Nov. 27, 2024 | Rebecca Robin
Welcome to Wildflower Farms, the cream of the crop in upstate New York resorts. Set on 140 acres of lush Hudson Valley beauty, this boutique retreat from the Auberge Resorts Collection offers the height of rustic luxury. Just 90 minutes from New York City, Wildflower Farms is a peaceful escape from the city's chaos, letting you reconnect with the great outdoors in the most luxurious way possible.
Picture this: miles of wildflower meadows painting the landscape, their vibrant colors stretching as far as the eye can see. Stay in a private cabin with views of the majestic Shawangunk Mountains, framed by the property’s beautiful namesake farm. Whether you're savoring farm-fresh meals, unwinding with a peaceful forest bath, or exploring scenic hiking trails, Wildflower Farms is an invitation to reconnect with nature and embrace the quiet luxury of Hudson Valley.
Make Yourself At Home
First impressions matter, and from the moment you arrive, Wildflower Farms envelops you in an atmosphere that instantly feels like home. Your stay begins at the Great Porch, an open-air gathering space centered around a crackling fire pit, with plush seating perfectly positioned to take in the picturesque surroundings. Whether you’re savoring a craft cocktail, lounging with your favorite book, or simply soaking in the serene views, this welcoming space is designed for both connection and quiet reflection.
The charm continues in your accommodations. Choose from 65 beautifully crafted cabins and cottages, each a curated blend of rustic character and modern luxury:
- Meadow Cottages: Wake up to the sunrise with coffee on your private patio, surrounded by vibrant wildflowers.
- Ridge Suites: Tucked away in secluded corners, these suites come with fireplaces, oversized soaking tubs, and cedar hot tubs on expansive terraces—ideal for sunset soaks.
- Cabins with a View: With floor-to-ceiling windows and cozy interiors, these spaces let you take in nature without leaving the comfort of your retreat.
Farm-Chic Dining
Indulge in a dining experience that goes beyond the plate—a true celebration of Hudson Valley’s rich, local flavors. At Clay, the resort’s signature restaurant, every dish tells a story of the land, crafted with ingredients grown right on the property or sourced from nearby farms. Picture yourself savoring wood-fired sourdough, drizzled with golden local honey and sprinkled with wild herbs, or enjoying perfectly roasted Hudson Valley duck, complemented by earthy, foraged mushrooms.
But why stop at just tasting? At Wildflower Farms, you can roll up your sleeves and immerse yourself in the art of farm-to-table living. Join culinary workshops where you can master the craft of bread baking, create herbal infusions, try your hand at pickling, or even gather fresh eggs to start your day. Here, every bite is more than a meal—it’s an experience rooted in connection, care, and the joy of discovery.
Nature-Inspired Wellness
Reconnect with nature and yourself at Wildflower Farms, where wellness meets simplicity. At Thistle Spa, treatments like wildflower oil massages and botanical facials feature herbs grown right on-site, bringing the essence of the land to every session. Unwind with a swim in the saltwater pool or join an open-air yoga class, surrounded by the fresh mountain air and the sounds of nature.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the options are equally restorative. Walk through fields of wildflowers, experience the calming practice of forest bathing, or enjoy a quiet hike through the woods. Each experience is designed to help you slow down, recharge, and reconnect with what matters most.
