Ancestral Acres Lodge and Barn

Designed as a versatile blank canvas, the open-plan layout features twelve floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, thirty-two skylights, and ten tall windows that flood the space with natural light. Surrounded by forested woodlands and a serene pond, the climate-controlled architecture allows for an indoor-outdoor feel in any season. Whether the doors are open to the summer breeze or closed for a cozy winter gala, the barn offers an enchanting, light-filled setting for your celebration.

Tucked away on the third floor of the historic mansion, the Ballroom offers a dramatic and intimate atmosphere for ceremonies or receptions. This majestic space is defined by its two-story vaulted, gabled ceilings and panoramic views of the sprawling 450-acre estate. Abundant natural light pours through carefully placed windows, highlighting the architectural detail of this unique setting.

The estate’s crown jewel is the 1880s Queen Anne mansion, a grand setting for wedding weekends and pre-wedding celebrations. The interior boasts sophisticated entertainment spaces, including a formal dining room, gourmet kitchen, and spacious parlors ideal for rehearsal dinners or bridal showers. Beyond the common areas, the mansion offers elegant multi-bedroom lodging, allowing your inner circle to stay together on-site. With its historic architecture and refined atmosphere, it serves as a stately home base for preparations, providing a seamless and private experience from the first toast to the final farewell.

Surrounded by the sounds of nature and picturesque views as far as the eye can see, Ancestral Acres provides several dramatic outdoor settings for your ceremony. You can exchange your vows in front of our large picturesque pond, near the barn for a rustic setting, or on our two-acre lawn with a beautiful forest backdrop.
