About Seven Hills Inn:

Enter a world furnished with antiques, hand carved fireplaces, leaded glass windows and eclectic art at The Seven Hills Inn. This Gilded Age Mansion is surrounded by 27 acres of lush lawns and stunning gardens, and located in the heart of the Berkshires.

Here you can escape to the country, stroll down wooded lanes, bask in the sun, lounge by the pool, indulge in hearty country breakfasts, watch leaves turn magnificent colors, snuggle up by a fireplace during the cooler months, enjoy the vistas from an expansive bluestone patio, picnic on Tanglewood’s lawn just across town, tour Edith Wharton’s estate, marvel at the master’s works at the Norman Rockwell Museum, or spend a day with your feet up doing absolutely nothing.
