We were greeted warmly upon arrival with hot beverages and brownies. There were bakery items available all during our stay, and the property features a quaint little bar with many offerings. The breakfast was served in a bright and very well-appointed room with a fireplace and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was very nicely presented and delicious. This is a wonderful bed and breakfast at a very affordable price. Will definitely return.

You’re missing out if you don’t stay here!
What a pleasure it was to stay at the Cornell Inn! Unfortunately we were only there for one night, but one can definitely get a sense of how a property is even in a shorter timeframe. Now, the real gem at this property is the staff! From our check-in experience with Lorie to our F&B server, Lindsey whi went waaaaay out of her way to help us with an issue we had, and to Paige, front desk assistant manager who tied everything together and made our experience even that much better. I wish I would have gotten our servers name too, she was absolutely delightful! The property is of course important, and very well maintained and made to feel like home. But as I said, all the staff we had the pleasure to interact with took it to the next level. They were all professional, kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and I could keep going on but the idea is there, they make Cornell Inn what it is. Well done! We will be back, and will recommend this to anyone who is visiting nearby! Thank you all so very much! Stacey & Mark

The staff are charming and attentive. Although our room was small, the bed was super luxurious, the room was quiet and the bathroom was well-appointed. There's a lot of common space to lounge around and the Kennedy Park is just a short walk up the road. We were there in a shoulder season (November) but the outside looks like it would be really charming maybe from May through Spetember - pond and lots of places to sit and enjoy.

Best hotel I've ever stayed at that was a bargain too! What a gem! Highlights are the welcome we received with a drink offered, beautiful room with a complimentary bottle of wine and comfy bed, and a very nice served breakfast. The staff was exceptional! The only minus was our room was a little small, but they have larger ones offered. We only stayed one night so that was fine. We went out of our way from Ohio to New Hampshire to go through the Berkshires. We may have to go out of our way to stay at the Cornell again!

Perfect couples retreat
We interacted with several employees and each and every one of them had a smile on their face and were willing to go above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Beautiful property, very clean, outstanding meals, and the hot cider with rum when we arrived was excellent! Great location less than half a mile from excellent restaurants and shopping. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks to the Cornell team!

Great place, wish we stayed more than one night. Staff is super friendly and made us feel very welcomed, room was immaculate and nicely appointed, fireplace in room, complimentary bottle of wine and excellent breakfast included. They also had a cognac tasting which we unfortunately could not attend. Highly recommend the Cornell Inn.

Really nice visit. All of the staff clearly wanted to create a pleasurable experience. Everything is nicely decorated. The full breakfast was quickly served and very nicely done. The atmosphere was really nice - not too big that you felt like a number in a roadside inn/lodge/motel; not so small that you felt obligated to entertain the establishment.

We loved out two day stay! The hotel was charming but with modern design elements. Too many inns feel drab and dusty, Cornell was bright, clean, well thought-out. Everyone we met who worked there was so friendly and accommodating. Just a 3 minute drive or 20 minute walk to downtown Lenox, we were equally impressed with the outstanding quality of restaurants in the town. We hope we can return one day.
