a fresh buffet of fruits, breads, pastries, hard boiled eggs and cereal along with an ample and delicious menu option of eggs, pancakes and omelets. Pat and Tony, the breakfast room staff, were attentive and couldn't do enough to make our stay pleasurable! While we briefly met the Innkeeper Jane who…

I stayed here in late April. My room was Macoun cottage, a semi-detached room at the end of a row of four cottage rooms. I was fortunate to have no one in the adjacent room, so it was quiet and peaceful. The room was decorated with a lovely four poster bed with very comfortable pillows and sheets and a warm comforter. There was a fireplace which I was sorry I didn't use and two comfortable chairs covered in a cheerful fabric. The ceiling was tall and vaulted giving an open feel to the room. The host Jane could not have been nicer. She took us to our rooms several yards from the main house and showed us around the first floor of the inn. There are two lovely sitting rooms, one with sherry and glasses that guests can help themselves to. Breakfast is served in a large…

Thank you for your gracious review and for sharing your experience during your stay with us. You are absolutely correct about breakfast - if we have the ingredients - we are only to happy to prepare it! We look forward to seeing you again - all the best from the Garden Gables Inn!
My husband and I visited the Inn for 2 nights in early May. Jayne the innkeeper will do everything possible to make your visit enjoyable. The Inn is set back from the road, but we were concerned about road noise.Jayne put us in room 15, which was quiet, nice light from Windows, a small balcony, and a view of the pool in the back. We were able to walk to restaurants and stores. We ate dinner at Cafe Zinc which was very good. My husband liked the inn because he could have his own table at breakfast, and could order off a menu. The breakfasts were wonderful. Only complaint was the guy snoring in the room next to ours,but hey it's an old inn!

Thank you so much for your gracious review of your stay with us at the Garden Gables. One of the aspects that our guests really do appreciate is easy walk from the Inn to historic Lenox village, the shops and restaurants - so glad your meal at Zinc was outstanding. We have installed soundproofing in the walls of the room you stayed in - as you mention, it is an old building, not designed with noise in mind. We will look into the situation you mention and see what other things we can do to further isolate any noise transmission. Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future!

Everything was delightful. From the moment we drove up the long winding driveway we knew we were in for a special treat. Indeed, we were greeted by squirrels and winged creatures. Simply enchanting. Everyone was both helpful and kind. Whatever we needed it was met with aplomb. We stayed in the, "Hilltop Orchard Suite," and were smitten with its charm. Extremely comfortable beds and everything was spotless. Breakfasts were substantial with a great variety offered for diverse palates. I highly recommend the Garden Gables Inn when in Lenox.

Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation - we were so happy to have you visit with us!

Perhaps the next time our resident fox will be on hand to greet you, as well! We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Thank you, The Garden Gables Inn
I visited Garden Gables Inn for a quick birthday getaway in late March 2016. It was perfectly lovely - charming but sophisticated furnishings, delicious breakfasts, friendly service, comfortable and inviting public rooms and very conveniently located. I was treated to wonderful chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday and especially enjoyed the complimentary sherry that is there for guests' enjoyment. I will definitely return for another visit, especially so I can claim the certificate for a bottle of wine from the Inn's vineyards that I also received for my birthday. :-) I highly recommend the Garden Gables Inn.

We had a wonderful stay at the Garden Gables Inn. We were greeted warmly by Jane the innkeeper. Our room was comfortable and cozy. The breakfasts were delicious.

My husband and I stayed here during part of February school vacation week for a mini babymoon getaway. I had reserved a "chef's dinner" meal the night we arrived. Justin, the chef, was great with communicating with me regarding not only our meal for that night, but also the fact that I was gluten-free. He was sure to have some gluten-free breakfast items available for me as well as my own little box of cookies for when I arrived. The breakfast was a delicious way to start the day and my husband was so in love with one of the items that Justin provided us with the recipe! The attention of the rest of the staff, especially Jayne, the inn-keeper, and Meghan, was wonderful. Everyone was always ready to help and had a smile on their face the entire time. The "sherry room" was a…

My husband and I met up with 2 other couples (lifelong friends) for a weekend at the Garden Gables Inn. My husband and I stayed in a suite which was in a separate building form the main inn. Our suite was beautiful, and roomy. We enjoyed a fireside chef's dinner on our first night. It was a private meal prepared for the 6 of us. The cost was reasonable, the food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. The inn is a short walk to a foodie town with some neat shops and galleries. The Inn has a great breakfast, along with coffee, sherry and homemeade chocolate chip cookies available all day. We hope to return and take advantage of the snowshoeing and cross country skiing another time. It was -40 with the windchill while we were there, but we were very cozy and happy at the inn.

Thank you so much for your kind words and review of your stay with us at the Garden Gables Inn. It's been an amazing winter of ups and downs in temperature, that's for sure.

My husband and I stayed at the Garden Gables Inn during a weekend away celebrating his 50th birthday. From start to finish, our stay at the Inn was wonderful! The Inn accomodated us with an early check in on Friday as well as a late check out on Sunday. We were greeted with welcome notes and a special birthday dessert. The Inn is cozy, warm and welcoming. Breakfast each morning was a treat. There was a menu of delicious freshly cooked items to choose from along with a buffet of fresh fruit, homemade muffins and breads. The service all around was excellent. On our final morning, we had massages at the Inn's spa. A perfect way to end a wonderful weekend away! We will certainly be back.

We planned a destination wedding and the Inn and its staff were AMAZING. They helped us every step of the way. While we were there, they were always available to provide EVERYTHING and ANYTHING we needed. The entire weekend (rehearsal and dinner, ceremony) was perfect. The rooms were comfortable and beautiful. They catered all our events and the food was SUPERB! Thanks Chef Justin!!!! Justin was finely in tune with everything going on. When my bride missed out on the cupcake flavor she wanted, he somehow knew about it and somehow came up with more and gave to her the next morning. He secretly made a special request and surprised me with it. He was spectacular. Jayne was the inn's special event coordinator in charge of our event and she did a spectacular job. The town is very…

My wife and I had the best weekend ever at Garden Gables Inn. Our suite was roomy, comfortable, super clean with an extra comfy king bed. The old building has lots of charm but has been nicely updated and maintained. Fireplaces everywhere made our room and the common spaces cozy. Excellent choices for breakfast that can be eaten on the enclosed porch surrounded by windows or in the dining room. We had a private romantic 4 course dinner that Chef Justin prepared for just my wife and I in the front parlor with fireplace, candles and flowers. Everything was excellent. Innkeepers could not have been nicer or more helpful. They even had a Super Bowl party for all guests!

My lifelong girlfriends and I have been coming to the Berkshires every February for 5 years now. Our first year we stayed at Garden Gables. The following 2 years we thought we'd like to try something new and ultimately decided why fix something if its not broken?! Our last 2 years have been happily back at Garden Gables and we will be back again next year! There are 6 of us so the Hilltop Orchard Suite and the Furnace Brook Winery Suite were perfect for us. The complimentary breakfast is amazing! The staff is beyond accommodating. Shops, restaurants, and boutiques within walking distance! The perfect winter getaway! Can't wait until next year!

From reservations to departure, staff seemed genuinely happy to help. The inn has a charm you can't find in modern settings. There were many fireplaces, a sunroom for breakfast, and a sherry room as well as many pleasurable offerings from chocolate chip cookies to coffee and tea available all day. Beds are extremely comfortable, rooms are clean. We enjoyed our hike and complimentary wine tasting at the associated winery. Can't wait to come back to cross country ski on the professionally designed trails at the winery.

Hopefully we will have a great ski season next winter and you will be able to experience the trails with snow! Thank you - all the best from the Garden Gables Inn.
This was the perfect place to stay for our much needed quiet, do-nothing, getaway weekend. We were celebrating an event and this was definitely the place to do it. We stayed in the Cortland room, off of the main building. We booked a spa day and it was exceptional. The hot rock massages were unbelieveable! The setting was unique and the food tremendous. We started the day playing Scrabble on an outside table, visited the nearby wineries (one of which was owned by Garden Gables), and then used the dining/patio space for a game of Yahtzee. The Inn provided the board games and quaint rooms for socializing and reading. At the end of the day we enjoyed some sherry in a room with a fireplace.

We totally enjoyed our long weekend at this wonderful Inn in Lenox. The Inn is off the road and very quiet but it is easy to just walk into town to visit shops or the restaurants. The breakfasts were amazing and the staff bent over backwards to make our stay memorable. The breakfasts were amazing; everything so fresh. Plus there was fruit, snacks, fresh baked cookies, coffee, tea, and sherry (!) always available for guests. Our room was very beautiful and we had a fire going both nights. The only minor issue we had was that there was some light that came into the room at night from the security lights outside. But the bed was so comfy, we still slept like babies.

Our head innkeeper, Jayne, I know will be so happy to read your acknowledgement of your positive experience working with her - thank you for sharing this with us and the TripAdvisor community. We hope to see you again - best wishes, and thank you from all of us!
We arrived to a warm welcome from the Manager Jayne. Immediately feeling like family. We were escorted to our home away from home and settled in. We had reserved a private dinning experience. Chef Justin prepared an outstanding meal of cod over red quinoa, maple roasted brussels sprout, salad with Chef Justin's Balsamic dressing, all topped off with the best chocolate cake I have had in a very long time. Every morning we were greeted with another fabulous breakfast, served by an impeccable wait staff. We miss our new found family in Lenox and look forward to a return trip. Muffin's are a must.

We recently wanted a quiet weekend getaway. We could not have chosen a better spot. The staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make our week me wonderful. The cottages were fabulous and spacious and extremely quiet. The chefs table dinner was nice. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for your sharing your experience at the Garden Gables Inn. As you mention, the cottage rooms are quiet and we try to make them every bit as nice as the rooms in the main house. The Chef's Table has been a great hit this season under the direction our Chef, Justin Rice, who joined us in September. From all of us at the Garden Gables - thank you! and we look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Lenox.
Fabulous experience, from the beds and bed linens to the the food and exceptional service, this was a great stay. I would highly recommend this Inn and location. Walking distance to town and at the Inn itself, every expectation was met. The staff was very friendly and always at the ready to meet every need. Great place to stay, would highly recommend.

Great spot with a lot of charm. We stayed in room 10, which had a nice suite and a beautiful fireplace. The breakfasts were all outstanding. My wife and I both spent several days lounging around our room reading for hours. Lenox is a great town and totally worth a long weekend, even in January.

Thank you for your visit and wonderful words about your stay. We are so glad you had a few days to enjoy the Inn and Lenox - the peaceful charm of the winter is something we enjoy, too! From all of us at the Garden Gables - we hope to see you again - and - Thank You!
Garden Gables met all our expectations. Although we originally wanted a room in the main house we stayed in Rm 19 in the cottage. This was a comfortable, warm room with a delightful cozy atmosphere. The Inn is very well located, within walking distance to the village of Lenox, quiet and set in spacious grounds. Breakfast was very good and varied. The real highlight was the New Year's Party and dinner. Although we were the only non Americans there we were welcomed by the other guests and enjoyed a fantastic night of fun and dancing to the great band. This was largely due to the delightful Innkeeper Jayne and the rest of the staff who made sure that everyone was made to feel welcome. We hope to return to Lenox at a future date, as the village and surrounding area has many…

How wonderful it was to meet you and have such fun together. Thank you for your lovely review of your stay at the Garden Gables - it was very much our pleasure, as well, to get to know and spend time with you. We will all remember this year's New Year's Eve Party - the camaraderie was such fun for everyone - especially all the tables being pulled together to make way for even more dance space! Thankfully a timely sprinkling of snow delivered that complete winter escape from the Australian summer you were looking for. Reaching across countries and cultures to build friendships is so important - we look forward to renewing ours with you on your next visit - all the best from all of us at the Garden Gables Inn.
Property was beautiful, Inn Keeper was very attentive and welcoming. We stayed in the McIntosh Room, very cozy with wood burning fireplace. Breakfast was amazing and liked the choices along with all the other food that was provided.

Thank you for sharing your experience - our staff will be delighted with your kind words about how much you enjoyed their service and breakfast during your stay. So glad that you enjoyed the real fireplace - there is nothing like it to make a room feel warm and cozy - we agree! We hope to see you again - thank you!
My husband took me here for my birthday and it was a wonderful winter getaway. Minutes to main street, the charming inn has a lot of character. There is a sherry room that is always open for complimentary tastings by the fire. There is an open kitchen with lots of delicious treats. The complimentary breakfast has a full continental buffet and a cook to order menu. The chef went out of his way to accommodate my food allergies. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was a cottage and had a wood burning fireplace that was very cozy. The lovely inn keeper brought us chocolate covered strawberries to celebrate my birthday.The food in the inn is excellent, the rooms are quaint and I would absolutely go back here again. It was so relaxing and romantic.

Please do think of us the next time you visit the Berkshires - we look forward to seeing you again! Best regards from the Garden Gables Inn!
My husband and I stayed here in the beginning of December. We were surprised but delighted to find that we were the only guests at the Inn that weekend. The room: We stayed in the Furnace Brook Winery Suite 10 and it was wonderful. There is a lovely sitting area and the TV on the wall over the fireplace could be turned so that you could watch either in bed or on the couch. The bed itself was a bit high off the ground but very comfortable. The bathroom had a huge claw foot tub and separate shower area. Robes were provided in the hall closet as well. We were able to light an actual fire in the fireplace - which was great! - using starter logs as opposed to the standard gas fireplace that you tend to find in most inns. There is a Kurig machine in the room with coffee…

One of the wonderful things we love about the winter is how the slower pace presents us with the opportunity to do even more than usual to provide our guests with our best effort. Thank you for your lovely words - it was our pleasure to have the time and space to make your stay extra special. Our Furnace Brook suite is a real favorite with guests and we are so glad you enjoyed it so. We look forward to your return visit! From all of us at the Garden Gables - Happy New Year!
We had a wonderful stay at the Garden Gables Inn. Jayne was a great host, warm and attentive. Lydia and Megan were great servers. Chef Justin was outstanding. We had the private dinner in the library which is an available amenity and it was delicious and oh so romantic. Chef Justin even gave me the recipe for the delicious flourless cake. Our room was beautiful, spotlessly clean. We loved the logs for the fireplace and the beautiful decor. I had a hot stone, deep tissue massage with Marci which is probably the best I've ever had.

We look forward to seeing you again at the Garden Gables Inn - Happy New Year! With best regards, Wendy
My husband and I had one of our best getaways ever at the Garden Gables. We went for a holiday getaway and a birthday celebration and can't think of anything that would have made it better. The inn is beautiful and perfectly appointed. We had a lovely chef's dinner at the inn that was amazing and culminated with Jayne, Justin, and Lydia singing me happy birthday :) The inn is a delight around the holidays with the fireplaces roaring and cozy common rooms for relaxing and drinking sherry. Breakfasts were over-the-top awesome and Jayne and Lydia took fabulous care of us all weekend. Can't wait to go back!

We are delighted to have had your company, Happy New Year, and hoping to see you again in Lenox - all the best from the Garden Gables Inn!
I thoroughly enjoyed my recent weekend trip to the Garden Gables Inn. As it was the weekend before Christmas, the Inn was decorated beautifully and the on-going fireplaces in the downstairs common areas were wonderful and inviting. The incredibly kind and attentive staff (including Jayne, Megan, and Lydia) added to the charm of the place. The breakfasts each morning were delicious and made-to-order, and finding restaurants for lunch and dinner was incredibly easy, due to the Inn's location within walking distance of Lenox's many restaurants. I will absolutely return again!

Thank you for such a kind review of your stay at the Garden Gables Inn, and for recognizing the contributions of our staff to making your stay so enjoyable. December is one of our favorite times of the year, and we are delighted to have been able to enjoy your company. We certainly look forward to your return visit. All the best from the Garden Gables Inn - and Happy New Year!
Garden Gables Inn is your luxury home away from home. Their staff is attentive, their grounds are well groomed, and their rooms are clean and comfortable. Garden Gables provides a full and delicious breakfast to all their guests. The options are vast; thick cut bacon, creamy quiche, fluffy pancakes, stuffed french toast.....delicious. the Inn is located just a block away from the beginning of the town strip so there is no need to drive. If adventures beyond Lenox are needed, they are just a quick drive away (like Pittsfield). You can visit their winery and experience a complimentary tasting as a guest of the Inn. While there you can also hike the grounds, regardless of the weather, they can outfit you.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Garden Gables for two nights. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else. My room was impeccably maintained and clean. The bed was wonderful and the fireplace in my room was charming, The inn is beautifully decorated with a perfect blend of New England charm and sophistication. Breakfast in the morning was relaxing, and the food was wonderful. The staff was polite and friendly. This is a top notch experience. Extremely well done.

Thank you so much for acknowledging our staff, who make it all happen. We hope to see you again on your next trip to the Berkshires, and happy holidays!
Upon the moment we were greeted by Jayne, we knew our stay at Garden Gables would be special. All of the fireplaces were glowing and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We were upgraded to a romantic room with a lit fireplace and a note wishing us happy anniversary. Sherry by the fire, a nice dinner out, then back for the evening. The breakfast the next morning was terrific. Highly recommend Garden Gables.

Thank you so much! It is a pleasure and a privilege to be selected to host an anniversary getaway for such a wonderful couple and be able to make it extra special for you. We are so glad that you truly enjoyed your time with us! Nothing is more important to us than a recommendation from our guests to each other – thank you for that, and happy holidays to you both!
I hosted my sister's bridal shower/tea at the Garden Gables Inn on Sunday, Nov. 29. Lydia and Tori went out of their way to make sure that the event went off without a hitch and ensure it was everything we had asked for- from linens to food, music to setup. All of my 30 guests loved the inn and the delicious pastries - especially the cream puffs. It was the perfect setting for our bridal tea and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to host wedding-related events or tea parties!

Thank you for your wonderful words, especially for recognizing everything that our staff contributed to make things come off “without a hitch” for you, your sister and your guests. Our chef specializes in pastries and desserts – hearing how delicious they were is so rewarding! And nothing means more to us than knowing that this special day was everything you wanted it to be.
We are a couple from NYC and had a perfect weekend stay at the Garden Gables - the cozy room with fireplace, central yet private location in Lenox (tucked away from the road on a pretty estate), and friendly staff were all highlights. We look forward to a return stay!

A much needed getaway brought us to the inn. The inn is a wonderful place to stay. The amenities they offer include coffee all day with delicious cookies. They also offer sherry all day as well which was wonderful after our grueling ride there in the rain. The innkeeper and staff are wonderful. They are there for all your needs. The village of Lennox is within walking distance and offers quaint shops and quality restaurants. We have stayed at the inn in the past and would not hesitate to stay again.

I thoroughly enjoyed a weekend at the inn. I was celebrating with college friends and we had an amazing time. We had a private building to ourselves that comfortably slept 8. We had a delicious chef dinner in the library on Friday night complete with roaring fire and excellent service. The staff went out of their way to make the weekend special for us. Including delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies brought in during a long game of dominoes as well as restaurant and local recommendations. Anything we need or wanted was provided. Only a 5 minute walk into town. Would go back with my friends or my husband in a second!

Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone and your lovely review. We so enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you on your next trip to the Berkshires!
If you like charming and unique accommodations, you'll love the Garden Gables Inn. I've stayed in several of the rooms - my favorite is 7, because it's cozy and red, but all of those I have been in are beautiful, and they manage to be classy and antique-feeling while still being minimalist, clean, and elegant. The breakfast is amazing (my favorite was the autumn-themed omelette with goat cheese, carmelized onions, roasted mushrooms, and sweet potatoes, but there's also a full contintental bar with yogurt, fruit, cheese, homemade granola and baked goods, bagels and lox...!). You get a free wine tasting and apple picking at their sister orchard/winery 15 minutes away. And, the owner is an arts patron and supporter, which is a bonus if you're one of those people, like me, who comes…

Thank you for sharing so many interesting aspects of your stay at the Garden Gables. The arts and culture of the Berkshires is hard to beat, and as you point out, now offers great options in the autumn - in fact, almost year-round there is something going on. Each of our rooms is decorated with its own style - Room 7 is tucked away under the gables and has an artistic flair to it. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us - we look forward to seeing you again soon!
My wife and I spent two nights along with my parents at this inn. We enjoyed a lot the hotel itself, the friendliness of the staff and the location. The property is beautiful and you really feel like you are in your home. We would sit by the fireplace in one of the living rooms and chat there for hours. Breakfast was also good, with specials made to order.

As seasoned travelers, we are pretty tough customers in some ways. We've seen over 200 inns across the country (and world) and we know what makes a good one. There are the basics, of course: Cleanliness, Innkeepers who care about their property and are helpful and kind, a delicious breakfast.... Some, of course, take their love of innkeeping and create something very special, and that is what you will find here!! We stayed three nights at this inn and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to New England. Set on 5 splendid acres that are treed and flowered, it was decorated for Fall with pumpkins, mums, cornstalks and more. There was ample parking, and upon arrival....my first word was..............ahhhhhhh!! It is furnished in traditional furnishings that…
