The Troutbeck Experience

Located in Amenia, New York, within the vibrant Hudson Valley, Troutbeck is situated on acres of bucolic landscape, bisected by the Webutuck River and Dunham Creek. The gateway to the upstate cultural and creative corridor, Troutbeck - re-envisioned and carefully updated – is again what it was to so many before us: inspiration, respite, restoration, folly, community, nature and nurture – carrying forward its 250-year legacy of hospitality.

Go ahead, sleep in

And when you’re ready, enjoy breakfast in your spacious king-sized bed nestled in luxurious Frette linens. Devour a new book by the fireplace, the peace and abundance beyond your windows, or perhaps opened to the country air - the sounds of the Webatuck river and Dunham creek as they roll beneath. However you wish to spend your time away, each of our unique rooms will provide the escape you need.

SPRING BREAK SCOOP Lead Image

SPRING BREAK SCOOP

January 21, 2025 See All

Spring break is around the corner, and it's loooooooong, up to 14 days. Here are 14 reasons to be in residence at Troutbeck for it.

EXPLORE OUR "SPRING SENSES" INCENTIVE, WITH CODE "SPRING" WHEN YOU BOOK A ROOM.

1. A home of your own

Benton Cottage is available to rent as a whole with four bedrooms (sleeps up to 8!), a dining room, living room + kitchenette. Move in, takeover + reap the benefits of our amenities in a home of your own.

2. Mountains

From Troutbeck, there's easy access to nearby family-friendly ski slopes (weather dependent), such as Mohawk Mountain, Catamount and Butternut, where one can also "uphill" adventure via skinning or snow shoeing (details at Catamount here and Mohawk here), and don't forget about the fun of tubing!

3. Equal Beauty, less steep

Cross-country skiing and snow shoeing is even closer: on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail (access point is a 5 minute drive from Troutbeck) or at nearby Wethersfield, one of the region’s most distinguished estates and gardens, where hiking, snow showing or cross country skiing is available on their maintained trails for $10 per day.

4. Horseback Riding

Walking distance from Troutbeck is Hope Rising Farm, a welcoming horse farm where beginners can take lessons on the sweet steeds. Call ahead to organize lessons for your child while you are at Troutbeck. For more rigorous lessons, Kildare Stables (8 miles from Troutbeck), offers private and group classes tailored to each student’s level, on the flat or over fences.

5. Scottish Highland Cattle Farm Tour + Carriage Rides

It's difficult to do justice of the cuteness of the Scottish Highland Cattle of Elk Ravine Farm, right here in Amenia. We also cannot over-emphasize how much fun the experiences at the ranch are. Book a tour and carriage ride for the whole family.

6. Art! Art! Art!

We are lucky beyond measure to work so closely (hand in hand and in close proximity to) Wassaic Project, the extraordinary non-profit arts organization in the next town over. In addition to their ongoing exhibits -- currently A Space Between Worlds, their Art Nest is open every Saturday (2-5pm) for any child to come in (with an adult) and make art. Want an easy, relaxed and delicious meal right after? Visit our friends at Lantern Inn, for woodfire pizza and satiating sides. Nearby, Studio 44 offers both a work and gallery space, helmed by local artist Claudia Munro Kerr, while slightly further afield at FotoDiary Gallery in Kent.

7. Parents, you're the ones reading this, so consider yourselves aswell:

relish our Wellness offerings — daily fitness + mat classes included in room rates; Wildsmith Treatments, including facials, massages, salt scrubs + many more; further nuanced private sessions from astrology to acupuncture, personal training to Pilates, with our lauded practitioners.

We support our extraordinary local libraries as places to learn for all ages. The Hotchkiss Library of Sharon (5 minutes) and Millbrook Library (18 minutes), both offer program for young ones as part of their ongoing offerings. If you are traveling with little ones, consider joining for some community reading and play time in a cozy setting.

9. Skeet Shooting + Fly Fishing

For those 12 years and older, sign up for some outdoor instruction at Orvis Sandanona (20 minutes from Troutbeck). Wingshooting, upland hunting and flyfishing one and two-day private instruction is available. Of course, all the gear is available to purchase or borrow right there at the Orvis shop.

10. Sunny Day Play

The funnest playground around is in nearby Stanfordville at their Recreation Center. It has an enormous fort-like structure for climbing, sliding, swinging and pretending, a zipline, whirlywheel, and special area for those under five.

11. Yes, there is a local zoo with over 170 species...

Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School (8 miles from Troutbeck) is the only zoo at a high school in America. With over 170 species of both indigenous and endangered wildlife, all cared for by students for environmental science and animal behavior study, the zoo is an extraordinary place to visit for children of all ages.

Millerton: Oblong Books, Westerlind, Montage Antiques + frankly all of main street!

13. Extraordinary Dining Close By

There are so places to eat well in our corner of Dutchess County (and just beyond!). We love to dine at Stissing House, Pink House, White Hart Inn, Wassaic Lantern Inn, Willa Bar in Millerton, and for very kid-friendly, peasy lunch there, Oakhurst Diner.

14. Dining at Troutbeck

As close as you can get, right where you are staying, in fact, is our best-in-category, farm-to-fork dining. Executive Chef Vinny Gilberti, sources from our region, even in the cold and spring months, with aplomb, finding extraordinary ways to make cold weather-staples sing.
