Reduced Rates for 2019 dates for Beautiful Estate w/ Pool, Pond, Barn & More!

Great. Property shows as in photos. Laurie was extremely responsive and when we realized there was no smoke detector or CO2 detector in the basement, she showed up with them within the hour. Bedroom layout is a bit strange and wish there was more private access to bathrooms and more traditional beds vs sofa beds.

We had a wonderful time at the Bellavista estate! Perfect set-up for a large group of friends or family. Plenty of room for cooking big meals, hanging in the large family room, barn and game rooms . A few of the rooms are adjoining, however you still have plenty of privacy. Would love to come back to this home when it's warm out to take full advantage of the pool, screened in porch etc.

Also Chatham is a super cute town and there are some amazing hiking/walking trails only a few minutes down the road.

What a beautiful place, and lovely experience. The house and property are so beautiful, and Laurie was a wonderful host!

She was flexible and accommodated my special request. I definitely recommend this property and we will return,

Thank You!

We had an amazing week at the Old Chatham property. The house was spacious and the property had tons to do for the kids. It was centrally located - near Hudson valley and also the Massachusetts Berkshires. Between the pool and the barn and the basement and the attic there were lots of places for the kids to hang out. Laurie was extremely responsive and helpful. We would definitely return in the future.

My guests and I were so excited to our stay at this Chatam home, but due to storm in the area we lost power within 3 hours of us arriving for 15 hours. We lost the use all use of utilities offered: AC, stove, internet, running water, flushing toilet, and hundreds of dollars lost in food and water. Our guest had to travel 10 minutes into town to use the restroom. The 5 small flashlights we found barely had any power so we had to buy batteries and candles. I understand weather is out of everyone's control, however the homeowner did not offer any assistance until the next day if we left by 10AM. She also offered discounted rate in the future, but that was not something we were interested in (especially after staying at the house). When a large house like this holds up to 16 adults and all utilities/water run on electric, I would think there should be a generator. If not, at least offer some type of help instead of texting "bummer". The only other suggestion was traveling 10 min. to town but after spending so much money on the house and food, this is not something we planned for. Upon our departure, the homeowner stated several false facts about our stay. She claimed we ignored her texts, however there was no internet/wifi in the house. She claimed “there were numerous bottles and an entire used case of Grey Goose Vodka, which is a lot of alcohol for 12 young women to consume”. She is referring to an empty box in the garbage that we used to carry all the food we brought (that was ruined). Not that we owe explanation, but there was no vodka consumed on the property. She also claimed we “displayed inconsiderate attention to my property items”, claiming we “they burned candles on our table.. they used our dinner place mats, dripping wax all over them, and ruining at least 5 of them”. We used the placemats to protect the wooden table while we ate in the dark around candles we bought. The house was left very clean. Charging us $150 for replacing 5 mats sounds excessive. Regardless of the power outage, the house is outdated. There is no cell phone service – to make a phone call you need to be outside. The Wifi barely worked so you cannot access internet. The outlets in the kitchen and coffee machine did not work. Like a previous review said, most “beds” are pull out couches and the décor is odd. If you plan on using more than 5 garbage bags and two rolls of toilet per bathroom (some bathrooms only had 1.5 roll), bring your own & hope for good weather!
