Winvian, a 113-acre resort in Litchfield Hills, Conn., has an ego as big as its grounds. The website's home page is long on hyperbole and short on specifics:
A place like this is difficult to describe, for it lacks nothing. Winvian aspires to host you with no airs but graces, no extravagance or opulence, only warmth and treats. The cuisine, the wines, the spa and the team are as unexpected as the experiences that one might wish to enjoy -- carefree with no need for purple prose, this or that, something or other. A flight of fancy, a leap of faith, pie in the sky.
Wha?! Sounds like these people spent too much time holed up in the woods. This place better be nice, because rooms cost way more than the EconoLodges we usually crash at when stuck in the country. For autumn, the resort has several packages. "Fall Getaway" includes a $50 spa certificate and a bottle of champagne. Rooms start at $999 per night.
For those wanting to avoid the extended family in November, the "Thanksgiving Escape" package starts at $5,000 for a three-nights stay. It comes with champagne, thanksgiving dinner, spa treatments for both guests, a cheese and wine platter, and a $50 credit. Better hope you get a sweet year-end bonus this year.

Other packages include the "Yoga Wellness Escape" starting at $4,000 for two nights, the "Sweetheart Getaway" starting at $3,300 for two nights. And the priciest of them all is the three-night "Over the Top New Year's Celebration," starting at $5,899. This one packs in the champagne, massages, included meals, champagne toast, and even a guided snowshoe trip.
The complex, which bills itself as a quiet getaway from the hustle of everyday life, is about a two-hour drive from New York City. We imagine Robin Leach describing these amenities on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. No mortal can afford these kind of indulgences.
