In idyllic Salisbury, CT, two-and-a-half hours north of NYC sits 9 Academy, a luxurious new property featuring three modern and elegant suites. Done up in a serene style of raw oak wood floors, earthy linens, and tactile plaster finishes, each suite occupies a full floor of the house so peace and privacy come naturally here. Inside, the experience is equal parts posh hotel (Le Labo bath products, Brooklinen sheets, and Nespresso coffee) and home comforts (full kitchens, washer/dryers, and zippy-fast WiFi), and each space has its own charms and personality. Go for the Garden Suite for a private entrance and easy-access outdoor space; the second-floor Parlor Suite is made for slow mornings, with a cozy reading nook and stairs down to a quiet yard; while the third-floor Loft Suite is a light-flooded enclave with French doors onto a private terrace. Common throughout is a flexible layout for four (including children aged eight and up) with a King bed and sleeper sofa. The spa-like bathrooms have huge tubs and heated floors—perfect for a New England winter retreat. Whatever the season, don’t miss a wander into town for morning pastries at Sweet William, a yoga class at Riga, and dinner with the locals at the White Hart Inn. The plum location both in the heart of Salisbury and in the wider CT-NY-MA triangle puts all the regional highlights within drive distance. Plan to eat, antique, hike, ski and swim your way through all three states knowing your cozy, and supremely stylish, home-away-from-home is waiting at 9 Academy.

Welcome to Roscoe Farmhouse, a luxuriously appointed 1800s farmhouse set on 22+ acres of open fields, woods and back trails in Roscoe, NY, just two hours from the city. Designed to sleep up to six guests and infused with soft modern touches that invite you to put work aside and relax, this historic farmhouse could not be a more tranquil space for friends or family to gather. Enjoy wide open views from every window, a gorgeous down-home chef’s kitchen, wood burning stove in the living room, clawfoot tub in the ensuite master bath, and tons of outdoor space, including a barn with fire pit seating, screened gazebo for afternoon games, and a stone patio perfect for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. Located in the heart of fly-fishing country (Roscoe is nicknamed “Trout Town, USA”), there are countless outdoor activities nearby ranging from trout fishing streams and hiking trails, lake and river outings, or an alpaca farm visit (highly recommended!). Outside of the fishing season, which lasts from April through October, choose from the amazing local breweries, farmers markets and restaurants, or weave through the lush landscape to check out the charming towns of Livingston Manor, Narrowsburg, Bethel and Callicoon. No turn is a wrong turn; everything is within 15-30 minutes.
