Winvian, Morris, Connecticut

BEST PLACE FOR A COZY WEEKEND

WHY IT'S GREAT
When it comes to throwing the ultimate weekend get-together, this new 113-acre resort is the place. The heart of the property is a restored colonial farmhouse, filled with antiques, but guests stay in 18 lavish cottages—each boasting a unique design scheme and at least one open fireplace. One pick: Stable, a duplex with a sunken bathtub.
WHAT TO DO
Plenty of outdoor activities, like hiking and antiquing, but you may want to stick close to Winvian's spa (facials with top U.K. aesthetician Eve Lom's products) and fabulous restaurant (the chef trained under Alain Ducasse).
BRING IT BACK
Furniture from the historic town of Woodbury (once home to American antiques dealer Wayne Pratt); a first edition from a nearby antiquarian book dealer, like Nutmeg Books in Torrington; maple syrup tapped at a local farm.
