Lovingly furnished, this century-old New England home --
now a bed and breakfast inn -- offers its guests
tranquility amid a completely smoke-free environment,
surrounded by the beauty of the Berkshires and a tradition
of poetry and literature.
Choose from 15 unique guest rooms, each decorated with
antiques and period pieces and offering a comfortable bed,
private bath, and air conditioning. Ceiling fans,
telephones, and hairdryers are standard, while many rooms
boast canopy beds, fireplaces, CD players, TVs, and DVD
players. Lodging accommodations in Shadowood, the
Victorian-style carriage house, are exquisitely appointed.
Lavish amenities at Shadowood include fireplaces,
entertainment systems, whirlpool tubs, in-room coffee
makers and refrigerators, and private decks.
Back in the main Inn, the fully stocked guest pantry
offers coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cookies.
Refrigerators, an icemaker, and a hot water tap add to
guests' convenience. And for those guests who like to
maintain a connection with the outside world, high-speed
wireless Internet access is available.
Discover the Library, the focal point of the Inn, with
its extensive collection of poetry, both traditional and
contemporary, along with other fine literature as well as
a good selection of popular books. Your hosts showcase a
poem of the day each morning, and they encourage guests to
browse their collection and find a book to read in front
of the Library fireplace, in your room, in the gardens
outside, in the hammock, or beside the heated outdoor
pool.
At Brook Farm Inn, a full breakfast buffet awaits you
each morning, and English tea with homemade scones and
strawberry jam is served each afternoon. Poetry readings
and other entertainments are held throughout the year.
Linda, an accomplished storyteller, puts her talents to
good use for the benefit of Brook Farm's guests. |

A short leisurely walk from the Inn finds you in historic
Lenox village, steeped in appealing boutiques, antique
treasures, art galleries, and splendid restaurants. You can
visit Edith Wharton's home, The Mount, as well as Chesterwood
and the Norman Rockwell Museum. Lenox is a place for all
seasons, equally beautiful and intriguing when the color and
woodsmoke of autumn fills the air to when the sparkle of
winter lights gleam on glistening snow.
There are many dance, music, art, and performance venues
throughout the year, so be sure to ask your hosts to provide
details. In the spring, picturesque hiking over mountain paths
will rejuvenate the spirit, while in summer the Boston
Symphony at Tanglewood will be music to your ears. See dance
at Jacob's Pillow or enjoy a play at Shakespeare and Company,
just around the corner. Golf, skiing, boating, and tennis are
nearby as well. |
