LITCHFIELD HILLS, CONNECTICUT

Tucked away in the idyllic northwest corner of Connecticut and just over two hours from New York City or Boston, Winvian Farms is comprised of nineteen eclectic cottages situated on 113 acres and bordered by leafy woods and lakes.

You will fall in love with the unique architecture and art in each masterful cottage. Treehouse, pictured above, is suspended in trees, Library features walls of books and library ladders, and Camping is Winvian Farm’s version of immersion in nature.

TAKE YOUR PICK AT BLACKBERRY FARM & BLACKBERRY MOUNTAIN

WALLAND, TENNESSEE

Blackberry Farm and its sister property, Blackberry Mountain, are the ultimate Southern escapes. Spanning a remarkable 5,200 acres in the heart of Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, the former doubles as a working farm and romantic retreat and the latter as an elevated (literally) wellness escape with cuisine that travels beyond regional delights.

Sweeping vistas invite endless exploration and an impressive range of activities with everything from horseback riding and fly-fishing to meditative sound bathing and private ceramic classes. Delightful indulgences await you at either property, but we’re not necessarily asking you to choose between the two… stay at one or allow us to blend the best of both Southern sanctuaries. Don’t wait to experience peak autumn in this spectacular setting!! Come anytime.

Private perks: Upgrade on arrival, daily full breakfast, $100 spa credit, welcome amenity, early check-in, late check-out, complimentary wifi, and more.

SIP CRISP CHAMPAGNE FIRESIDE AT TWIN FARMS

BARNARD, VERMONT

Consider this your estate-away-from-home. Sinclair Lewis, Nobel prize-winning author and the owner of the original 1795 farm house wrote of his favorite hideaway, “There will be apple trees and flaming lilies, and the moon over the low mountains and you and me, after dinner, sitting on the terrace… and inside, when it becomes chilly, the fireplace and lamplight and lots of books.”

Twin Farms may have undergone an elegant transformation since those words were written, but its ambience is as alluring as ever. This romantic pastoral sanctuary in central Vermont stretches over 300 acres of rolling hills and meadows, orchards, gardens, woods and ponds. By day, engage in your favorite pastimes such as hiking, biking, picnicking, or canoeing, and enjoy evenings dining on gourmet cuisine complemented by vintages from a 15,000 bottle wine cellar.

Private perks: 15% single occupancy discount, upgrade on arrival, daily full breakfast, house-made honey and local pottery (value of $150), early check-in, late check-out, complimentary wifi, and more.
