On a 111-acre wildlife sanctuary overlooking a private pond surrounded by the scenic natural beauty of The Berkshires, you’ll find the Yankee Inn. It’s cozy and comfortable here, where the day’s rhythms down shift into the undisturbed, easygoing pace of the 1950’s when we were an upscale motor lodge catering to travelers seeking to drop off the grid and unwind.
The warm, inviting spirit is palpable, creating the perfect setting for families, couples and groups to relax, reconnect and rediscover how special time together can be. Explore nearby attractions like the Norman Rockwell Museum, Edith Wharton's The Mount, Herman Melville's Arrowhead, Tanglewood, Ventfort Hall and more. Poke around the charming New England country towns of Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge, Great Barrington and Pittsfield. Enjoy exhilarating cross-country and downhill skiing at Butternut Basin, Jiminy Peak, Bousquet and Catamount resorts. Take a stroll to a nearby restaurant for a farm to table meal in downtown Lenox and enjoy a glass of wine by the fireplace in your suite which might be all the activity you seek.
Whatever brings you to The Berkshires, a memorable New England getaway is waiting for you at the Yankee Inn.
OUR HISTORY
In 2000 the former Yankee Motor Lodge (built in the 1950's) was converted from a motel to a hotel in which all old rooms were renovated and 37 new rooms were built. The Main Building houses our lobby, cocktail lounge, indoor pool and guest rooms, which include original as well as the newly built hotel rooms.
Our South Building maintains the motel style of the original motor lodge. Because the rooms are smaller than those in our main building and across the parking lot from our main lobby, rates are more economical than those in the Main Building. The rooms with 2 double beds have newly restored hardwood floors.
The property has undergone extensive renovations and upgrades this year.
