Where Heritage Meets Innovation for Inspiring Corporate Retreats

Nestled on our 200-acre estate, Strathmere offers a unique blend of rich history and modern amenities, perfect for your next corporate gathering. Our three distinct venues - the historic Farmhouse, the rustic Lodge, and the serene Garden House - each tell a story of our evolution from an 1825 dairy farm to a European-style folk school, and now, a haven for corporate rejuvenation and team building.

Our Historic Estate

At Strathmere, the past intersects the present, offering a unique backdrop for corporate events and team-building retreats. The 1860 Farmhouse stands as a testament to our agricultural roots, while the Lodge, once a hub of creativity and community learning, now hosts gatherings with timeless charm. Our Garden House embodies our commitment to nature and wellness. Each venue features professional meeting spaces, high-speed Wi-Fi, and modern AV equipment, adjacent to fieldstone fireplaces and patios overlooking scenic grounds to enjoy during breaks.  

Our experienced event coordinators will work with you from start to finish. From setting up the room most effective for your meeting, while our culinary staff keeps your attendees well fed – from your morning coffee to late night bites, and everything in between.

The changing seasons provide diverse environments for team activities and outdoor sessions. From autumn strategy planning amidst vibrant foliage to winter leadership retreats in a serene, snow-covered landscape, Strathmere offers an inspiring setting for corporate gatherings year-round.
