Karin's Place VT: Secluded post and beam with private pool, sauna, & playground
Board Member of VTSTRA (Vermont Short Term Rental Alliance)
Are you looking for a private pool, fire pit, sauna, AND a playground!? Are you looking for a more concierge quality of hosting? Look no further. Karin's Place is your home away from home. All the privacy with as much interaction as you need/want or don't.
Events up to 45 people are negotiated per event. We have a separate space on the property.
Some have referred to Jenny as the super. So adding to her already designated titles, Director of Vibes and Chief Memory Officer, she has now adopted "Super Jenny!"
That said, please join us in our guest house called Karin's Place and enjoy our "Gentleman's Farm" of goats, chickens, and freshly planted veggies! We live on site in a separate space and you have as much privacy as you desire with the convenience of instant response if you need anything.
There is something for everyone at Karin’s Place–from the enormous backyard, private pool, fire pit sauna, and a pirate ship playground to enough books and games to last several lifetimes! Lie in a hammock and take in the sun or cross country ski on the 22 acres of land. The leaf peeping is also impossible to beat.
This home is unique and grand. It was conceived by Jenny's father who was a bonafide eccentric. He lived a large life and was truly one-of-a-kind. There is no other home or inn in the area like Karin's Place. The house seamlessly converted into two completely separate spaces, allowing for a living space for us and a retreat space for you while retaining privacy. Our goats, chickens, and ducks look forward to your stay as well.
There are hotels. There are convention centers. There are inns and B&Bs. None have a a pirate ship or a grown-up sized swing and enough books for a lifetime. Our attention to detail and personal investment in your time at Karin's Place makes every visit distinctive and uniquely special.
Karin’s Place is an 8,000 square-foot estate nestled in the woods of Bennington, Vermont. The guest house is the original upgraded house with a separate entrance and a large wooden fence to separate the outdoor space as well. We are far enough off the road for solitude and listening to birds and animals rustling in the woods yet just four miles from the town of Bennington and nine miles from Williamstown, Massachusetts, Karin’s Place is in the middle of nowhere and close to somewhere. She can be your ultimate destination and/or she can be your resting ground after taking in theatre, music, museums, skiing, and more.
The limit is 12 including children all with their own beds. Rent the entire house for 2 days or a couple of weeks. (Discounts for a week or more and we do NOT charge the overage fees for children 2 and under.)
Just come. Why wait? We look forward to meeting you!
As John is an acoustic expert, there is no sound bleed between the living spaces.
A portion of your fee is donated to the Alzheimer's Association in the name of Jenny's mother, Karin.
The base price is for up to 8 people. $45/person/night for additional people. (No additional person charges for children under age 3. The fees are non-negotiable. Again: events up to 45 people are negotiated per event. We have a separate space on the property.

Truly a beautiful property! Exactly as described and exceeded our expectations!

From when the space was first booked all the way up to when we drove off the lot, Jenny was an absolute legend and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Best Thanksgiving Ever!
We have a family tradition of big Thanksgivings, with the extended family now having outgrown even the largest of our homes. Rather than break up the act, we have rented houses for the last couple of years. We are too big for last year's rental but we found Karin's Place. It had everything we needed - including beds for everyone. This house is amazing in so many different ways and is very well-equipped for a crowd - plenty of dishes, glassware, pots and pans, a commercial 6 burner stove top, two large ovens and two refrigerators, with enough counter space to cook up a storm and feed a small army. And great spaces, including a performance space, which we actually used for a performance. Because of the weather we didn't spend much time outside, except for the kids, who loved the playground. The big kids loved the hot tub. Everybody had a great time and loved the house - and there were many conversations about coming here again for other occasions. And Jenny is fabulous! She is very accommodating and totally commited to making her guests comfortable and happy. Could not have asked for more!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm sorry I didn't get to meet the later arrivals but I'm glad I got to meet the bulk of the group. Val and Kit - you were absolutely delightful and I really enjoyed our additional bonding time with both your site visit and your earlier arrival. You two just have the best energy and I'm thrilled that you and your family added it to the warmth of Karin's Place. I do hope to see you again!
Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Jenny Dewar
Jenny and John met in 1991 while performing in Jesus Christ Superstar in Germany. John was in the pit playing his trombone and Jenny was onstage kicking her legs while making eyes at the pit.
Jenny began stage managing in the mid-90s while John continued to play his horn in any number of bands, ensembles, records, and films. They both worked on Broadway for a number of years before deciding it was time to live in the country. (During that time, they managed to get married.)
In 2006, they made a quick and sudden decision to sell their home in Astoria, Queens and see what Vermont living was all about. They never looked back. After Robert and Karin (Jenny’s parents) passed away, Jenny’s father entrusted her to continue his legacy of hosting people from far and wide in his home.
Robert and Karin originally built the house in 1994 as a weekend retreat. They so loved it here that they sold their apartment in New York City, moved up here full time, and then built a massive addition in 2010. Karin was wheelchair bound, so the house was designed for her accessibility. A ramp and no multi-leveling on the first floor make it easy to get around via wheelchair.
In New York, any number of people had keys to their home. It was always full of various guests, rehearsing a musical/operetta, giving a concert, or just hanging out because they had nowhere else to go for Thanksgiving. The addition to Karin’s Place was built in the same vein. Build it and they will come…
The bedrooms are named after light operas that Karin and Robert appeared in together during their lives. They were active in the Village Light Opera Group the entire 30 years they lived in New York City. Their first date was a trip to the opera!
Sadly, both Robert and Karin passed away earlier than they should have. Jenny and John promised that they would continue to keep the house full and busy. Thus, Karin’s Place was born and Jenny and John have been enjoying a variety of guests ever since.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
This property was passed on to Jenny by her parents so that she would save it and keep it full of people.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The beauty of this home is the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere but having arts, culture, and towns just a few miles away. There are unexpected treasures everywhere you turn. It is a home. A grand home, but a home. Everyone is comfortable and all you need to bring is food and your bodies!
