This quaint, historic Inn is located in downtown West Stockbridge, about ½ mile from the Massachusetts turnpike and less than 10 minutes to Tanglewood and many other Berkshire attractions. The Inn, originally known as the U.S. Hotel and later the Westbridge Inn, like many of its day, was built for railroad travelers. Guests are able to easily walk around town for shopping or relax with a newspaper and a coffee in one of the nearby cafes. They will stroll over the Williams River which leads to Card Lake pond just minutes away. All rooms are furnished and decorated with appropriate furnishings to bring out the New England flavor. The bathrooms are all modern and several have tubs as well as showers. There are 7 rooms and 7 bathrooms (5 private) on the second floor and 4 bedrooms with 2 shared baths on the 3 rd level. The restaurant and kitchen are fully equipped and the restaurant holds a full liquor license. However, if one prefers, he/she can operate the Inn as a place to get a good night’s sleep and get pampered. There are several options of how to utilize the space in the Inn. Many improvements to the original structure were made in the past two years. This is an opportunity to change your hurried lifestyle and settle into the quiet and profitable business of running an Inn or an Inn and Restaurant.

Property: The Red Maple Inn
Address: 217 Main Street, Spencer, MA 01562

This pristine estate at 217 Main Street was built in the late eighteenth century, c. 1780, by Major William White. Mr. White was a “patriot to his country,” who served as a “Minuteman” in the early years of the Revolutionary War in battles in Lexington, Cambridge and Boston in 1775. This classically designed Colonial style building is for the most part standing today as it was more than two hundred years ago.

The Red Maple Inn features six deluxe guest accommodations appointed with period antiques and all modern amenities, including private bathrooms, air-conditioning, cable & color televisions with DVD players, 1000+ title DVD Library and complimentary high-speed wireless internet access.

There is a false back to a shelving unit in the dining room which opens to a secret small room. There is some idea that slaves on the “Underground Railroad” may have been hidden here; it was also a likely hiding place for the silver and china while the respective owners traveled.

The Inn Keeper suite is private, exquisite and totally away from any guest activity.

Lovely perennial gardens, ancient stone walls and towering evergreens surround the estate which is tucked into the heart of Spencer's Historic District. Original wide-board pumpkin pine floors, chair rails and crown moldings have been lovingly restored to their original beauty.

Indulge yourself on silky 350-count hand-ironed cotton sheets for the ultimate night's sleep. Sip a glass of wine in our romantic wine cellar or listen to soft jazz by the fire in our beautiful parlor.

The sale is “Turn Key” in nature and includes most all furniture, fixtures and equipment.
