Several friends from around the northeast chose this home as a central location for an annual meet-up. We had dinner out in neighboring Amenia, NY (several nice restaurants there!). The property owner was very responsive and accommodating and the home was very clean and met all our needs. Plus the views out of the picture windows facing west are beautiful! I would definitely go back again.

Though outdated house and in need of some tender loving care this was a wonderful place to say for the view, the walks, and the surroundings nearby!

This is probably the most reasonably priced house I’ve ever stayed in — taking into account size of house, view, amenities and location. View is remarkable for this area. Plenty of room, extremely quiet. It’s at the beginning of a mile-long dirt road perfect for morning walks, and trails starting at the end. Kitchen is very serviceable, not professional grade but more than adequate. Beds very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Thee Ellsworth Manor
Having grown up just a few miles South of the location, I was no stranger to the views afforded from the Berkshire mountains. I have to say, though, that the panorama from the back of the house was beyond all expectations. Had a remarkable view of the Berkshires and the Catskills (some 40 miles away). Sunsets were spectacular, the house was gorgeous, and the host (Gary) was not only helpful, but an absolute joy to spend time with. I highly recommend this place as a destination.

House on top of a hill
Arriving late at night was spooky, but the amazing surprise of dawn with 360 degree views made it more than worth the sketchy cellphone coverage and doubts as to how to access the property.
In fact the owner was waiting for us and helped us navigate the icy driveway. Decor of this house is very much 1980s rustic, but that adds to the countryside feel less than 2 h from Manhattan. The local store was also a pleasant surprise - lots of Asian goods and high quality in general. Better than your average bodega.
Altogether a very pleasant stopover.

My wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in New England and spent one night here in Sharon, CT. The house was perfect, clean, comfortable and the views are amazing. Situated on the top of the mountain you can see for miles in all directions. Gary is the consummate host assisting us with forgot items and giving us a history of the property. We look forward to coming back soon and enjoying this house and area again soon.

A wonderful getaway in Connecticut
The views from the top of the mountain were beautiful. The house was very inviting and homey. Everywhere you looked was art and pieces of history. The sunroom was a relaxing place to sit and take in the views. We enjoyed visiting with the owner, Gary. His stories added to our experience here and meeting the race horse he trained was a bonus. Consider this property for your next getaway. We're glad we did!

My husband and I stayed at this house to attend a wedding. This house could have easily accommodated 6 people in bedrooms. The location and the land it sits on is absolutely magnificent. We wished we could have stayed longer and just hiked around the area. I highly recommend staying at Gary’s house. Five stars all the way!

Magical Property Close to Mohawk Mountain
We had an excellent experience renting this property. Our family of four (2 adults + 2 kids) stayed for a long wknd, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The house is nestled atop, arguably, the most scenic spot in CT. We enjoyed visiting the homing pigeons, chickens, and horses on the property. Gary was very generous with his time, and had great stories about the property and it’s history. He allowed our kids to bring the horses carrots - a huge hit! We also skied two days at Mohawk - a great mountain for beginners, and just a few minutes away. We look forward to returning to the property again soon!

Such a Beautiful Property!
Thee Ellsworth Manor is truly an estate with stunning 360 degree views. We enjoyed going for walks on the property which looks like a national park. The house is elegant and we felt right at home.

Incredible location
Pros: stunning views, spectacular grounds,
Privacy, space in the house, good hiking around.
Cons: cleanliness in the house, fireplaces don’t work, cold upstairs in the later months.
Overall: stay here during the warmer months and youll love the experience. Our own fault for coming in the winter when we couldn’t enjoy hiking around as much and the upstairs rooms were cold. It did warm up but we had to turn up the heat quite a bit and use a provided plug-in heater at night. The house has everything you’d need in terms of amenities and has great views but could definitely use some decor updating and deep cleaning.
