    If you are planning a trip to New England, why not stay at one of its most beautiful and historic Inns? This brick stagecoach Inn, built more than two hundred years ago, still welcomes guests just as General Joseph Whitton did as a veteran of the Revolutionary War. The Tavern Room, shown with its great fireplace invites guests to sit and chat just as the Whitton guests did two hundred years ago. Sit in its copious wing chairs by a crackling fire or write a letter to a friend at the two hundred year old secretary desk. Come spend sometime in this special place where history really does still live.

    Welcoming, Romantic Historic Inn

    July 31, 2012

    I recently spent a weekend at the Historic Merrell Inn. I travel a lot, all over the world. I recommend this Inn. The Innkeepers couldn't be more welcoming or kind. The rooms are very cute and decorated true to the period of the inn. The Inn was quiet at night and the bed was very comfortable. The location is very convenient and easy to find. The complimentary breakfast menu was large with a choice of homemade eggs, french toast, blueberry pancakes, omelets, cereal, toast, muffins, etc. And there is free WiFi that works!

    Most agreeable and authentic B&B in the Green Mountains.

    July 23, 2011

    We stayed at different B&Bs suring our visit at the Berkshire and Green Mountain area. The Historic Merell Inn was absolutely the best. We appreciated also the kindness of the innkeeper and the excellent breakfast.

    Complete satisfaction and relaxation

    March 09, 2011

    Sunshine, rain, to snow, we had it all in just two days, but our cozy nights by the fire in our beautifully appointed room chased it all away. We were pampered and every need was anticipated and met. Our endless questions about the area were answered cheerfully with wonderful stories and advice on where to shop and dine and what to see. We will be back again and again.
