"In the small town of Gardiner, overlooking the Shawangunk Ridge (or, as locals lovingly refer to it, “The Gunks”), Wildflower Farms is a nature-inspired retreat featuring a 9,000-square-foot wellness facility called Thistle. Named after the wild blooms that blanket nearby fields in the summer, Thistle offers body treatments using small-batch botanicals, scrubs, and remedies made in partnership with the local Cultivate Apothecary. Meanwhile, facials feature products from French cult-favorite brand Biologique Recherche. Of note, Thistle’s immersive outdoor treatments—like guided meditations alongside the river—are all crafted with an eye toward harnessing the power of nature." - Caitlin Gunther, Jessica Chapel
"Step onto this picturesque campus set in a meadow beneath the Shawangunk Mountains and you immediately feel the property’s emphasis on nature: on a 140-acre site that was once a tree nursery and dairy farm, Wildflower leans into local agriculture with a working farm that supplies ingredients for cooking classes, its progressive New American restaurant Clay, and treatments at the Thistle spa; guests can tour crops, feed animals, and collect eggs, and with only about four percent of the land developed there are extensive forest trails and 65 freestanding cabins, cottages, and suites featuring fireplaces, well‑curated minibars, private terraces, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing meadow, wood, or mountain views." - Jessica Chapel
"Set between the Shawangunk Ridge and meadows of wildflowers just under two hours from New York City, this sprawling estate of 65 freestanding cabins and cottages practically insists you touch grass. Vaulted ceilings and floor‑to‑top windows maximize the views, and outdoor showers, balconies, fire pits, and a massive open‑air porch encourage time outside. On a crisp, sunny November stay, I hiked, joined morning yoga, took a ceramics class, and swam in the outdoor heated pool; the daily ritual of collecting fresh eggs from the chicken coop for the chef to cook at breakfast was a simple joy and a cherished memory." - Elly Leavitt
"Our go-to for an indulgent stay in the Hudson Valley." - Elise Taylor
"Set on a former tree farm below the Shawangunk Ridge, the property comprises 65 freestanding cottages decorated with local mementos and provides direct access to three miles of trails, a working farm that supplies seasonal vegetables (and summer wildflowers) to the on-site fine-dining restaurant Clay, and a Thistle spa offering treatments using locally hand-harvested oils and scrubs. Wellness here extends beyond spa services to activities like forest bathing, collecting eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast, and connecting with the surrounding landscape." - Sophie Friedman
