About this venue

This historic Japanese garden and summer cottage were built at the turn of the last century. A private estate spanning 125 acres of gardens, fields, streams, mountains and trails, it has remained in the same family all this time. The garden is recognized as an important example of the Japanese “strolling” garden from that era. Because the estate remains in private hands, it is made available by the family for special occasions on a limited basis (2-3 ceremonies per year.) Dates are flexible. The venue includes the Japanese garden and the surrounding meadows and fields. Packages can include some use of the main house and separate guest house. Whether you are looking for a location for engagement photos, a rehearsal dinner/welcome drinks, a formal wedding ceremony and reception, or a destination wedding site for enjoyment with guests over a long weekend of fun, hiking, fly-fishing etc., this venue offers rare access to an exclusive, one-of-a-kind destination.

  • A Peaceful Catskills Hideaway

    •Sloane•a year ago

    Working on an estate always holds a special place as a photographer. There's something unique about being on a property that a family holds near and dear to their heart, and you can tell that thought and care is put into every detail and every space, honoring where they came from and embracing what's ahead. When I familiarized myself with the property upon arrival I was continuously met with various opportunities to take gorgeous portraits, and I used each of them to really tell the story of where we were and the wedding we were celebrating. The grounds are beautifully kept and the tented reception complimented the property perfectly. If you're looking for a unique venue that is understated but nonetheless special, this is the place for you.

    So, I had been working with this family to be there caterer at the venue and then the pandemic hit. We postponed and postponed and finally, after almost two years of waiting we managed to get the event up and running and executed perfectly! It was truly a wonderful event. One of the most striking and important part of the event was the location. The grounds, hand sculpted by the families heir, and the hand built home are both stunning and unique. They offer a rustic but well thought out and lovingly crafted location to really create some memories and moments which will last a lifetime! Although it is not currently a location with all the bells and whistles (you need to provide your own bathrooms for example) it is a location that is special and unique and worth every minute you spend there.
