A Vermont Retreat

Karin’s Place: A Retreat

There is something for everyone at Karin's Place-from the peaceful and tranquil gardens, gazebo and pool while the kids play on the pirate ship to a full-size movie screen with surround sound and 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.

The idea is imagination. Karin's Place is a home. You can have your company/corporate meetings in the Grand Room while having your down time in the spa. You can have your family reunion or Big Chill weekend with your 20 favorite family members and friends. The Grand Room is also perfect for yoga, meditation, music making, and performances. Host an organized residency or retreat of any kind!

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.

There are hotels. There are convention centers. There are inns and B&Bs. 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 home nestled in the woods of Bennington, Vermont on 22 acres of land. 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 full house sleeps up to 20 in beds with seven bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and 5 1/2 baths. It includes the adult/child playroom with big screen and billiards table. The grand ballroom is available to our guests for an event with additional fees. The minimum stay is two nights. The maximum stay is two weeks.

Retreats automatically include the grand ballroom.

You can also rent the South Wing only. This has three bedrooms, the sleeping loft, 2 full baths, and the handicapped accessible shower. The South Wing include the spa room, the pool, the outdoor space, and the kitchen. It sleeps up to 12 people.

Just come. Why wait? We look forward to meeting you!
Our office is on site but Jenny and John live in their own home two miles away.

Testimonials

"...Gorgeous and Serene"
Our stay at Karin's Place was extremely relaxing. Our room was spacious and our beds were comfortable. We had full access to the kitchen and other facilities in the house, and had plenty of space to unwind. The backyard is gorgeous and serene. We will definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to others who are looking for a tranquil, quiet place to stay that has all the comforts of home.

Renew Wedding Vows
Karin' Place - what a truly special discovery. One of those random things that seems to have been meant to be. My husband and I had been looking for a venue to host the renewal of our wedding vows where our guests could stay with us. A friend of mine suggested Karin's Place and it was perfect. We received spectacular customer service from Jenny and John in advance of our arrival. We live in Ireland and consequently had significant needs as we were able to do very little from so far away.

We had the ceremony on the deck overlooking the expanse of lawn fringed by woodland. We had the meal in the patio surrounded by landscaped gardens, the pirate ship playground, and various nooks for intimate chats. And in the background we could hear the delighted yelps and laughter of kids in the pool. Absolute bliss. When a dramatic summer thunder storm arrived just after the meal, everyone filed into the Grand Room and the party established itself in there with dancing and music.

I cannot recommend Karin's Place highly enough. It's a deeply romantic and inspiring location. Enhanced greatly by the creativity and innovation shown by Jenny and John.
