The Porches Inn at Mass Moca

This was our third visit to the Porches Inn and we loved it more than ever. The rooms are cozy and comfy and thoughtfully appointed. The pool and hot tub were a perfect way to unwind after our long drive north from Maryland. The staff were friendly and helpful but not intrusive. And the breakfast was spectacular!! We walked to a great dinner in North Adams and then spent the next day at MASS MoCA, one of our most favorite museums. We will certainly be back!!!

Parents who are considering staying here for a rare weekend away from the kids should know about their approach/inflexibility if things crop up last-minute as they can with kiddos! The property is still as great as we remembered when we stayed here for a wedding a decade ago. However, we have a bad taste in our mouth because on the day we were supposed to arrive, our oldest daughter woke up with an illness. Same-day Dr's appointments are hard so earliest we could get was late afternoon. It ended up being strep throat so we couldn’t come on the first day. We called asking for flexibility or credit and were told no. We asked for extended check-out and were granted 1 hour but told any additional time would be $$ per hour. Just not a parent-friendly or customer-centric approach. We love the property but aren't likely coming back or giving good reviews online or word of mouth because of this approach.

Porches is a cute little rustic inn in small town MA. Beautiful area to visit. We had some great hikes and it was about a 50 min drive to Tanglewood.
