From the moment guests arrive, there’s a sense of awe. Sweeping mountain views, open fields, and thoughtfully designed spaces create a setting that feels both expansive and intimate. Every detail has been intentionally crafted to honor the natural surroundings while delivering a seamless, elevated experience for modern weddings.

Blending refined design with modern amenities, The Sablewood is as welcoming as it is striking—offering comfort, beauty, and ease in every season.

With access to charming towns, boutique accommodations, and endless activities—from hiking and skiing in Windham to lakeside escapes near Lake George—your celebration becomes more than a single day. It becomes an unforgettable destination wedding weekend.

Two Stunning Barns

Our property features two stunning climate-controlled celebration barns—the Sablewood, our historic black barn, and the Charlington, our classic white barn. Both are thoughtfully designed with ADA accessibility and onsite restrooms, offering a seamless, worry-free experience for your guests in any season.

Expansive Property

Encircled by mountain vistas, our 120-acre private farm offers multiple unique locations for ceremony, cocktail hour, and evening entertainment. From the meticulously manicured grounds, lush gardens, hilltop hay fields, forests, and spring-fed ponds, the property is an endless adventure of natural beauty.
