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.

She made us feel right at home and ensured that every aspect of our stay was perfect.The property itself is absolutely lovely and incredibly private. Surrounded by nature, it offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere that is simply unmatched. Whether you're planning a family vacation or a getaway with a group of friends, Karin's Place is the perfect destination. We had so much fun and relaxation during our stay, and it truly felt like a home away from home.From the well-maintained facilities to the thoughtful amenities, every detail at Karin's Place is designed to cater to your comfort and enjoyment.

    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!!

    Fabulous place. Kids loved the layout, as well as the pool and jacuzzi. Nice hiking options nearby. Jenny was very responsive and had great suggestions for things to do, places to eat, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

    We had a great time for my sister’s bachelorette. Lots of privacy and Jenny is easy to reach if you need her. Great property with a sweet story as well.

    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!

    This was a beautiful place and experience. We did not have to leave the entire weekend, and when we did, Jenny had incredible recommendations. I could not recommend this property enough.
