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

"Truly a Special Place"
Our stay at Karin's Place was memorable for so many good reasons. The location is quiet and on 26 beautiful acres in Pownal, VT. The property has a lovely heated pool, indoor hot-tub, beautiful garden, pool room and a gazebo, wonderful for reading, relaxing or talking with friends. Jenny, the proprietor was very friendly and welcoming during our stay. The beds were comfortable and the whole place was spotlessly clean. With its sprawling mix of large common areas and private spaces, this would be a perfect place for a corporate retreat or a family reunion. There is even a grand piano, drop down screen and stage for musical performances or watching movies. The outdoor barbecue and fire-pit out back made for wonderful evening meals and gatherings. This is truly a special place with a lot to offer and we look forward to our next visit.

"Worlds Away!"
Our recent stay at Karin's Place was absolutely incredible. Only a short drive from us, we felt like we were worlds away! The property is gorgeous and we had a great time relaxing in the swimming pool, on the deck and in all of the lounge spaces that the home provides. We came up for the annual Garlic Festival which was just a short drive away, and during our stay we also managed to go to some close-by attractions (i.e., Bennington Pottery, the Clark Museum, and Williams College). There are so many breathtaking views in Pownal, we can't wait to go back when the leaves start to change!
