Home Events Private Events

A venue that was
born to celebrate.

Rehearsal dinners, corporate retreats, birthdays, and private parties in a timber-framed venue with the Massanutten as your backdrop — an hour from DC.

The Big Barn

Hundreds of celebrations.
Every one different.

The timber-framed barn has hosted hundreds of reunions, retreats, parties, and celebrations. It wasn't built to be a venue — it was built to last, and it does.

The Big Barn's main event space seen from the mezzanine — wagon-wheel chandeliers, round tables, and the live-edge bar

CapacityUp to 250 Guests

Birthdays & Milestones

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and reunions — take over the Mezzanine or the whole barn, with a full bar, custom catering, and the Massanutten as your backdrop.

Rehearsal Dinners & Gatherings

Intimate evenings in the barn or out at the gazebo patio. Custom catering, brewery pours, and a setting that does more for the mood than any decorator ever could.

Corporate Retreats & Private Events

An hour from DC and Tysons Corner. Flexible indoor-outdoor spaces, brewery tours, custom menus, and the kind of atmosphere that turns a "work event" into something people actually talk about afterward.

Golden Acre Events

Gatherings rooted
in beauty and grace.

The Barn and taproom are available for private events or group reservations — whichever suits your day. With multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, you and your guests will feel right at home.
