Troutbeck

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

"You'll find this property near the southern Berkshire range and the eastern edge of the Hudson Valley, nestled between the running water of the Webatuck River and Dunham Creek. It’s charming here, where ancient sycamores (planted in 1835 along with the Manor House) canopy overhead, private hammocks swing in the shade, and firepits sit along the riverside. The reimagined historic estate has been an established country inn (and tavern) since the 1700’s, but has since (thankfully) re-opened its doors with an extensive renovation. It can now accommodate 86 guests, with 37 uniquely designed guest rooms within the three “houses:” the Manor, the Benton, and the Garden."

"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. Start the day with a guided meditation or a group yoga class under the soaring barn ceilings." - Caitlin Gunther

"A 250-acre estate hotel reminiscent of a sleek country home, offering amenities like a wellness complex and access to the Sharon Audubon Center."

"As soon as you pull into the driveway at Troutbeck in Armenia, New York, the stress of the city quickly vanishes. Since the 1770s, the property has served as a country estate, a tavern, and an arts club attracting all sorts of intellectuals and writers from David Thoreau to Mark Twain. Today, this stylish country inn features 17 elegant rooms with canopied beds (outfitted in Frette linens), Tivoli radios, and MALIN+GOETZ bathroom products. There are various cozy sitting areas and reading rooms filled with games and art books where guests can spend hours perusing with a coffee or cocktail in hand. For more active types, the 250-acre property features a swimming pool, tennis courts, a modern barn with wellness classes, and an elegant walled garden." - The MICHELIN Guide
