Wonderful property - bedrooms were great and heat worked well for a very cold weekend stay! Great house for a large group - appreciate the large spaces to hang out as a group - from the huge dining room table to the large living room on the third floor. Plenty of space to be together as well as be alone from the group. House itself is beautiful and great overall stay!

It was good but a little disappointing in the lake. Entry to the lake was not good for the eight-year-old and the 11-year-old . I guess I didn’t realize that when I booked it the house was great. The area was great.

Lovely House! What a gem!

Did a ski weekend with a bunch of friends, the house was perfect, the character of the place and unique styling of each room was super fun, the hot tub was actually HOT, which was impressive for how cold it was outside. The house used to be an old bed and breakfast and it lends itself beautifully to being a VRBO for a large group. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back and rent again!

Ski weekend

Had a fantastic weekend with a group of 16! The teenagers claimed the upstairs, allowing the adults to relax in the main rooms and kitchen. The beds were cozy, and the bathrooms were spotless, which was a nice bonus since each family had their own. The kitchen is a bit small but has everything we needed. Enjoying the hot tub after a long day of skiing was the highlight! It was the perfect getaway for our group. Thank you Chris!

Incredible house

This property is stunning. It fit our group of 14 perfectly. There are so many unique details and beautiful furniture. The kitchen was well-stocked for pots/pans/utensils/cleaning supplies which I always appreciate - makes group meals so much easier to manage. Quiet area, would be great all year round depending on what activities you like. Hot tub was a major highlight!

BEST WEDDING SPOT EVER

We stayed at Chris' mansion for my wedding this past weekend and it was everything I expected and more. Although it isn't a full service venue, the owner Chris was sooooo helpful in getting everything we needed for our wedding. He owns a restaurant as well and was able to provide all of our appetizers, servers and bartenders! We even had our rehearsal dinner at his bar down the street called Jax on Tap. The bartenders were absolutely amazing and made us feel so welcome. They even made a sign for me and made specialty shots for us all. Shout out to Kim! <3 The house is gorgeous and spacious and filled with amenities. The yard is so spacious as well and we were able to fit a wedding of over 100 people. The grounds were beautifully kept and I couldn't have asked for more! We can't wait to stay here in the future or another one of Chris' properties. <3 Thank you, Chris!!!

Spacious and Fun

We had a great time. The house had so much room for our huge family. We felt spoiled that each family had their own bathroom. The lake was lovely for floating and kayaking. Over all we really enjoyed our stay and were thankful for the indoor space when it rained the last day. Only complaint is that the septic area was smelly.

Family reunion at lovely mansion property

Very lovely stay at this mansion. The owners appear to really care about this property and have taken great care of this historic home. We had a family reunion of roughly fifteen people coming and going all week. No real major issues. We loves the spillway area and ability to kayak on the lake across the street. Just a really great week and experience. Thank you!

Comfortable Convenient Clean and Full of Character

The house is beautifully furnished. It was impeccable. Themed antiques and decorations adorn the house. The Sawyer Mansion was perfect for our group of 12 and we had a memorable stay. The house was by far our favorite in the past 5 years. Having private bathrooms for each bedroom was convenient. The dining room comfortably fit our group for meals. The jacuzzi was clean and we used the Weber grill during our stay. The house is conveniently located as wel took day trips to Bennington, Brattleboro and Manchester as well as local villages. The house is full of character and we would definitely come here again.

Yearly weekend away with dear friends

The property needs some love. Furnishings were very unique but uncomfortable. Seems like too much clutter. Was disappointed in the fact we were told not to wear shoes in the house and a note asking for tip money for the cleaning people. We went kayaking and one of the kayaks had two holes that caused water to enter. Very dangerous and scary situation to say the least. All showers taken were lukewarm at best. My husband and I stayed in the Italy room and bath was clogged. Water filled up over our ankles. Would love to come back and stay after improvements are made. Great area for fishing, hiking and enjoying time with friends.

August Family Vacation

While the house was big enough to hold our family of 13, there were too many "little things" that were below standard. The hot water was luke warm at best, mostly cold. The outside dumpster was insecure and raided 3 times by bears that we cleaned up. There was no propane for the Weber grill. There is not one comfortable chair in the entire house, all old with the comfort worn out. It was very difficult getting into the cayaks given the location of the pontoon boat. The pontoon boat was unkempt and dirty surrounded by lily pads, make swimming for our grandchildren impossible. I would recommend that the owners make the appropriate upgrades as this rental was not worth the money I paid. The hot tub water was uncared for and lacked the proper chemicals needed for safe use. PS Have no idea what the review stars I checked were for as checking was required to submit this review and there was no indication of what the stars were related to. Ignore the "checked stars" of my review.

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

I dont typically leave reviews. However, this was a weekend unlike any other. The house was very easy to find. Its a big place, with a lot of character and plenty of room for everyone.The middle floor seemed to be the place for all of the adults. 5 suites on the middle floor. 1 suite on the main floor. The top floor was perfect for the kids. (Bring a gaming console. The tv is huge and the kids had a blast up there.) We enjoyed the hot tub, and the fire pit at night. There is a very spacious yard. We were able to fit a 30x45 tent, and have a separate ceremony area. And there was plenty of parking. We had the bakery down the road cater. (North River Bakery) HIGHLY recommend it. Shelly (the owner) does a fantastic job. We also got to enjoy the lake. A friend was able to bring his bass boat over to the launch and park it at the dock. That was a nice touch. There are also kayaks that Chris has available for guest use. Chris was a gracious host and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and a great stay. Best wedding weekend ever. Seriously. No one wanted to leave.

This property is a wonderful place for a large group. There is plenty of room to "escape" your family if need be as well! Six Master Bedrooms have their own full baths. Third floor playroom has plenty of room to stretch out and watch the big screen TV! The land is beautiful. We were up in the winter, had 20 inches of snow the second day of our stay, and the property manager was right on top of keeping us plowed while we were there. Kitchen is filled with anything necessary to keep everyone well fed. Very warm and cozy home filled with much history. Closest town with shops, restaurants, etc. is about 15 minutes away. We will definitely be back again and wish to thank our host and property manager for making our stay so comfortable and memorable.

Great Lakeside Mansion

The house was great and perfect for our family get together we hosted there! The surrounding area is gorgeous and the house is huge and well furnished. Had some fun kayaking on the lake, relaxing in the hot tub, and just running around in the yard with the little ones. We had a minor issue with hot water the first morning that Chris quickly addressed, other than that everything went smoothly. Thanks again Chris!
