Ingram and Tricia are not only excellent innkeepers, they are up on almost every issue on the American political landscape. It is a perfect place for a writing seminar. It has a magical fireplace that inspires conversation and general good feeling. And to top it off, the huge sunroom in the inn has perfect view of a waterfall that flows... More

We stayed at the Inn after my parents recommended it (they had stayed here ten years ago) and it didn’t disappoint us a decade later. It’s located conveniently close to the Taconic State Parkway (for a hassle free ride into New York city), right next to the fascinating Shaker villages of Hancock and Mt Lebanon (for those who are culturally/historically...

My wife and I found this inn in 2002 on our first trip to the Berkshires. I was drawn to its historical pedigree (I admit I am a history professor), and the building did not disappoint. The place is rustic, and it suits both it and the innkeeper, Ingram, who is a fascinating and friendly fellow. The landscape itself is... More

I recently stayed at this Inn for a few days with my partner and adult children. The innkeeper Ingram was very nice and pretty helpful. The rooms are basic, no frills to be sure. The bathrooms/showers are tiny and the stalls pretty run down. The Inn is a combination of quaint charm and dated ambience. Carpet is worn, furnishings are... More

I couldn't have a more different experience than the previous review. Perhaps we were fortunate to get a room on the first floor, in which the floors were wood and not carpeted, but we found this place to be a real gem (not to mention blissfully chintz-free), and a very good deal. The rooms are simple but pleasant, and the... More

The Inn at Shaker Mill Farm appears to be a quaint, charming B&B--they have a charming website and photos, and a gorgeous location. However, we arrived and found our room--and frankly, the building as a while--to smell excessively like (pet?) urine. The carpeting was very dirty (need a serious shampooing), the tub looked as though it had not been cleaned... More

We were so pleased...until we saw our tub didn't appear to have been cleaned since it was installed. This of course colored our entire stay (which we cut very short)..I dreamed of bleach our entire night. So sad, since our view was wonderful and we were so looking forward to the experience. We're not picky by any means, but.......

This Inn has some very nice features! We really enjoyed our stay there. The grounds are gorgeous! The setting is very tranquil and restorative. It has a wonderful babbling brook running behind it with a waterfall and walking trails. The sunny front yard is huge with a little pond in front and lots of pretty gardens and sitting areas. The...
