A place to connect.
Corporate retreats, team building, and events that bring people together – from focused executive meetings to full-company training. Private property. Real technology. The kind of setting that changes the dynamic before the agenda starts.
Start with what you want your people to walk away with.
"I want our team to actually bond."
Not just attend an event. Come back to the office different.
"I want it to feel worth the trip."
Private property. No distractions. A setting that changes the dynamic before the agenda starts.
"I want leadership focused – not managing logistics."
A working cattle farm. On-property lodging. A prepared setting so your people can be present instead of building the room.
"I want it to be the one people still talk about."
The retreat by the creek. The bonfire after the session. The golf afternoon that became a legend.
What should be different because your people came?
A retreat can fill a schedule without changing a team. Story Design with Marie helps draw out the outcome beneath the agenda, then connects the setting, sessions, meals, adventures, and defining moments around it.

Staff Retreats & Trainings
Hosted for multiple businesses. The stack is the differentiator: working-farm privacy, on-property lodging, a full excursion menu, a 72" screen and sound system for sessions, and proximity to I-85 and the Lavonia airport. Fly your leadership in. Keep them focused. Send them back different.

Company Celebrations
We go all-in for the holidays. The room transforms every November and December – trees, lights, garland, the full seasonal treatment. For the company party that actually feels like an event, not a default booking.

Team Building & Company Field Days
A working cattle farm. A creek. A hayride. Clays, outdoor games, and enough room that your team never feels like they're on top of each other. Corporate field days and outdoor team-building events at The Shed give your people a full day outside the office dynamic – and outside means actually outside, not a hotel ballroom with the blinds open.
The property handles the scale. You bring the team.

For smaller groups, the houses work differently.
Harrison House and Hilltop Manor aren't just wedding accommodations. For executive teams of 6–16, they function as high-quality off-site housing with boardroom-style intimacy. A leadership retreat that stays on the property – no hotel lobbies, no elevator conversations, no one checking out at noon.
