Welcome to the Berkshires

Exciting News

The Cornell Inn is undergoing renovations to make it the premier Inn in the Berkshires. We will be taking reservations on this site in early February.

COVID 19 Info

Welcome! Effective June 18th, 2020, the inn is open for business with some restrictions. We have altered our food service, bar, and housekeeping programs to keep our customers and staff as safe as possible. Breakfast is being served outdoors on the deck next to the fish pond, weather permitting. Every room has its own air conditioner (and heat), so there is no air transfer between guest rooms via central AC. Call us if you have any concerns 413-637-4800. We spent the last few months improving the property, so expect it to be better than ever!
