SPRING into action at the Mayflower. The first stirrings of warmth, nature and the dappled sunlight make the Mayflower the perfect place to shake off the last traces of winter. The gardens are glorious and the urge to waft through the Maze or simply take one of our seasonal cuisine picnic baskets and head off into the spring-green Steeprock Reserve is irresistible.
It’s also a splendid season to dedicate yourself to improving your winter-neglected body and soul with a yoga sun salutation from the terrace of your suite—or to reserve a full Spa Package of glorious treatments, rituals and classes each designed to meet your own precise needs.
Summer at the Mayflower is one of those quintessential New England experiences that magically supercharge your psyche and your body. Whether you soak up the sun beside our sparkling pool, get in a hard won tennis match, kayak up the Shepaug River—or simply have a drink on the terrace as the sun becomes dusk, at the Mayflower, you’ll feel the unsurpassed luxury of the season in your mind, body and soul as you fully savor the lush joys of the grounds and the season’s temptations.
You’ll also find, whatever it is you need to make your summer getaway even more spectacular, we stand ready. Be it golf privileges, fishing, canoeing or nearby auctions, just ask. There are also a myriad of special events available from vintage car racing to our special Spa Package weekends, you may find as hard to resist as the perfection of our lush green grounds on a brilliant blue sky summer day.
Fall is more than beautiful. Leaf season is hypnotically idyllic at the Mayflower. It seduces every sense. Enchanting, getting away from it all autumnal treats are one of our many specialties -particularly since we have 58 acres of grounds in full crimson brilliance spectacularly well suited for hiking, biking, or climbing before your return to a roaring fireplace and a host of good books. Or just enjoy a day of glorious antiquing, outrageous pampering and world class cuisine. Check with our desk for a list of very special seasonal events.
Winter romance of the Mayflower is the stuff of legend. We’ll provide the snowshoes, the skis, the ice skates and the bonfires. You’ll come home to a crackling fireplaces and perfect feather topped beds encased in the finest Frette linens. It’s a spectacular time for every winter ritual imaginable --including a few that our Spa Package guests will want to enjoy in our luminous new Spa facility with its heated and heavenly thermal sanctuary.
