Discover Unique Venues for Your Next Retreat 🌿

Hi First name / there, welcome to the inaugural LHS (Luxury Hospitality Sales) newsletter.

We’re delighted to be starting this conversation with you and to share a little more of what we see, learn, and recommend as we work alongside clients and partners planning meetings, retreats, and celebrations throughout the year.

One of the things we enjoy most about our work is helping you discover venues you may not otherwise have found, and making what can often feel like a complex process feel simpler and more enjoyable along the way.

In each issue, we’ll share practical planning insights, highlight properties we feel are especially worth knowing about, and include recommendations from the wider world of hospitality that have caught our attention.

We hope you find it both useful and inspiring.

Fresh Air & Fresh Ideas

We’re seeing more and more meetings and events move beyond traditional city settings and into nature-led destinations…

Ranches, farms, vineyard estates, and countryside properties are becoming the backdrop for gatherings where people want space to think clearly, connect more easily, and step away from the pace of day-to-day life.

There’s something about being surrounded by open landscapes and nature that changes the tone of a meeting. Conversations feel more focused, time together feels more intentional, and the overall experience becomes something people genuinely remember.

Here are three properties we especially like for groups looking to be inspired by nature and for that shift in atmosphere…

The LHS Top 3 Picks

It's all about the honeybees! Just outside Nashville, Southall offers a thoughtful balance between luxury hospitality and working farmland across more than 400 acres.

What makes this property particularly distinctive is how naturally the experiences connect guests to the land. From guided apiary tours to the honey extraction experiences paired with local bourbon, everything feels immersive without being overly structured.

It’s a wonderful setting for leadership groups looking for a slower pace and space for meaningful conversation.

If you're looking for space and perspective, Montana delivers both. The Resort at Paws Up spans thousands of acres of wilderness and offers experiences such as horseback riding, fly fishing, wellness programming, and private dining in extraordinary surroundings.

Alongside it, The Green O provides a more secluded adults-only retreat set within the forest, with a small collection of architecturally striking accommodations designed for privacy and reflection.

Together, they create an environment that feels expansive, calm, and completely removed from the everyday.

For smaller gatherings where privacy is key Twin Farms remains one of the most distinctive properties in the country.

Set across 300 acres of Vermont countryside, the estate is particularly well suited to exclusive buyouts, with approximately 20 accommodations across cottages and private houses, allowing guests to take over the property in its entirety.

It’s a wonderful setting for groups looking to spend time together somewhere quiet, beautiful, and completely their own.

Thanks for being here First name - it’s lovely to have you with us.
