Nice property but not recommended due to the host

Stayed here with a large group of adults and kids for 2 nights in June. The property was large, clean & comfortable & we especially liked the outside area & screened-in porch. Note: 1) the pool is unheated so chilly in the AM, 2) only 1 bathroom is unconnected to a bedroom & 3) two games in the game room require 50 cents per play. Would not recommend staying here due to the high-maintenance host. She requires a 25 minute check-in tour to go over lots of little rules & property quirks. She also required our cell number and interrupted our already brief stay with nags and even tried to add an extra cleaning chore via text only the night before. There was zero flexibility about the 10am checkout while also demanding the property be left in "same or better condition", so we all woke up 7am to tidy up as much as possible, despite the deposit including sizable cleaning fees. Property also has an onerous garbage requirement (rather than being able to leave bags in a shed or garage connected to the house, bags must all be driven to the end of the long driveway on checkout day and if they don't all fit in the bins, extra fees are incurred). Do yourself a favor & book your gathering at a property with a host who actually wants guests to relax and enjoy themselves!

Great weekend away with extended family

Laurie's property was absolutely perfect for our large group of 6 families, including 11 little kids. The playroom upstairs and downstairs are great, as is the outdoor playground, barn and pool. The bedroom layout is a little quirky but easy to manage. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked and easy to cook in. Laurie is very easy and quick to communicate with and helped to answer any questions we had about our trip. Would highly recommend for large groups!

Lovely Home & Great for a Group

We loved our stay over Memorial Day weekend. We were three families and fit well in the home with 6 adults, 8 teens and 1 child. Kids loved the pool (it's on the cool side with no heater). The landscaping on the property is so gorgeous. The home itself is very comfortable with many places to spend time together - our favorite is the screened in porch. The two master suites is neat with each having two bedroom spaces per suite. It would be great with a family who wants to have young children close by at night. Good hiking nearby. Great access to the Berkshires.

Thanksgiving weekend 2023

We had 4 families and grandparents all stay together for an unforgettable weekend at Bellavista. The house had enough space for us to hang out together playing charades in the great room, ping pong tournaments in the finished attic playroom, and making holiday ornaments at the large dining room table. There were also spaces to have quiet moments when you needed it...and we even enjoyed a beautiful hike at a nearby conservation area that Laurie recommended. The house was extremely clean, fully functioning, and well appointed with everything we needed...including making dinner on multiple nights for our large party. The process for booking the house was more than I had ever experienced with rentals at VRBO (listing names and ages of all overnight guests for an insurance policy), but don't be scared off. Laurie is a great host who is very clear at communicating. One thing to note that wasn't in the VRBO posting, but Laurie did communicate before we arrived was the two arcade games require .50 cents to play. The money is donated to a good cause.

Wedding weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at Bellavista estate! The house is very comfortable and well stocked. Laurie does a good job tailoring the set up to your needs. My kids had a blast exploring the huge yard and loved the playground and playroom. It’s very close to amazing restaurants and multiple town main streets. We also had a rehearsal brunch in the barn which was beautiful! It was a pleasure to work with everyone to create a special day. I highly recommend the property for large groups!

Chatham Estate

This house had the most fully stocked kitchen of any house I have rented for any of my summer family reunions in the past . You can cook or bake and everything you will need is there. The pool was a real plus and enjoyed by everyone as my grandchildren were ages 9-22 years. I loved the living room with no giant screen TV so we could read and relax. Plenty of TVs in the rest of the house.

Beautiful home, lots of spaces!

This house was absolutely beautiful and perfectly reflected the listing. All of the bedrooms were quite large and comfortable, easily fitting our three families. The pool was amazing, but we equally loved the different spaces for the kids to play- rec room, arcade, barn, basketball, large yard, etc. Kitchen was stocked very well with dishes/pots/pans/seasonings, plus had plenty of empty cabinets for our groceries. Laurie was extremely helpful and easily reachable. The only down side to the house was that there is only a charcoal grill, no gas/propane- not a deal breaker but less than ideal in such a large house with great amenities (we did ask prior to our visit so we were prepared, and it was not a surprise). Overall one of the best houses we’ve rented over the years!

60th birthday with girlfriends

We had a wonderful 60th celebration with 11 lifelong friends. Our barn party was really fun. The house was enormous and plenty of places to sleep chat and laugh. Laurie was very sweet and helpful all the way up to the weekend with calling and communicating. She followed up with wanting to return items a few of us left. The weather was rainy but didn’t stop the fun or the pool time. I would recommend this place for any family or friend event. Can’t even imagine how fun weddings would be here. Thank you.

Problems with Hist

Property was nice. However, dealing with the host was a nightmare. I had to contact VRBO several times. Problems: my check in time when I booked stayed 3 pm. Host made us do a walk thru at 3:30 with check in time 4:30. I repeatedly asked (many many months earlier) for an early check in. She wouldn’t tell me yes or no until the week of the stay- she could have told me no earlier. Secondly, she told me there would be a Gardner on-site on Saturday (full day of our stay). I asked her to push the Gardner until Sunday as that’s the day we leave. She ignored my request. After calling VRBO, she wrote me an email saying she thought my daughter was being married at the house- COMPLETE LIE as I had to sign an agreement stating only people on the rental agreement could be in the house. She is a horrible host and I don’t know why VRBO would want to work with a host like that. My daughter was getting married this past weekend and these issues needlessly stressed me out!

My family had a wonderful visit to Chatham , NY. The estate had lots of space and rooms for my children and grands. It was so spacious that all of us had enough room to be together or go to a game room. The estate was clean snd well appointed . The instructions regarding the home were received well in advance and were also at the house for further reference . The host greeted me in person and helped give us a tour so we would be able to help the other guests upon arrival . I know the property would be exceptional in the summer months , but the grounds were beautiful in November. It gave us special memories to always remember .

Lovely stay at a beautiful property

We had a wonderful extended family celebration at this beautiful property! The house had plenty of space for our intergenerational group of ten, which ranged in age from 10 to 80. The rec barn and video game room were huge hits with the teens and tweens, and the house also had a lovely first floor suite for older folks who prefer to avoid stairs. Laurie was INCREDIBLY helpful throughout our planning and connected us with a phenomenal private chef for a very special celebratory meal that we enjoyed in the house’s lovely dining room. The weekend couldn’t have gone better!

Charming Private Estate

We loved our stay at this beautiful home, which had more than enough room for our family of 15 (3 generations). The property is gorgeous and very private. We had so much to do between the pool, the basement game room, and the barn. We had gorgeous weather so most of our days were spent at the pool. The kids found the penthouse attic to be a fun hideaway and loved having their own space to play/sleep. Adults had so many places to gather after kids were in bed. The screened in patio area and great room were favorites. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you might need. We had a small issue with the hot water at one point and Laurie had someone out to the property to service it right away. It was fixed within a couple hours! Everything went smoothly, from check-in to check-out. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and recommend this charming home.

Our second visit

I talked about the facilities in last year's review, and I'm happy to say there were actually more things to do this year as more games were added in the barn. The maintenance was excellent with new mattresses, and even some areas of the house previously closed became available. I appreciated some of the appointments this year that set this house apart from others. We had come to expect a random mixture of glassware in vacation houses; here, there is a complete set from wine to parfait, to tumblers and juice of sparkling glasses organized in glass door cabinets. We had a special family meal in the elegant dining room, and we were able to set an inviting table with matching settings. I also appreciate active professional management. We had a minor plumbing issue and texted Laurie. She responded almost immediately and had a plumber at the house the next morning, working around our schedule. This year we explored the area a bit more and found a wonderful collection of trails and wildlife at the William Powell Wildlife Sanctuary.

Wonderful Home for Family Gathering

Our family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay at Bellavista Country Estate. There was plenty of room to spread out and spaces to gather together. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we are a game playing family, and we enjoyed all this home had to offer. The pinball machine was a huge hit, but we also enjoyed ping pong, air hockey, foosball, board games and croquet on the beautiful grounds. Our hostess, Laurie, was always accessible and attentive to detail and all our needs. It was a family getaway in the country that we would recommend to anyone!

So much to do in the area, and if you can find the time, it's a short trip to Saratoga Springs or Cooperstown. We guarantee you won't be bored unless you want to be, and in that case, we'll provide the wine and hammock. Enjoy!!!
