Imagine two cottages, neighbors in the forest, telling two different tales. At Twin Farms, a Relais & Chateaux resort in Vermont, contrast is no accident – it’s an invitation. The Log Cabin and the Aviary cottages stand side by side; one wrapped in rustic charm and the other with contemporary design.

Inside the Log Cabin

The Log Cabin’s hand-hewn hickory and oak finishings create a feeling of comfort. The fine cabinetry and twig work celebrate the artistry of the woods. The river-rock fireplace glows, inviting you to cozy up and gaze at the stars, while a rope hammock sways on the porch, perfect for reading a book. Inside, a modern soaking tub provides quiet relaxation after a day exploring the trails.

The cabin’s playful devotion to dogs makes it feel as loyal as your four-legged companion. The Log Cabin is an ode to seclusion, to tradition and the joy of being tucked away in the woods.

Inside the Aviary

Just steps away, a new world unfolds. Designed by architect Peter Bohlin, the two-story Aviary rises above in glass, stone and cedar. Its floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the beauty of trees. The fireplace crackles, while a stone hot tub steams, perfect for a tranquil evening among the treetops.

Where the Log Cabin comforts, the Aviary awakens. The open space and tall ceilings invite quiet wonder, a place to simply be and watch as the evening unfolds.

The Beauty of Contrast

It’s no fluke that these two cottages sit beside each other. The Log Cabin tells the story of a rustic retreat while the Aviary provides modern imagination. One is a fireside novel, the other a poem of glass and sky. Together, they remind us of the beauty in contrast, each making the other shine.

This season, let your choice set the rhythm. Linger with coffee on the Log Cabin’s porch or greet the sunlight through the Aviary’s glass walls. At Twin Farms, contrast isn’t just design, it’s an invitation to experience beauty in more than one form. Your secluded Vermont cottage awaits.
