Twin Farms Unveils New Treehouses and Chef's Table in Vermont

other · 2026-08-13

In Vermont's Green Mountains, Twin Farms, a Relais & Châteaux retreat, has enhanced its offerings with the addition of eight Treehouses, crafted by Michaelis Boyd, renowned for their collaboration with Soho House Group. These 800-square-foot structures, elevated 14 to 20 feet above the ground and connected by bridges, boast open living areas, soaking tubs, and spacious decks. Originally a farmhouse from 1795, acquired by Nobel laureate Sinclair Lewis in 1928 for $10,000, Twin Farms has operated as an all-inclusive, adults-only resort since 1993, now featuring 28 accommodations after the new treehouses. The resort also launched the 'Off Script with Twin Farms' salon series, hosting notable figures like Ben Mezrich and Andrew Ross Sorkin. A new 10,000-square-foot Garden House Spa is set to debut in January 2027, complete with a Finnish sauna and mineral pool. Culinary director Nate Rich and head chef Sylvain Courbet will introduce the Chef's Table experience in late 2025, offering immersive dining. Rates begin at $2,800 per night. Covering 300 acres with nine miles of trails, guests can partake in activities such as yoga and fly-fishing. The author's visit coincided with a severe thunderstorm and smoke from Canadian wildfires, underscoring the resort's secluded setting amidst nature's unpredictability.
