Easy to find and centrally located, the Merrell Inn is truly a gem. We were greeted by George, the innkeeper, who graciously offered recommendations to fill the time we spent off the mountain. He was always available to offer directions, not to mention and a wine shop or restaruant along the way! He made us dinner reservations at a French... More

I stayed at the Historic Merrell Inn for three days in July; it has become an annual, highly anticipated trip for me. The innkeepers could not be more accommodating. Andrew is always ready with great suggestions for new sites to see in the Berkshires, which is a wonderful area for a wide variety of vacation experiences. Breakfast is very tasty... More

Having run two successful guesthouses on Cape Cod for 17 years, I have a little understanding on how to run and operate a guesthouse. We chose the Merrell Inn for a long weekend in the Berkshires, mainly because of it's location and the past reviews we read on Trip Adviser. Well, the Merrell Inn is certainly historic judging from the... More

If Steven M ran two successful guest houses on Cape Cob for over 17 years, then I’m sure he appreciated feedback from guests while they were there so any issues or questions could be addressed and remedied while they were there. In an area like the southern Berkshires we have many attractions, hiking and museums within just a short drive.... More

The inn is very simple and basic (small room/bathroom, loud AC, can hear footsteps coming from the floor above, can hear cars passing by). Room was neatly arranged although there was a hint of odor due to the humidity. There are many inns in the area and I wish I had done more research as I stopped by a few... More

A little over eleven years ago when we took over the Inn my Mom gave me a sign that we put in the breakfast room over the fireplace along with several others. "Guests bring us Happiness, Some by coming and some by going." As we talk with guests many ask what percentage of each do we find, and 99% are... More

The inn is indeed historic (unlike many that make this claim) - interesting history, engaging and informative host (Andrew). We stayed here on our honeymoon tour of New England and were delighted by our choice. Andrew coundn't do enough to ensure our stay was worthwhile, and should we ever foind ourselves out that way again we won't hesitate to stay... More

This was a lovely inn. We stayed 2 nights on a trip to the Berkshires. The host is gregarious and tries to help you find things to do in the area. We already had plans but appreciated his helpfulness anyway. The room was great although a bit noisy as the building is close to the road (as are many old... More

Thank You, George, "Mrs, George" and Andrew, We were hooked the first time that we stayed at your beautiful Inn. This Thanksgiving couldn't have been more perfect. We spent our holiday in the comfort of "family". A new tradition has begun!!! For us, it's Heaven on earth. With Love, Fr. Norm and Ginger

When staying in the Historic Merrell Inn you stay in a living history. The Inn has been beautifully restored and it feels like you live in the early 1800's. We had a charming room on the second floor wit a good coach te spent the evenings and a good bed to spend the nights. When we arrived the owner welcomed... More

This inn was once a stagecoach stop and it is still a welcoming place to stay in the Berkshires. George, the innkeeper, graciously rented us a room for just one night, which is not his usual policy on a peak weekend...especially if the night is the opening night for the BSO at Tanglewood. We were exceeding lucky! Our room was... More

We traveled with our 3 and 7 year old girls for their first "real vacation" outside of a cruise, and found this to be such a fantastic find. We stayed in Room 11 which was a suite with a living room with pull out sofa, and the main bedroom was beautiful. The girls loved being in their own room, while... More
