Retreats & Gatherings

A different perspective on getting together. Set above Squam Lake in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, Van Horn Estate offers a distinctive setting for bringing people together. Our historic estate combines thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, comfortable accommodations, exceptional dining, and restorative experiences in an intimate setting surrounded by the beauty of the New Hampshire countryside.

Whether planning a corporate retreat, a family reunion, a wellness getaway, or a private group gathering, we’ll help create an experience tailored to your vision.

Room to Gather

The Mirador offers a light-filled setting for meetings, workshops, group activities, and shared meals. With twenty guest rooms, two distinctive restaurants, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, the estate offers room to connect, unwind, and enjoy time together. For groups seeking a more private experience, a full-property buyout offers exclusive use of the estate and the flexibility to welcome guests of all ages, creating a setting that feels entirely your own.

An Experience for Every Group

Corporate Retreats

Step away from the usual routine for strategic planning, leadership sessions, team building, or client gatherings. Dedicated meeting space, thoughtful dining, and opportunities to recharge create a productive balance of work and connection.

Family Reunions & Private Gatherings

Bring generations together for a family reunion, milestone celebration, or gathering with friends. With a full-property buyout, your group can enjoy the estate together, with the freedom to make the experience your own and welcome family members of all ages.

Wellness Retreats

Create space to restore and reconnect with a retreat centered on well-being. Seasons Spa, the heated outdoor pool, peaceful surroundings, and opportunities for movement, relaxation, and shared meals provide a natural foundation for a restorative group experience.

Creative & Special-Interest Retreats

From culinary and wine experiences to workshops, club gatherings, and other shared pursuits, the estate offers a welcoming backdrop for groups brought together by a common interest.

More Than a Place to Stay

Our twenty guest rooms offer refined accommodations for overnight gatherings. Guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast each morning, seasonal dining at the Van Horn Dining Room or The Isaac Bistro & Pub, and time to unwind at Seasons Spa or beside the heated outdoor pool.

Beyond the estate, the Lakes Region offers opportunities for scenic hikes, private boating excursions on Squam Lake, and creative experiences with local artisans. We’re happy to help explore activities suited to your group, its interests, and the season. Thoughtfully Planned, Personally Hosted

Every gathering has its own purpose. Our team will work with you to coordinate accommodations, meeting or gathering spaces, dining, and optional experiences, bringing the details together into a cohesive stay. Whether you envision a focused working retreat, a restorative escape, or several generations gathered under one roof, Van Horn Estate offers a setting where time together becomes the centerpiece.
