Apple Tree Inn

This "resort" is set on a beautiful parcel of land. That's the good news. The lodge where we were put is in need of a complete overhaul. Nothing in the room except for a bed and a desk with two side tables. No easy chair or table. Electrical outlets coming out of the walls in both the room and in the public hallway. A/C unit non-effective and very loud. Mold and dirt in the bathroom.and one of our shower controls completely came apart day 1. There was never anybody at reception - there was a sign with a phone number to call to get someone to come. All this and the fact they charge an additional $15 per night resort fee make me say never again. Beware.

Outstanding

This “resort”should be shut down immediately. We were given rooms in the lodge and were shocked by the decrepit condition of the rooms. Air conditioning unit loud and not very cool. Thank goodness it wasn’t very warm outside. Mold and dirt in the bathroom on the floor and the heater unit. But most troubling is that we saw several electrical outlets coming out of the wall in our room and in the public hallway. Really? Code violations galore. Oh and don’t believe what the website says about every room having frette linens. Not exactly. No housekeeping service with no explanation upon check in. The additional resort fee charged per night just adds insult to injury. The property is set on a beautiful lot with great views and the main inn building is funky and cool though there was never anyone at the desk to greet or answer questions though there was a phone number you could call to get someone to come. Really disappointed with our experience here.

The location and the grounds are beautiful. My Grandchildren enjoyed the pool A quaint Older New England Inn

This house is apparently the old Astor estate. It is perfectly located, across the street from the Tanglewood parking lots. The common rooms are beautiful, elegant and comfortable, the pool also beautiful. Breakfast was continental and quite good. Our bed was soooo comfortable, as advertised. There are rooms in the main house and the nearby "Lodge." Now the not so good stuff. The website shows photographs of the rooms. Our room in the Lodge in no way resembled the photos. It was dingy, gray, brown, furniture was damaged and scratched. The ceiling and walls were dirt yellow with patched plaster all over. Sadly in need of paint, upgraded furniture and decent lighting. I was afraid to put any of my clothes in the closets--so dark and dingy. Bathroom was fine with a damaged sink cabinet. The good news is that the maid cleaned it so well. This room (and I have no idea how many others--we did see open doors with rooms that looked exactly like the Lodge BR photos) should not be rented for the $250/night we paid....or at all until it is renovated. I have stayed in B&Bs and Inns all over the world, including 3rd world countries. No room as dingy and in such disrepair as this room. If they hand you the keys to 211, simply decline and run!! I have forewarned the staff of this review. A great place in a great location with at least one disgusting room that should never rented again in that condition.

Our stay was average. Lovely location, older facility. Room with two double beds was rather tight. Bathroom needs upgrading. Young lady at check in was very gracious and helpful.

Property was very nice. However, we reported that there was a bad odor coming from our mattress.

My husband and I spent one night at the Apple Tree after attending a concert at Tanglewood. The property abuts a Tanglewood parking lot which made it extremely convenient. That convenience was why we chose this property. Our room was in the lodge which was clean but seedy - old carpet, peeling paint in the bathroom, dated bathroom fixtures. The room itself was just big enough for the queen size bed. A enjoyable complementary breakfast in the main building was included. It offered fresh fruit, homemade granola, bagels and muffins, hard boiled eggs, etc. The inn boasts a lovely windowed breakfast room and outside deck overlooking the wooded grounds. Unfortunately the large German shepherd that lives on the property is allowed to roam the breakfast area and put its nose on each diners table sniffing for food.

Convenient for Tanglewood, friendly staff, great views of mountains from Dining area
