Thank you! With the many rooms for social time and quality time with family, The Winthrop Estate is well set up for milestone birthdays (and other multi-generational gatherings)! From the elegant dining room to the Tornado foosball table, the ping pong room, Lego collection, Rogue rack of weights, Solo stove under the stars and wood- paneled library, everyone has something to enjoy. :-)
Wonderful for our extended family gathering. Interesting opportunity to stay in a home from the Gilded Age, yet one equipped with all the modern conveniences. Jamie was an excellent and very responsive host, who provided great recommendations for local farmstands, kayaking, and bakery. Lots of spots for gathering in large groups, small groups and quiet time away from groups. The property had everything we needed (and then some). The yard was great for the 5-year and the rest of us to play lots of games (many provided with the property).

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Berg
We spent an entire year traveling and visiting 20 countries and shortly thereafter decided to purchase this bucolic spot in the country. We spent the better part of a decade restoring the mansion to be both elegant and comfortable, maintaining the original layout and character of the estate while also seamlessly upgrading the underlying systems.
