General Information

Historic Georgian farmhouse full of charm, situated on four country acres and surrounded by 18th century stone walls and towering maples. Inhabited by the same family for over two centuries, most of the original colonial features in this post and beam farmhouse still remain. Enjoy a delicious homemade breakfast, complete with JoAnn's specialty baked goods on our covered porch or in our sun filled parlor, and indulge in a home-baked delicacy in the afternoon. Relax in our comfortable antique-filled great room by our hearth with beehive oven and get comfortable with a good book from our library. Spacious guest rooms, two with working fireplaces, feature antiques, queen and king beds, private baths, air conditioning, cozy chairs, down comforters and pillows, lovely bed-linens and imported chocolates. Stroll the grounds and enjoy our perrenial gardens, sit quietly on the large porch and daydream or bike the country roads. A country setting, yet minutes to historic downtown Lee and all Berkshire attractions.
