Topia Inn

Unique boutique hotel in beautiful Adams, MA. The holistic eco concept that is applied throughout the hotel is a uniquely satisfying, fulfilling and otherworldly experience. The owner/​hosts are very kind, caring and helpful. The breakfeast is great, there are free bicycle to use and the amenities such as the organic towels and sheet, the unique products and streams baths in every room are fantastic!
Thank you for a great weekend!

The Green Topia Inn has lots of meaning for my husband & I. Without going into to too much detail, it has been a big part of my life looking back, a huge part of my healing journey and we became close with the owners/​caretakers, who are/​were all amazing. The Topia Inn was a life-​saver for us as well as an escape for comfort and beauty. I remember the relief after what I had been through which brought me to tears that such a place existed. And, although it may only be those of us having severe sensitivities who truly understand the depth of this, I think others can appreciate the difference even after just one nights stay of amazing fragrance-​free sleep, their organic breakfast, organic and natural bath products or any other amenities they have. Many say you can’t get the feeling of green and eco-​friendly being downtown in Adams but I have to disagree; I think it makes it all the more historic and eclectic. It’s the only organic chemicaly-​free inn I’ve found who are true to their word, and personally, it’s the only place I can stay in the entire country (which I’ve traveled by car twice). Each room is decorated with such care and beauty that it’s hard to pick a favorite. I highly recommend staying in any of the beautifully done rooms and any season in the Berkshire’s is amazing!

This was such a wonderful experience. I had the privilege of staying at this inn for an entire weekend. The hospitality shown by Karen was topnotch. The complementary organic toiletries and bath items were also carefully selected to meet pretty much any need. I actually wound up purchasing something which I’ll be adding to my current skin care regiment.
The organic breakfast was soooo AWESOME. On the first day Karen made delicious banana lemonade smoothies and banana bread from brown rice flour. On the second day she made poached pears in homemade strawberry preserves and German pancakes with local maple syrup. I’m a very picky eater but still found nothing to complain about. They even provided my sweetener of choice for my morning tea which is something no other inn or bed and breakfast has ever heard of (coconut nectar).
I can’t wait until the next time I make my way out there!

We just returned from a three-​night stay at the Topia Inn, and it was a lovely, comfortable, home base for us to explore the greater Berkshires area. It is more like staying at the home of a good friend than at a hotel; Caryn and Nana are genuinely helpful and enthusiastic about sharing their vast knowledge of the area, but also very laid-​back. The inn is spotlessly clean and modern, having been gut renovated from the ground up with high quality and eco-​friendly materials. Our room did not have a tub but we did have a steam shower which was awesome. The bed and linens were amazingly soft and comfortable. It was great having all shampoo, soap, facial cleanser, moisturizers, etc. provided for us and quite honestly these products are more expensive and work better than our usual stuff so it was a win-​win for us! Free wifi, DirectTV, a nice selection of DVDs, and homecooked breakfast included. Very highly recommended.

Just got back from our weekend in Adams, MA with the ever so welcoming Caryn and Nana. What a delight! Topia is really a gem in the Berkshires. The moment you arrive and take off your shoes, you are introduced to their little oasis. From the complementary organic teas and coffee, to the amazing products available for your use in your room, to the delicious breakfast, there isn’t really a lot more you could ask for from Topia.
First important thing to note is that you aren’t meant to bring ANY of your own toiletries from home. They use only organic and generally fragrance-​free products and want only those things going into their water system. Take this as your opportunity to enjoy the AMAZING things they provide and to pack a little lighter, they really have everything you could want/​need (toothpaste, shaving cream, moisturizer, hair gels, bath salts, deodorant… seriously, you name it they’ve got it).
My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to stay in the Aloha room with its amaaazing floating bed! I was really excited for this and it ended up everything I hoped. Amazingly comfortable and I slept like a rock. Also I want to mention the comforter which I need to find/​buy for myself – it was so fluffy and warm, and amazingly none of the down had shifted. I am not sure how they achieved this, but I’d love to know. Note to the owners: if you guys read this and happen to remember where you got that comforter, I’d still love to know! Our particular room came with a jet tub equipped with color-​changing lights. Fun, large, and pretty deep. The tub also had a shower attachment so showering in the AM was no problem. Our home-​cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious fresh and happily vegetarian :)
Adams isn’t the world’s most exciting city, but the sights nearby (waterfalls, Mt Greylock, Mass MoCA, and the Natural Bridge) are all super cool and we had a great time visiting them all. The sleepy town lends itself well to a relaxing weekend. I’d love to come back in the summer when the mountains aren’t so snowy so we could have a better/​drier hike up. I have nothing negative to say, this was a fantastic experience and I’d love to return! Thank you for a great weekend!

I am jealous I didn’t book the aloha room, so if you are reading this and thinking of staying here, yes it is a little more money per night, but you get to sleep on a suspended/​floating bed! You heard me right! Every room in this beautiful inn is decorated and designed by a different artist chosen by the owners and the Aloha room has a giant hammock like floating bed that sways based on your body movements. We were lucky enough to see this awesome room before the guests checked in, but man was I jealous! I also was jealous that this inn was not really near anything to do, and was on the edge or a more run down part of the city…
We stayed here for two nights and very much enjoyed our stay anyway though. EVERYTHING here is organic and natural, so if that isn’t your thing, this is not the place for you. They also didn’t tell us in advance that we weren’t supposed to be using any of our own products other than the organic products they provide in the rooms for you so that you don’t contaminate the sheets or pillowcases or anything else in the inn. Sounds pretty strict I know, and there is a warning on the door that says they have the right to remove anything that they think may negatively affect the inn as well, but I still wore my make up every day and nothing like that happened to anything of ours while we were there. We did try out all of the organic products though which was an adventure on its own. Not so sure I would use that powdered organic toothpaste again, but it was a new experience!
Their breakfasts are also delicious and come included with your room stay cost. All organic and natural which I definitely appreciate and it is all made fresh since you tell them in advance what time around you are planning to eat which is lovely. Very nice inn keepers that are pretty knowledgeable about the area and definitely want you to have the best stay possible. This is also the first inn I’ve stayed at in a while that didn’t have a bible of any kind in it too. Their natural organic approach meets spirituality and technology with their flat screen tvs and satellite tvs and their keyless door code entry. Oh ya, don’t forget to take your shoes off and put booties on when you come in! Definitely an escape from most people’s everyday lives which is what trips are supposed to be, right?

Spent two nights at Topia recently. Zero complaints, highly recommended. The rooms and indeed the entire building are clean, very tastefully decorated and furnished, and very comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpful but not overbearing in the least. There is an eco– and (to a lesser extent) art-​vibe, and some rules around the former (can’t bring in typical personal care products — consider this a benefit — eco-​versions of anything you could think of are provided, well selected for ones that work — hopefully the Inn is getting at fantastic rates, as they’re doing a good job marketing for the personal care eco-​products industry) but again, not overbearing nor preachy. Convenient to visit nearby art and outdoor destinations (eg MASS Moca and Mount Greylock).

Nana and Caryn, the proprietresses of the Topia Inn, could not have been more accommodating and lovely to our group of six who had traveled to the inn from New York City. Each room has a unique feel, complete with interesting furnishings from around the globe. The steam showers and disco bathtubs in various rooms really add to the charm and relaxation of staying at this unique bed and breakfast. The complimentary earth-​friendly products, items that I admittedly do not use on a daily basis, were fun to try, and it’s a relief to not have to pack shampoo, conditioner, etc., before traveling there. I normally dislike bath gel, but the stuff they have at Topia Inn is fantastic!
A friend and I stayed in what I think is the best room in the place, the Hawaii Room, which features a disco tub and a floating bed (which hangs from the ceiling!). I will never forget the experience of sleeping while suspended in midair. It was divine. The only thing this room is lacking is a cupboard in which to store clothes.
The town of Adams, Mass. is an old mill town, full of dilapitated yet gorgeous rooming houses, with a fair amount of places to eat and drink and shop. If you like thrift stores and delicious diner food, Adams is a place you’ll enjoy exploring. Next door to the inn is a local hang-​out, a bar and grill, which could not be more conveniently located.
