Twin Farms

Twin Farms is the only Relais & Châteaux property in Vermont and the most uncompromisingly private luxury estate in New England, a 300-acre all-inclusive retreat set in the unspoiled countryside of Barnard that originated as the 1790s farmhouse of Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis and has, since opening as a guest property in 1993, accumulated a reputation as one of the most romantic and carefully curated small hotels in the world. The property accommodates guests across 28 individually designed cottages and suites, each with its own distinct architectural identity, from a Japanese-inspired orchard cottage to a Moroccan meadow cottage to a log cabin enveloped in pine forest, all furnished with museum-quality art including works by David Hockney and Frank Stella. All-inclusive rates cover every meal, wine pairings from a 15,000-bottle cellar, spirits, and the full spectrum of four-season recreation including downhill skiing on a private mountain, canoeing, fly fishing, and hiking. For planners, the property offers executive retreat capacity for groups up to 14 in a dedicated lakeside meeting space with fireplace and full AV, and a full resort buyout for intimate leadership gatherings where the entire 300-acre estate becomes exclusively yours. Two and a half hours from Boston and five from New York, it is the most serious adult-only incentive property in the Northeast.
