  • Inn Details

    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.

    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.

    A wonderful getaway

    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.

    My fiance enjoyed staying at the inn. The beds were comfortable, breakfast was good and the hosts were extremely friendly. We would recommend this inn to our family and friends.
