While the entry gate might be as close as you will get to Heaven's Gate while still alive, Winvian may not be perfect but is a close second. Most recently I enjoyed lunch on a Sunday afternoon which followed a few weeks after the Saturday lunch. In the past I have rented a cottage for a weekend and taken my... More

This place is really great. The spa was immaculate, modern, and extremely welcoming. The staff at the spa were also amazing and very welcoming. We enjoyed the couples massage in the 40 winks suite which was followed by some relaxation fire side along with champagne and a cheese plate. The goodies were included in the price but don't let this... More

My wife and I were looking for a long weekend getaway from NYC, within approx. 2 hours drive or so. I came across the Winvian, which was recently opened and has garnered a huge amount of press and high reviews. Having never been to this part of the country, we liked what we read and opted for a long weekend... More

Anniversary stay in the Woodlands cottage was fantastic. The cottage was perfect, the food was out of this world, and the service was over the top. Yes it's expensive, but if you can afford it, it's worth every single penny. Hint, make sure you book the private S'mores bonfire and private wine/cheese tasting. More

Truly a perfect weekend. We stayed in the Music Cottage, which is in the lowest tier of cottages and, if that's what's considered low tier, I can only imagine what the other rooms look like. Our cottage was huge and decorated with a music theme. We had a fireplace and enormous bathroom with jacuzzi. The staff really knew how to... More

My husband and I stayed here during a wedding this past summer, and under normal circumstances would not have spent the money to stay at such an expensive resort. Since I don't normally stay in places this fancy, I can't really compare it to other experiences, but we enjoyed our stay. However, Winvian was very, very nice. We stayed in... More

Winvian is really beautiful and the main lodge/ house is very very warm and cozy. We didnt do the spa but the facilities looked amazing. The grounds are beautiful. The food is fantastic! We stayed in Secret Society which was nice. The themed cottages are a bit eccentric but they work and we really enjoyed our time. I think its... More

This place is amazing set on a huge piece of property consisting of beautiful cottages with themes. Mine is the Yankee CT. It should be called King Arthur. The bed is a king 4 poster with to huge wingback chairs in front of the fireplace. The bathroom has a double sink with a huge jacuzzi tub and BIGGER shower with... More

We recently spent an overnight here to celebrate our anniversary. While not inexpensive, Winvian is a very unique experience and perfect for a special occasion. We loved our cottage, Connecticut Yankee, and enjoyed sitting in the highbacked armchairs in front of the fire with a pre-dinner glass of wine. A comfortable bed with sheets as soft as silk and oversized... More
