Family Christmas
Amazing House, so much character. More than enough room for large family meals and gatherings. My family really enjoyed it. Having no snow was a disappointment, but we will try again another year. Thank you

There were 16 of us and we had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. The kitchen is small and not well appointed.

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.

Family Reunion
This site was perfect for our family gathering. We love to cook and the kitchen was good size and well appointed with dishes and cookware. The yard was large for games/yoga/evening fire circle. Many places to sit and gather inside the house. Check in was very easy. Communication with property manager during our stay was excellent. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

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.
