Karin's Place: A Retreat

Are you looking for a PRIVATE pool, hot tub that holds 8, sauna, AND a playground!? Join us in our guest house at 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, hot tub, sauna, and a pirate ship playground to enough books and games to last several lifetimes! 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 in a sandbox, a Quidditch Pitch, and a grown-up sized swing. 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.
