We had a wonderful multi generational, family long weekend at the Plainfield House. The house was spacious and kitchen was well stocked (even with coffee which was a pleasant surprise!). Grounds were beautiful, and we enjoyed a lovely camp fire every night as we had perfect weather. The host was very responsive, and the house was in a great location for lots of hiking. Would highly recommend for families. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Terrific peaceful getaway This was our 2nd visit to this property and once again, it exceeded our expectations. Clean and spacious in a peaceful, quiet setting. Perry is always quick to respond to any of our concerns. No issues with check-in. Home is extreamly comfortable for a group of 7. We will definitely return!

Perfect quiet location with beautiful lake and trail access Perry was awesome and easy to connect with. Beds were all very comfortable and there are 2 large bathrooms easy to share with a big family. Everything is labeled in the house and it makes it so easy to do everything. We will look forward to staying here in the future!

Summer fun The house was in a beautiful location with hiking and swimming nearby. The house was spacious and our family was able to use many of the amenities mentioned. I would caution folks, that the stairs going down to the pond at the back of the property are extremely steep and the dense vegetation at the waterfront made using the water almost impossible. Overall we had a nice time.
