If you have been dreaming, like me, of a weekend away filled with massages, yoga classes, meals you don’t cook and beds you don’t make (and perhaps family you don’t see), Troutbeck, the country inn positioned on 250 acres of wilderness and trout-packed streams in Amenia, N.Y., is the perfect respite. The hotel — which has 36 cozy rooms and three stand-alone cottages, all decorated by the New York City firm Champalimaud Design — has just opened the Barns, a series of newly constructed, spare wellness cabins built from reclaimed larch wood and outfitted with HEPA air filtration systems. In the Long Barn, one can experience a massage, facial acupuncture with specialist FonLin Nyeu and a personal training session in the gym. Meanwhile, in the 1,250-square-foot whitewashed Tall Barn, private yoga, Tai Chi and guided meditation sessions are available along with classes in Kinesoma, a blend of Qi Gong, dance and Feldenkrais that’s meant to brighten your mood and calm your nerves. From $240 per night; 515 Leedsville Road, Amenia, N.Y.; troutbeck.com.
