Our room (the rainbow room) was charming; the inn was elegant. Kolleen and Brian were perfect hosts, helpful and caring without hovering. We sipped wine provided by them and looked over local menus. With some guidance from Kolleen we chose a wonderful French restaurant dinner. We look forward to future visits there.

We were charmed. The Inn has lots of character and is beautifully furnished. Though our room was small, it was very comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. Even came with a night light in the bathroom. Very convenient to 'downtown' Stockbridge and the Norman Rockwell Museum. But the true joys of the inn are the owners and hosts Kolleen and Brian. They are both very upbeat and knowledgeable about the areas local attractions, restaurants and hiking. And do they know how serve a breakfast!

This was our 2nd visit to the Federal House Inn, We stayed in the Billards Room. The room is large, comfortable and clean but being on the first floor is a mixed blessing. Overlooking the front entrance and porch means easy access (no steps) but keeping your shutters drawn for privacy and not able to enjoy the fresh Berkshires air can be drawback. The Rockwell Room on the second floor was a better choice The breakfast is very tasty, usually 3 mini-courses of fruit, homemade muffins and eggs. The front parlour is stocked with books about the Berkshires. Wine and cheese in the late afternoon is a chance to trade ideas and stories with fellow guests before heading out for evening activities. While technically in South Lee, it is within easy access to a slew of restaurants, The Federal House Inn is also a short drive to Main Street in Stockbridge. The house is very bright and airy. A lovely way to spend time in the Berkshires.
