Sfera’s private guest house in Beacon NY was just what me and my girlfriend was looking for. Although it is a guest house it is detached from the main house so we had ample privacy. It is a guest house so it is ofc smaller but the furniture and decor was colorful and fun and ultimately the place was very cozy and comfortable. Sfera was a lovely host, very friendly and responsive, and I would totally book with them again in the future.

We could not have been happier when we got to Sfera Louise’s rental! It was the perfect destination for a weekend getaway to Beacon. Easy walks to Dia and the Main Street, as well as hiking. Can’t wait to visit again.

I absolutely loved this painting experience! It was so much more than just an art class — it was a chance to relax, let go, and reconnect with creativity in a completely stress-free environment. The host Sfera was amazing: warm, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and created such a safe, welcoming space.

What made this so special was that it wasn’t about performance or results — it was all about feeling, presence, and self-expression. We used paint as a medium to let go and just be — and it felt incredibly freeing. The studio itself is beautiful and inspiring, and the whole experience felt deeply personal and joyful.

Whether you’re an artist or have never picked up a brush, I can’t recommend this enough. A magical, grounding, and soulful experience I’ll never forget.

Such an incredible experience! This is exactly the type of creative, connected space that makes me enjoy (and want to move to) NY! Sfera is welcoming, engaging, motivating, and inspiring. She approaches everything with an air of support and subjectivity—there is no right or wrong in creating… everyone decides how to express and explore their experience for themselves. I’d recommend this experience for everyone visiting the area!
