    Welcome to The "NEW" Kemble Inn! In June 2010, this landmark property within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Lenox, was purchased by new owners who will modernize and improve this incredible property. Originally built in 1881, the Inn features thirteen guests suites of varying sizes and with unique features, and mountain views. All suites have private baths, cable TV, Central A/C, telephones and FREE wireless internet. Nine rooms have working marble fireplaces or Jacuzzis. You will enjoy our full hot breakfast on your next stay - because let's face it - if you're staying in a 140 year old mansion from the Gilded age - a "continental breakfast" just won't do!

    A superlative experience

    August 30, 2010

    Our stay at the Kemble Inn was a wonderful experience. The Innkeeper provides a terrific full breakfast and tasty snacks at various intervals during the day. The bed and bath linens are all cotton, a refreshing change from the usual insitutional sheets and towels. The grounds are beautiful, and the deck is a pleasant place on which to have breakfast. The furniture is a funky mix of traditional and contemporary. Scott and his staff are attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The Inn is within walking distance of downtown Lenox, and right down the street from Shakespeare and Company. The Kemble Inn is well worth a visit! (Guest from West Hartford)

    A perfect getaway

    January 21, 2009

    We are fortunate to have found such a wonderful place to stay in the heart of Lenox, MA. Living in NY, my husband and I are always searching for weekend getaways to relax and detox from the hussle and bussle of NYC. Lenox is a wonderful quite place to go off-season and this is the third time that we have made the Kemble Inn our destination and we will certainly return next year! The Inn is a delightful Bed and Breakfast with magestic rooms. The owner Bosa is charming, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home serving up a hearty morning breakfast and helping guide us to interesting venues. Every time we arrive at the Kemble Inn I am impressed by the views from panoramic living room and dinning room windows. The huge fireplaces add to the cozy feeling. We have stayed twice in the Charles Dicken’s room where the fireplace, Jacuzzi bath and piano make the room feel like an apartment. Though the décor of the inn makes you feel in another époque, the wireless service keeps you well connected to the modern world if you so desire. I would whole-heartedly recommend this inn to anyone looking to spend time in a relaxing atmosphere.

    This bed and breakfast was recommended to us by friends who loved it. We spent a long weekend at the Inn and had a great time. The room was beautiful and clean. The innkeeper, Bosa, was very charming and accommodating giving us plenty of tips on what to do. The view of the mountains from the dining room is spectacular. Will go back!

    Simply divine

    The owner of Kemble Inn is charming, accommodating, and does everything possible to make your stay at the inn delightful. We have been going to Lenox for many years, stayed in other B&B's, and are so glad we found the Kemble Inn. Our room was beautiful. There is wonderful back porch, with rocking chairs and a view of the mountains. Can not wait to go back next year!
