Originally a private countryside retreat for authors, activists, and other intellectual giants of the 19th and 20th centuries, Troutbeck has been restored and re-imagined as a welcoming inn for curious, adventurous visitors. The space is decorated with a carefully curated collection of artwork and antiques, and the staff are happy to help arrange cross-country ski excursions nearby. The guest rooms range in size from intimate doubles to spacious suites, and while all boast king-size beds, the maximum occupancy for each room is two people. Breakfast in bed can be arranged, and the hotel restaurant offers a seasonal farm-to-table menu.
