Our room was super charming -- the electric fireplace got a lot of use -- and the bed was extremely comfortable (I'm seven months pregnant and slept better in the bed here than I've been sleeping at home!) I also loved the thoughtful little touches, like the coffee and tea station in the dining room that included homemade cookies and a little bowl of chocolates for guests to dip into in the afternoons/evenings. Breakfast was excellent and came in courses, which was a fun novelty. Also, the elderly black lab in residence is a sweetheart (very unobtrusive and quiet, as befits a hospitality professional, but also a very polite receiver of enthusiastic head-petting for those so inclined). I've been actively recommending the Wainwright Inn to my friends and family, and it completely deserves the five stars on Yelp. (My only tiny criticism: I wish they offered actual shampoo and conditioner, instead of the combination two-in-one stuff, which left my hair pretty fried and hard to untangle. If you have much hair you should definitely bring your own conditioner to avoid my fate!)

I also like the fact that they have chickens laying the fresh eggs we ate each morning. That was a real treat. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are lots of resources at the Inn to guide you with things to do. I truly loved our stay, and will definitely stay again.

Because let's be honest, looking poor never quite goes out of style. Seriously, regarding the inn, it's proof that peace can be found on a late September evening.

All I can say is that I have never never never encountered as nice of a place - and as nice of hosts, than at Granville House. We were lucky enough to score a room here during the 2021 holiday season and we took it without high expectations - but holy snowflake Batman! This place is amazing! And I had the pleasure of meeting both owners and connecting as nice easy going human beings. What a find! Our first night was especially special because we got a size-able snowfall! So I spent quite a bit of time downstairs by the fireplaces, playing billiards, listening to vinyl records, and under the front porch space heaters. Magical is a word I might use but it's inadequate. I think I prefer transcendental. I tend to give emphatic reviews seldom - only when a place really impresses me (or disappoints me).

Our private bathroom had excellent water pressure, something you don't always find in older homes. The towels were fluffy, the sheets freshly ironed.

Anita was great to coordinate with about check-in time, showed us around the home and was helpful with activity and dinner recommendations. Her home is maintained beautifully and I was amazed with how neat and clean everything was. Before arriving, my biggest concern was that the rooms and bathroom were not going to be up to my cleanliness standards because let's face it, it is someone's home and it is an older home. This was definitely not the case; everything was spotless in our room and bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was nice, we were able to chat with the other guests and Anita's food was delicious. She is very accommodating to any dietary restrictions and her presentation is lovely. Breakfast is served on China and silver that was passed down through her family. If you interested in the history of the Inn, just ask her- she's happy to share. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you're planning a trip to the Berkshires. It felt quiet, cozy, romantic and relaxing- a welcome weekend away from New York!

A Community Venue Changed…read more The Egremont Barn, now operating as Buttonball Barn, was once a cornerstone of local music and community gathering. Because of our long-standing connection to the space, my husband and I chose it for our wedding celebration, placing our deposit with the previous owners, who were professional and supportive throughout the process. After the property changed ownership, we still proceeded with our event in October. This celebration held particular significance, as my father was seriously ill at the time, and we were grateful he was able to attend. Unfortunately, our experience with the new ownership raised serious concerns about professionalism, transparency, and respect for both clients and staff. On the day of the event, the owner attempted to impose additional charges not outlined in our contract. This included a demand for a $500 fee for using a room to get ready--a space she had explicitly told me I could use earlier in the day, noting it was acceptable despite the building being under construction. While I was getting ready, she entered the room while my mother and a family friend were assisting me and removed a rug from beneath them, stating that I "wasn't supposed to use the room all day." I chose not to address this at the time in order to preserve the tone of the day. Throughout the event, the owner was also openly drinking at the open bar, which had been paid for by my father. As the night concluded, she insisted that I personally break down the entire venue either immediately or first thing the following morning--despite knowing I had family visiting--or I would be charged for a cleaning crew. This expectation had not been communicated beforehand and was not included in the contract. When I suggested discussing it the next day, she continued to press the issue and confronted my husband, who attempted to redirect the conversation. To avoid further escalation, my friends and I cleaned the venue that night--while I was still in my wedding dress. She later stated that she would retain space heaters I had purchased in exchange for waiving the disputed room fee. When I noted that none of these charges or arrangements were contractually agreed upon, she responded, "I'm expensive, and I'm not in the contract either, honey," in reference to her being casted on The Real Housewives of New York City. Additionally, her conduct toward long-standing staff members--many of whom had supported the venue for years--was concerning and contributed to an atmosphere that felt transactional rather than community-centered. Some of those staff members have since left the venue. What was most troubling was the timing and context. The attempts to extract additional money occurred at the end of a wedding celebration involving a seriously ill parent, placing unnecessary stress on a family during an already significant moment. The Egremont Barn once represented collaboration, music, and mutual respect. Under its current ownership, that spirit appears to have shifted toward aesthetics and revenue at the expense of community and care. I encourage readers to proceed with caution, ask detailed questions, and ensure all expectations are clearly documented in writing before booking events there.

This place is now called the Buttonball Inn. When we booked it was Egremont. We only found out by…read morecalling to confirm our reservation a few days out. That should've been the first red flag. Second, don't believe the photos. Property is not upgraded and in much poorer condition than advertised (especially the rooms). Very old bathroom fixtures, window AC unit kept turning off and on, stains on lamp shade, light scones in bathroom do not work, cracks/stains in wallpaper (see pics). Our room door would not lock with the key they provided. (It would not even lock with the skeleton key the staff member tried). We reported this and were told it would be fixed the same day. When we returned it was not fixed. Ensuring that the room doors can all be locked is a basic safety standard. This was not upheld. Not only that, their staffing levels is also below industry standards. No one is reachable, not by phone, not by presence on the property, not by email. We came in around 9 on our last night for example. The main door to the inn was opened, didn't even have to use the key to enter (is this even safe?). Not one staff person was on site for us to follow up re: door. We were told we would receive a text about the door that morning. We did not. Tried calling and emailing and got no response. We found this very unprofessional and inhospitable. Do not waste your time or money to stay here.

My friend and I rented one room with two Queen beds for a girls' weekend away. We rented through hotels.com and mistakenly put "1 adult" under the reservation. When checking in, we let him know it was actually two of us. He grumbled about that and then asked us repeatedly if we had pets with us and we assured him we do not. He still reminded us about the fine for pets. Our friends met us so we would take one car and helped us unload our car/change into ski clothes. About 3seconds into opening the room to drop our things, we immediately got a call. It was the man working at reception who called and demanded to know if we were going to be having three people stay. It was beyond creepy to know he was watching us on the cameras as our room was off to the side. We ended up renting a room elsewhere in the area. We came to check out at 6:30pm, just 4hrs later, the same day because we felt so incredibly uncomfortable there. He felt the need to tell us we have already checked in and "stayed here." We said ok...we're not asking for a refund. He continued to remind us. After reading other reviews about interactions with the reception staff, I'm not surprised at all.
