We loved the mid-century modern architecture, furniture, and art. The magnificent views of Mt. Greylock, and the beautiful gardens, fields, and a pond were magical. We appreciated the two breakfast choices each morning, and the food was freshly prepared and delicious. Be sure to wander the trails on the property and admire the sculptures. We've already made a reservation for a longer stay the next time we're in the Berkshires.

Our room was lovely, with comfortable twin beds, down pillows, and an incredible view in the morning. We slept very well. Our host, Pan, was a real delight! She provided a good breakfast with homemade jam and a lot of helpful information about Williamstown, where we had never been. We had a terrific weekend and will certainly stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay with Lesa at Blackinton Manor this weekend. We were in the…read morearea to move our youngest son back to school, and our oldest son and my parents came along. Lesa welcomed us when we arrived after dinner and made us feel at home with homemade baked goods and wine. Our rooms were lovely, and although the manor is two hundred years old, it has all the amenities one would expect in modern accommodations. The beds are extremely comfortable as well. Breakfast was a treat, a feast of local yogurt, homemade scones, tea cake, frittata, fruit, and ham. Lesa is the perfect host--warm, welcoming, accommodating, talented in the kitchen, and genuinely concerned with providing her guests with a wonderful getaway. Staying in her lovely home feels like visiting a friend. We will return whenever we are in the area. The Blackinton is a gem!!

If I believed any place I was reviewing was terrible I would never say it was awesome, so just because I know the innkeeper doesn't mean I'm sugarcoating my experience. I wanted to share that I think the Blackinton Manor is a lovely place to stay in the Berkshires. The hostess really cares about her guests' full experience. She strives to use locally sourced products whenever she can. She wants everyone to feel like they are comfortable and at home in her home, and I definitely felt comfortable here. And she makes yummy and hearty breakfasts. If you're lucky enough to be served the sticky buns, you're in for a real treat. Stay here. You won't regret it. Things to note: She does have a dog, who while friendly and gentle, is still a dog and will be at the Manor while you're there. So if you're not a dog person, this might not be the place for you. Also, if you have food allergies or restrictions, be sure to disclose them. She'll ask when you arrive but it's nice to let her know in advance so she can prepare for your stay and make your meal as yummy and accommodating as possible.

The free channels TV doesn't connect well but it's there. There is WiFi too.There is a central bright light or at least in my room to make it inviting to read. I really like that. The switch was a bit tricky to find for it as I thought it would've been an outside light but it is a good thing I tried all the switches. It feels like which the slight juxtaposition of the light switch for the center of the room, they had read a prior review that said the room felt a bit too dark. While a typical motel and even hotels might not consider being accommodating to this aspect, this motel wants to stay at the top quality and rank wise and they really get it. Because of the area they are in and the competition with Maple Terrace, they want to stay competitive but they really seem to enjoy managing a motel here too. The staffer was telling me how this motel is #1 in the area and bragged about the breakfast. Maple Terrace seems very comparable with here but I get the sense they offer more food here. Seems like you can't go wrong by with either is my impression. If you've never been here before, you should start here for the fresh fruit offered if nothing else. The pool here is out of commission at the time of this review. I don't know where it is and I asked. I think the guy was trying to tell me it was being cleaned or needed a lot of work. This continental breakfast is one of the best in the area. I definitely ended on this place because it is still reasonably priced by today's standards and you get a lot for your money. You can tell a lot of care was put into everything and you aren't just another number. I wanted to take one of every fruit because it would guarantee I would eat healthy for a bit more but so felt embarrassed even though I probably could. The night before, they let me have two bottles of water and a sugar free apple juice and then gave me two more water bottles. With the weather and traveling, I would not turn down free water.

I checked the ceilings, the floors, and the corners just because I couldn't find anything wrong with the room. We had an adequate refrigerator, and microwave, both very clean. Yes the motel is old-ish, yes some of the furniture is dated but that just added to the charm. Who cares if it's old as long as it is clean and in good repair? It brings you back to a slower time and lifestyle. With the very comfortable Adirondack chairs and table in front of every room, we sat, slowed down, and enjoyed the view of the mountain across the street. The bed and the big soft recliner were very comfortable and we slept well. The call to the desk for our breakfast was answered by a very friendly and helpful person who brought our order right to our door with a smile. It's hard to tell how much COVID influenced our breakfast, we didn't get to eat in the dining area but when we return here, we hope to be able to check the breakfast out. Of course, the pool was still closed at this time of year (April) but from what I could see it looks inviting and well maintained. Can't wait to stay here again.

Traveling in the Berkshires and want that old school "revolutionary war" Inn experience? River Bend…read moreFarm is the place for you! It's an old house. There are old objects in your room (aka "antiques"). It kinda smells.... you guessed it, old. We stayed in the Parlor room. Visually it looked great, but our bed was rock hard and our pillows squishy soft. Not a good combination. They had extra pillows, but they smelled of moth-balls, so we declined using them. The owners/hosts are amazing! They gave us a country breakfast of homemade granola, fruit, yogurt, homemade muffins and breads, and coffee/tea. They also hung out and told us about local history and their extensive collection of antiques. All in all, River Bend was the epitome of the B&B experience; an interesting house and interesting hosts. Sure their beds could have been more comfortable, but then it wouldn't have been in keeping with the revolutionary war theme.

No ropes across the furniture....you can enjoy life in Colonial times unfettered as did the 10 children who once lived here! Our bathroom was the former butter churn room, evidenced by the presence of butter churns. Our bed was comfortable and modern with top quality linens/bedding, as we dreamt of a bygone era in a room restored to its original glory. There's a children's oriented book on the night table in the parlor room (we slept here) where George Washington and dignitaries stayed in this tavern owned by war hero and landowner, Col. Benjamin Simonds in 1770, a founder of Williamstown. I read the history of the area and in the morning, owners Dave and Judy Loomis generously hosted us with a fantastic homemade breakfast including gems such as quince jam from quince grown on their farm, served with period silverware in the 1770 kitchen with the huge original fireplace and rare baking oven. They lovingly restored this home and made exciting discoveries about Colonial times during the process. Didn't miss a TV...we felt transported back in time and it was magical! This was the best part of our visit to Williamstown!
