Recharge your batteries, and skip the airport
If you’re anything like me, sometimes I am so busy that I don’t even realize I need a break. Yes, we can all take time at home. but there’s something about leaving your space for 2 or 3 days that changes everything. Add to that, not getting on a plane, not dealing with the airport, just getting in your car, on your schedule, and arriving at your destination. That is really special.
I recently spent two days at Wildflower Farms in Gardner, New York. To say my batteries have been recharged is an understatement. I did so much, but so little in 48 hours, that I was truly able to relax, and reset.
Auberge Resorts exceeded expectations once again. The food at WF is amazing and we tried a lot of it :) The spa is really special with two outdoor Jacuzzi’s, a heated indoor pool, indoor/outdoor loungers, steam sauna and multiple treatment rooms. I had one of the best facials I’ve ever had. A special treat is they serve the most delicious bone broth in the spa to sip on while you are relaxing . It was actually so incredibly tasty!
In my two days there, I took a pottery class, a Mixology class, went to the spa, did a sound bathing meditation session, spent time with friends and colleagues, went to the gym, and found some spare time to work! I also slept :) I am generally not a big fan of hotel gyms, however I use them anyway. This was an exception because it was amazing...bring your sneakers!
If you visit Wildflower Farms during the spring, summer, or fall, you can add to that list tennis, basketball, farm tours, hiking, bouldering, rock climbing, forest bathing, and swimming in the river.
Auberge has 4 properties all within driving distance from NYC and New England.
The White Barn Inn in Kennebunk, Maine, The Vanderbilt, in Newport, RI and The Mayflower Inn and Spa in Washington, CT. Yes, I am a big fan of them all.
If you don't live on the East Coast, not to worry...they have 21 properties across the United States. They are all unique and true to their location, but all offer the same exceptional quality, service, and culinary experiences. Of course, if you want to get on a plane...I won't tell you not to, there are many exciting Auberge properties you can not drive to!
At DSTravel we can always include special perks for you at all of these properties. Breakfast for 2 daily, resorts credits, and more. Inquire to book or find out more.
