The Summer White House is located in the heart of Lenox and is conveneint to the town and to Tanglewood. We stayed in the Nancy Reagan room which has a four poster bed and a small enclosed terrace. The room is comfortable and filled with artwork. The Inn was built in the late 19th century and has many attractive antiques.... More

The Summer White House is wonderful. Excellent value for the price. Central location, comfortable room, quiet, easy access to Tanglewood, and excellent hosts. Frank and Mary are the perfect hosts, friendly and interesting but respectful of guests' privacy. They magically appear just as you needed something! The Mamie Eishenhower room had a very comfortable canopy bed, fireplace, and two arm... More

Built around 1875 ..She's old and full of character.. however a bit over-tired in places to be honest.You could write a long list of maintenance tasks required,starting with.a particularly noisy old Air-Con and worn out door lock in our room . We stayed three days for a James Taylor Concert at Tanglewood so paid Top Dollar. Right in down town... More

We booked The Summer White House back in the middle of April 2011 for a three night stay in early August 2011. As expected, I was asked for my credit card for a deposit on the room and I willingly gave it to them. As their website does not have any information about deposits or cancellation policy, I asked and... More

Impeccable, Immaculate, amazing attention to detail beyond any B&B we have stayed throughout the U.S. The best location with a great front porch at the center of Lenox. Walk to Tanglewood.

We booked a room at the Summer White House last minute and really didn't know what to expect but we were very pleasantly surprised. The house is a beautiful old home filled with antiques and charming large rooms. The inn keepers were so friendly and helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. We had the Eleanor Roosevelt room which was very... More

Disappointing, especially from experienced innkeepers (they used to run the Gables Inn also in Lenox, now condos). The Summer White House has just opened, under these owners, but already feels tired and musty. We were not greeted at all upon arrival - the hostess/co-owner simply appeared and we gave our names. She didn't bother to introduce herself or ask if... More
