    Fall Visit to Lenox

    October 14, 2012

    The Garden Gables Inn is located in the beautiful Berkshire village of Lenox, Mass. It is the perfect New England rambling white clapboard building with green shutters. Comfortable and pretty room, especially friendly and helpful staff, excellent buffet plus cooked to order breakfast and best of all, homemade world class chocolate chip cookies to tempt guests all day long with an assortment of Harney & Sons teas, coffee and fresh pressed cider. What a treat.

    Simply wonderful

    August 12, 2012

    We have been going to the Garden Gables for years. This year there was a decided change in mood---lighter, brighter, more upbeat. The pool, now heated, is a delight. Best of all was the dinner we had before going to the theater. We had been to a la-dee-dah fancy place the night before, and it couldn't begin to compare to the meal we had at the Inn. Do not miss the Crab Timbale. The staff was aware we were going to the theater and the service was just right--- not too fast, not too slow. We have already made our reservation for next year.

    What's in a Name? Charming gabled inns surrounded by lovely lawn and gardens

    July 29, 2012

    Quaint yet catering to modern needs--wi-fi, flat screened TV's. Perfect location to all cultural offerings. The food was superb. In addition to a lovely, attentive staff, the proprietor is to be commended by his interest in each guest. His nearby winery with wine tastings and apple orchid with bautiful view made the stay memorable.
