Just what we needed! I felt like a Queen!
I wanted a place within driving distance from NYC and Boston to get my family together to celebrate my grandson. Not only did Reading Farms provide all the privacy described, it provided me with an environment where my family focused on family with no distractions. We cooked most of the time, hiked and had time to bond with one another in a way we hadn't in many years! I can't tell you how much I would recommend staying at Reading Farms. The staff and private chef were a treat!

More than expected.
We just returned from our stay at Reading Farms Estate after a much needed family vacation post covid. We could not have had a more enjoyable experience. The property is so much more than any of the pictures capture. The property manager who shared my husbands name was a delight and so helpful. Our children were expecting bunk beds from previous reviews but once we arrived they searched all 16 rooms and found none. When we asked Arturo he told us the owners decided to take them all out in order to elevate the property. This was a little disappointing to the children but none of the adults were too upset:) We all highly recommend this property it was so much more than we were expecting. We could have stayed a month to keep exploring everything. Thank you Arturo and team for making our first trip together after covid so memorable!

Gorgeous Estate
The 400 acres include groomed lawns, forests, mowed trails. The rooms are lovely and the building is full of books, antiques and interesting art. Arturo, the caretaker, is immediately accessible and very helpful. Homemade cookies were waiting for us but we were on our own to enjoy the walks, pool, hot tub, and well-equipped kitchen. This turned out to be a perfect setting for our family reunion.
