The Dutchess

Psst… can you keep a secret? The Dutchess is an undisclosed Hudson Valley estate that’s so hush-hush you’ll only hear about it from someone on the inside. Luckily, you know us. For sure, a stay here means organic guest-chef cuisine and fireside cocktails with new-found friends – but each retreat has its own character. One weekend you’re treated to soothing sound baths in the yoga barn and rigorous rolfing in the spa, while another sees you biking through the woods and picking vegetables with the in-house farmer. Regardless, at the end of each day you’ll bed down beneath beam-vaulted ceilings with the scent of lavender, chamomile and palo santo in the air. In every sense, this is New York’s very best-kept secret.
