There is nothing not to like about the Wainwright Inn. The inn itself is charming old house with spacious yet cozy rooms on three floors. Several have fireplaces, and all have comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. I was there as part of a family gathering -- we rented out the entire inn -- so I can attest to the fact... More

My wife and I were looking for a weekend escape to catch up on a ton of reading, and we happened by the Wainwright Inn. After speaking to the Innkeeper, Marja, on the phone, I knew it would be great. Well, it completely surpassed my expectations. Firstly, it's a beautiful, huge house. Secondly, the hospitality is the best you can... More

I cannot say enough nice things about this Inn. My husband and I just spent New Year's weekend there and enjoyed every moment of our stay. The innkeeper, Marja, was so incredibly helpful and hospitable. The room, the breakfast, the decor, its location... everything was perfect. We'll be back! More

This beautiful and historic old building on the south side of Great Barrington is a landmark, but the really extraordinary features are inside. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the breakfasts creative and delicious, the authentic Victorian decor charming (there's an upside-down Christmas tree in the parlor during the holidays) -- and innkeepers Marja and Robert and breakfast cook Darryl...

Stayed while visiting Tanglewood for a concert. Rooms are adequate. Only complaint is that proximity to the road makes it too noisy to sleep with windows open and window air conditioner was noisy. Fairly priced for the area. More

My husband and I made a return trip to Great Barrington this weekend and the highlight of our visit was a restful and relaxing stay at the Wainwright Inn. Marja, Robert, and Darryl welcomed us like family, and it was great to see them and catch up with them. Our room was comfortable and immaculately clean, and our breakfast was... More

The Wainwright Inn has become one of my favorite places on earth. Robert, Marja and Darryl always welcome us in as part of the family and immediately there is warmth and laughter. As always the breakfasts were phenomenal. Lisa and I just spent Labor Day weekend there and it was just what the doctor ordered. We spent hours on the... More

This was a great base for our stay in Great Barrington. It's in an old house (built in 1766) that's been expanded and updated several times. All in all, the inn was in very good shape, given its age. Our spacious second floor room (Pope Room) had a four-poster bed, oriental rugs, antique furnishings, a very good shower/bath, and access... More

Only stayed a night, but hope to return. This victorian inn is furnished with a nice mix of antiques and an unexpected feather hat collection. Rooms are spotless, inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed the front porch with friends. Warm hospitality. More

The Wainwright Inn is quite beautiful. The owners are warm, friendly, welcoming and very helpful. My husband & I were there with a group of friends from our cycling club. The owners made special accommodations to store our bikes and meet our breakfast times and dietary quirks. The breakfasts were delicious. Fantastic coffee! My room on the top floor was... More
