Venue Features

The scene

Nestled in a tranquil glen, the historic 30-acre estate overlooks Sugarloaf Mountain. The stone barn ruin with it's post and beam pergola offers the perfect setting for cocktails or a wedding ceremony. It overlooks the stream-fed pond and historic stone springhouse. As dusk descends, guests can enjoy the flickering light of a roaring fire in the stone firepit. The rolling grounds and stunning stonework connecting the different venue sites offer endless photographic opportunities.

Design

Our lovingly restored barn ruin offers a magical setting to mingle with guests. The manor house, built in the 1850s from salvaged B&O railroad ties, includes a bridal suite floor furnished with sumptious antiques. The large stone steps and patio give the historic estate a timeless quality that celebrates the agrarian past, mingling rustic elegance with sophisticated charm.
