The Beartown (Room 10)

COOKIES AND SNOW We decided on a holiday getaway not far from the Hudson Valley. We settled on Great Barrington because neither of us had visited there in years and we love the Berkshires. No, we do not ski, but we love good restaurants and shops and museums and especially charming inns. The Windflower has recently experienced a renaissance under new owners. It offered us a lovely room with king-size bed, spacious bathroom and comfortable public spaces. The inn was immaculate. Michelle is quite the cook and baker. There were numerous, generously filled cookie jars everywhere. Our breakfasts were delicious - from pancakes to quiche - everything was served hot and quickly. The breakfast room is bright and cheerful with a fire going and, on our visit, a snowfall to watch. The inn is beautiful in the snow. We had a a great visit at the Windflower and will visit again.

Overnight getaway My wife and I stayed at the Windflower for one night in mid-October and had a fantastic experience! It is under brand new ownership as of just last week, and I know that we were among the new owners' very first guests. The Inn was very clean, our room was of a decent size, and the private bathroom was surprisingly nice. The grounds are beautiful and the Inn is directly across the street from a nice public golf course. Homemade breads and scones were an amazing start to breakfast, followed by bacon, eggs, and pancakes. The food was plentiful and delicious. Fresh baked cookies, local apples, and K-cups of coffee available at all hours were a nice touch. We will definitely be back.
