The Berkshires are wonderful to visit for a weekend or for a month, and the Garden Gables Inn makes it completely terrific. The amenities and accommodations are comparable to any 5-star hotel you can name, with a New England flair and coziness that do not neglect modern convenience. Light switches are where you would hope, privacy is ensured, TV reception is great, and the mattress is probably the best one we have slept on away from our own. Terrific upkeep, lovely breakfast every morning, generous snacking with teas, coffee, ice cream (!), fresh baked goods (really yummy!), and toiletries of the highest quality (L'Occitane). Fireplaces and free parking, lovely decor and Lenox right across the street (walk or drive), Garden Gables would be great at the height of summer (pool and Tanglewood proximity), welcoming glorious Fall and Spring seasonal changes, or cozying up during winter snowfalls.
