Federal House Inn

Foyer
The Inn is strategically located in an area with lots of historical and cultural events, making your experience at the Federal House one of entertainment and delight.

Living Room
The Federal House Inn has a handsome living room and a special breakfast room where you can peacefully enjoy your morning meal.

Breakfast at the Inn
You will love our fresh roasted coffee with its nutty, chocolaty finish. Fresh juice and seasonal fruit will be followed by gourmet hot entrees such as our signature croissant French toast with spiced apples and Berkshire eggs benedict.

Beartown Mountain Room
With large windows that provide luscious views of the state forest, the Beartown Mountain Room is brilliantly lit with sunshine, pleasing colors, and comfortable furniture. It includes a queen canopied pencil post bed, and wing chairs that are wonderful companions for that perfect book. With all of this plus a dressing area adjacent to a modestly elegant bathroom, you are provided with everything you need to enjoy your home away from home!

The Billiard Room
The Billiard room is not only exquisite, it is also historically significant. In the early 1800s, Thomas Hurlbut, the paper mill magnate who built this house, played billiards with his friends in this very room. Although it may have been an excellent billiards room, it makes an even better guest room. With its radiantly sunlit atmosphere, enjoyable sitting area, and mahogany pencil post canopy bed, you can forget about your worries and simply relax. What better way to unwind than standing in your private outside entrance, gazing upon the sweeping sights of the luscious, green landscape of the Berkshires.

The Rose Room
Just like a perfect romantic hideaway, the Rose Room is tucked away neatly and peacefully undisturbed in a corner of the Federal House. Its rose theme and white iron queen bed easily adds to the feel of romance. Of course, just like any true romantic hideaway, there is a Franklin Stove gas fireplace to keep you cozy in the night. Wide pine floors and a built-in wardrobe stay true to the historical ambience of this home, and combine with the rose theme to create a romantic getaway in time.

The Thomas Hurlbut Suite
Our largest room, the Thomas Hurlbut Suite, is named for the pioneering papermaker who built Federal House for his family in 1824. This elegant room features a mahogany four-poster, rice pattern bed with a hand tied canopy. With its pleasant and spacious sitting area, you can easily lose yourself while relaxing in front of the warmth of the crackling fireplace. The large windows provide lovely views of the front lawn with its stately pines and majestic copper beech trees. Additionally, the couch is convertible into a single bed, enabling the room to accommodate three people.

The Crabtree Room
The Crabtree Room is named for the beautiful crab apple tree that can be seen directly through the window. It can be admired while lounging in the lovely sitting area and enjoying the glow of the fireplace in the evening. At night, our guests staying in the Crabtree Room are welcomed to take comfort in the cozy canopied, mahogany, four-poster bed. In the morning, guests can open their eyes to the soft, dawn light filtering through the delicate crab apple tree and illuminating the floral wallpaper and handsome pine floors.

The Rainbow Room
Just as its name implies, the Rainbow Room is vividly colored and eye-catching. This room is positioned in a corner of the Federal House which is an ideal spot for sunshine. This charming room is tastefully decorated with antique mirrors, an oak pencil bed, dormered windows, adorable built-in chimney nooks, and Laura Ashley wallpaper. With such a pleasant atmosphere, what better treasure could you find at the end of a rainbow?

The Norman Rockwell Room
Graced with an antique sleigh headboard, the two twin beds, which can also be conveniently transformed into one king-sized bed, lend this spacious, carpeted room an enchanting, old-fashioned feel. The assorted Norman Rockwell prints give this room its name and remind us of his unique ability to depict faces and scenes which seem familiar to us all.

The Yale Hill Room
This bright, sunny room has three windows with great views of the Yale Hills in the back of the property. This room includes a queen pencil post bed, an antique dresser, and a cozy wall-to-wall carpet to keep your bare feet warm in the mornings. It is especially delightful during fall foliage because of the towering maples that can be seen changing pastel colors through the delicately draped windows.
