About the host
Hosted by Laurie Sherman Graff
Greetings!
I'm Laurie!
For the past nearly 15 years, I have been running a small, high profile non profit in New York City that helps children in foster care find adoptive families. We have also worked to empower and better the lives of homeless individuals.
I love to travel, and have been fortunate to have traveled extensively and lived in Europe for 10 years, primarily in Italy.
I appreciate the beauty of the Berkshires & Hudson River Valley, and am happy to share this lovely part of the world with our guests.
Please know that when you visit the Berkshire Country Estate, I am available to answer any questions and offer suggestions for "must sees" in the area.

Why they chose this property
This is a very special elegant, yet comfortable home. It's completely private in a country setting with a 10 acre front lawn and a total of 60 acres to explore, yet it is minutes from excellent restaurants, world renowned cultural destinations and convenient supermarkets.
We are three destinations in one, equal distance to the Hudson River Valley, the Berkshires in Massachusetts and the Capital Region in Albany!
A beautiful retreat which offers privacy for house-guests, but multiple common areas for group gatherings, Bellavista Country Estate will fulfill your need for a special and memorable getaway, only a little over 2 hours from New York City or Boston. We are happy to help you create your special memory with referrals to private chefs, photographers etc.
I fell in love with the beauty of the property, the stately, yet warm presence of the house and the quaint, historic villages. I love to share this experience with all of our guests

What makes this property unique
Private, luxury, yet family friendly estate, Bellavista Country Estate is a great destination, whether you are looking for cultural activities, hiking /skiing/nature experiences or just great "chill" time with family and friends.
The estate is located on 60 acres with a 10 acre front lawn and 1/8 mile driveway set far back from the country road.
You can relax in the beautiful in ground pool with no neighbors in sight, hike on the miles of trails, hang out in the 4500 square foot party barn for late night ping pong, foosball or darts. There is an additional entertainment level in the main house which offers arcade games, air hockey, indoor gym or movies. Shoot basketball, a play-set for the kids or just relax in the hammock while enjoying the beautiful countryside. Feed the fish and bullfrogs in the pond. There are 5 nearby ski resorts which offer year round activities. Enjoy this year round luxury camp for all ages and if you want to leave "campus", there's excellent restaurants, art galleries, antiques, theater, dance performances, museums and more!
So much to do in the area, and it's a short trip to Saratoga Springs or Cooperstown. We guarantee you won't be bored unless you want to be, and in that case, we'll provide the wine and hammock. Enjoy!!!
