    The LakeHouse Inn takes the cake when it comes to comfy, wrap-me-up-in-a-blanket, frigid may I say, winter feels. After spending the Christmas holiday in Cape Cod, we decided to switch things up a bit during one of my long weekend January school breaks to spend it in the Berks. LakeHouse Inn was everything my husband and I wanted to unwind. I'm talking about a lake facing you, toasty lounge area and that homey feel WITHOUT doilies, outdatedness, or mish-mash around. Heavens no- not here. There are several dreadful Inns in the Berks that certainly gave me an eyesore- but hubs and I were taken care of in more ways than one when we came here. Checking in on a Friday night was easy. We met Cody that night and mentioned that: the entrance door is shut at a certain time at night and there's a code to enter using the electronic keypad door lock, that breakfast is available, that there's wine & cheese hour and a few other things. My husband originally booked from Friday-Monday. But with the Berkshires' impending snowstorm starting on a Sunday night and ending late Monday morning, we wanted to avoid the slippery roads by heading home a day early. Because of our unexpected short stay, Cody gave us the green light to squeeze in a few more hours that Sunday to check out at any time. The 1st floor has the lounge area, lobby restroom, dining room and kitchen in the back. As a reminder, the front staircase is used to go upstairs only and the staircase located by the kitchen, is what you'd use to exit only if you're on the top floors. Our balcony, Laurel Lake-front room was all that. Walk-in shower was great and so were the BeeKind shower products. But our freshly made bed with crisp, white bedding, was the centerpiece because it was definitely calming, inviting and luxurious. LakeHouse+Cody didn't let us down. Everything worked in sync, giving us an excellent stay and INCREDIBLE service. We were treated to a super cozy, clean stay, above and beyond friendly service and awesome homemade breakfast. The restoration- from what I've read, definitely looks like it's been their labor of love and attention to detail, is all here.

    My family and I came to The Lakehouse Inn this weekend for my mom's birthday. It was our first time here. Everything was amazing! The staff was so kind and helpful! It felt like we were home. So cozy and intimate! The room and whole inn was super clean! The staff suggested great places to dine and visit. They have a sitting room where they have a puzzle table and games to play. Every morning they served an amazing complimentary sit down breakfast. Kathleen was our chef and she was so friendly and hospitable. We will definitely return for another visit! (The homemade complementary Sangria is delicious!)

    The LakeHouse Inn is an absolute retreat from everyday life. We booked a two night stay for our anniversary and last "hooray" before our first born arrives. From the second you open the front door you feel embraced with historic charm and your worries melt away. From the floors to the ceiling, every single detail was thought of. We stayed in the King room with a balcony that overlooked the lake. The room was spotless and smelled of fresh linens. The bathroom was pristine, with honeycomb tiled floors and a steam shower that does not disappoint. The beds were heaven! We felt so rested. They serve breakfast in the morning which consisted of the best coffee cake we've ever had, fresh fruit and an egg and hash dish that was incredible. They change up the breakfast options everyday. At 4pm they serve wine and cheese in the kitchen. You truly get what you pay for and more. Although it rained both days of our stay, we were able to catch some peaceful moments on the dock overlooking the lake. There's also a gas fire pit, adorandak chairs and lounge furniture outside overlooking the untouched vegetation across the lake. Both owners (Maggie and Cody) were present through our stay. They were warm and welcoming and it was inspiring to see 20-somethings running an incredible business. We can't wait to return!

    We just returned from 5 days in Paradise. Maggie and Cody have significantly improved the inn's inside and are the most gracious hosts. The outside is heaven sent. A tree lined, expansive backyard overlooking a bluff,a porch with the most comfortable chairs and a wonderful Beach and dock with kayaks and paddleboats make this a venue for any activity or just no activity. The rooms are great with the most comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms with glass enclosed modem showers. It's Eight minutes from Tanglewood, fifteen from Great Barrington and accessible to all the attractions. This is the perfect vacation place. We love it.

Our room was as nice as we…read morecould have hoped, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, high-quality bedding, and a bathroom with a wonderfully large walk-in shower. The staff proved to be uniformly pleasant people, always helpful. The public spaces -- the dining areas and especially the recently refurbished parlor rooms which are stocked with drinks and hors d'oeuvres in the late afternoon -- are a genuine delight. So much is good here. But we have given the inn four stars not five because of the disappointing breakfasts. We were served very overcooked casseroles, overcooked scrambled eggs, grossly undercooked bacon and rather sad bits of yogurt. They really need some improvements here. That said -- and we know it requires us to be honest -- we would definitely look forward to returning with fingers crossed for some improvements in the breakfasts. And yes, 33 Main is on the pricey side, but it's high season for Tanglewood -- a very short drive away -- and given the quality here we think it's well worth considering a splurge.

Location is perfect for exploring Lenox. On the corner of Church street, where all the great restaurants and gastro pubs are located. The inn itself is very dated. The carpet in the common areas is frayed and stained. Our room was ok at best. There were signs throughout the room on how to turn on the shower, open the windows and work the AC. Was just strange. Also, most rooms are on the 2nd floor, and I don't believe I saw an elevator. Breakfast is included with the room. It's pretty straightforward for options. Again, the wait staff was great (and after breakfast they are the ones that clean the rooms). There is a beautiful lounge/bar area. A great place to grab a glass of wine before heading out to diner. It closes very early as there is a guest room right behind it, which is too bad as it would be a great place to come back to for an espresso martini after dinner. There is also a restaurant on sight that seemed pretty busy for diner, but we did not have a meal there. Me and my significant other went out to grab coffee one morning and came back to the inn to relax and read our books. There is no place to sit in the entire inn to sit and relax. It an old mansion I would have expected an area to sit and enjoy your coffee. We ended up sitting at a table that is used for dinner. Just not what I expected. Overall, great and friendly staff that was top notch. The inn and rooms were OK at best. I'd stay there again, understanding that it just isn't up to what one would expect at a B&B in Lenox.

    Very nice atmosphere, very good burgers, local beer,fries and Cesar salad…read more We enjoyed the young piano player in the main dining room. Disappointed that they didn't have outdoor seating, it was such a beautiful evening. Very nice hostess . We waited quite a while for the burgers and for our check. While I adore classical music and especially piano players, I believe a short break after 4 or 5 songs would be appreciated.

On the south side, you wake up to a sun-drenched, turn-of-the century luxury that you didn't know existed. Fireplaces in every room, and in every public room invites you down to a 15-foot dining table decorated (at least last week) in beautiful and lovely Christmas motif with real china. Frank Newton, proprietor, makes every guest feel as if he is lord of the manor. Melissa keeps the 1800s mansion in sparkling condition. We stayed in the Eleanor Roosevelt room with a canopy bed and pull out couch, as well as a desk for writing those letters back home. (Free wireless internet included for that back to century feel.) If you are heading to the Berkshires or Tanglewood, your stopover should be the Summer White House.

Luckily, they had a room available and even offered to take $50 off the price. The location was perfect, right in the middle of Lenox. We were even able to walk to and from Tanglewood, avoiding the traffic in and out of the parking lot. Our room was nicely appointed with a nice little patio. There were so many interesting books, paintings and pictures on the walls. In the morning, we had a nice simple breakfast that was included in the price -- baked egg dish, boiled eggs, pastries, cereal, milk, coffee. Would definitely come back and stay in the future when we come back to the Berkshires. Of note, their website didn't allow up to pick a date in 2017 to reserve a room so we had to call in to make the reservations. Probably easier to just call ahead rather than deal with the website. Anyways, had a wonderful time and looking forward to going back soon!
