Maureen, the owner, was very helpful and communicative leading up to our trip, and once we arrived, the accommodations were wonderful. The rooms are all different and have their own quaint feel about them. The breakfast each morning was delicious, and on late nights, the innkeeper set our group up with wine so we could wind down. The grounds are also pretty, and it was nice to enjoy some time outside. The inn does not have an elevator (obviously, it's a restored old home!), but as long as you do not have mobility issues, this is a fantastic place to stay during your visit to the Berkshires (the location can't be beat if you're going to Tanglewood and the like!).

We arrived for a Tanglewood concert, happy that Garden Gables is so close to the concert grounds and within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants in Lenox. Some in our party stayed in lovely rooms in the cottages apart from the main house; others were in a very comfy and spacious three-room suite (#12 if you want to know). There are two bedrooms in the suite, one with a queen bed, the other with twins. Both have fine mattresses and lots of quiet AC, and of course everything was spotlessly clean. The suite even has its own private deck with views of the pool - intriguing, no? The only downside: the suite is on the second floor accessed only by a staircase. The grounds are beautiful and include table and chair groupings under shady trees. There are lots of chairs by the pool, and the dining areas include inside and outdoor seating. The breakfast, which comes with the rooms, proved delicious, freshly prepared with a good selection of main dishes (omelets, pancakes, eggs Benedict, etc.) and sides. Everyone is friendly and eager to help, and we thoroughly enjoyed our unhurried time. There are lots of pros here, so what about the cons? Well, we mentioned the stairs. And yes, Tanglewood weekends can get a bit pricey, but that's the same everywhere around Lenox in the summer. Garden Gables is definitely worth it, in our view.

Seriously, if you want a fabulous night away from the town (I'm from the Boston area) take the time to come out and enjoy.

Minutes away from the Lee Premium Outlets, historic downtown Lenox, and enough little shops and restaurants to keep you busy and well fed. (Ask about "Doug's Circle Tour" if you're interested in exploring the area and visiting some really unique places) Your Hosts? Doug and Jim are the owners of this magical B&B and will go out of their way to accommodate and assist you in having a truly memorable experience. It is obvious that they love what they do and it shines through in their meticulous attention to every detail. Be sure to get down to the dining room each morning where they host an incredible breakfast. Jim is a topnotch baker and Doug's skills as a host are impeccable. My wife and I are Executive Chefs who own a catering company and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire dining experience. Plus it was nice to small talk with the other dining room guests who had nothing but great things to say about their experiences as well. The Property? Beautiful, historic, and brimming with colonial allure. Set on a sprawling 36 acres of land, you will find plenty of outdoor activities such as hiking, snow-shoeing, and crosscountry skiing to keep you busy during your winter stay, and even more adventures to embark on during the warmer months with guided kayak and canoe tours! It is simply a slice of heaven nestled snug in the Berkshires. The Inn? Take a step back in time and prepare to be awed by the beauty and history of the magnificent Devonfield Inn. Doug and Jim have succeeded in pairing the charm of 19th century ambience with the modern creature comforts of home. If you enjoy a bit of history, take the tour of the Inn and you may be surprised what you learn. Each room is unique and well appointed. We stayed in the Penthouse Suite on the third floor and had total privacy. Our room was quite large and offered a living room, bathroom with double vanity and a gorgeous two person whirlpool tub, and a huge bedroom with a gas fireplace, massive closets, and a sitting area with desk should you feel inspired to pen your latest memoir. Our only complaint about the room was that we didn't have more time to spend in it! If you took the time to read this lengthy review, I appreciate it. I wouldn't spend the time to write this if I wasn't truly impressed. (trust me, I could keep going...) Should you decide to stay at the Devonfield, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Doug and Jim for such an amazing time. We will definitely be back to visit! I may even tickle the ivories on that beautiful piano in the living room next time! Cheers!

Doug and Jim go above and beyond with their hospitality always with a smile and friendly gesture. Jim's breakfast desserts are phenomenal and the Happy Hour with live music is superb with Doug and Jim both lending their voices to entertain guests in collaboration with a pianist that truly brings back the concept of Parlor music into the 21st century. The musical ambiance at breakfast is also reminiscent of my own playlists, with a mix of classical, new age, and soft instrumental listening. The historic inn retains much of its charm with original details throughout - truly a step into New England country charm. My partner, now fiancée, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it will forever be memorable as our engagement destination. We are looking forward to returning for many years to come!

However, black trails and some blue trails are not groomed. I was cross-country skiing for 4 hours there and half of the trails I skied are not groomed. If you want to ski a lot, it is inevitable to ski not groomed trails as well. Considering paying $16 for 4 hours and half of them are not groomed, it is a rip-off. I have cross-country skied for $12 in Western Mass. Hope they decrease the price a little, then it will be a good deal.

Notchview is an excellent cross country skiing resort that is right off the main highway, very easy…read moreto get to, and has excellent trails. A great place for beginners and advanced skiers alike. Parking: As the turnoff is right off the main highway, traffic getting in and out of the parking area can be a little bit frustrating to navigate. There is parking alongside the road on both sides. As you approach Notchview from the road, take a look at the parking situation up near the lodge, sometimes there are several empty spaces, but most people don't see them, and end up parking clear at the bottom of the slight hill. Lodge: Notchview's lodge does not accurately match the quality of the skiing area. It's tight quarters, with chairs and tables crammed in every possible spot, leaving little room for comfort. Upstairs however, there are a couple of couches and an armchair, which is rarely ever taken. For a bit of privacy and peace and quiet, I'd recommend sitting upstairs. Notchview also does not have a kitchen. Instead, they rely on premade sandwiches, soups from a local restaurant, and other miscellaneous bakery items, such as bagels, muffins, and the odd vegetable samosa. The chili here is absolutely abhorrent, with far too much cumin. However, I did find that I really enjoyed the vegetable samosas, despite them being cold and not able to be warmed up. Cocoa, cider, etc. are all made from a packet, which you make yourself. There's little to no service in the food department. I'd advise planning ahead, and either packing your lunch, or making a trip to a local restaurant for a bite to eat. Skiing: Notchview excels in the trail department. There's lots of mileage, from beginner to advanced: gently sloping hills, wide open meadows, naturally increasing to steeper climbs and downhills. Some of the trails are a bit narrow. The tracks are well laid, and in most cases on both side of the trail. Notchview is not the easiest place for a beginner to start, as even some of the more basic trails still require technical skills that a first time cross country skier may not have. Before hitting the trails, I would have beginners practice in some of the more wide-open meadow spaces, especially how to kick up a hill and safely traverse a downhill. I'd strongly suggest skipping the rudimentary bunny hop trail. It is for beginners; however, if you are over the age of 10, your skis will be too long to navigate the sharp up and downs. You'll fall after getting stalled between two hills, and twist your knee like I did. It is much easier for those with very short skis to navigate this area. On the open-faced hills and meadows, the wind can get a bit harsh, so it's advisable to avoid these areas on particularly windy days. Once in the forest however, the wind dies down quite significantly. Another pro and con for Notchview is that they host a number of cross country skiing races. Notchview was the first place I ever tried to cross country ski, and it was very intimidating to be surrounded by advanced skiers who were intensely focused on their race (they can be a bit coarse). I would recommend avoiding race days if at all possible, as the lodge becomes very congested and some trails are limited due to their use by those racing. Not to mention the fact that the crowds can cause a lot of frustration and anxiety for those who are just learning. Notchview is a cross country skiing staple. Its simple access, no-nonsense directions make it an easy choice when the weather may be poor. However, you will end up sacrificing a chance at good food at a comfortable lodge, and instead be subjected to lots of people, both on the trails and off.
