How the weekend tends to go

Most couples book multiple nights, and many book a full week: stay 7 nights or more and the event fee is waived entirely. Up to 150 guests can join for the day, and there is a bed for 54 of your people, one of them inside a 360-degree pac-maze.

The night is yours

When the last song ends, two escape rooms, the laser maze, karaoke stage, and arcade stay open, and the campfire burns under the trees. Everyone sleeps steps away in 15 game-themed suites.

FAQs

Do we need to approve our event details?

Yes. Every celebration is a hosted event. Share your dates and headcount with us, and our team will help you structure the perfect reservation.

Can day guests attend the reception?

Absolutely. While the estate accommodates 54 guests overnight, your celebration can welcome up to 150 guests for the day. Gatherings over 55 people also carry a 1-day event insurance policy, usually under $300.

Where do our guests stay?

Wedding parties reserve the entire estate, ensuring exclusive access to a bed for all 54 guests across 15 game-themed suites, all situated within the gated grounds.

Are we required to use specific vendors?

No. Your layout, your caterer, your vision. We keep a list of approved local vendors for tables, tents, chairs, planning, music, and food, and if you have someone else in mind, just let us know.

Can we tour the estate prior to booking?

We encourage it. Tours run on guest-transition days, normally between about 10 AM and 4 PM while the house is unoccupied. Contact us and we will find a slot that works.

Is there adequate space for a tent and dance floor?

Yes. The ten acres offer ample, beautifully manicured space for a grand tent, a spacious dance floor, and an unforgettable dinner under the stars.
