“A bit right of center”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

The owner went a bit overboard with what I'll politely call his "right of center social views." If that's not your thing, you might have a hard time at the Whistler's Inn. The breakfast was warm and generous in a lovely room, the bedroom however was on the cold side. The interior is old, when was the last time money was spent on maintenance or renovations? I suppose it's charming to have a toilet seat as old as the house - the large square footage and coffee maker in the hallway were nice. Sorry to say, but I'll look for a different B&B next time I'm in the area.

“Wonderful Stay in Berkshire Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

We wanted to stay in an Inn in the Berkshires and we are certainly glad we found Whistler’s Inn in one of our searches. It is in a good location in the historic town of Lenox, Mass; well situated for exploring the Berkshires. Our hostess was wonderful during our stay. She was friendly and helpful about good restaurants in the area and helped out when we had difficulty with the WIFI. You could tell she truly enjoyed meeting and talking with her guests. Our room (The Hunt Room) was comfortable and large. Everything was clean, although some signs of age are showing (not a bad thing in an Inn with character). There was a library, sitting room and sun room – I will attach pictures. We certainly had the feeling that we were welcome to use any of these rooms. We walked down the hill to the business section of Lenox and had supper outside. It is not far and a comfortable walk (evening walking back up the hill). Breakfast in the dining room was delightful – french toast made fresh with lots of other goodies to enjoy. The grounds are beautiful and I wish I had taken more time to spend in the garden.

Room Tip: Ask to see the rooms and ask for one in your price range (we didn't do this)

“Half-hearted attempt at inn keeping”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in the "Africa Room". The toilet didn't flush properly, the bed was hard as a rock, the ceilings fans swayed so much and made so much noise we had to turn them off, the swivel chair in the room was broken. The buffet breakfast included hostess donuts, store bought mini muffins, bagels and croissants and a few other items. The pitcher of milk at our table was so far gone that it had a thick ,chunky consistency. Felt like inn keeping was an afterthought. Worst place I have ever stayed.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else

“Absolutely wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

My two traveling buddies and I were on a ghost tour of New England and decided to stay at the Whistler's Inn due to its history and location. It couldn't have been a more enjoyable time. We stayed in the Santa Fe room which was spacious and comfortable. Sitting for hours in the library reading (the sherry was a nice touch) and the music room was so relaxing. The host, Lisa, is simply enchanting with so many fascinating experiences around the world. Her company alone is worth the visit. The owner, Richard is a author of note and a fascinating guy to talk to over breakfast (which was so much better than previous reviews prepared me for).

As for haunted, I expected to only go to a place that OTHERS claimed was haunted, but ending up having a bit of an experience myself. Don't worry if this is not what you are looking for, however. In my experience, you really only see things if you are looking for them (other families were there, and none of their kids look petrified).

All in all, I can't imagine having picked a better place.
