"Built with reclaimed wood from the old Tappan Zee Bridge, The Barns is a light-splashed wellness oasis at the Troutbeck Hotel in Amenia, New York. While the hotel dates back to the 1700s—counting among its guests nature-loving thinkers like Thoreau and Emerson—The Barns opened in 2020. There, guests can enjoy spa treatments, from massage therapy to acupuncture, as well as forest bathing, infrared sauna sessions, and a Kinesoma dance experience aimed at restoring the body, boosting awareness, and bringing a sense of renewed joy. Soon, native wildflower meadows they’ve seeded will envelop and embrace the wellness area, so it's best to start planning a visit now." - Caitlin Gunther, Jessica Chapel


"Nuzzled between the Webatuck River and Dunham Creek near the southern Berkshires, this reimagined historic estate feels charming and serene, with ancient sycamores planted in 1835, hammocks swinging in the shade, and firepits along the riverside. A country inn and tavern since the 1700s, it has reopened after an extensive renovation to host up to 86 guests in 37 uniquely designed rooms across three houses: the Manor, the Benton, and the Garden." - Jessica Chapel, Jessica Sulima


"A country estate composed of multiple historic buildings—Manor House, Benton House, and a cottage—offering 37 airy rooms with crisp linens and four-poster beds (many custom-designed), plus carefully considered interiors featuring grass-cloth wallpaper and classic patterns in the newer Benton House. The estate amenities promote active relaxation with a sauna, tennis courts, a yoga barn, and an outdoor pool, all set within a pastoral property that blends historic charm with modern comforts." - Sophie Friedman

"Two hours from Manhattan along the New York–Connecticut line, this feels like a sumptuous club spread across 250 acres, with tennis courts, a pool, and a constellation of historic barns, manors, and cottages tucked into the woods. The walled garden—built over a century ago to house the world’s largest private clematis collection and now lush with ivy—is a dream ceremony setting, and the meticulous renovation by Alexandra Champalimaud and team preserves the estate’s historical character while bringing every touch up to date, resulting in a genuine hospitality masterpiece." - David Shortell

"A historical sanctuary in Amenia, New York, that was a gathering place for legendary writers, offering winter activities and family-friendly experiences." - Alexis Benveniste
