Small Group Spaces

Stone House Library

The Stone House Library is the original 1772 Dutch stone house, fully restored and enhanced with 21st-century green building features. Hand-hewn reclaimed beams and stone pillars from a nearby ancient ruin invite guests to relax and enjoy the extensive donated library of books on spiritual and social transformation. Insulated with recycled newspaper, the thick stone walls keep the room cool in summer and warm in winter. Guests can gather for music around the grand piano or curl up and read in the roomy window seats. This cozy and intimate room adjoining the dining room accommodates up to 25 people.

Cedarheart Lodge

CedarHeart Lodge is a special and multi-purpose space featuring a rare and ancient old growth elm tree as a vertical support pillar. The custom fireplace is at the center of a hand-built stone wall utilizing local quartz conglomerate and native bluestone. A hand-built walnut “S” bar, reclaimed from a local hunting lodge, tempts guests to rest and relax while looking out to the Catskills and the private stone courtyard that connects to the kitchen. CedarHeart Lodge may be used as a dining hall or break-out space and comfortably doubles as a communal sleeping quarters for up to six guests with a half bath. Depending on the occasion, CedarHeart Lodge is perfect for 10 to 50 people.
