Perfect place for a quiet getaway, but close to all the things to do in the Berkshires.  The hostess is so welcoming and kind, and an amazing baker!  Would definitely return again for another weekend away with friends.  

Amazing restful spot

Love this lodge.  Very charming if you like quaint, historic properties. Great access to nearby hiking trails.  The breakfast was AMAZING!  Fresh pancakes, lots of fruit and other goodies.   My partner didn't enjoy the 'rustic' nature of the property as much as I did.  If you're looking for for something new and modern this is not the place for you (and maybe the berkshires aren't either) but I really enjoyed the character.  Will be back!

Charming property, amazing breakfast

An absolutely horrible experience! My family (2 adults and my 6 year old son) had reserved this so-called hotel for $284 in June for a 13th Aug stay. Our plan was to spend the entire weekend in the Berkshires, stay at Chestnut on Saturday night and watch the Tanglewoods concert on Sunday.
After a full day at the Berkshires, we checked-in at 6 pm. This place is in a terrible location (unpaved roads, still-in construction steps). To our horror we found that the room had No Air-Conditioning. It was 90 degrees outside and all they had in the room was a ceiling fan. There were bugs in the room due to the heat. On top of it all the bathroom was in a terrible condition (with built in plywood in the place of a shower). 
Since it was peak season, all hotels in the area were completely booked and prohibitively expensive. I spoke to Josie and explained to her patiently the entire situation and specific reasons. This is where it get's worse. Instead of apologizing she started arguing stating reasons that it is not that hot inside the rooms. After ruining our entire weekend, the least she could have offered was a refund back. Instead it was a rude conversation on how we as guests should have adjusted to the temperature. This place is complete Rip Off and built to take advantage of the steep hotel prices in the Berkshires. Please do yourself a favor and choose a different location for your stay.

Complete Ripoff!

This 1700's farmhouse is nestled among the trees on a hill/mountain side, just 2 miles from the main street in Lee, MA. Not only is this a convenient location, but the property, itself, is charming and quaint, and a respite for a nature lover.  We used to camp in the Berkshires and this location meets the expectations of a former camper and lover of wooded sites.

Josie (Joanne) owner and hostess, is charming and accommodating. She was fun to talk to in the mornings over coffee and delicious, homemade, or local food, such as seasonal fruit, homemade baked goods, yogurt, jams, etc. One could also enjoy their morning, on their own, in any of the charming seating areas in the house or out on the property, in the sun or the shade. It would be remiss not to mention the pleasure of a morning greeting from Bongo, the amazing dog of Chestnut Lodge. He wags his tail and emits charm for a morning greeting, but does not jump or bark to demand your attention.

Some people may want features, not in this setting. There was no TV or AC, but there is internet service. Our cell phone worked fine in this location, too. Our room, the yellow room, has an efficient ceiling fan and we were comfortable all three nights. Our bathroom was a basic, clean, farmhouse bathroom, with pull chain lights and lots of hooks to hang up toiletry bags, and sweats or lounging pants. 

Talk to Josie about the property, the room choices, and any questions you may have about your stay. It is a unique and charming place and contributed to our enjoyment, and good memories, of a late summer, weekend in the Berkshires. 

Quaint, rustic farmhouse in the woods

The property was advertised on Expedia as a Lodge offering shower (as a ROOM amenity) and shared bathroom. In reality it is a cabin in the forest far away from main house that has nothing of the kind. A potty toilet is about 500 feet from the cabin in the forest - impossible to use at night and the shower is outdoor also 500 feet away. We complained to the hostess and asked for a refund. Instead she offered us an "upgrade" to a room with private bath at the ridiculous cost of $200/night in an outdated, old and smelly house. The hostess was extremely hostile to our request and claimed, ridiculously, that Expedia  did not allow her to post an honest description of the property. Avoid!

Beware of false advertising of this terrible property

On top of it all the bathroom was in a terrible condition (with built in plywood in the place of a shower). After staying for 30 minutes we decided there was no way we can get a good night sleep in this place. The owner Josie had conveniently gone out for a pizza.Since it was peak season, all hotels in the area were completely booked and prohibitively expensive. So heartbroken we started to make our way (3 hours) trip back to Boston. I spoke to Josie and explained to her patiently the entire situation and specific reasons. This is where it get's worse.

You should be aware that Chestnut Lodge “Hotel” on 75 Chestnut Street, Lee, MA, is so far below my minimum standards that my wife and I rented a motel room rather than stay at this location.  The pictures advertised on your website are very deceiving.  The property should be condemned.Needless to say I had already paid $284.84 for this abomination.  Their advertising mentioned suites, spa amenities, etc., which were a disaster.    The shower looked like it was brought in from an outdoor shower that was used and was simply a tiny space framed with old sheet metal.  The light bulbs were maximum 20 watts, making it impossible to read.  The light over the bed had no switch to turn on.The street itself was half paved and very unappealing.  In fact, I had to contact six local residents before I could locate it.  I would rate this minus 5 stars.
