Worth knowing

  • Lodging comes in 22-person cabins ($315 or $500 a night depending on cabin age) plus Founders Lodge, eight double rooms with a board room and conference room.
  • The 2026-2027 rate sheet, updated February 2026, also prices meals ($12, $12.50, $13.50 per person), $10 linens and a $5 per-person admin fee that includes guard-house parking.
  • Meeting space is large: Sutton Hall holds 350 per hall and the Talmadge Auditorium has fixed seating for 1,230.
  • Recreation on site includes a lake with canoeing, two pools, a ropes course, mini golf and tennis courts.
  • The page set does not give a total bed count or number of cabins, so group size above 22 depends on cabin availability.

  1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
  2. Are pets allowed?
  3. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
  4. What is the minimum stay?
