THE WYLDER-WINDHAM EXPERIENCE

“FOR ME, VISITING GREENE COUNTY IS A MUST DO AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR SINCE I FIRST VISITED 2 YEARS AGO. I LOVE THAT YOU CAN SET A PACE THAT WORKS FOR YOU. WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE ADVENTUROUS OR TAKE THINGS SLOW, BOTH OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. AND BEING SURROUNDED BY THE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES REALLY JUST DOES IT FOR ME!”

you can kick back on a porch or balcony, warm up by a fireplace while playing a game of backgammon, or wander the grounds that are dotted with “Wylder moment” opportunities. Tree swings, hammocks, two wood-fired saunas, fire pits, bocce, and a streamside pickleball court are just a few of the wonders. Add-ons, such as private pickleball clinics, a personal campfire with a bottle of wine and s’mores kits, and e-bike rentals with to-go picnic breakfasts cater to visitors’ motivations to embrace the outdoor beauty of Windham.

Golfers can enjoy the proximity of Windham Country Club, which is open to non-members and borders Wylder. Skiers and snowboarders can catch a Wylderowned vintage Range Rover shuttle to Windham Mountain, which is just minutes away.

Not to be overlooked, the resort boasts a centrally located, downright large, in-ground, heated pool with inviting chaise lounges on each side.

Of the 110 amply-sized guest rooms, 84 have oversized balconies with views of the mountain, the stream, the golf green and the adjacent Windham Path–an ADA-compliant, 1.5-mile loop that winds through fields and woodlands.

Only 2.5 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Boston, Wylder Windham is for anyone from anywhere looking for an escape to a place of sublime beauty and four-season fun–be it for families, individuals, business groups or wedding parties.

The menu at the onsite Babblers Restaurant melds Wylder-style whimsy with mouth-watering throwback favorites, like a mac & cheese made with orecchiette and six-cheese bechamel and the option to decadently top with pulled pork, a “Wyldorf salad” with the classic fixings plus candied walnuts and lemon creme fraîche.

Cheeky-titled menu items like “This Fish Ain’t Farmed,” “Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf” and “A Legit Cheeseburger” underscore Flannigan’s intention that the Babbler, like Wylder Windham itself, be fun, not fussy, and a place where tourists and locals alike rub shoulders and raise their glasses together.

With so much to offer and timeless panache, Wylder’s charm is sure to draw back guests year after year–winter, spring, summer and fall. You might say Wylder Windham is made of the same magical elements that differentiate a rock from a gemstone: beauty, durability and rarity.
