Official Description (provided by the hotel)

Featuring an unparalleled view of Mt. Greylock, Massachusetts' highest peak, the Guest House at Field Farm is a refreshing change from your usual bed & breakfast. Edwin Goodell, Jr. Designed the 1948 Bauhaus-inspired house for Lawrence and Eleanor Bloedel, avid modern art and furniture collectors of the time. Modern artwork adorns the interiors, and the surrounding landscaped gardens boast thirteen sculptures, including works by Richard M. Miller and Herbert Ferber. The house itself is almost a museum of modern furnishings, featuring reproduced Eileen Gray tables and George Nelson saucer pendant lamps in the Master bedroom, and a Noguchi coffee table, Kagan sofas, and a reproduction Eames chair in the living room. The Guest House is situated in the middle of Field Farm, 316 acres of conserved land with four miles of trails that can be enjoyed by foot or cross-country ski. This patchwork landscape features cropland, pastures, mixed forest, marshes, and a stream and pond. The Folly, a three-bedroom, pinwheel-shaped shingled guest cottage, designed in 1965 by noted modernist architect Ulrich Franzen, overlooks the pond and still contains furnishings designed by Franzen. ... more

“The Retreat House at Field Farm”

Reviewed July 29, 2016

The Guest House is more like a retreat house, quiet, tranquil, surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. I originally chose this sight because I like Mid-Century design and I wanted to escape the colonial decor of the other Berkshire B&Bs. I am happy to write that my choice delivered more than the decor. Ole, the innkeeper, was very welcoming and just... More

“Pax Americana”

Reviewed July 17, 2016

We often escape to the bucolic Berkshires for a few days of R&R - cultural and natural highlights include the Berkshire Mountains themselves, endless rolling hills, fine dining, museums, Tanglewood, hiking and on and on. One place we return to for the ultimate in peace and quiet and beautiful vistas is Field Farm B&B. The atmosphere is grown up -... More

“We visit whenever we can”

Reviewed July 8, 2016

Given the small number of rooms and a devoted following it is not easy to get reservations at this unique B&B so book as early as possible. It is owned by the (non profit) Trustees of the Reservations and in fact you get a nice discount on the room rate if you are a member. The property is over 120... More

Mike, Thank you for your review. I appreciate the comments and have noted your breakfast concern. (We are actually surrounded by 315 acres). We look forward to your return! More

“Serene and Magical”

Reviewed June 20, 2016

My wife and I have visited twice and plan to return. Field Farm is located about 10 minutes outside Williamstown MA on beautiful, (read: gorgeous) grounds that include open grassy fields, forest and rolling hills with breath taking views of the Berkshires. This is a perfect place to ‘get away’ from the day to day stresses and relax amid art,... More

“Everything we could have wished for...”

Reviewed May 15, 2016

We came here to celebrate a special occasion and it was just perfect. The house is filled with art and great mid-century design, and the grounds dotted with sculpture and chairs sited to take in every (gorgeous) view. There's no TV (hurray) but there is Wifi so we could check in w/ whatever we needed to. We enjoyed the hiking... More

Wasn't sure what to expect since I had not been to Williamstown in years. The Guest House exceeded my expectations! We were welcomed with tea and freshly baked cookies! There was beautiful artwork throughout the house as well as on the property. The rooms were immaculate. Our host,Robin, recommended a delicious restaurant for dinner and took great care of us....

“Beautiful views, minimalist vintage style, delicious breakfast”

Reviewed September 1, 2015

Wonderfully simple, unpretentious and elegant. We enjoyed local cheese and charcuterie with a bottle of wine on our deck. The pool was perfectly refreshing after a pleasant walk on the paths that meander around the lake and woods. Close to Williams College, MASS MoCA and Mount Greylock, yet feels remote and relaxing. The innkeeper is very friendly and the breakfast... More

We had a wonderful stay at Field Farm, so relaxing to sit out on our deck and take in the incredible scenery and clean air. We love the house design and all the mid-century furnishings. Really unique to feel frozen in time and such a treat to sit in the living room with a good book. They have an Eames... More

“Breathtaking”

Reviewed August 24, 2015

This is one incredible guest house on the fields, trails and water in the shadows of Mount Greylock. Unbelievable, stunning views from your bedroom, deck or outside chairs. This is what the countryside is about. Quiet. Serene. Unbelievable. Only six rooms, all with mid-century design. Breakfasts there are quite good with a very friendly and helpful staff. But you'll be... More

Thank Gerry G

Thank you for the review! When the original owner laid out what is now The Guesthouse, his main objective was to take advantage of the views and the setting in the middle of 315 acres. As one enters a room, one immediately gets 'drawn out' through large windows and every day the scenery changes. We are delighted that you enjoyed... More
