The estate was everything and more than we expected. OMG the sunsets were so beautiful! I can’t say enough about how good we were treated. We will certainly do this again!
I wanted a place within driving distance from NYC and Boston to get my family together to celebrate my grandson. Not only did Reading Farms provide all the privacy described, it provided me with an environment where my family focused on family with no distractions. We cooked most of the time, hiked and had time to bond with one another in a way we hadn't in many years! I can't tell you how much I would recommend staying at Reading Farms. The staff and private chef were a treat!
We just returned from our stay at Reading Farms Estate after a much needed family vacation post covid. We could not have had a more enjoyable experience. The property is so much more than any of the pictures capture. The property manager who shared my husbands name was a delight and so helpful. Our children were expecting bunk beds from previous reviews but once we arrived they searched all 16 rooms and found none. When we asked Arturo he told us the owners decided to take them all out in order to elevate the property. This was a little disappointing to the children but none of the adults were too upset:) We all highly recommend this property it was so much more than we were expecting. We could have stayed a month to keep exploring everything. Thank you Arturo and team for making our first trip together after covid so memorable!
The property, staff, and location are all phenomenal! I could not recommend this more!!!
The 400 acres include groomed lawns, forests, mowed trails. The rooms are lovely and the building is full of books, antiques and interesting art. Arturo, the caretaker, is immediately accessible and very helpful. Homemade cookies were waiting for us but we were on our own to enjoy the walks, pool, hot tub, and well-equipped kitchen. This turned out to be a perfect setting for our family reunion.
This property is highly impressive! From the monogramed towels to the super soft sheets and AMAZING beds. The staff on the property was respectful and attentive to all our needs. We had the chef prepare one of our meals which was the highlight of the trip truly skilled! The area around the estate is full of culture and the town or Woodstock is a perfect New England town. Do yourself a favor and indulge yourself at a very luxurious property. Thank you Reading Farms I hope to return soon!
This is a long overdue review and, to be honest, no amount of fawning will ever be enough for this one of a kind estate. My wife and I held our wedding and next day festivities at Reading Farms Estate and we could not have been any happier. Honestly no pictures are vivid enough to capture the sheer elegance of Reading Farms Estate or its truly private nature. As so many of the reviewers have pointed out, Reading Farms Estate is a portal to another place and time. Old world elegance and charm come to mind but it is so much more. The main house is an art and food lovers dream, housing not only an impressive and what I can only assume generations long collection of thoughtfully curated paintings, sculptures and prints; but also boasts a the single best kitchen of any house I have ever seen. All this and a choice of pool or pond for swimming, a theatre and well equipped gym, a well stocked library and enough room for 20 adults to spread out and enjoy silence. Throughout the entire planning process, Stacy was not only professional, prompt and knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and insightful. He’s knows every inch, nook and cranny of Reading Farms Estate and was the perfect guide to assist us every step of the way. Answering all of our many questions, co-ordinating with our planners and encouraging us to think outside the box and really personalize our wedding. His property manager, Matt, is also a tremendous help and is one of the most true and genuine persons I have ever met. My wife and I are both so happy and thrilled with our stay, our festivities and our wedding at Reading Farms Estate. Stacy and Reading Farms Estate provided us with memories we never thought possible and neither of us can express just how warmly we and our guests were received nor can we ever say enough about this truly special and unique place.
Our large group of friends and family just left Reading Farms and no one in the group was disappointed . The estate had more than enough room for all of us to spread out and enjoy intimate conversations and then regroup for dinner as a whole. The bedding was A+ and so comfortable most of us slept in for the first time in months. The staff was gracious and so pleasant . The chef prepared an amazing meal upon our arrival and was so worth it. If you are thinking about Vermont do not pass this place up it was truly a one of a kind stay! Thank you all so much we will be back again next winter. -The Monroe group
Well. Based on the website, my expectations were high – – but always guarded-- and my interaction with the owners prior to renting The Farm was probably guarded on their part as well. I now know why. The approach, the property entrance, the care and attention to detail, and the lovely little touches, all added to what I can confidently say was a superlative property and experience for everyone. Our gathering was a family get together of 20 people, spanning many ages. All loved the place and were wowed by the lovely grounds, stewardship by the owners, and surprises around every corner. For example, the ponds were stocked with fish that the little ones loved feeding. The bedrooms were made up with luxury touches all around, and the movie theater had massage chairs. The gazebo had a fun hot tub. And all was overseen with a high degree of care and attention of the owners and caretakers. The rooms and common areas were immaculate. When the grill ran out of propane, a replacement was on site in minutes. (don't miss the bonfire with their Smore's and fun surprises – – not to be missed and you can't duplicate what they do, and their surprises, with a trip to the local grocery store, so go with their package). It's hard to summarize the experience we had, as there is something akin to good karma that pervades The Farm, as described frequently by Stacy. The best evidence of the fun everyone in the family had is that each have asked me when we can go again. And we will. Not to be missed. A bargain for what you get. A carefully curated property evidenced by loving ownership. A beautiful property that will not disappoint, cared for by lovely people who know what to do.

The photos on the website in no way prepare one for the drive up to the grand old manor house. The grounds are immaculate, and the house is so interesting, and comfortable. You need a week to discover all the hidden wonders on the property. Unfortunately, we only had four days, so we will have to go back.
