The Y at Watson Woods

The Y at Watson Woods is a spacious conference and retreat venue set across 400 acres in the Southern Finger Lakes region of New York. It provides event organisers with a versatile setting for conferences, meetings, retreats, weddings, reunions, birthday celebrations, graduation parties and larger community gatherings.

The venue combines indoor event facilities with extensive outdoor space. Organisers can choose from two large event rooms, a dozen adaptable meeting areas, a chapel, dining facilities and a spacious pavilion. The chapel can accommodate up to 200 guests, with additional seating available in the extension, while the pavilion offers a more informal option for picnics, outdoor celebrations and relaxed wedding receptions.

Accommodation is available on site, with hotel rooms, dormitory rooms and cabins suitable for groups of approximately 15 to 225 people. The venue can provide dining and catering for events of up to 300 guests, helping organisers coordinate accommodation, meals and event space in one location.

Guests can also make use of the property’s hiking trails, sports courts, fields, disc golf, pickleball, climbing facilities, fire pits and other outdoor amenities. These features make the venue well suited to residential conferences, team retreats, family gatherings and activity-based programmes. With flexible rooms, overnight facilities, catering and a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities, The Y at Watson Woods offers an adaptable event setting for both private and professional organisers.
