Should you to try to hitchhike from Boston to the Berkshires for the Tanglewood Festival, should you spend 4 fruitless hours at a dusty tollgate, find out that in spite of Simon and Garfunkel hitching hasn't been de rigeur since the 60s, and arrive in Lenox after dark via a taxi, an emergency pick-up truck, and the back of a... more

We just got back from our visit to Lenox. Ah, the Cornell Inn. What a lovely place: immaculate grounds, charming landscaping, and very conveniently located. The food was also excellent. Oh, and the hospitality... well, that left a little something to be desired. The couple who run it are obviously committed to creating a beautiful environment, but smiles are rare,... more

Bad Policies, from drink to smoke to no kids. If you are young and plan to have fun in the town, I highly recommend not to stay in this Inn. Policies are not mentioned clearly visible on the homepage or reservation page of the website or in the confirmation email. more

We stayed here for three nights and had a marvelous time. The room (the Tower) was large and clean with an nice sitting area. The breakfasts were excellent and the innkeepers were friendly but not intrusive. The landscaping is well done with the patio/waterfall being an especially beautiful area to have breakfast. Downtown is just a short stroll. If you... more

Stayed at the Cornell Inn for a wedding recently. Upon arrival I was very happy; nice welcome, lovely room and great service. Everything went a bit sour the next night, I read in advance about the strict policies and was happy to abide by whatever they wanted. Therefore when it was 8:45pm and I knew I wanted a drink I... more

I have stayed at the Cornell Inn several times over the past two years and each time just gets better. I have had the opportunity to visit at different times of the year and have stayed in a variety of rooms. I have enjoyed the comfort of the rooms and appreciated the access to a microwave and refrigerator. There was... more

We just returned from a Berkshire birthday getaway weekend for my wife. It was our second stay with Billie and Doug at their Cornell Inn. I don't typically travel to the same locations more than once but the Inn is a great, centrally located getaway. The offseason rates are great, the Innkeepers hospitable, the rooms clean with crisp sheets, and... more

This guest house was clean and tidy, and a 15-25min walk from Lenox town centre, or 3 mins in the car. The owners were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was very good (hot self service - although the breakfast room got very busy). We took their smallest room, which is also the cheapest, and it was fine for us.... more

Last December we spent two nights at the Cornell Inn in one week (Wednesday and Friday) and travelled around in between. While the hosts were very friendly and the place very nice, the hosts missed to tell us that the rate for the second night was USD 40.00 higher than for the first night. Especially after the first good impression... more

A group of us stayed for the New Year;s Day weekend and had a terrific time. Yes, there are rules, but the owners, Billie and Doug, were charming and friendly. They sat and spoke with us daily and encouraged this interaction. They were helpful in offering suggestions of landmarks in the area and would check in to see if we... more
