The Red Lion Inn has stood at the corner of Main Street in Stockbridge, Massachusetts since 1773, making it one of New England's longest-continuously operating inns. The property occupies the heart of the village immortalized in Norman Rockwell's painting "Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas" and is managed by Mainstream Hospitality Group. For private events, the inn offers a range of dedicated gathering spaces suited to meetings, dinners, and celebrations of varying scale. The Hitchcock Room, the largest of the private meeting spaces, accommodates up to 96 seated dinner guests and includes an entrance foyer for registration. Smaller rooms — including the Townsend Room, the intimate Plumb Room overlooking the Courtyard, the historically appointed Treadway Room, and the Side Parlor just off the lobby — serve groups from 8 to 48 guests. The flower-filled Courtyard opens seasonally from June through October for outdoor receptions and dining, and the Side Piazza provides a charming porch setting for cocktail receptions. All on-site events are served by the inn's in-house culinary team, whose farm-to-table menus emphasize local Berkshires ingredients. A dedicated Director of Sales guides event planning from first inquiry through the day itself.

Check out the photographs on this page! * This beautiful neo-classical three-story palace, which was completed in 1926, is the product of years of meticulous work. The steel-beam construction mansion, designed by Boston architects Blackhall, Clapp, and Whittemore, was built for Harding Allen, the proprietor of the Chas. G. Allen Co., a drilling and tapping machine firm and iron foundry. The company was established during the American Civil War to manufacture Yankee hay rakes. Approximately 742 individuals were employed by the company at its height of operations. The company has shrunk in size over the years, but it is still in operation. When Harding's wife, Carrie C. Allen, passed away in 1946, the estate was auctioned off, and Dr. and Mrs. Richard Fowler purchased a piece of the land, which included the mansion, for a sum of $1.25 million. Until it was repurchased by Steve Goldsmith, the great-nephew of Harding Allen, in 1972, the property remained in the possession of the Fowler family. After he and his wife Ina died in February 1995, the property was purchased by Alain Beret and James Fairbanks who lived there until the present day. Carmine and Grace Gugliotti, the current owners, purchased the property in February 2004 from the previous owners. The mansion is highlighted by its imposing two-story portico as well as exquisite balustraded porches on three sides. The beautiful internal plaster molding, carved millwork, and marble detail, all executed by professional Italian craftsmen, has been preserved in its entirety on the interior walls. The use of original lighting fixtures is prevalent throughout the space.

Scott has been a chef for the last 18 years and has worked at various restaurants in New York City that have earned a Michelin star. Some of these places include Jean-Georges flagship restaurant on Columbus circle and Charlie Palmer's Aureole. His most recent position was as executive chef at Sutton Inn, where he was awarded two Michelin recommendations, a four-star rating from the Daily News, and was named one of Manhattan's top 10 American restaurants by OpenTable for five years in a row. In 1971, we constructed the first version of this home on property that belonged to the family... I have been a permanent resident of this area ever since that time. In 1989, we completely refurbished the home and expanded on to it in order to turn it into a seven-room inn that is light, clean, and spacious. The structure has always had an expansive covered wrap-around porch on the east and north sides. This porch, combined with the other common spaces and lawns, provides sufficient room for visitors to enjoy an evening of unhurried activity. As a result of our location at the very western tip of the island, we are privy to some of the most breathtaking scenery, panoramas, beach breezes, and sunsets in all of Martha's Vineyard.
