The farm is the venue.
The mission is the magic.
Gather in Nature,
Celebrate with Purpose
Glynwood is set on a 250-acre working farm in Cold Spring, New York, a place where regenerative agriculture and genuine hospitality come together. When you celebrate here, you're not just booking a venue. You're supporting a mission.
A breathtaking lakefront farm in the Hudson Valley exclusively yours.
From the 1920s fieldstone manor house to a private lakeside boathouse, Glynwood's spaces are as varied as the events they host. Wander through the apple orchard. Gather fireside. Wake up to a farm-style breakfast. There's nowhere quite like it, and yes, it's even better in person.
Our Spaces
The Boathouse | The Boathouse a beloved space and our most popular event spaces for more intimate events. It is the perfect spot to host your casual dinner while overlooking the lake.
Tent Patio | Surrounded by forest and framed by a breathtaking view of the Perkins House, the tented patio is where your vision gets to run wild. A dedicated hardscape surface with serious electrical capacity means your tent, your lighting, your entire aesthetic can come to life without compromise.
Perkins House | The Perkins House is a 1920s fieldstone house that can accommodate 22 guests with 10 guest rooms. The first floor of the Perkins House can be used as event space. You can wander the halls to find a dining room, living room, library and study.
The Farmhouse | Our 1700s Farmhouse can accommodate up to 12 guests with six guest rooms.
Appledore Cottage | This quaint cottage has three bedrooms and can accommodate up to eight guests.
The Orchard | The orchard needs very little introduction and even less decoration. Ancient apple and pear trees create a natural canopy of shade and beauty, with farm views drifting in between the branches. It's the kind of space that makes guests put their phones away and just be present. We love it for cocktail hours, but honestly, it's magical at any hour.

Glynwood's mission is to cultivate just and resilient food systems so that farmers, land, and communities thrive.

Pass a lazy summer day at Glynwood. The farm is bursting with greenery and sunshine, the days warm and meandering.

Then take the trail down to our boathouse and dip your feet in Perkins Lake to cool off. Wave to the cows in the pasture as you walk back up to the main house. Then watch the sunset from the terrace overlooking the farm. In the evening, wind down with a good book amidst the fireflies and the chirping of crickets.

Glynwood in the fall
Daytime temps: 62°-73°
Evening temperature: 40°-55°
The fall is a time of harvest and abundance at Glynwood. The air turns crisp and clean, and the entire farm glows in lovely shades of burnt amber, bronze, and scarlet. Our piglets arrive in early Fall, tumbling and squealing in the pastures. The 150 year old apple trees in our orchard turn heavy with fruit, and our farm store is overflowing with beautiful squash and leafy greens. It’s the perfect time to hike the surrounding trails of Fahnestock State Park and take in the changing foliage. Stop to take in the views at Jordan Pond. Then cozy up by the fire pit in the evening with a warm mug of spiced apple cider.
