What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection finds itself in Gardiner, on a working farm that’s more properly secluded than many Hudson Valley resorts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The craggy cliffs of the Gunks rise nearby, with climbing routes and the historic hamlet of New Paltz minutes away.
The rooms
Vaulted ceilings and heirloom quilts warm the freestanding cabins, where glass walls slide open onto private sun decks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor saltwater pool sits beneath timber trusses, and an outdoor pool deck looks across open meadows toward the ridge.
The spa and studio
Sunken hot tubs look out across the meadow, and sliding glass doors open the movement studio to the pond.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Clay builds its menu around produce and eggs harvested on site, served beneath timber trusses beside a stone hearth.
the resort offers a singularly luxurious package, from the excellence of its surprisingly progressive food-and-beverage program to its spacious, thoughtfully designed cabins.
How it began
The 140-acre grounds were once a tree nursery and dairy farm bordering the waters of the Shawangunk Kill.
“Wildflower Farms’ aesthetic—envisioned by West Coast architects Electric Bowery and New York–based design studio Ward and Gray—is bucolic… and blends in beautifully with the natural surroundings.”
