Guests as Well as Julie & Julia Motivate Blog at The Inn at Stockbridge

Yesterday I had the opportunity to see Julie & Julia. I was in my glory after the movie. This guest blog consumes me as Julia Childs consumed Julia. Cooking is another passion of Len & I at the Inn as well. I was a home economics teacher and taught food service with the NYC restaurant school and the NYC Board of Education. Preparing wonderful breakfasts for our guests at the Inn is another thing that we love to do. Len prepares great omelets and is called the omelet king by many of our repeat guests.

Hank and Jill Narrow from Allentown PA have been visiting the Berkshires for over 30 years and the Inn at Stockbridge B&B in the Berkshires for 10 years. They already reserved their weeks stay for next summer. The speak of the Berkshires as "an infusion of culture, peacefulness and tranquility in a pastoral setting." This year as in all the previous 30 years they went to Tanglewood. They especially enjoyed Mark Morris with Yo Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax and Chris Botti on the trumpet. The Narrow's enjoyed Prisoner of Second Ave at the Berkshie Theatre Festival.
They also visited Shakespeare & Co.
Hank & Jill dined at Cafe Lucia & Bistro Zinc.
Hank works for Iron Mountain as director of Partner Alliances. Jill is employed by Welcome Wagon. Jill also has a supplemental business as JSN fine arts where she represents emerging artists.
Jill and Hank plan to return to the Inn next year. They especially like us, Alice & Len Schiller who ensure guest satisfaction and create a wonderful atmosphere which is conducive to conversation and interaction with the other guests. We love meeting the guests at the Inn, cooking wonderful breakfast for them and helping them enjoy to Berkshires which we love.

Mothers Day at the Inn at Stockbridge

Alice & Len Schiller, owners of the Inn at Stockbridge, an elegant Inn of 16 guest rooms located in Stockbridge, heart of the Berkshires, are thrilled that their daughters Ilana & Felicia along with their husbands Don & Moty joined them to celebrate Mothers day. It is also a wonderful time to celebrate Alice's birthday which was earlier in the week.
Alice is thrilled that her daughters and their husbands are thoughtful, caring loving. "Always a mom, who is there for me and cares about the big and little happenings in my life, someone whose advise makes decisions easier, whose concern lets me know she cares and whose love is appreciated every day."
Don & Ilana joined Alice as they visited the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge for their annual plant sale. It goes without saying that they made purchases of beautiful annuals and perennials for the Inn.
Breakfast in the beautiful dining room was enjoyed by all. Baked eggs with havarti & dill, glorious morning muffins and a fresh fruit salad along with the best Ethiopian yirgacheffe coffee was enjoyed by all. It was lovingly prepared by Sandra MacDonald, resident manager with the assistance of Edith Morales, head housekeeper and breakfast server.

Love and Food come together at The Inn at Stockbridge

Kevin McCracken & Chiyona Murano came to the Inn to see an old friend Sandra MacDonald our new resident manager. Kevin & Sandra are friends from enlighten next a spiritual community in Lenox.

Kevin lives in the building in NYC where Chiyono owns a Japanese restaurant called Chiyono's. The restaurant is at 328 East 6th St. Kevin knew there was something special about the food at Chiyono's, Japanese style home cooking. After several dining experience at the restaurant Chiyono asked Kevin to go out for a drink and he was thrilled. The relationship just bloomed.

Kevin is a contractor whose philosophy is "we improve peoples lives by improving their homes." Kevin's company is called interior transformations.

While visiting the Inn, Kevin & Chiyono had a great day sking at Jiminy Peak. When in New York Len & I can't wait to visit Chiyono and dine on some of her specialties such as vegetables and Gorgonzola cheese, squid sashimi or filled pork dumplings.

Its a privilege being the Innkeeper at the Inn at Stockbridge and having wonderful guests like Kevin & Chiyono visit us.
