Corporate Retreats at The Wilburton
For two decades, RKO Studios and General Tire owned The Wilburton as their private executive retreat center. The same qualities that made this 30-acre hilltop estate valuable to Fortune 500 leadership - privacy, inspiring views, and space for strategic thinking away from daily operations - now serve your organization's most important gatherings.
The Wilburton accommodates corporate groups from 10 to 150 with versatile meeting spaces, professional AV capabilities, full-service catering, and lodging configurations that support everything from executive team strategy sessions to company-wide retreats. The 1902 Wilburton Mansion offers elegant meeting rooms seating 40-90, while the nearby Battenkill Valley Mansion provides dedicated space for teams wanting complete seclusion. Panoramic Green Mountain views from every meeting space create the environment where breakthrough thinking happens. Past clients include Harvard Business School, General Electric, Pfizer, State Farm, CitiBank, and the Young Presidents Organization.

Why Corporations Choose The Wilburton
Privacy That Protects Confidential Discussions
When you rent the Wilburton Mansion or Battenkill Valley Mansion, the property is exclusively yours. No other hotel guests, no competing events, no concerns about competitors overhearing strategy discussions in shared spaces. Present confidential information, plan organizational restructuring, or brainstorm competitive positioning without the security concerns of public hotels.
Environment That Inspires Innovation
Research consistently shows that novel environments stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving. The combination of historic architecture, mountain views, and separation from daily operations creates cognitive conditions where teams think differently. Strategic planning sessions benefit from the mental shift that happens when executives leave familiar offices and gather somewhere that signals "this meeting matters."
Productivity Without Distractions
Your team isn't sneaking back to desks between sessions, checking phones during breaks, or getting pulled into operational fires. Vermont's location four hours from New York creates healthy distance from daily distractions while remaining accessible for busy executives. The result: focused, productive sessions where strategic work actually gets accomplished.
Team Building Through Shared Experience
Staying together on 30 private acres rather than dispersing to separate hotel rooms creates informal bonding opportunities. Evening conversations by fire pits, morning coffee on terraces, shared meals, and Vermont activities build relationships that translate to better workplace collaboration.
