The Summer White House is wonderful. Excellent value for the price. Central location, comfortable room, quiet, easy access to Tanglewood, and excellent hosts. Frank and Mary are the perfect hosts, friendly and interesting but respectful of guests' privacy. They magically appear just as you needed something!

The house is a beautiful old home filled with antiques and charming large rooms. The inn keepers were so friendly and helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. We had the Eleanor Roosevelt room which was very... More

Disappointing, especially from experienced innkeepers (they used to run the Gables Inn also in Lenox, now condos). The Summer White House has just opened, under these owners, but already feels tired and musty. We were not greeted at all upon arrival - the hostess/co-owner simply appeared and we gave our names.
