Accommodation: Twin Farms

Twin Farms is located on a vast, secluded estate in the bucolic countryside outside Barnard, Vermont. Our 300 acres of woods, meadows, and mountains comprise a private nine-acre pond; miles of trails for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing; and 10 cottages nestled amongst the trees, in addition to the Lodge, the Main House, and the Farmhouse at Copper Pond. Just outside our gates, you can peruse antique shops, visit the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and tour a working farm, or watch artists shape fine glassware at the Simon Pearce factory in Quechee.

Private or social, active or restful, lavish or soulful — we personalize every detail so your visit is exactly as you wish. Stay amid eclectic, museum-quality art in our 28 individually designed cottages and suites.

How to get here?

• Fly to Patrick Leahy Burlington International Aiport. Turn right off the airport road and follow signs to I-89 South. Take I-89 South to Exit 3 (Bethel). At bottom of exit ramp turn right onto Route 107. Follow Route 107 for approximately 2 miles towards Bethel. At the junction, follow Routes 12 and 107 South, passing under a railroad overpass and then over a large metal bridge.

  Approximately 2 miles after the bridge, take a left onto Route 12. Follow Route 12 South 6 miles to the Barnard General Store. Go straight across Route 12, keeping Silver Lake on your left and the Barnard General Store on your right. Follow this road for approximately 1.5 miles. Where the roads forks, stay to your left on Royalton Turnpike.

  Just past the point where the road changes from black top to dirt, you will see two stone pillars and a wrought iron gate on the right, marking the entrance to our driveway (if you hit blacktop again, you have gone too far). Once through the gate, the driveway curves past The Pub and into the Courtyard. The drive would take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Why not?:

• Explore the country side. Vermonters have had a longtime adoration for Volvos. With miles of dirt roads throughout Vermont in need of exploring, a partnership between Twin Farms and Volvo USA seemed perfectly natural. Thanks to Volvo USA, Twin Farms now has two luxurious 2024 Volvo XC90 Hybrids available for outings and exploration. If you’re looking for an adventure beyond our beautiful setting, a lovely drive through the Vermont countryside — complete with a chef-created picnic — might be just the thing.
