About this house rental

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! The main thing that made our stay so amazing though, more so than the property itself, was Jenny assisting us throughout the process. 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! Thank you and we can’t wait to go back!!

Jenny was great and responsive. The kids had a blast in the playground, and overall, we had a really good time.

Autumn in New England is the best season and a group of our friends (12 people) wanted to go to Vermont to see the foliage. We couldn’t find a more perfect place than Karin's place. It’s conveniently located only 4 miles away from Bennington and yet it’s right in the countryside where the beautiful autumn color is only a short walk away. The farm next to the house in the south has an amazing view of the mountains at sunrise and the drive to Bennington offered plenty of opportunities to see foliage along the road. The foliage along the road was actually better than several places we visited in Vermont.The house is huge and clean. We especially loved the ballroom with a stage, screen and sound system. We held a memorable reunion celebration with dancing, singing and slideshow. It’s a blast! The host Jenny quickly responded to several of my questions prior to the booking and the trip. She personally greeted us when we arrived. On the third day of our stay, the house lost power due to a strong thunderstorm. Jenny was very responsive and offered to come to the house for re-starting the generator.This is an ideal place for holding a large family gathering, a class reunion or celebration. I highly recommend it!
