History

Established in 1985.

The Inn is an authentic 230 year old Berkshire cottage Farmhouse located close to Tom Ball Mountain. In the 1700’s a Mr. Robert Turner lived with his family in the cottage which was part of the Turner Farm Estate on North Plain Road in scenic Housatonic in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Turner was well known in this community and it is reported that he worked diligently to help the local people. In the late 1700s, North Plain Road was the main thoroughfare between Housatonic and nearby Great Barrington and the Turner Cottage is one of the oldest buildings on this road. Most people would travel this dirt road by horse and buggy.

The Turner cottage was termed a «Grand Cottage» because it was fortunate and unusual in having two rooms for living space. Both the working kitchen and the best room were built with large fireplaces. The Rumford fireplace in the Living Room is a rare example of an effective design by Count Rumford produced in 1796.
