Description
Twin Farms is as legendary as it gets on the American hotel circuit. Located in picturesque Barnard, VT, just 1.5 hours from Burlington and 20 minutes from the charming village of Woodstock, this landmark hotel sits on 300 acres of pristine Vermont land. The hotel is intimate and historic with a sense of place few hotels in the U.S. have managed to capture. In fact, the Main House itself is an 18th century farmhouse purchased by writer Sinclair Lewis and famed journalist Dorothy Thompson in the 1930s (turned into a hotel in 1993). To tell the story of this iconic place John Graham, longtime Managing Director, joins Melissa. The two will speak about the hotel's museum worthy art collection, its incredible culinary program, the activities and experiences one can do on and off property, and the legendary figures who have shaped the history of the hotel. And - just in time for the hotel’s 30th anniversary - Twin Farms is launching eight spectacular and serene Treehouses, the newest accommodation on property bringing the total room count from 20 to 28 (the first two launch on September 14th and the next six will follow through the fall). John will share details of these new beautiful new rooms and speak to the evolution of the hotel.
