Garden Gables Inn

I had to laugh at the review below which said that he would have gotten better service at a Holiday Inn. If you like Holiday Inns, you should stay in one, no matter where you go. If Holiday Inns make you feel a little soul-​deadened, and 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 they’re all 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 to the Berkshires for the theater and music. So yup, if you’re into Holiday Inns, you won’t like it. More for the rest of us!

Bad sign when you are paying over $ 400 a night and they tell you when you arrive the key will be under the door. Had to schlep bags up a creaky staircase, breakfast starts at 7;30 which is very odd and takes forever to get served. Oh yeah, charming and all that BS but give me a hotel any day of the week. Place needs people on duty to serve their customer. I would get better served at a Holiday Inn Express.

Just got back. Nice two days. Breakfast was good and there are always chocolate chip cookies available.
Got a massage — very relaxing. They also have someone who does facials there, will try next time.

I spent the weekend in the Berkshires with family and girlfriends and the Garden Gables Inn provided an extremely pleasant stay — I will definitely come back! Denise, the innkeeper, was very accommodating and did everything to make all of us feel welcomed. The ambiance in my suite, sherry room, and dining room was divine. My favorite was having breakfast in their beautiful sunroom — very relaxing. The location is walking distance from the town and breakfast provided was absolutely delicious! Overall, an excellent place to stay while visiting the Berkshires.

Was recommended here from a friend and was looking for a quiet few days in the Berkshires to enjoy the remaining days of winter. Since it was consodered «off peak» I was given a 3^rd night free after 2 nights. Have to say I was extremely pleased with my room arrangements and had an outstanding breakfast. My hosts at the Inn were extremely accomadating to me and made for such a pleasant stay. I would def come back again. Had a wonderful experience.

Just a wonderful place in a wonderful location. The setting is perfect with lots of green everywhere. The people who run Garden gable are just outstanding… nice, personable, and genuine. The location is really close to many of the amazing restaurants and very close to Tanglewood. I was especially blown away by the breakfast… omg their omelets are made with Berkshire organic eggs, amazing Belgium waffles, french toast, and waffles of many sorts. they also have the most amazing sausage and bacon. I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic inn! Loved the Moon lit hike and Winery! Denise is a wonderful innkeeper!

Our stay in Lenox was completely serendipitous. With our upcoming wedding in the Berkshires scheduled this spring, my fiancé and I traveled to Lenox to audition caterers for the big event. When our plans to return home that evening were foiled by a snow-​storm, we decided to treat ourselves to a relaxing stay at a local inn. With the Garden Gables already in mind to potentially host our wedding party, we thought we would try the inn for the evening and get a first-​hand experience to inform our decision. Despite our hasty arrival, the innkeepers made us feel like they had been expecting us for days. Their hospitality and warm manner were quite inviting. Furthermore, the inn is absolutely charming and very well appointed. While it maintains a comfortable cottage-​home feel, the Garden Gables also gives a sense of rustic elegance. We have no doubt that the well-​to-​do would be quite comfortable there. Of particular note was the breakfast service. With a simple yet complete menu, the food is delicious. I highly recommend the blueberry pancakes. In short, we’ve made up our minds and cannot imagine staying anywhere else this spring.

Much to my husband’s disdain, I love barns. When we met, I had a whole wall full of paintings of barns. Evidence of my dream of a less hectic, more rural life, I suppose. Two moves later, and my barns are a thing of the past — no place for them in a Mid-​Century Modern house, I suppose. Still, the nostalgic affection remains.
So when we were planning our trip to the Berkshires with Steve’s parents, he went out of his way to find me a hotel that looked something like a barn, and found it in the Green Gables Inn. Okay, so it’s a gabled cottage from the 1700s with newer gambrel-​roofed additions, painted white, not red, but it still fit my barn image enough to make me smile.
In person, the Garden Gables didn’t disappoint. It sits on a couple of tree-​shrouded acres, making it look rustic, even though it’s just down the street from the main part of Lenox. It has cozy sitting rooms inside and comfortable adirondack chairs outside, where you can read a book and enjoy their complimentary lemonade or sherry.
The breakfast, included with the price of the room, was fabulous. Your choice of eggs, French toast, or pancakes, plus a large selection of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, danish, croissants, toast, etc. Basically, we didn’t have to buy lunch after the generous breakfast at the inn!
Staff was always helpful and friendly, and our two rooms were small (they were both in the original part of the inn) but very comfortable and pretty. And with all the public spaces available to guests, we really only needed to sleep in our room.
We loved both Lenox and the Berkshires, and if we return we’ll stay at the Garden Gables Inn again!
