The Creekside Room is an approximately 1,000 square foot space located adjacent to the Dining Hall. Clerestory and picture windows along with a partial cathedral ceiling give this room an abundance of natural light and space. A wood-burning fireplace and plenty of dimmable lighting offer the perfect ambience for evening events as well. Two glass doors open to a deck facing trees and the creek, allowing for the soothing sounds of the brook in the background and creating an ideal spot for a scenic break-out space during warmer months.
