We have been going to Twin Farms at least once a year for 20 years and its still just as special as the first time.  It is so relaxing and cozy.  The food is incredible and they have added a number of facilities which  has enhanced the experience even more.  Some public rooms and cottages are probably due for some upgrades but overall still one of the best hotels in the world

Unique Luxury - Special Hotel worth every penny

Words can not possibly explain the wonder and brilliance of Twin Farms.  It is that kind of mystical setting that in order to truly understand it, one must visit.  My wife and I visited Twin Farms for the first time in early January, immediately after the holidays.  We could not have been more blown away by our experience.   We are discerning travelers, having had the amazing opportunity to visit many incredible places and hotels, both domestically and internationally.   There truly is a mystique that you "feel" as you move through the entry gate.  The setting and grounds are beautiful.  The arrival experience was outstanding.  The food that we tasted, whether in the main dining room, at Twiggs, or through in room was dining was perfect every time.  The craft cocktail and wine offerings were thoughtfully and beautifully prepared.  Our intent for this brief two day visit was to relax and disconnect.  Twin Farms provided the perfect setting to do that.  We spent hours, sitting in our bed, looking out the floor to ceiling glass of our tree house, just absorbed in the spectacular surroundings.  And I should add that our tree house was outstanding...  such a beautiful,  well thought out space, with every amenity we could want.  We had the opportunity to use the spa for a couples massage, and the treatment was amazing.   We lounged in the Furo for an hour, and that was also outstanding.   We had an opportunity to have a picnic at the top of the mountain in the lift operator dwelling, and that was incredible.   We both said that we could have easily spent a week there, if time had allowed for it..  But the real reason that Twin Farms is what it is, is due to the most lovely and caring staff.  They have the mastered the art of service to a level that is difficult to describe.   As one other reviewer noted, the word "no" does not exist.  It is only about,  what can we do to make your experience memorable,  no matter how great or small the ask...  Upon leaving the property, we had already booked our next stay within 30 minutes.  Twin Farms will be a place that we will return to, again and again..  

The Magic of Twin Farms...

As others have noted, the priorities at Twin Farms have shifted from being a unique guest experience to one of expansion and dilution of services to maximize profit..

As a multiple time repeat guest I have been witness to these unfortunate changes, which I first noticed in 2020 when management decreed that house keeping would not be doing laundry “because of covid” even though they didn’t bristle at changing the bed sheets.   Then came the expansion plans to knock down trees to add more guest cottages and an additional dining room to feed them at the expense of eliminating the charming game room, “Twigs", which was an ode to the founder of Twin Farms, Thurston Twig-Smith. Twin farms also now requires reservations for dinner and encourages tipping (even though advertised as all inclusive).  The end result is the transformation of a once charming, personal experience, which had soul to one of a hum drum over priced corporate hotel hatched by private equity. 

So sad…

Twin Farms smells of private equity

We had a delightful stay at Twin Farms this September. As a group of four (two couples). We stayed in Washington's room and Dorothy's room. 

The location of the property is pretty remote (which is part of the beauty of the place), so you will almost certainly have all meals on the property, and that's to your benefit. We used the bikes and enjoyed a wonderful ride through the countryside. My sister-in-law took part in the painting activity, and there were plenty of other activities available:  scavenger hunts, puzzles, hikes...

I'm usually wary of dining options at inclusive places but both restaurants and all meals were absolutely terrific. The concierge had us complete our food preferences in advance and they tailored each meal to our personal requests. 

I personally preferred the rooms and suites in the main lodge to the newer treehouses because it felt like an authentic experience from the original farm. The treehouses are newer and beautiful and adjacent but not connected to the property 

The contemporary art was interesting and fun to browse along with the old books.

Just before departure at breakfast, the waiter asked us if we would like lunch for the road, and we took four yummy sandwich bags, which came in handy on our drive to NYC.

I absolutely recommend Twin Farms for a remote Vermont Getaway!



A lovely place for a Vermont getaway

Wow! What an amazing experience. Our suite was lovely. The service was exceptional. And the food was delicious. We had the tasting menu and a special wine dinner in the Main Dining Room as well as dinner at Twiggs. The spa was great. There is lots to do on site as well as in nearby Woodstock. So glad we went.

Great place to celebrate!

This is our fourth time here and we absolutely love the experience.  Nature is at your doorstep and you can partake in wonderful amenities in a peaceful and tranquil environment.  We stayed in Orchard and saw deer, a momma bear and her cub!  Fantastic!  As with our previous stays, the food is uneven.  We love the new Twiggs but think the main dining experience has suffered.  Lowlights include an over cooked cheeseburger for lunch, cold French fries and then undercooked sea bass for dinner.

Fabulous Property

My husband surprised me with the craziest, most expensive, romantic weekend at Twin Farms. This luxury, all inclusive intimate "resort" is truely magical. Tucked into the woods of Vermont not too far from Woodstock and near a beautiful lake with a state park. 
The supurb staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to do their best to make your every wish come true. The food is supurb; breakfast which can be taken in the dining room or delivered to your room, lunch at the restaurant or taken as a picnic at one of their many private picnic spots, and dinner in one of 2 restaurants offering either a five course tasing menu with wine pairings at one, or a more traditional menu at the other, you will not go hungry.  The sommeliers are knoweledgable and willing to answer all your questions. Activities include...fly fishing, pickleball, canoeing, paddleboarding, a lovely pond for swimming, archery, ax throwing, board games, and hiking just to name a few. There is a Japanese Furo  which is privately yours by reservation for about 30-40 minutes, is a great way to relax. This was a once in a lifetime fabulous experience.

Amazing, amazing, amazing

Everything we expected and more! Cottages and meals were fabulous, of course, and the entire area is simply beautiful. We also expected great service at these prices, but what really made our stay particularly enjoyable was how easy going everyone was, proving you can be “world class” without being snooty. From an incredible outdoor playground by day, to a cozy barstool each night, Twin Farms is simply made to be enjoyed.

The ultimate adult summer camp

We had the best time here at this very special place.  The setting in rural Vermont is picturesque, the food is  delicious and  creative, but doesn’t try too hard.  We hiked, had lunch in a gorgeous tree house,  used E bikes for first time, tried axe throwing  and played lots of pickle ball.  All of the Staff we encountered were truly amazing but big shout outs to Suzanne and Justin in Twiggs.  Kyle, Myra and Britt in activities were just awesome.  We cannot wait to come back again.

Spectacular parents get-away

An absolutely wonderful experience for an anniversary trip.  The staff was so friendly and accommodating and made us feel comfortable and special during every moment of our stay. Every meal was perfect and the picnic lunch that was set up for us during an afternoon hike was a lot of fun.  If you love laid back luxury in a beautiful setting and outdoor activity, Twin Farms is the ultimate destination.
