Amazing stay. The property really dazzled us with its features for both kids and adults, and we wish we had a week to stay and truly enjoy it all. Jenny, the host, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and really seemed to care that we had an excellent time. Hope to come back in the future!

Thank you so much! I am so glad this group chose Karin’s Place. Nothing warms my heart more that squeals of delight from children when they are going full tilt at Karin’s Place. They didn’t even watch movies because they were so eager to do everything else including putting on a show for the grownup kids. I have the best job in the world!

Soul satisfying long weekend

Our stay at Karin's place was a wonderful weekend retreat. Jenny is super responsive, and a very gracious host to us. She met us to give us a tour, and our whole party couldn't help but to be inspired by the charm of this house. The favorite was the ballroom where the kids created and put on a play. The weather was perfect to enjoy countless hours at the pool, and plenty of pots/pans, and beds to keep us fed and comfy. I would highly recommend this house for large groups.

It was my pleasure to host this group! I can't wait to watch the videos they lovingly shared of the kids' show. I actually have a little time today to do so. I was so charmed by all the kids and especially my young new soul-mate who is going to be a star in one way or another. The parents were pretty great too. :-)

Wonderful home, wonderful owner

we spent a long weekend here for a college reunion and had an amazing time. The house is perfect for a large gathering -- plenty of beds/bedrooms, lots of space to spread out, great entertainment options -- from a pool room to a small den off the kitchen to an amazing great room complete with the largest screen on which we've ever watched a basketball game! Jenny took care of us from start to finish, ensuring we had everything we needed and was always available for any quick question. a perfect getaway...

Excellent Choice

Karin's place was a great choice to house a group of friends and their respective families for a great Berkshire fall weekend. We used every bedroom and took full advantage of the services offered to us (grocery shopping & meal preparation). The "great" room was a perfect place to stick a bunch of infants & toddlers who loved watching the Lion King repeatedly on the massive projection screen. We're all looking forward to making this our go-to vacation spot for an annual fall weekend getaway.

Thank you for your happy thoughts!! Once again, another amazing group at Karin's Place. We have been so fortunate to have so many positive and wonderful people pass through. I especially appreciate the young mom who didn't flinch when I went right for her new baby and handed him over full of trust! Knowing there were a handful of expecting parents with this group, I am delighted they plan to return with an even larger crowd!

A great week

A wonderful house and property for 18 of us: 10 adults and 8 grandchildren! A spacious house will wonderful common areas as well as private areas for quiet. We spent most of our time on the deck and in the pool; the land-based pirate ship with swings was also a hit as was the hot tub and sauna. The well-equipped kitchen was awesome! A special shout-out to host Jenny for making us feel welcome and for letting us be part of the world created by her parents. Demetrius further added to the enjoyment of Karin’s Place!

Karin's Place was the perfect place for our family vacation

My extended family, ranging in age from 8 to 84, stayed at Karin's Place and had an amazing stay. The home was absolutely perfect. It's spacious, spotless and comfortable. There are beautiful views from the deck and every window. You’ll have your own pool, hot tub, and sauna. The kitchen is well stocked and we had a great time cooking big meals together. The home is very private and quiet, but you're a quick drive to shops and restaurants in Bennington. And for art lovers, the home is a 20 min drive to Mass MOCA and the Clarke Museum. There are plenty of places for outdoor sports like hiking and biking and my kids and their cousins found a local swimming hole. Jenny was the perfect host. He made us feel welcome and filled us in on lots of information about the area. I highly recommend Karin's Place and hope to stay again in the future.

Board Game Cabin Success

Karin's place was warm and friendly despite being the largest house I've ever rented. The Host, Jenny, was very attentive and gave a full tour to our first arrivals. She text checked in once during out long weekend stay. We had 20 adults and 3 kids and all the accompanying dogs to go along with us. One bedroom was directly next to the TV room and only really a nook surrounded by privacy screens. That couple had to move, but there was plenty of space for them to do so. While staying here there are pamphlets and business cards for all sorts of entertainment in the area, we didn't use any but I could see them being a benefit. Would love to stay at Karin's place again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Karin's Place is a wonderful retreat for a large family. We spent the memorial day weekend here and this place is awesome. We had several age groups in our party and I must say that there is something for all age groups in here. A play area for toddlers, a great lawn for young kids and private and relaxing suites for adults to enjoy some quiet time. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and did not leave the place. The large central room with a projector was ideal for movie nights and kids had a lot of fun with it. Finally, the host , jenny is awesome. She gave a complete walkthrough of the place and gave great information about the place. The house is full of treasures and I had a joke that I would give her a list of Ten things that I could not find in the house. I am happy to say that my list was empty at the end of our stay. Will be back here again.

Thank you so much for your very kind words! I loved your family. The entire clan jumping for photos at the end of the stay was almost as big a highlight as your son letting me pick him up within 5 minutes to visit the pirate ship. I look forward to your return. The energy in the house is wonderful post your visit! Fondly, Jenny

Great stay for wide range of ages!

We stayed at Karin’s Place for 3 nights in late May. There were 11 of us, including three teenagers, three parents in their 50’s and five grandparents in their 80’s. The place fit us well. It was just as advertised. We used the hot tub, sauna, gas grill, and a bunch of appliances, and everything worked great. Plenty of sheets and towels. The porch is large and gets a nice breeze around the pool area. Very comfortable! Jenny was there to meet us, and was helpful and friendly. We did not see her at all after that, though she texted the next day to make sure we had everything we needed. The dirt road leading up the hill to the house took some getting used to, but the scenery along the road (orchards, mountains, the occasional goat) was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay!

Truly Perfect

Jenny is one of the best hosts I’ve had, and I’ve stayed at quite a few places. She greets you upon arrival and gives you the overview and then leaves you to your stay. She’s very communicative to make sure she answers your questions and to make sure your stay is as effortless as possible. The house had everything we needed plus some and was a great way to unwind at the end of the year and so connect from the world and just be with friends! 45 minute drive to Mount Snow and probably a few more minutes to Stratton. The town of Bennington is so quaint and quiet, and just feels so homey with all of the Christmas decorations up. The only thing the house didn’t have was a washer/dryer but not going to take off stars for that—could have easily enjoyed the town of Bennington and brought laundry there and spent a day exploring. Would recommend 1000x over to my friends and may even be booking for next NYE. Can’t thank you enough, Jenny!

A destination in itself

KP' came through for us, in all aspects. Location, Amenities, Service, Cleanliness, the whole 9 yards. We were a party of 14, 4 families with 8 adults and 6 kids. Each of us had our private rooms and kids had multiple dormitory settings to pick from (which they thoroughly enjoyed). Billiards room, movie theater, fire pit (with propane), fire pit (in the woods), trails on property, a pirate ship were just some of the amenities we indulged in. While there was a pool and a hot tub, we just couldn't get to it, with so much else to do around the place. Morning and evening walks around the property with great views were another highlight of the trip for us. The owner also set us up with a private chef, who prepared a 6 course dinner for us and it frankly blew our mind. We could see ourselves coming back for just another meal with Sarah! All in all a great trip for us and we certainly can see ourselves wanting to come back...

Perfect Host!

We recently came back from our annual winter trip and I'm so glad we booked with Jenny. We have booked many homes throughout the years and she is by far our favorite host. She was so accommodating in terms of check in/check out times, super responsive to all of my questions and she is just crazy thoughtful. We all loved the personal touch of having brand new ear plugs, eye masks, and slippers supplied in each room. It really felt like we were at a resort! She even provided firewood and a starter log for each night of our stay. The house is spacious and very well kept. Each room has a lovely story and decor to match.The kitchen appliance are top of the line, and the flat top griddle in the middle was a huge hit with our group. The most impressive part of the house is the ballroom that has a full sized movie screen. It will certainly be hard to watch movies on a normal TV after this trip. I can't imagine any group ever running out of things to do. We were still discovering the house all the way into the last hour of our stay! I would highly recommend booking this home for your next group getaway. You won't regret it.

As usual, I give my thanks for this lovely review! My favorite thing was this guest asking for photos of the bathrooms to make sure it wasn't too rustic. She laughed when she arrived seeing that outhouses were not a part of their getaway weekend. It makes me so happy to see Karin's Place so loved and lived in.
