My cousin and I travel a lot and Birchwood Inn has definitely made it to the top of favorite places to stay and revisit. I don’t write reviews much but this is one I can’t wait to rave about. My cousin and I have been researching for a weekend SPA getaway to celebrate her big “Five-O”. The glowing reviews on... More

How many guests -- new and encore -- give the innkeeper two dozen roses? As well as other gifts? You were two very special and memorable guests, and we look forward to welcoming you home to Birchwood Inn again soon, with or without roses! Thank you for sharing this milestone birthday with us. More

For the third time, I had the pleasure of staying at The Inn at Birchwood. I just can't begin to tell you what a pleasure it is. Strawberry Rhubarb pie? Yum. Welcoming rooms? Yes indeed. A great night's sleep? You know it. Ellen is such a wonderful innkeeper and her staff take excellent care of the Inn. I marveled at... More

Gorgeous country inn, beautifully situated next to a classic white New England church. The breakfasts and the homebaking are absolutely delicious, the inn keepers are charming and welcoming, and the library is one of the nicest rooms I can imagine to while away a peaceful hour in. It is within easy walking distance of Lenox village where there are lots... More

This is really the best B&B I've been to in New England. Ellen is amazing and hospitable. She even let me take home TWO LOAVES OF HOMEMADE BREAD!!!!!! Her dog Quinn, is also a delight. Bedroom was impeccably neat, clean. Decorations were beautiful and I loved the detailed antiques and historic pieces throughout the house. Felt like I was in... More

It is so rewarding to an innkeeper when guests have a great time, and when they like the bread! I do hope, however, that the inn isn't a do-not-touch museum but rather historic country elegance. We look forward to your next visit. More

One of the most heartwarming and comfortable stays we ever had. Ellen and David were incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and caring. The weekend both at the inn and in experiencing the town was magical from the countryside to the locals, and of course our hostess and host are alone worth the drive to Lenox. Thank you so much for making it... More

Just got back from a two-night stay at this charming bed and breakfast in Lenox, MA with another couple and had a wonderful time. Beautiful rooms, great breakfasts and tea time snacks, friendly and welcoming hosts (and doggies) combined to provide us with a relaxed and fun time. Very highly recommended.

Ellen is a great chef and has created some unique breakfasts including a delicious Parmesan shell filled with herbed eggs. We were especially impressed with the common areas that are filled with...

It is particularly gratifying when other innkeepers enjoy their stay at Birchwood Inn. Innkeepers firmly believe that bed and breakfasts are "the better way to stay." I can't wait to visit your inn on the Cape! More

The staff is incredibly helpful, warm, friendly and efficient. Ellen (the owner) is a superb master chef who works with her staff to prepare fantastic gourmet breakfasts each morning.
