Special Event Sites

The Pecan Orchard

Located to the left and back of the house, tall, mature pecan trees shade the lawn and provide a setting for weddings, reunions, barbecues or low country boils.

The Croquet Lawn

To the right of the cottages, a large flat lawn accommodates a 40 or 60 foot tent for up to 200 guests for lunches, receptions or dinners.

Dining Room

Let us host your next meeting! Luncheons, dinners, teas, showers or other events can be catered or prepared on site in our commercial kitchen. The dining room's many windows overlook the pecan orchard and accommodates 42 with room for additional seating. Two half baths service this area.

Covered Porches

The attached cottage is surrounded on three sides by a wide continuous covered porch, perfect for setting up intimate tables to dine alfresco.
