When the Smith family decided to build an exclusive resort in the northwestern Connecticut hills, they wanted to create something different. Really different.
They wound up with Stonehenge in the bathroom, a beaver lodge in the bedroom and a 17,000-pound helicopter in the living room.

Winvian is about to join the ranks of the world's out-of-the-ordinary luxury hotels, a travel category that ranges from unusual and ultra-luxe boutique inns to touristy spectacles drawing more day traffic than overnight guests. They cater to travelers who want something special -- not just a nice view from the bathtub or super-posh toiletries, but the privilege of staying in a tree house, ice room or teepee.
