The Inn at Clamber Hill
Bed and Breakfast

Nestled away on a private, 33-acre preserve in Petersham, Massachusetts, The Inn at Clamber Hill beckons discriminating bed and breakfast enthusiasts with the perfect opportunity to leave their cares behind.

Choose between two suites, each with private sitting room, fireplace, and private bath, or one of the three spacious double rooms with queen-sized beds and private baths. Whichever you choose, you will find that your accommodations have been individually and tastefully decorated, with each room having its own distinctive charm. Relax with a good book by the fireplace in the stately library amidst antiques, Oriental carpets, and original artwork or curl up in cozy comfort in the overstuffed sofas of the sitting room. A sun-filled Wintergarden as well as the Wisteria Terrace and Sunset Flagstone Patio are also welcome places to relax.

Each morning, enjoy a two-course gourmet breakfast made fresh daily in the kitchen. Owner Mark Ellis loves to delight guests with homemade specialties for breakfast such as cream cinnamon rolls and Belgian waffles topped with fresh strawberries and chantilly cream. The menu changes daily and requests are welcome. The inn is fully licensed for wine, cocktails, and beer. High tea is available by advance arrangement. The Inn also has a restaurant open from 5:00 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday and by advance arrangement.

For guests seeking an active itinerary, the inn is conveniently located near fresh-water swimming, bird watching, golf, hiking, bicycling, and in winter, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. For downhill skiers, Mount Wachusett is less than 30 minutes away. For golfers, a rare gem of golf architecture awaits you at the Petersham Country Club -- a Donald Ross nine-hole course. Let your hosts know in advance and they'll book you a tee-off time.
