Ellen, I first wanted to say how happy I was to finally meet you personally, since our first email you warmth and kindness came across the web instantly. Now I see why so many of your clients return every year, it is like going home minus the stress. Secondly, I haven't stayed in many B&B before but after this weekend... More

One of the most heartwarming and comfortable stays we ever had. Ellen and David were incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and caring. The weekend both at the inn and in experiencing the town was magical from the countryside to the locals, and of course our hostess and host are alone worth the drive to Lenox. Thank you so much for making it... More

Just got back from a two-night stay at this charming bed and breakfast in Lenox, MA with another couple and had a wonderful time. Beautiful rooms, great breakfasts and tea time snacks, friendly and welcoming hosts (and doggies) combined to provide us with a relaxed and fun time. Very highly recommended. More

We loved our stay at the Birchwood! Our suite was grand yet comfortable with a charming old fashion fireplace. Food was exemplary, both at breakfast and afternoon tea. Ellen is a great chef and has created some unique breakfasts including a delicious Parmesan shell filled with herbed eggs. We were especially impressed with the common areas that are filled with...

It is particularly gratifying when other innkeepers enjoy their stay at Birchwood Inn. Innkeepers firmly believe that bed and breakfasts are "the better way to stay." I can't wait to visit your inn on the Cape! More

If you are looking for perfection personified - look no further. You will want to move in and never leave. The house is magnificent furnished with beautiful antiques. The staff is incredibly helpful, warm, friendly and efficient. Ellen (the owner) is a superb master chef who works with her staff to prepare fantastic gourmet breakfasts each morning. David (the innkeeper)... More

We spent a couple of nights at Birchwood Inn in October and had the spectacular room in the loft, which was very pink, beautifully equipped and very well maintained, if ever so slightly chilly at times. Breakfast was superb and made all the more enjoyable by the gorgeous presence of the two dogs. Quinn, the Inn's golden retriever , is... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Birchwood on a recent trip to New England and we were so pleased we chose the Birchwood! We stayed in the beautiful Hubbard room, and I wish I could eat breakfast there every morning. The food was spectacular, we had homemade waffles, grilled pineapple with raspberry smash, blueberry corn muffins, ham, freshly... More

Just returned from another lovely trip to the Birchwood Inn! We stayed in the beautiful Dana Room and enjoyed scrumptious breakfasts, hot cider and home baked goodies in the library for late afternoon tea and a perfect spot to venture out into the stunning Berkshires. Ellen and David could not be more kind and welcoming! Quinn and Piper (the resident... More

My husband and I just returned from having stayed at the Birchwood Inn in the MacDonald room. The Birchwood is the perfect New England Inn, with all the warm cozy touches, including a resident golden retriever, a porch with the rocking chairs, comfy drawing room with a fireplace and lots of books for perusing. The location is perfect too. Walk... More

We stayed in the Dana Room of the Birchwood Inn for three nights. We liked: Ellen the Innkeeper. She was warm and informative without being intrusive. David, the chef. The breakfasts were delicious and served in a beautiful setting. There were enough tables that a party of two could sit alone, or join others, if desired. Quinn, the dog. A... More

Thank you for letting us know what you enjoyed about Birchwood Inn as well as letting us know where we need to improve. Unfortunately steep stairs are part and parcel of a 1766 home; however, David, our manager/concierge is available to assist with luggage most days before 5 pm and until 8:30 pm on Fridays. There is very little traffic... More
