The Cornell Inn

Bed and Breakfast

Our third time staying at the inn, first since the renovations. Still just as beautiful and full of character, with nice upgrades. They were super accommodating with a reservation mixup (our fault). Breakfast was delicious, as was the complimentary warm apple cider at check in. Loved the communal puzzles set up in the bar! Everything felt very safe. We’ll be back!

The Cornell Inn does not disappoint. Come as acquaintances (since their advance communication is excellent, no guest is a "stranger" to them) and leave as family. The staff is warm, welcoming, and truly happy to see you. The rooms are so gorgeous that you don't want to waste time sleeping in them. However, when you do, the beds are just right — and the roaring fire and evening nip of cognac, offered to you on the house, will send you off to dreamland. The breakfast is fresh, tasty, and varies daily — we never saw the same pastries or entrees during our three-night stay. We'll definitely return during our next visit to the Berkshires from Iceland.

The Cornell Inn Lenox, Ma was fabulous, beautiful setting lovely rooms, the staff was outstanding they made you feel right at home, a fun place. Especially Kurt the owner very attentive to all guests, food excellent, entertainment Friday & Saturday was wonderful. All in all was a wonderful experience can’t wait to return loved it, I would definitely rate it 10! ❤️

My husband and I stayed at the Cornell Inn this summer and had a wonderful time. The owner and the people that work there are absolutely great and make everyone feel right at home. The Inn is in a perfect location in Lenox and we strongly recommend it for anyone looking for a Bed and Breakfast in the Berkshire.

We have stayed here a few times. Always clean and comfortable. We were greeted by the owner Tim. What a friendly host. In the AM we had a wonderful breakfast. We will return soon.

2nd visit and still our favorite B&B in the Berkshires. Amazing Nell and Tim Inn keepers who are so accommodating and very pleasant to talk with. Room with a fireplace is so cozy! Wake up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and special prepared food to entice all palates. My favorite are the omelets but the Belgium waffles and blueberry pancakes were calling my name as well. Location is excellent and walking distance to Kennedy park as well as Lenox village. Restaurants are amazing! We will be back ❤️

Exceptional. 1700’s house with rooms named after famous first ladies, although no Melania?

The amenities are above reproach. I can’t imagine a better place in town to spend my honeymoon! All within walking distance of restaurants, parks, downtown shops, library, historical buildings and many more! Don’t miss out!

My fiancé and I spent a weekend here. We had an amazing time. Nell, the owner was always there to answer any question and had lots of suggestions of where to eat and what to do. We have already booked our next trip to the Berkshire’s and are happy to say we will be staying here again for our honeymoon.

Awesome weekend! Thank you! The hospitality is amazing! I highly recommend!

Let me start by saying I wish our visit had been longer. We booked our room for the weekend of the Bernstein Gala and checked in Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, we had to vacate VERY early on Friday because of the careless actions of another guest. Nell and Tim, the innkeepers, were consummate professionals, made sure all guest were cared for and accommodated, and followed up multiple times to make sure that we were ok. I’m so sad that we didn’t get to experience the inn, but complete appreciate the care that we were shown at all times. A+!

Outstanding B&B. Loved Tim & Nell. Central location. Great breakfast. I had a room in the main building. I'll be back.

The Cornell Inn was terrific. Nice room, comfortable beds and awesome breakfasts. Easy walk into town for dinner & they have a cute & well stocked pub back at the Inn. Grounds are picturesque. Inn keepers very nice & welcoming.

Our third year staying at the Cornell Inn. Great location for Tanglewood. Tim and Nell are the friendly owners who are always available. Breakfast outside near the fish pond can't be beat.

Great Great Great. We do an annual pilgrimage. Tim and Nel are the best.

Very quaint retreat and several beautiful Circa 1700 and 1800 homes. Loved it here!

Really cozy place (and I don't mean small). Very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast.

Lovely place, I'm stingy with 5 star ratting, but I had zero complaints.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful room, wine on the porch, and a delicious breakfast in a tranquil setting. The owner is very personable and wants to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Highly recommend The Cornell Inn.

This is a wonderful place to stay in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. Every room is unique, spacious and comfortable. Tim and Nell, the owners, greeted us at breakfast and served drinks to us in their little bar in the evening. The Cornell Inn is a walkable distance from the village of Lenox which is filled with great shops and restaurants. Our stay was absolutely delightful. I would certainly return to the inn.

We booked a two night stay at The Cornell Inn and absolutely loved it. The folks who run it are super friendly, they are a convenient walking distance to all of Lenox and the Kennedy Park trails, and they have the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel or B&B. This inn is on gorgeous grounds with a little stream and waterfall and a brook, and lots of places to sit and read and enjoy the trees and nature around you. We will absolutely be back.

Beautiful Inn, serene surroundings, fabulous fresh breakfast and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Wonderful! Gorgeous grounds. Fantastic, attentive staff. Simply beautiful. Great breakfast.

I stopped here on a trip between Albany and Boston with my bicycle. I'll come back. The innkeeper and staff are friendly and accommodating. Breakfast made to order in the morning. Within easy walking distance of downtown Lenox. And between the inn and town is Kennedy Park, with acre after acre of trails. As a cyclist I can share that this is a great home base for rides of all lengths on amazingly fun and lovely roads.

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Truman Suite… ideal for two women traveling together. Beds were very comfortable, shower hot, ideal setting as a base for visiting surrounding area. The grounds are beautiful and full breakfasts were superb. Owner, Tim, was extremely friendly and helpful. Karen, one of the staff, also very friendly. We loved it so much we're already booked for same time next year… making this an annual girlfriend get-away.

The place was beautiful and the staff where amazing, was off season ish (may) few years ago. The staff where so helpful and made us feel like their only guests. I would come back in a heart beat.

Friendly bed and breakfast with comfortable rooms in a quiet Berkshires setting. Breakfast was delicious, inn keepers were helpful, and the location was within walking distance from the shops and restaurants of Lenox, and driving distance to some of the best area hiking. Great escape no matter the season — we will certainly return!

The rooms have a lot of character, the staff is very friendly and they offered a good selection of gluten free options for breakfast to cater to somebody with Celiacs.

My girlfriend and I went for an overnight vacation to hike around the area. Very close to a small town and lots of trails with a short walk. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Great atmosphere. Nice rooms. Highly recommend. I stay here once a year for last four years.

The Cornell is a lovely in. Very quaint and beautiful. Staff are professional and lovely. Parking was easy. I recommend this establishment.

Have gone two years in a row. Wife and I really enjoyed this place. Live the breakfast too.

Thoroughly enjoyed my May 2010 stay. My only regret was that I did not have the flexibility to stay longer! Lisa, the innkeeper, was warm and welcoming. The setting and accommodations were excellent. Breakfast was delicious! Completely satisfied with this experience and hope to return in the future.
