Corporate & Professional Retreats
Somewhere your team
can hear itself think.
A calm, restorative setting in the Finger Lakes for teams to think clearly and reconnect — with two distinct properties to choose between.
Check AvailabilityWhy Teams Come Here
The offsite that doesn't feel like a conference
Perry City Manors offers thoughtfully designed retreat spaces for leadership teams, academic departments, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations — groups that need focus, privacy, and real connection, away from the distractions of the working week.
There's no conference centre here, no shared lobby, no other group down the hall. You have the property. Large communal rooms hold the whole team; smaller spaces and outbuildings absorb the breakout sessions. When the conversation stalls, people go outside — and it changes.
What Makes It Work
Built for the way retreats actually run
Flexible gathering spaces
Large communal rooms for full-group sessions, with smaller spaces and separate structures for breakouts — without anyone having to book a room.
Comfort that supports focus
Real beds throughout, natural light, and proper kitchens. People who sleep well and eat well show up differently on day two.
Privacy and quiet
A secluded setting with no shared facilities and no interruptions. What's said at the retreat stays at the retreat, literally.
Somewhere to step outside
Trails, fire pits, porches, and open landscape. The most useful conversation of the weekend usually happens on a walk.
Two Retreat Settings
Country compound, or village house
Two genuinely different environments. Which one fits depends on your group's size and what you need the days to feel like.
A private, nature-based compound
A secluded rural property for groups that benefit from both shared gathering and natural separation. Multiple structures mean breakout sessions happen without anyone leaving.
- Sleeps
- Up to 18 across Farm Manor and Barn Manor
- Rooms
- A mix of private bedrooms and shared sleeping spaces, real beds throughout
- Setting
- Trails, fire pits, wildflower meadow, jack pine forest
- Also
- Two full kitchens, ample parking, complete privacy
Additional seasonal capacity is available at Camp SkyTent, where guests can stay in unique tree tents tucked into the woods — roughly six to eight more people, May through October.
A village house for smaller leadership teams
In the village of Trumansburg — historic outside, fully modern inside. Better suited to executive-level groups who want to walk to a café between sessions rather than drive.
- Sleeps
- Up to 13, or about 15 with the Walnut Apartment
- Rooms
- 6 bedrooms across the main house and attached apartment
- Setting
- Seasonal in-ground pool, large fenced backyard, sauna, fireplaces
- Also
- Walkable to cafés and village amenities; the attached apartment suits a facilitator

What Groups Say
From people who've held theirs here
We loved making use of all the outdoor space. The field and trails through the back and the fire pits were wonderful additions. The farm and barn houses were plenty big to fit our group and were exactly what we needed for a weekend away.
It's a lovely spot for a group to gather — comfortable porch, cozy fire pit, and lots of space. The location is quite secluded and peaceful.
A great place for friends to go on retreat. Plenty of space for chats, meals, and much else.
