Fall Weekend Getaway Guide 2017

Winivan Farm ~ 3 hours from NYC 155 Alain White Road, Morris, CT 06763 (860) 567-9600 http://www.winvian.com/

Far from the madding crowd, in the Litchfield Hills, lies a quiet getaway. Set on 113 acres and bordering extensive woods and lakes, Winvian Farm was created to recharge and indulge. A place like this is difficult to describe for it lacks nothing. Winvian Farm aspires to host you with no airs but graces, no extravagance or opulence, only warmth and treats. The 5-star cuisine, the wines, the Spa and the team are as unexpected as the experiences that one ultimately enjoys.

The Whiteface Lodge ~ 5 hours and 15 minutes from NYC 7 Whiteface Inn Lane, Lake Placid, NY 12946 (518) 523-0500 http://www.thewhitefacelodge.com/

Considered by many one of the best hotels of its kind in the country, Whiteface Lodge is nestled in Adirondack Park. This six-million-acre recreation area in upstate New York has drawn nature lovers for decades (visitors have included Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Vanderbilt's and Marjorie Merriweather Post). In the heart of the park on Lake Placid, the lodge evokes the region's 19th- century heyday with a wood-beamed exterior, cozy carpet-strewn sitting rooms and cast-iron fireplaces. Amenities and services are decidedly 21st-century, as is the focus on family travel and mountain escapes. The resort offers every imaginable activity for families and adult travelers; including a movie theater, bowling, canoeing and ice skating in the winter. Kanu restaurant and lounge features classic culinary creations and a resort spa has hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, wellness classes, fitness center and a full-service spa and salon menu.
