Individually decorated cottages, spa, farm-to-table restaurant
"In the heart of Yankee Connecticut, Winvian Farm is a perfect retreat for the jaded captain of industry wanting to reconnect with their playful inner child. The owners of Vermont’s Pitcher Inn commissioned 15 New England architects to build 18 cottages and 1 suite on a 113-acre estate. Each of the ultra-comfortable and unique cottages is based on a different concept (Library, Treehouse, Helicopter). The best is Beaver Lodge, which gracefully resolves the oxymoronic luxurious trapper’s cabin with hardwoods, an authentic polished beaver’s den preserved in the ceiling, two fireplaces, and a bathroom floor of water-smoothed river stones. In Camping, stars illuminate the ceiling, and marshmallows are set out for roasting in the fireplace. Two of Winvian’s strong points are the standout cuisine of chef Chris Eddy, who has worked with Daniel Boulud and Alain Ducasse, and the well-stocked wine cellar. Guests, and locals in need of some R&R, are welcome to the spa."
"A whimsical Relais & Châteaux property comprised of 18 architecturally distinctive cottages and one main suite, each conceived by different architects—examples include a Helicopter cottage built around a restored 1968 Sikorsky and a Beaver Lodge with a dam-inspired canopy above the bed—alongside a historically styled Hadley Suite in a 1775 family home. The on-site restaurant emphasizes produce grown in the property’s greenhouses and gardens, and curated activities range from stained-glass workshops and fencing lessons to cooking classes and couples’ spa treatments." - Nicholas DeRenzo

"For a slightly more rustic experience, book the Treehouse at Winvian Farm in Morris. The wood-paneled cottage set 35 feet above the ground is way more grown-up than you might initially expect: It has a king-size bedroom, wood-burning fireplace, steam shower, full bar, and a jacuzzi. Guests also have access to Winvian’s other amenities, including yoga classes and bikes to explore the 113-acre resort’s wooded trails and organic gardens." - Christina Pérez, Jessie Heyman
