Chambery Inn

We had a wonderful and unique experience staying at the Chambery Inn for 3 nights. Perfectly located for a walk in town, shopping, or getting a bit to eat. |The breakfast basket each morning was perfect for us and it was delicious. We also were very happy with our room as it was spacious and lovely furnished. Great stay.

Perfect location in the middle of town, can walk to all restaurants & shops on Main Street. Beautiful room with cozy fireplace, customized breakfast delivered in the morning. Unique interior with every detail attended to. A very special place.

Perfect location for walking to shops, restaurants, pubs, breakfast, and even ice-cream. The hospitality is over the top and the rooms and entire facility is clean and well maintained. As a frequent traveler, I rate this place as good as it gets these days. Would highly recommend staying here for a quick little get away. Easy 5 stars.

The Chambery Inn is cozy (with gas fireplaces), unique (former 19th century schoolhouse), and ideally located in Lee (close to Lenox and Stockbridge). We had a nice continental breakfast, from a sizable selection, brought to our room in a basket. We look forward to staying at The Chambery Inn again.

We stayed at the Chambery Inn this weekend. It was beautifully maintained, clean, a great location, easy/contactless check in and check out. We were asked our wine preference and a delicious bottle of red wine was waiting for us. It was also great to see some of the pieces of the schools history maintained and fun reading all the notes left on the chalk boards by previous guests. There was keurig machine in our room and outside in the hallway as well as an espresso machine, both fully stocked with lots of great options! We happened to be there over Memorial Day weekend so had a nice view of the parade sitting right outside of the Inn! We will definitely be back!

This is such a unique place to stay with a fascinating history. The owners were wonderfully accommodating with my husband’s many food allergies in the breakfast options. There are many delicious restaurants in walking distance.

Beautiful Inn with a rich history. It is a restored private school. Our room was beautiful. Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend this Inn to anyone wanting a unique experience in the beautiful Berkshires.

Excellent all around. We stayed in the L’Aubusson room, one of at least two rooms which were converted from 19th century schoolrooms. It was spacious, charming and had a special sense of place with the chalkboard running one side of the room and a large roll-up desk on the other. The inn is run smartly with unobtrusive service that is right there when you need it, but otherwise out of sight. Location was central to cultural activities, close to Lenox and an easy twenty minute drive to Stockbridge or Great Barrington. The Main Street of Lee is itself a treasure.

I love the homeyness of it, and the breakfast-in-bed! Also the inn keepers are very friendly!

Wow!!! This place is literally a gem! I'd give 10* if I could. Vibrant, cozy, historic, clean, perfectly maintained in every single detail! Olia the owner such a sweetheart!Recommended favourite places to eat and be entertained, so many things to do there. It was our first experience in Berkshires but definitely not last, can't wait to come back! I travel a lot in US and abroad, and trust me - you'll love that place from the very first step in! Is quite convenient to be in the middle of the town, the hotel's parking is pretty spacious! We loved our humongous room with beautiful interior, a fireplace. Also we bought a homemade maple syrup, the taste is yummm!

Lovely place to stay. Hotel is comfortable and has what you need and then some. They have fun room amenities. Lee is an interesting town and definitely a nice home base for a Berkshires adventure. An authentic small town feel vs what you often find in other towns. This place is a gem.

Absolutely charming, clean, and well-appointed country inn. We made a one night stop in the Berkshires on our way back to Pennsylvania to visit the Norman Rockwell museum and Stockbridge. The inn is located in the town of Lee which about ten minutes from Stockbridge -- it's an idyllic country town with several great restaurants within walking distance. The check-in process was very efficient, and since our room was on the lower level we were able to park in the rear for lower-level access (no stairs is always a plus when the suitcases are at max capacity). We stayed in the La Savoie room which was beautifully furnished including two chaises, a very comfy king bed, and a two-person garden tub. Barware and an in-room fridge was available. The owner was on-site at check-in, and explained the inn's history as a school that was moved and converted to an inn to rescue the beautiful old building from demolition. The only downside was the TV that wouldn't turn off...we're still not sure if it was ghosts of parochial school nuns still trying to torment my husband 50 years later or our lack of prowess with technology! The in-room morning breakfast basket was a welcome addition -- the cinnamon scones are among some of the best we've had. Perfect country inn; highly recommend!

Stayed here for a birthday weekend getaway with my adult daughter and I'm so glad I chose this Inn. It was just lovely. We stayed in the Sedgwick Room, which I understand is the only room with two beds. It was easily accessed through the front door. The room was beautiful! Large room, super high ceilings, two big comfy beds and a gas fireplace (which I didn't think I would enjoy in August.. but totally did!) You control your own temperature and it was always pleasant. It was impeccably clean and fresh. The Inn is very quiet and relaxing. The self-check in was quick and easy. Each morning a basket arrives outside your door with the most delicious coffee and breakfast of your choosing. We had scones and quiche and muffins... delish! The Inn is located in Lee, an adorable town on its own but quickly realized everything we wanted to go do or see was basically no more than 10 minutes away. Lee/Lenox/Stockbridge basically make a triangle with 10 minute sides. Super easy to get to places and park, even on a busy Saturday when it was a bit more crowded. We went to Tanglewood rehearsal (don't miss this! Walk the grounds listening to amazing sounds! Tip: buy the lawn seats, no need to go higher) ...then the Norman Rockwell museum on the first day. Antiquing and toured the Edith Wharton house the next. We had lunch at the spot of Alice's Restaurant the first day and on the terrace at the EW house the next. We had dinner both nights in Lenox. I highly recommend both Alta and Zinc if a bit pricey is okay with you. Amazing food at both. I recommend advanced reservations for good dinner times. I could go on and on. So many fun things to choose from in this area and it was awesome coming back to rest in such a wonderful room. We also ordered the cheese plate to be in our room which gave us something to nosh on when needed and was super delicious and abundant. This would be a great romantic getaway as well. If you are lucky enough to get availability... definitely book this place! It's close to perfect. My only con... they offer a cash discount which was nice but there was no safe in the room. This meant holding on to a wad of money all weekend until check out. Slightly unnerving to carry/leave in your car /have on your person. Not that I ever felt unsafe at any moment in all our time here... very safe area from our experience. We took a late night stroll down Main St in Lee one night and it was so quaint and quiet. All of the shops close around 5 pm so not a lot of night life here... just nice people, good restaurants, peace and quiet, fresh air and beautiful mountain views. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

My wife and I spent a long weekend in Lee for a family event. The Chambery inn was recommended by our niece who lives in the area. What a delightful pl. The room was eclecticly decorated. Cute, quaint, clean. Great staff from front desk to personnel delivering breakfast. A/C was a welcome relief from the summer heat.

Spacious room, comfortable bed, working gas fireplace in a renovated schoolhouse. Very New England. Have stayed there twice and would stay there again.

What a great find in the heart of Downtown Lee. A spacious and lovely well appointed room with a working fireplace. Extremely comfortable and clean. The innkeeper was very nice and wanted to make certain I had everything I needed. I will be certain to stay again next time I am in town.

I am not sure who is posting positive feedback for this establishment, but I think there is a big difference from what I read and what I found. This place is awful! I had the handicapped room in the back (street level), and it was just a dreadful experience. Musty carpets, tiny broken TV, no insulation from the cold and street noise, no heat in the room (they provide a space heater!!!), no salt on the driveway when ice and snow, no front desk staff most of the time!! (we had to chase down the young lady to ask for coffee), the coffee maker is a joke (does not produce hot beverage), uncomfortable beds. Stay away from this place, anywhere else is going to be better.

We just returned from our third overnight stay at the Chambery Inn. We had reserved one of the smaller rooms which we have stayed in before which we have found to be clean, comfortable and convenient. We arrived this time to be surprised with a complementary room upgrade to one of their larger rooms. This room was also clean, comfortable and the bed and comforter were very comfortable and warm on what was a brutally cold night. We were late putting out our breakfast request but the staff filled our request anyway and delivered a nice hot breakfast to our door. The coffee is good and hot and the quiche is really delicious! We will continue to stay there when visiting Lee, MA.

I had made a mistake on the place I booked for a one night getaway. My wife and I decided to pursue another option after seeing the place. While at dinner, I called Chambery Inn. We only needed one night, and I think previously the website would not take just a one night reservation. I understand that. But as luck would have it, there were two rooms available. The room we took was amazing. Bob, the owner, was helpful, cheerful and just a great person. This is the kind of happenstance that truly brings joy to the heart.

If you like Bed and Breakfast spots, you will enjoy this one! We had an old school room with a long chalkboard as our home away from home. Very spacious and quiet. Most of the time we felt like the only ones there. Only saw staff once (due to Covid) but they were very friendly and helpful. We were there to visit the Norman Rockwell museum in Stockbridge, but also enjoyed the lovely town of Lee. Breakfast was nice and food options around town were delicious. Great and unique experience!

Excellent overall experience - nice room, reasonable price, walking distance to everything in town.

My family and I were supposed to be vacationing in NM last week but that got cancelled due to Covid-19. So my wife and I decided to get away just for 1 night and decided to give the Chambery Inn a try and enjoyed every second of it. The staff was wonderful and courteous and did a great job even with social distancing protocols in place. We got the fire spa suite which consists of a fire place, 2 person hot tub and was very spacious & beautiful. Our room even had a chalk board on the wall for you to write on, which may have been left over from when the bldg used to be a school house many years ago. We definitely plan on going back again, hopefully in the very near future.

I have stayed here several times for the past 3 years. The atmosphere is unbelievable, the service is fantastic and the rooms are always clean. It's the opposite of a best western or any other chain hotel. The location is also very convenient. Very personable staff. I will keep coming here for a long time to come.

My fiancé and I were going to Tanglewood and wanted to find an inn nearby to avoid a long drive back to Vermont after the show. The Chambery Inn did not disappoint. It was charming: big rooms with high ceilings, comfortable bedding, breakfast served in a basket at your door, and a short drive from Tanglewood. The building was an old schoolhouse and our room had the chalkboards still on the wall. We loved it and will definitely go back!

This was a an incredibly beautiful Bed and Breakfast. The rooms were amazing. Love the touch of the chalkboards in the room. The breakfast was delivered right to your door, right on time and it was delicious. As we checked in, we were offered a complimentary upgrade and it made our day. The staff was friendly and helpful. I really cannot wait to go back and stay.

We've stayed at the Chambery Inn many times over the years and just recently had the pleasure of staying there again! Spacious room, comfy bed and seating area. Appreciate breakfast and the local paper being delivered each morning to our door. Friendly and courteous staff. All around charming! We look forward to coming back again!

My fiance surprised me with a romantic birthday overnight at this marvelous inn! We settled into Le Lycee and loved every moment there. A king sized, VERY comfortable bed, gas fireplace to relax by before going to bed, and then again in the morning. The chalkboards were an added bonus for two artists (we have similar huge slate chalkboards that were saved from a college academic building - weren't sure what we'd do with them, but with an addition going on our house, now we know...!) We slept fabulously, and woke to a knock on the door when our breakfast was left - in a lovely basket with everything needed to settle back in by the fire and enjoy hot coffee, fresh boiled eggs, fresh croissants, warm quiche straight from the oven, freshly cut fruit, and the Sunday paper! Thick, cushy bathrobes and warmed towels made getting out of the shower easier than usual. The staff member we met, Tanya, was absolutely delightful and terrifically helpful. A a great package, all the way around. It was so very difficult to leave, but we know we'll be back!!

Wonderful. One of the most charming places I've ever stayed in New England. Lovely room loaded with little touches that make the experience special. They gave us a free upgrade, which was unexpected. Will certainly return anytime I'm in the area.

Gorgeous historic school house. We could not have enjoyed our stay here more....staff goes above and beyond to make your stay great! We stayed in the La Savoie suite for Mother's Day, the jacuzzi and fireplace provided the relaxing atmosphere I needed! Make sure to have the quiche for breakfast that's served in a sweet picnic basket. Highly recommended, will be staying again!

Amazing room and amazing service in this historic property. My wife and I came for the fall foliage and the Inn and community made it a perfect trip. We will be going back again and will book this beautiful Inn .

Best bed and breakfast my wife and I have ever stayed at. Spacious rooms with fireplace, comfortable bed, ample closet and drawer space. You order your breakfast from their many choices (quiche, hard boiled eggs, cereal, granola, yogurt, scones, croissants, bagels, juices, coffee, etc.), leave the card on the door specifying time of delivery, and voila, your breakfast arrives in a quaint wooden basket. Outstanding service--very accommodating. We arrived after midnight, and the staff left the back door and the door to our room open for us. Check in and check out was a breeze--indeed, we never had to go to the front desk, except to get the delicious chocolate chip cookies. We will definitely stay there when we return to the South Berkshires. Great place to stay for those going to Tanglewood.

This is a cozy B&B with a fascinating history and delightful design. It used to be a parochial school run by French nuns. (Indeed, the chalkboards are part of the decor.) It was scheduled for demolition, but a thoughtful soul saved it, relocating the building. It's fun just looking around: articles on the walls, as well as original furniture, tell the history. Make certain to leaf through the record book that goes back to the late twenties. The ceilings are high and beautiful, and the windows are large, perfect for watching falling snow. Our sizable room had a gas fireplace, as well as a jet bathtub. Breakfast is simple, but wonderfully presented in a large basket; one chooses items on a checklist the day before: hard boiled egg, scone, fruit cup, oatmeal, etc. We appreciated the high quality teas, Keurig machine/cups, and DVD selections. The establishment, moreover, is in proximity to small stores, as well as a gas station. One important note: this isn't the place for loud conversation-- noise carries easily and readily. One should be light in one's step as well, so as not to disturb others. Finally, the prize of this B&B is its friendly people. They truly wish to create a warm, joyful experience.

What a cute place! It's a converted schoolhouse made into a B&B -- though the bones of this place are quite old, it was made into an inn less than 20 years ago, so all the fixtures and amenities are quite new. The decor is very French country-kitchen-esque -- so floral prints, lace, you name it. I came here with my mother and we were just squeeing at how cute everything was the whole time. The room we were given was La Sedgwick (named after the family that rescued this schoolhouse from demise and converted it into an inn) and it had 2 four-post beds and even chalkboards on the walls (from when this room was clearly a main classroom). The bathroom was airy and open and the tub even had a whirlpool built in. Breakfast is delivered to your room in a cute picnic basket, and you can dine right in a nook of your own room. We really enjoyed our stay here and appreciated that this place was not exorbitantly priced (unlike a lot of other inns in the area, especially around peak summer season) and that it was within easy strolling distance of Lee and a quick drive to any of the other towns, like Stockbridge. We'll definitely be coming back here for any other stays in the Berkshires.

I can't say enough good about this inn. Everything about it is delightful from the minute you walk in and are greeted by a pleasant woman at the front desk. The freshly baked chocolate chip cookies also make a great first impression! We have stayed here quite a few times and always look forward to the breakfast which is brought to your room. Fresh fruit, creamy yogurt, quiche, muffins, etc Only problem was the wimpy hairdryer. But I will just remember to pack my own next time. We love this inn!

A very sweet Inn! We stayed in a spacious room with breakfast delivered to your door. I highly recommend this inn.

What a piece of heaven here in Lee, MA. Our room has a two person hot tub, fireplace, and king size bed. Finished off with a room delivered breakfast basket this morning. Highly recommend this Inn.

We enjoyed the Chambery Inn....our host, Nick, was very accommodating and helpful plus he was just a very pleasant young man. We were welcomed with the scent of home baked cookies ....we did not partake due to the calories we consumed over the holidays but they smelled amazing. Our room was HUGE and very nice. I was afraid being on the main level that we would hear a lot of noise but it was quiet. We loved the little sitting area and enjoyed cocktails and dessert with family members. The breakfast was OK! It seemed like it was cooked earlier and then reheated but the man who delivered it to our room was very thoughtful

The hotel is beautiful and easy to find; close walking distance to lots of restaurants. I absolutely loved our third-floor room (Le Lycee) - very spacious, high ceilings, fireplace. The whirlpool jets aren't very strong and are super loud, but the tub itself is comfortable and the shower has great water pressure. Toiletries are great, but their hair dryer isn't great so bring your own. Housekeeping could be a little more thorough; we found food on the floor and in a drawer. A delicious continental breakfast is served directly to your room in the morning in a cute basket. We both loved this inn and would definitely stay here again.

I don't know where to begin with how fantastic my stay was here the inn. I stayed for five nights six days and it was one of the most relaxing vacations I've ever had. Everyone who works at the Inn is extremely accommodating and friendly. I ended up being upgraded for free to one of their premier suites. I greatly enjoyed the king size canopy bed, the 40 inch flatscreen TV, world pool tub, fireplace which I had going all day and night, and the free movie library they had on the main floor. There was so much history and charm to this and it was like no other bed-and-breakfast that I've ever stayed in. It's also important to mention that every morning I got free breakfast of my choice delivered to my door in the cutest basket ever. I was able to have two separate 90 minute in suite massages. One was a sugar scrub and wrap and the other was a standard Swedish massage. Both were fantastic and the staff are very professional. I also made an appointment at Soul Spa that was directly across the street for a 90 minute hot stone massage which I've never had before. I will say it's a tad bit pricier at this particular place but it was the best massage I've ever had. I would highly recommend both the spa and a hot stone massage in general. On the morning that I was to check out I was very sad to have to leave this gorgeous facility. It was just so quiet and relaxing I will definitely be coming back in the future. It also didn't hurt that on my way home I stopped at the outlets which are five minutes down the road from the inn. I did some major damage at coach and Ann Taylor. I wanted to write probably the most thorough review I will ever right on yelp because it is such a little hole in the wall that deserves so much attention. If you are ever in Western mass and in need of a place to stay absolutely consider the Chanberry in

Great inn, excellent location and good value. We stayed there over Columbus weekend. As others have mentioned, the building is unique: a former parochial school. What this means is that most of the rooms are HUGE--think high ceilings, and the square footage of a classroom. They are also extraordinarily quiet. White the decor could use an update, the rooms are very clean and well-appointed. Bed was very comfortable. Staff is super friendly. Morning breakfast--delivered to your door in a basket--was great and a real plus. We really appreciated being in easy walking distance of downtown Lee, including Chez Nous, practically across the street. A real find!

I totally agree with the first reviewer. This is a unique place that is "something to write home about". Who would think of having a converted classroom in a French-style schoolhouse as a bedroom suite, complete with chalkboards (and chalk)? It's very spacious, very well appointed, and very sweet, even romantic. We're going back. It was fun, the price was right, and there's a good restaurant across the street.

I love this inn. We have gone 2 years in a row and got the same room. It's cool how the building is a former school house. Our room, on the first floor is huge; decorated with quaint furniture and a wall length chalk board that you can write on. The jetted tub is wonderful, also the deck which you can see a train whizzing by. We will be back again.

Adorable! At first we were a bit skeptical about it being in an old parochial school, but it ended up being quaint, and perfectly New England. The hostess was nice, the room was beautiful, and it felt very home-y. Will definitely be staying there next time we head up!
