"The Winthrop is truly as beautiful a property as one could ever imagine. When you step into the Winthrop you step back in time. You expect to turn the corner and find Robert Redford as the Great Gatsby handing you a gin and tonic on the veranda. It is far and away the most impressive property in the area, and we looked at and stayed at many.

It is a meticulously restored late 19th early 20th century mansion. It possesses all the best qualities of both a private home and an Inn combined, and it is easily on par with any world-class 5-star establishment. But, by its design, it is a home (not an Inn or Hotel) and that is what makes it so tremendously unique and so wonderful. When you host an event at the Winthrop you feel, and your guests feel, like the event is taking place right in your own home (assuming that you lived in a giant mansion). It is a very different feeling than taking over an Inn for the weekend, and we could not possibly recommend the experience more highly.

But, perhaps more impressive than the splendor of the property is the attentiveness and capabilities of the owners and their team. Jamie and her team were coordinating the arrival and departure of our vendors, stocking the fridge with food, putting flowers in rooms, keeping the premises spotless; the list goes on and on. From our experience, we would say that when you rent the Winthrop you are getting much more than simply a gorgeous property, you are getting a five-star team as part of the deal! The Bergs were wonderful to work with and the property is stunning. We are already trying to figure out a reason to return!"
