The staff was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean. The grounds are gorgeous, plenty to look at and walk around as you wait for the show.

28th June 2026 Lenox, MA…read more Be prepared to be awed as you enter the 50 acre estate and sanctuary of the famous author Edith Wharton, named The Mount, it is a rather remarkable example of the magnificent oasis she created in 1902, during the height of the Gilded Age. The Mount located in Lenox, MA, served as her primary sanctuary when she was in her 40s, and at the peak of her fame as a Pulitzer prize winning Author, which was extremely rare for a woman at the time. Wharton penned literary classics such as, 'The House of Mirth' here. Today, the property operates as a vibrant cultural center featuring guided house tours, art exhibitions, and sprawling formal gardens which are oft rented for large weddings. We were thrilled to get a glimpse of the vast well-maintained garden grounds and mansion. It is definitely worth a visit whilst in the Berkshires. Entry is $20, which includes a one hour guided tour, but do stay to linger and explore the magnificent grounds of this stunning estate that was refurbished to its glory after millions of dollars were donated in the 1990s, and are continued in the present. Please enjoy my photos, and thank you for reading.

After the tour we were free to wander at our leisure. The gardens are well manicured. A video in the house shows the history of the property and photos of restoration inside and out. Gives a real appreciation of the restoration work done here. Amazing. The woodland path is lovely, shaded and serene. There were childrens programs going on along the path during our wander. There is also a sculpture event happening with pieces scattered along the paths. Park in the dirt lot by the stables where you can purchase tickets and watch an orientation video. It's about a five minute walk to the house from here. A book walk begins here too-a series of signs, each one page of a childrens book. If you need handicap parking, buy tickets online, drive past the stable and park near the house. Very informative tour. An abunfance of information throughout the house. Cafe with prepared food on the terrace overlooking the grounds. Plan to spend two to three hours.

I love this place. We have no options for good French food in Albany, so when I my husband took me…read moreovernight to Lenox, we decided to eat here. I was especially excited as last Fall I ate here with a girlfriend and had the Moules Frites-delicious! Tonight, we both had the French Onion soup which was really delicious. My husband had Steak Frites, which he loved... When I ordered the Moules, our waitress mentioned that someone had just sent them back, saying they were "off." I told her that we saw 3 people eating them in the afternoon (we stopped by midday for a drink at the bar) and that I was sure it was fine if the resistant had not heard from them by sometime that the Mussels were bad, and ordered them anyway. This was a bad idea, as now I could not stop thinking about how I might get sick on "off" mussels, so even though they tasted fine, it totally put me off. So I barely ate them- what waste of money. I guess I would say- don't warn guests unless you really know that food is bad- because it really affected my experience there. Otherwise, or waitress was wonderful.

We attended two shows this summer--loved them both. The first was not Shakespeare (Dear Jack, Dear…read moreLouise), but it was EXCELLENT: it would have been in the Roman theater, but moved under the tent due to the threat of rain. The second was Henry VI Part 2 indoors in the Tina Packer Playhouse where we sat in the balcony on the side, which was a great location. The quality of the acting and the production of both shows was great. (If you are moved under the tent due to weather as we were for the first show, you lose your assigned seat. If we'd understood that, we would have headed to the tent earlier rather than futz around having a glass of wine up the hill...we ended up in the 5th row--which was fine--but could have been much closer had we gone right to the tent when we arrived.)

We went with some children to R and J and we're disgusted with the over sexualizing of the play. We went to Hamlet the other night and were likewise disgusted with the homosexualizing of the characters. You have all the right to do that but the potential ticket buyers should be notified of the immature production in advance. Apparently that type of genre is your forte. You probably do not understand my perspective, but most people do.
