What people come here to do

  • Day retreats

    Yoga in the plant room, lunch at the long table, a walk by the reservoir.

  • Corporate off-sites

    A 100-inch screen for the deck, two desks for the calls, and a library for the breakout.

  • Baby and bridal showers

    The garden for photos, and a kitchen and long table that can handle a real spread.

  • Garden celebrations

    Small weddings, anniversaries and family reunions in the garden.

  • Photo and content sessions

    The library wall, the glass plant room, the pond and the fireplaces all photograph well.

  • Seasonal gatherings

    Fall foliage weekends, holiday dinners and winter brunches by the fire.

What you have to work with

A table for twelve
A handmade dining table that seats twelve, next to a chef’s kitchen with an induction range and a stocked spice rack.
A 100-inch screen
The projector room runs a slide deck as happily as a film, with surround sound and seating for a small team.
Breakout rooms
The library, the glass plant room and several fireside sitting areas, so a group can split up without leaving the house.
Desks that work
A proper office with two desks for whoever has to step out for a call.
The garden
Over an acre of paths, a pond, a patio with string lights and a gazebo for the photographs.
Help with the food
Jillian can recommend local caterers and personal chefs who know the kitchen.

The ground rules

The house sits on a quiet residential street with close neighbors, and we intend to stay on good terms with them. Gatherings are daytime events, sized to the house, and agreed with Jillian ahead of time. Parties, amplified music outdoors and late evenings are not a fit. If you are unsure whether your plan works, ask. She will tell you honestly.

Staying overnight as well? The house sleeps fourteen.
