Captivating art (by the likes of David Hockney and Jasper Johns) combine with storybook New England terrain in this former residence of beloved writers Sinclair Lewis and Dorothy Thompson. As a member of Relais & Châteaux, the inn’s cuisine can be counted on to fulfill epicurean longings, while its activities (from hiking and tennis to pond swimming, kayaking and aviary tours) induce a healing state of mind. Adult-only, intimate and all inclusive, the resort has a small spa that serves as a centerpiece for the property, encouraging guests to pursue well-being and relaxation in nature. Forest-bathe as you slumber in one of the eight new Treehouse Suites. Design centric interiors contrast with log-cabin-y facades slung between branches. They hover 14-20 ft above ground, encompassing 800 sq ft each. Bath lovers won’t leave the tub, which feels like a nest among the leaves; and those with a penchant for fireplaces will snuggle before the drop-down floating fireplace with glee.
