Description of Inn
This 1824 brick, federal-style colonial is a landmark in the historic area of Stockbridge/Lee, Massachusetts. It has a well earned reputation as one of the elegant inns in the Berkshires, the cultural capitol of New England. Set on 2.7 acres, deep on a lawn, the Federal House Inn is framed by ancient copper beech trees and stately pines.
Upon entering the front door, one is immediately aware that this home was built by and for a prominent family in the 1820s—high ceilings, grand staircase, wonderful old fireplaces, etc. All nine rooms are beautifully furnished and have private baths. The kitchen is newly remodeled (2007), as is the spacious owners quarters on the first floor.
The Federal House Inn has a strong brand as an elegant inn with remarkable hospitality.
In the 80s and 90s it was run as both an inn and a four star restaurant. The property is zoned “commercial” and could again be run as an inn and restaurant. The commercial zoning uniquely positions it versus its local B&B competition to capture the add-on business of dinners, parties, weddings, etc.
Located minutes from Tanglewood (summer home of the Boston Symphony), the Norman Rockwell Museum, other cultural venues and ski resorts. The inn is well managed. It is profitable with a very substantial repeat customer base. Has one of the best inn/B&B websites (www.federalhouseinn.com) All financial information available to qualified buyers.
