Farms and Gardens

Glynwood Farm’s heritage stretches back to the 1700s. Its centerpiece is an immense barn, a 16,000-square-foot, post-and-beam wonder that is over 150 years old. It once housed cows that supplied milk for the West Point Military Academy, across the Hudson River. Glynwood is a working farm to this day.

For decades, gardeners have worked their magic in Glynwood’s soil and we continue to embrace that tradition. The result is an array of gardens—sustainably maintained—that not only please the eye but also feed guests at Glynwood and as many as 50 local families.

Grounds

Glynwood is a year-round feast for the senses—the appealing bouquet of spring blooms, the sassy serenade of songbirds, the fresh breeze and vibrant foliage of autumn, and the calming waters of the lake. From a raised bed of lavender and a rock garden graced by a weeping Japanese maple, to the quince orchard, rose garden, and towering hedges of mountain laurel, Glynwood wraps visitors in a blanket of natural beauty.

Guests are encouraged to stroll the grounds, and morning bird walks are a favored activity.  Hikers can enjoy trails that connect with those on adjacent state park land, and the lovely village of Cold Spring is just a short drive away.
