Welcome to Twin Farms – A Relais & Chateaux country estate about an hour or so from Burlington, VT in the charming town of Barnard.

The Welcome at Twin Farms keeps on giving – hand crafted chocolates from the in-house pastry chef, guests of Resort to Laura Madrid are always welcomed with Dom Perginon, and each guests gets their own personal STAVE puzzle to keep.  Homemade Granola, a fantastic bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir, a refrigerator full of goodies and beverages, an overflowing and always replenished snack basket, the treats are endless!

ejeorj6KQKqdF3yrk0D2xwWe had the privilege of staying in Chalet, a fantastic accommodation with some of the best views at Twin Farms, a roaring fire place, his and her bathrooms, and a Japanese bath.  Each cottage and room at Twin Farms Accommodations has its own charm –

Evenings start like this at Twin Farms, hand-crafted cocktails, champagne, and cheese followed by a 4-course magnificent dinner paired with scrumptious wines. Twin Farms takes note of any dietary concerns or preferences, they then ask for you to sit back and watch the magic unfold.  Every bite throughout my stay was a delight!

After dinner or rainy days might be spent watching sports or playing billiards at the pub.  A great spot for World Cup Action! Help your self to anything – a local craft brew, a crisp resiling, or order up a world class margarita, or rare whiskey – it is all included, whenever you want, because “no” is not in the Twin Farms vocabulary.
