| About Us |
The Inn at Clamber Hill, established in May of 1998, is located on a secluded
33-acre estate in the North Quabbin woodlands of Petersham, MA. This unique
9,600 sq. ft. mansion was built in 1927 by Roger and Caroline Putnam of Springfield
as a summer hide-away. The Inn , with five uniquely decorated quest rooms and a
small restaurant, is owned and operated by Mark and Deni Ellis; both the food and
décor reflect their extensive European traveling experience.

The Inn was a
Yankee Magazine
Editor's Choice selection in 2005!
"A grand Shingle-style eminence tucked in the forested uplands near Quabbin
Resevoir, this property could be mistaken for a celebrity's hideaway in Tahoe, Aspen
or Bar Harbor, complete with stable, eight wood-burning fireplaces, and a handsome
library with big leather armchairs. The four guest rooms are tastefully decorated in
equestrian, Asian, European and nautical themes. Linked to adjacent conservation
land by hiking and cross-country skiing trails, it's a gracious and secluded spot where
you'll see the Milky Way at night and hear songbirds in the morning. Owners Mark and
Deni Ellis extend their hospitality to anyone traveling with dogs too."

Mark & Deni and the Inn celebrated our 10th anniversary on May 28th, 2008. We
have made many changes over the years: going from three guest rooms to five guest
rooms, going from continental breakfast to a full breakfast, adding/renovating our
bathrooms so that everyone has a private bath, adding a restaurant in 2003 so that
our guests would have a nice place to dine, adding WiFi to help people stay
connected, adding a gift shop and more. If you have not stayed with us in a while,
stop back for another visit. We'd love to see you again..
