We were very happy with our stay… Maureen was so hospitality and made sure all our needs were taken care of, from lending us an Apple plug, making dinner reservations for us to making sure we had all enough breakfast food. We love Lennox and would definitely want to stay at her place again, when we come back. Thank Maureen for the special time!

We have stayed at the Brook Farm for the last three years. It is a beautiful, charming bed and breakfast with delightful proprietors. Maureen is so lovely and inviting, and the Inn is a family run operation. You can reserve a delicious picnic lunch or dinner to take to Tanglewood or elsewhere. The breakfast options change daily and are very nice. The rooms are cozy and clean and decorated in New England country style. The grounds are quiet and filled with flowers and woods. We will always try to stay here if they have space!

The breakfast, coffee & afternoon snacks were fantabulously delicious, perfectly proportioned & beautifully presented. R rm was just the right size w/ a prvt bath. Located w/i the Bershires & pleasantly close all the places we wanted 2 explore, NTM the shopping👍😁

The back entrance to Tanglewood is at the end of the street. Innkeepers Joe and Maureen were gracious, attentive and funny but we appreciated their ability to be there without hovering. The house has an interesting historical connection to poetry, music and Boston’s nineteenth century artist community. The breakfast is beyond stellar; a quiet delicious flexible beginning to each day. Don’t obsess, book this.

his is a LOVELY place run by smiling people who are genuinely eager to please in all aspects -- small to large. Some casual Yelp readers might see four stars (hell, the place deserves a constellation) but should also see that those reviews were given in 2014 when a different set of people were running the Inn. The current owners, Maureen and Joe Corcoran (and their most amiable staff of younguns) do everything to make visitors comfortable, without, I might add, any fake "professional friendliness," or fawning over people. If you want to sit and read in peace in the parlor or on the porch (there's a great selection of books and my wife and I are biblio-snobs) you can do so in perfect serenity. But Maureen might appear at your elbow and genially ask if you need more water or would like a cup of tea. I said yes to the second and a teapot full of choice Earl Grey -- my drink -- appeared quickly. Our room was well-appointed, everything was clean, neat, tidy. Seriously plush towels; very hot water in profusion. And (it's July) a cosmically effective AC to adjust to one's liking. My wife and I are light sleepers, and on the second night of our stay, the inn was full, but human noise did not disturb us. The night before, we got a paper menu to choose what we wanted for breakfast and to pick what time we wanted to come to the dining room: ample choices, familiar and unusual, lots of hot coffee, ice water, and good cooking. Maureen has a culinary background, and it shows.

Best Place to Relax in Lenox!
This was the most cozy inn that we have stayed at in Lenox. The owners Joe and Maureen could not have been better hosts. The breakfast was top notch (You have to have the blueberry buttermilk pancakes and bacon!) The room was spacious, warm and such a comfy bed too. The large windows overlook beautiful woods where we could watch the birds and saw red fox wandering around as well. Brook Farm is a short walk to downtown, or a 2 minute drive - but far enough away that it is quiet and serene. Joe and Maureen provided wonderful dinner recommendations, as well as information about the local museums and things to do. (There is a lot!) We originally went out to ski at a few local places. The living room had a beautiful fireplace, and adjoining room had plenty of books to peruse as you relax, or games as well. It was stormy one day during our stay, and we were pleasantly surprised at the array of streaming channels in our room to choose from - Netflix, Peacock, etc. In the afternoon, Maureen put out cheese and crackers and a few sweets - a nice surprise and snack to hold us over until dinner at one of the great farm to table restaurants near by. Thank you Joe and Maureen - we can not wait to return to Lenox!
