Unlike larger hotels, your group will share our facility with no one. The estate, mansion, grounds, lake and recreational facilities are yours exclusively for your entire stay. Unlike larger hotels, we tailor meals, housekeeping and other services around your schedule, not ours. Peruse our website or call us to determine if our facility would be appropriate for your gathering. If you feel we can contribute to the meeting goals you have in mind, please feel free to contact us for additional information including group rates. In the meantime, we invite you to explore the rest of our site to see all that the Inn at Lake Joseph has to offer.

"There is no doubt that this inn is the definitive small meeting venue within three hours of New York City."

"We liked the idea of having the entire inn to ourselves. For the first time, we didn't feel like small fish in a big pond."

"The rooms were comfortable, the food was good, the facilities were fun and our meeting was a success."
