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.

Weekend renewal My best friend of 51 years (college roommate) and I have enjoyed visiting the Great Barrington area for the past 35 years. It is something we look forward to with great anticipation. For the past 5 years we have been staying at the Windflower Inn and find it very relaxing, inviting and immaculate. We always enjoyed your conversations with Claudia, the former owner, but were equally delighted to meet the new owners, Michelle and Tom. They are warm and friendly and we felt very welcomed. Michelle is quite the cook, very attentive to my gluten free needs. We enjoyed amazing breakfasts and easy conversation with both of them. The coffee was wonderful. A very relaxing way to begin our days. In the past we have stayed at a variety of hotels and inns/ the most famous of course, for years, but we find Windflower Inn is the perfect ambience for our yearly get-togethers. Thanks, Michele and Tom. We'll be back next year.!
