Imagine a place where privacy is guaranteed, distractions are nonexistent, and every detail is crafted to fit your vision.

Welcome to Edith Macy Center.

Nestled on 406 acres of lush, secluded woodland, Edith Macy Center offers a one-of-a-kind experience that combines total exclusivity with tailored service.

Picture your team bonding, brainstorming, and unwinding in a serene environment that feels miles away from everyday pressures—yet is designed for focus and productivity.

Global Sales Manager Patti Caufield recently shared some insight into why and how retreats at Macy aren’t just productive but transformative.

Three Unique Venues, One Idyllic Location

What truly sets Edith Macy Center apart is its ability to offer three distinctive venues on the same property, allowing you to tailor your event to your specific needs.

The Main Center

With its 200-person auditorium and 52 guest rooms, the Main Center offers organizations complete, private use. Your group can take full control of the experience, creating an event that feels like it’s held in your own personal retreat.

Lakeside Venue

For those who want a more relaxed outdoor experience, the Lakeside Venue offers an indoor/outdoor space that feels like a cozy cabin retreat. Open seasonally from May to October, it’s perfect for informal gatherings that blur the line between work and leisure.

The Gathering Place

A cozy room with a stone fireplace surrounded by chairs and wooden walls, creating an inviting atmosphere.

Tucked away at the top of the property, this venue is perfect for smaller, intimate groups of 20 to 30 people. Its fire pit, outdoor seating, and dedicated breakout rooms make it the ideal setting for leadership retreats or strategy sessions.

These venues offer the ultimate in flexibility—your group can use one, two, or all three spaces during your stay, making it easy to create a fresh, engaging atmosphere every day.

Tailored Experiences with Exceptional Service

One reason clients return to Edith Macy Center year after year is the high level of personalized service.

"We can tailor everything from the meeting spaces to breakout sessions and even team-building activities to fit exactly what the group wants, ensuring their experience is exactly what they need," Patti says.

Edith Macy’s staff knows that every event is unique, and they go above and beyond to ensure they meet every need. From customizing meeting spaces to assisting with team-building activities, the staff takes pride in creating seamless and memorable experiences.

And it’s not just the staff that makes an impression—Edith Macy’s chef plays a crucial role in elevating the experience. Whether a multi-day event or a single-day retreat, the chef crafts the menu to enhance every meal with creative options that energize and satisfy attendees.

All-Inclusive, Transparent Pricing

One of Edith Macy Center's key advantages is pricing transparency.

Rather than navigating complex cost breakdowns, clients appreciate the simplicity of an all-in-one package that covers nearly every aspect of their event. This straightforward approach allows event planners to focus on delivering an outstanding experience instead of ensuring everything fits within the budget.

"What really differentiates us is that everything is included in the package," Patti emphasizes. "It may seem higher at first glance, but when you compare it to venues that charge à la carte, our pricing often offers the best value. You get everything—meeting rooms, food, accommodations, basic AV—without any hidden fees."
