Winvian Farm is an ultra-luxury hideaway resort set on 113 acres of Litchfield Hills countryside at 155 Alain White Rd in Morris, Connecticut. One of the most distinctive lodging experiences in New England, the property comprises 18 architecturally unique artisan cottages—each designed by a different architect to evoke a specific theme—alongside a farmhouse suite. Themes range from the Woodlands cottage with its hand-hewn timber interior to the iconic Helicopter cottage built around a 1968 Sikorsky helicopter. The farm-to-table dining program draws on an on-site kitchen garden and local Connecticut producers, with the main restaurant serving prix-fixe dinners that pair seasonal ingredients with carefully curated wines. A full-service spa offers massages, facials, and wellness treatments in a tranquil woodland setting. An outdoor pool, extensive hiking trails traversing mature forest, and complimentary bicycle use encourage guests to engage with the surrounding Litchfield Hills landscape. The property sits within minutes of Lake Waramaug, White Memorial Conservation Center, and the charming town of Litchfield with its historic green and antique shops. All rates are inclusive of breakfast, dinner, and most activities. The property operates year-round, with each season offering a different character: spring wildflowers, summer swimming, autumn foliage among the most dramatic in Connecticut, and winter fireside evenings in the cottages. The concierge team arranges fly-fishing excursions, private chef dinners, hot-air balloon rides, and custom itineraries across the Litchfield Hills region. Winvian Farm welcomes guests aged 14 and above, maintaining an intimate atmosphere of privacy and seclusion across its woodland estate.
