Can someone suggest a quaint & cozy B&B in the Berkshires? My husband and I are planning to go in October. We're thinking about the Great Barrington, Lenox or Stockbridge areas -- although never having been there, we are not exactly sure.
B&B in Berkshires?

Most B&B's in the Berkshires, "quaint and cozy" or bland and tacky, are filled to capacity in October, the height of the foliage season. I would think that the current situation,with people choosing destinations closer to home, would tighten availability even more. My advice would be to book the first place you can find with a room available.

Ken is right accommodation will be tight in foliage season, But due to recent (Tragic) events I have read that many New England Chambers of commerce have reported a rise in Inn cancellations - So you might have a broader choice after all.
Try the following sites as you can access lots of B & B/Inn websites easily from these sites.

Hope this helps.
We like the Westhervane Inn in South Egremont - quiet, cozy, friendly hosts. Near Great Barrington - super antiquing, etc etc. I was pleased to get some fairly last minute accomodations there in the near future - my guess is that the Inns in the area, usually booked months in advance for this period, are being hit by cancellations. The Weathervane has a website with room availabilty posts which actually seem to be updated on a regular basis (not always the case with Inns).
I live near the Berkshires and heard on tv this morning that tourism is WAY down. They said the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge has had 200 cancellations this week. I think you should be able to find what you're looking for.
Our family likes the Berkshires.
We stayed at the Rookwood Inn in Lenox 7 years ago and are returning this month for a ski weekend - will let you know how it goes.
Its a nice small Inn that welcomes kids and is more intimate than the Red Lion.
Seems to be filling up this winter.
Can anyone recommend a ski resort for a family with young kids near Lenox.
I see that Bousquet and Butternut are close by.
Anyone have a perspective?
We've stayed a couple of times - including this past fall - at the Weathervane Inn in South Egremont which is near Great Barrington. Very clean, well run, quiet - nice friendly hosts - not particularly luxurious, but well-appointed rooms in a peacful, yet convenient, location.
