    The charm of the Victorian era with the luxury of the 21st Century. This Quiet, comfortable bed & breakfast, nestled in a lovely, tree-lined setting, with a short walk to the Clark Art Institute, Williams College, Williamstown - Theatre Festival (WTF), Film Festival or Jazz Festival, shopping and dining. The historic 'House on Main Street', known as the Victorian Tourist & Antique House in a by-gone era, has been enjoyed by such guests as President Woodrow Wilson. Today, there are six spacious, airy bedrooms for you to enjoy. You can take in the early morning birdsong on the front porch, spend your afternoon reading on the screened porch, visit with the Cats in their habitat, then come in to the parlor to meet with other guests, watch your favorite television program or dispel a chill by the fireplace in the evening. We have TWO CATS on the premises (Brighid and Angus) While they are not allowed in the guest rooms they do find themselves in the common areas and are happy to say hello. Those with acute dander allergies may be affected.

    Some wonders are simple

    September 17, 2010

    Timothy and Donna have a great, comfortable b&b which is in a perfect location if you're destination is Williamstown. I was fortunate to get the perfect room for me and my son on very short notice for a visit to see the college. It was spacious and the beds were large (we're both 6') and very comfortable. The place is immaculate and feels like a home. Tim made sure that we all felt like welcome guests and even made a disparate group of guests feel very comfortable with each other. The breakfast menu was even tailored for the mix of guests. Tim seemed to make it look easy. I specifically wanted a B&B for the ability to enjoy a more relaxed stay. I am grateful I chose the House on Main Street. I must give it the highest recommendation in all categories. It is so much like visiting a friend.

    The Inn on Main Street is Wonderful

    July 02, 2010

    My Mom & I stayed at The Inn on Main Street mid-June 2010 and had a fine time. I would certainly recommend this B&B for others. Tim was courteous and helped with my Mom's senior needs. He even sent back a small item that we had forgotten there. The best way to reach the Inn is to follow Tim's directions on his site. Williamstown really is a delight. The breakfast was substantial, fresh, and with excellent pancakes! Thanks, Tim & Donna for all your help and care!

    Overwhelmingly disappointed

    August 13, 2009

    Inn was dark when I arrived. Musty smell, allergies to food not considered, room was dirty & bed very uncomfortable.I travel often & stay in B & B's in North America & this one is the worst I have seen.

    Great place and hosts

    November 15, 2008

    We had the largest bed we've ever slept in! The room was airy, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were yummy-excellent pancakes! Timothy was very friendly and helped us choose somewhere to eat in the evenings. The inn is very conveniently situated for The fab Clark institute and the rest of the town-all very walkable. Thanks for a great stay-definitely worth revisiting! A and G, Essex UK

    fun hosts, good breakfast. The front porch is a great place to relax, read, enjoy a glass of wine or just sit. Try it!
