Restored farmhouse lodge
The mid-19th-century dairy farm runs as a low-key lakeside lodge, where guests drift from the trail to fireside drinks.
What it’s good at
Notable
Modern rustic interiors contrast rough-hewn barn beams with clean contemporary furnishings.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The style is modern-rustic, and considerably more stylish than the average New England mountain lodge — here an 180-year-old farmhouse and cow barn provide the raw material for a contemporary, boutique-style hotel.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Appalachian Trail runs right along the property, and the lifts at Killington Mountain Resort are ten minutes away.
The rooms
Rooms occupy the original farmhouse and barn, with rough-hewn timber beams set against crisp modern furniture.
Sauna and hot tub
An indoor sauna sits inside the barn, and a cedar hot tub on the terrace faces Kent Pond.
Bar
Kent Lounge and Terrace
Local craft beers are poured at the reclaimed timber bar, and leather sofas sit beside the stone wall.
How it began
Merle Schoenfeld converted the 1850s dairy farm into a lodge in 1959, six years before Kent Brook was dammed to form the pond.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
