Christine's Bed & Breakfast & Tearoom

Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

A Bed and Breakfast Carriage House Inn located in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

Bed and Breakfast Description

This 200 year old home was built by a Connecticut farmer migrating north to the Housatonic flatlands at the foot of Tom Ball Mountain.

The house sits as it did in 1780 near the "Old Way" to West Stockbridge, Route 41. It is said to be the oldest house on this road, with 2 1/2 acres of manicured flower beds and maple and pine trees.

Much of its original character is intact: wide pine floors, open beam ceilings and the Rumford fireplace in the main house. The Rumford Room, which is the oldest room in the house, is open for Holiday Specials with dinner packages.

The newer Carriage House for guests is decorated with many comforts of colonial times. In each guest room there are queen size high poster and canopy beds, paintings and handmade quilts.

All of our guest rooms at Christine's are beautifully furnished with country decor with warm colonial colors, making each room feel like a private sanctuary, inviting before or after your day. Quiet, rejuvenating, relaxing, but upscale for the Corporate Business Traveler.

All the guest suites have an inviting terrace, some of which overlook Tom Ball Mountain. The guest rooms are tastefully decorated with handmade quilts, paintings and antiques. All rooms have private baths, a color TV, phones, hairdryer, high poster queen, queen canopies, and some guest suites have fireplaces.
