The Seclusion
A Hidden Treasure
The beauty and magic of The Seclusion has been known to take guests' breath away. A true Shenandoah Valley treasure, this private wooded retreat sits high on 72 acres backed by endless mountain landscapes, lush woodlands and wildflower meadows. The modern 6,000-square-foot private event venue is located just 14 miles from historic Lexington and taps into the owner's European travels with inspired design touches. Expect expansive outdoor seating areas and a luxurious barn with warm oak post and beam timbers, creamy shiplap walls, old-world lighting and eight-foot French veranda doors.
Host an unforgettable wedding reception in the barn, dancing on polished hardwood floors, dining under crystal chandeliers and mingling in front of the huge stone fireplace. Guests get comfy and connect in cozy leather seating areas and flow out through French doors onto a large covered veranda. A harmonious union between nature and venue comes together over 360-degree mountain and farmland views and gracious mindful landscaping.
Settle into the Whippoorwill Cottage for a luxurious 4-bedroom 3-bath retreat steps from the venue. Relax and recharge while drinking in the incredible views and relishing in charming design and curated amenities.
