Summary: What a lovely property. Laurie was so kind and helpful checking us in, and the house was so fun. Would absolutely stay here again.

Summary: We had an incredible stay at this property! The house was just as described—clean, spacious, and extremely well kept. It easily accommodated our group of 11 adults without ever feeling crowded. Every room was thoughtfully prepared, and all the amenities were in great condition.What really made our stay exceptional was the host. Communication was prompt, clear, and genuinely welcoming from the very beginning. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and helped us arrange for a private chef for Saturday night. Was a very comfortable and memorable stay. Laurie even brought us a basketball after discovering one on site was deflated - just excellent service. Highly recommend!

Summary: Stayed here with a large group of adults and kids for 2 nights in June. The property was large, clean & comfortable & we especially liked the outside area & screened-in porch. Note: 1) the pool is unheated so chilly in the AM, 2) only 1 bathroom is unconnected to a bedroom & 3) two games in the game room require 50 cents per play. Would not recommend staying here due to the high-maintenance host. She requires a 25 minute check-in tour to go over lots of little rules & property quirks. She also required our cell number and interrupted our already brief stay with nags and even tried to add an extra cleaning chore via text only the night before. There was zero flexibility about the 10am checkout while also demanding the property be left in "same or better condition", so we all woke up 7am to tidy up as much as possible, despite the deposit including sizable cleaning fees. Property also has an onerous garbage requirement (rather than being able to leave bags in a shed or garage connected to the house, bags must all be driven to the end of the long driveway on checkout day and if they don't all fit in the bins, extra fees are incurred). Do yourself a favor & book your gathering at a property with a host who actually wants guests to relax and enjoy themselves!

Summary: Laurie's property was absolutely perfect for our large group of 6 families, including 11 little kids. The playroom upstairs and downstairs are great, as is the outdoor playground, barn and pool. The bedroom layout is a little quirky but easy to manage. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked and easy to cook in. Laurie is very easy and quick to communicate with and helped to answer any questions we had about our trip. Would highly recommend for large groups!

Summary: We loved our stay over Memorial Day weekend. We were three families and fit well in the home with 6 adults, 8 teens and 1 child. Kids loved the pool (it's on the cool side with no heater). The landscaping on the property is so gorgeous. The home itself is very comfortable with many places to spend time together - our favorite is the screened in porch. The two master suites is neat with each having two bedroom spaces per suite. It would be great with a family who wants to have young children close by at night. Good hiking nearby. Great access to the Berkshires.

Summary: We had 4 families and grandparents all stay together for an unforgettable weekend at Bellavista. The house had enough space for us to hang out together playing charades in the great room, ping pong tournaments in the finished attic playroom, and making holiday ornaments at the large dining room table. There were also spaces to have quiet moments when you needed it...and we even enjoyed a beautiful hike at a nearby conservation area that Laurie recommended. The house was extremely clean, fully functioning, and well appointed with everything we needed...including making dinner on multiple nights for our large party. The process for booking the house was more than I had ever experienced with rentals at VRBO (listing names and ages of all overnight guests for an insurance policy), but don't be scared off. Laurie is a great host who is very clear at communicating. One thing to note that wasn't in the VRBO posting, but Laurie did communicate before we arrived was the two arcade games require .50 cents to play. The money is donated to a good cause.

Summary: We had a wonderful weekend at Bellavista estate! The house is very comfortable and well stocked. Laurie does a good job tailoring the set up to your needs. My kids had a blast exploring the huge yard and loved the playground and playroom. It’s very close to amazing restaurants and multiple town main streets. We also had a rehearsal brunch in the barn which was beautiful! It was a pleasure to work with everyone to create a special day. I highly recommend the property for large groups!
