We stayed in the Secret Society cottage. I thought it was really well done, though it is among the smallest (and least expensive) of the cottages. The double-height living area (small but comfortable for 2) gets light from doors leading to the back porch, from the tiny clearstory windows, and, of course, from the peaked glass ceiling that is the...

what a unique experience the cottages are very special and all so unique. the farm to table food delicious and we definitely left heavier than when we arrived. The service was somewhat lacking for us and the cleaning staff barged in without knocking asking for a snack in the afternoon seemed to be a major problem and that was all... More

stayed two nights after Thanksging. 1st night we had the Stone cottage. It was nothing short of fabulos. We called to have the fireplace started,Michael arrived within 5 minutes, started both fireplaces. Totally amazing night. The Cottage had everthing to make it perfect.. a bar, steam shower, total package.... 2nd night we stayed in the helicopter cottage. It was nice... More

My wife and I stayed during fall peak foliage time for our 'babymoon' (time period before a new baby). We had high expectations because of what we've read (and the price) but were still blown away. We stayed in the log cabin, which was quiet, clean, luxurious, and so incredibly relaxing. All of the cabins, with very few exceptions, seemed... More

The food was unbelievable, the service was impeccable. Our accommodations were nicely maintained and so unique. We stayed in the Library Cottage. Room service was perfect, as was the spa. I recommend the all inclusive package as well. We loved the privacy of our own cottage and loved the bikes too. Amazing, amazing trip and we'll most certainly be back.

We walked out the front door of The Beaver Cottage at Winvian, tired and dissappointed. I would like to say that the staff was very friendly and the gorunds are very pretty. Our cottage itself was very beautifully designed and decorated. Unfortuantely our first afternoon inside we discovered a large mouse scamper through the bathroom into the bedroom. Staff was... More

We liked almost everything about Winvian, as the other reviewers have attested to. Inexplicably, however, it does not have a swimming pool - huge drawback in the summer months. Versus the Mayflower, it is more stylish and fun, but the Mayflower edges it out by having wonderful indoor and outdoor pools, and a far superior spa environment. Winvian, how about... More

I had stayed at Winvian numerous times on business. Each and every time, I dreamt of bringing my family. This past summer, I finally did. I surprised my husband and my 11 year old son. As we pulled up to the lush, majestic grounds, we were let through the gate and greeted by the General Manager, Paolo. He graciously and... More

My stay at Winvian, located in Litchfield Hills, Connecticut, provided a brief respite from New York City while triggering a severe case of wanderlust. The property is beautiful. Dotted with cottages reminiscent of the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel,” Winvian will transport you to a different era, depending on your lodging. I stayed one night in Industry and was swept... More
