What’s special: This comfortably elegant 1766 mansion is located in the historic village of Lenox, Massachusetts — just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Valley. Many of the inn’s 11 guest rooms and suites boast four-poster beds, fireplaces, large sitting areas, antique décor, and mountain or garden views. Voted “Best Breakfast in New England” by Arrington’s Inn Traveler Magazine, Birchwood Inn’s breakfast is a multi-course feast of seasonal fruit dishes, homemade breads, and hot entrées served in the 19th-century dining room overlooking the front garden. After a day of activities you can return for afternoon tea and freshly baked pastries served on the front porch in the summer and early fall, or fireside in cooler seasons. Birchwood Inn is also dog-friendly and a member of Select Registry: Distinguished Inns of North America.
