The 1912 summer cottage of Harley Proctor (as in Proctor and Gamble) has experienced some ups and downs during its tenure as a country inn. But under the skillful direction of innkeepers Fabrizio and Rosemary Chiariello, it looks better than ever. Rooms come in a variety of configurations and styles, most with working fireplaces, detailed moldings, and plush carpeting. Some guest rooms and bathrooms have been recently upgraded; ask if one of these are available when you make your reservation. The on-site restaurant, La Terrazza, offers late night dining in summertime. Pro: great location in the heart of Lenox; concierge service can arrange activities for you, including in-room massage. Cons: public areas have a faded glory feel, lots of stairs.
