Special Birthdays | Family Reunions

Unhurried Private Celebrations
​
Your special celebration here feels more like a weekend retreat than a loud dinner in a crowded room. Guests arrive, settle in, and gather in this grand mansion as your private home: a relaxed welcome gathering, unhurried, with wine (maybe from your personal collection), a long table dinner, and time for conversations and play.
​
The pace is intentional. The details are thoughtful. The space is exclusively yours.
​
Why the Berkshires?
​
The Berkshires have long been a sanctuary for those seeking a "Great Estate" lifestyle. From the beautiful gardens at Edith Wharton's home and Naumkeag, to the comfortable elegance of Ethelwynde, these properties offer a sense of permanent, grounded luxury that a modern hotel cannot replicate. Here you can create weekends that feel like a private home residency.
An Immersive Weekend
The estate becomes yours—entirely. Thirteen bedrooms and amenities for all ages. Trees that have matured for 150 years. Rooms that accommodate both formal meals, family meetings, and quiet conversation.
​
No meal time limits. No vendor restrictions. No fluorescent-lit conference rooms masquerading as dining rooms. Just a gracious home, thoughtfully appointed, where your vision can unfold at the pace it deserves.
Quiet Luxury
We do not advertise widely. We barely maintain social media. We serve a small number of discerning couples and families each year who value craft over spectacle, substance over style, and who understand that the most memorable celebrations are often understated and unplanned.
​
If this approach resonates with you, we would welcome your inquiry.
