“Cozy and perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

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 I feel like I discovered a new world. The Birchwood Inn is the true meaning of cozy and beautiful. My room was so perfectly decorated that I thought at one point that it couldn't get better than that, then I peaked into several other rooms and all of them were equally as gorgeous but with a different story.

The service was flawless and the food was decadent (wouldn't expect less from the future Martha Stewart).

I hope you have a fantastic week and look forward to our next visit.

I am sure we enjoyed meeting you as much if not more than you enjoyed your weekend. Having such a positive impression of b&bs as a result of your stay that you'll agree that bed and breakfasts are the better way to stay!

“Magical and tranquil stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

person found this review helpful

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 memorable. Absolutely and highly recommended.

“Superlative New England B&B”

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.

“Great bed and breakfast experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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 beautiful antiques and furnishings. We had a very comfortable nights sleep and found the location very convenient. We especially enjoyed the fine dining that is close by and the park that is just across the street for hiking and exploring.

After having spent the first part of our vacation at a large inn in Stockbridge, we realized the true benefit of staying at a bed and breakfast over a larger hotel. In this case, the beds were so much more comfortable, the personalized attention to detail appreciated and the delicious breakfasts and tea that were included in our room rates really made a happy ending to our Berkshire getaway!

We would highly recommend the Birchwood Inn.

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!

“A Slice of Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

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) is a real renaissance man, from making dinner reservations to helping you dig your car out of the snow. Rebecca is Ellen's "wing man" and makes sure you are comfortable and relaxed. Piper & Quinn are the permanent canine residents - who are the sweetest creatures you will ever encounter. The Inn is conveniently located to a host of attractions, places and activities, i.e.Tanglewood, musuems, shops, restaurants, parks and wild life preserves. Whether you want to sit back in a cozy chair in front of the fireplace or do some hiking or skiing - this is the place to do it all. It doesn't get any better than this!

Room Tip: All the rooms are gorgeous - you won't be disappointed. We stayed in The Dana room located in th...
