We loved the mid-century modern architecture, furniture, and art. The magnificent views of Mt. Greylock, and the beautiful gardens, fields, and a pond were magical.

We've already made a reservation for a longer stay the next time we're in the Berkshires.

We stayed in the king bed master bedroom which was quite spacious and well kept. The house is nestled in an 18 acre forest which is breathtaking. For our breakfast, Donna made an amazing french toast with home made plum jam and raisins, the maple syrup came from one of the trees on the property!! I also had a delicious made to order cheese omlette. This place is everything you would want in a B&B, hospitality and service and beauty are all packaged in at Farmwood Meadows.

The views are also great. And the breakfasts.....let me tell you about the breakfasts. Handmade by the hosts, multiple courses, all fresh local ingredients. Homemade bread and pastries, omletes with local Vermont cheese, potatoes, fresh fruits, juice, coffee....we were stuffed every morning. The only thing better than the breakfasts were the hosts themselves. Just the nicest couple you'd ever want to meet. They made themselves available for anything we needed. Donna gave us dinner recommendations and would include printed directions to the restaurants. She is so knowledgeable about all there is to do in the area. Clifford was so kind and accommodating as well. We arrived on motorcycle and he insisted on us keeping it in his garage. He also offered us his rain gear upon our departure because it was drizzling. He even followed up with us after to make sure we had arrived home safely. So in short. Beautiful accommodations. Great views. Amazing breakfast. Kind and helpful hosts. You really couldn't ask for more. I'll be staying here again for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay with Lesa at Blackinton Manor this weekend. We were in the…read morearea to move our youngest son back to school, and our oldest son and my parents came along. Lesa welcomed us when we arrived after dinner and made us feel at home with homemade baked goods and wine. Our rooms were lovely, and although the manor is two hundred years old, it has all the amenities one would expect in modern accommodations. The beds are extremely comfortable as well. Breakfast was a treat, a feast of local yogurt, homemade scones, tea cake, frittata, fruit, and ham. Lesa is the perfect host--warm, welcoming, accommodating, talented in the kitchen, and genuinely concerned with providing her guests with a wonderful getaway. Staying in her lovely home feels like visiting a friend. We will return whenever we are in the area. The Blackinton is a gem!!

Full disclosure: I know the innkeeper, so while I may be biased, I still think my opinion counts…read morefor something. I've stayed in several B&Bs all over the world, good and bad. If I believed any place I was reviewing was terrible I would never say it was awesome, so just because I know the innkeeper doesn't mean I'm sugarcoating my experience. I wanted to share that I think the Blackinton Manor is a lovely place to stay in the Berkshires. The hostess really cares about her guests' full experience. She strives to use locally sourced products whenever she can. She wants everyone to feel like they are comfortable and at home in her home, and I definitely felt comfortable here. And she makes yummy and hearty breakfasts. If you're lucky enough to be served the sticky buns, you're in for a real treat. Stay here. You won't regret it. Things to note: She does have a dog, who while friendly and gentle, is still a dog and will be at the Manor while you're there. So if you're not a dog person, this might not be the place for you. Also, if you have food allergies or restrictions, be sure to disclose them. She'll ask when you arrive but it's nice to let her know in advance so she can prepare for your stay and make your meal as yummy and accommodating as possible.

We really hit pay dirt when it came to the inns of Vermont this past vacation. Each inn we had…read morechosen throughout Vermont was VERY tastefully appointed, and while our rooms were all quite differently decorated, they were each beautiful, not to mention, CLEAN, no matter where we stayed!! However, here at Four Chimneys Inn, we loved it so much, we asked if we could stay another night, and they said YES ! Our first night was spent in a red and yellow decorated room, which was very spacious and comfortable. The bed and pillows were super comfy ! It was room #11 and on the first floor. Our second night was spent next door in #10, and those colors were creams, blues and muted gray. For some reason, my camera picked up mostly the gray and left very little color to view, which is weird, because there was a lot of blue, which I actually preferred to the red and yellow room. The room was perhaps a bit smaller, but it was still VERY spacious and more than enough room for the 2 of us. Again, the bed and pillows were super comfy. I think I liked this second room more, if nothing else, than because of the colors. Blues, grays and creams just spoke to me more than reds and yellows. I felt more at home, I guess. Both rooms had fireplaces, but in disgusting 90+ degree heat/humidity, no thank you. On the first night of our stay, the inn's restaurant was closed, but when we unexpectedly extended our stay by one night, that also opened the possibility of dining in-house, which thrilled our tired bodies like you wouldn't believe. We didn't feel like doing anymore driving, so we stayed put and ended up having an elegant dinner at Four Chimneys Inn. Breakfast the next morning was included with the price of each night's stay, but we only availed ourselves to breakfast after our second night's stay. (See separate review for the restaurant.) The inn staff was incredibly kind and friendly, not to mention, helpful. If ever we get to return to Bennington, Vermont, there is NO DOUBT that we'd find our way back to staying at the Four Chimneys Inn. Everything about this place is inviting, friendly, comfortable, quaint and charming.

Traveling in the Berkshires and want that old school "revolutionary war" Inn experience? River Bend…read moreFarm is the place for you! It's an old house. There are old objects in your room (aka "antiques"). It kinda smells.... you guessed it, old. We stayed in the Parlor room. Visually it looked great, but our bed was rock hard and our pillows squishy soft. Not a good combination. They had extra pillows, but they smelled of moth-balls, so we declined using them. The owners/hosts are amazing! They gave us a country breakfast of homemade granola, fruit, yogurt, homemade muffins and breads, and coffee/tea. They also hung out and told us about local history and their extensive collection of antiques. All in all, River Bend was the epitome of the B&B experience; an interesting house and interesting hosts. Sure their beds could have been more comfortable, but then it wouldn't have been in keeping with the revolutionary war theme.

No ropes across the furniture....you can enjoy life in Colonial times unfettered as did the 10 children who once lived here! Our bathroom was the former butter churn room, evidenced by the presence of butter churns. Our bed was comfortable and modern with top quality linens/bedding, as we dreamt of a bygone era in a room restored to its original glory. There's a children's oriented book on the night table in the parlor room (we slept here) where George Washington and dignitaries stayed in this tavern owned by war hero and landowner, Col. Benjamin Simonds in 1770, a founder of Williamstown. I read the history of the area and in the morning, owners Dave and Judy Loomis generously hosted us with a fantastic homemade breakfast including gems such as quince jam from quince grown on their farm, served with period silverware in the 1770 kitchen with the huge original fireplace and rare baking oven. They lovingly restored this home and made exciting discoveries about Colonial times during the process. Didn't miss a TV...we felt transported back in time and it was magical! This was the best part of our visit to Williamstown!
