Our team & Services

A dream come true

“We had this dream of combining our love for the Catskills and our home into a majestic and distinct gathering place. We merged the lush beauty of our grounds with bold, inviting event spaces. We scraped, built, planted, and nurtured, forming a talented team that provides genuinely friendly service and great food. And as we have progressed from our first celebrations over fourteen years ago to the unique venue it has become, our dream has come true.”

our culinary team

Executive chef Leah Detreville, pastry chef Kristina Ugenti, and the rest of our culinary team create menus with a passion for good food and good times.

Creating your menu will be a collaboration between you and our chef. Planning your menu will involve conversations about your favorite foods and getting to know your personality and style. Couples are invited to an extensive tasting before a final menu selection.
