"Real Housewife" Dorinda's Famous Berkshire County Home on Airbnb

I admit it. I am addicted to bad reality TV, specifically anything Real Housewives. Yes I realize it's trash TV, it pushes a narrative of unattainable beauty and wealth and in some cases probably sets women back about 20 years, but dammit, I like it. And so do millions of other people.

Hence my excitement when I saw that Dorinda Medley, one of the most prominent former cast members on the Real Housewives of New York cast, is putting her iconic Blue Stone Manor Property on popular short-term rental app Airbnb, for two, one night stays.

Blue Stone Manor became synonymous with RHONY when the cast began taking annual trips to Great Barrington, where Dorinda grew up and owns a home. The cast would film all over The Berkshires from four to five days, which usually resulted in two or three episodes in each season.

Since Dorinda left the show, she thought it would be fun for fans to have the opportunity to stay at her now-iconic south county property and at a bargain price. The four-bed, four-bath, 11,000 square foot manor is going for only $100! The opportunity to rent her home opens at 12 p.m. on August 18 and she is only offering it for one night, to two different renters on August 23 and August 25.

According to Dorinda, the house itself is a 1902 hilltop estate in Great Barrington is "best known as the idyllic setting of some of our, well, less-than-idyllic scenes on the Real Housewives of New York, but there’s more than just drama to be displayed here. Jewel-clad peacocks, sea-shelled statues, and a swell of gorgeous velvet abound as well – it’s a feast for the eyes."

Check out some photos of the lavish home below and here is where you can try and book the house yourself when it opens on August 18.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.

Today these parks are located throughout the country in 25 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The land encompassing them was either purchased or donated, though much of it had been inhabited by native people for thousands of years before the founding of the United States. These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about the natural world, and as spaces for exploration.
