Weddings

Say yes on the shores of Lake Champlain

An outdoor ceremony beneath the trees, a reception under a lit-up tent that carries on late into the night — the estate transforms entirely for your wedding. With 17 bedrooms on site, your guests only need to cross the lawn to join the party, and no one but your own group sets foot on the estate during your stay.

More Than a Meeting Room

Great corporate retreats happen when people have the space to focus, connect and spend meaningful time together.

Your group enjoys exclusive access to the property, giving your team the freedom and privacy to organize the retreat around your own schedule.

Whether you're presenting to the entire team or dividing into smaller working groups, the estate gives you the flexibility to organize your day around your objectives.
