Nestled atop the hill with valley views... have your next event here and enjoy the backdrop of wildflower meadows, charming ponds, and gorgeous forest! We are located in the scenic southern Finger Lakes region of NY.

If you are interested in hosting your next work or family social event at Tanglewood, please contact our Office Manager, Deanna, to get a sense of what we can offer. We look forward to working with you to make your event successful, sustainable, and fun! 

We have two buildings and a picnic pavilion available for rental. The largest building is our Nature Center, which includes a spacious auditorium, the exhibit halls, spacious decks overlooking the pond, and a cozy library.  We also have the Lodge, an educational and rental space with a beautiful post-and-beam frame and a large deck leading out to the fields - the virtual tour above begins in the Lodge, and you can click and drag your way to the Nature Center to explore the exhibit halls there. 

Finally, we can offer an outdoor picnic pavilion by the pond. You can read more about our standard rental pricing by viewing our rental contract here: Rental Pricing and Contract 2024.  For more information, please call us at (607) 732-6060 or email Deanna. Please call ahead for appointments.

THE LODGE IS UNAVAILABLE FOR RENTALS FROM JUNE 23, 2024 THROUGH AUGUST 30, 2024.
