Dining
European style service with a continental breakfast buffet and dinner by request are available for overnight and program guests. Scheduled meals are catered by a gourmet chef with particular attention paid to your dietary preferences.

Plant and Wildlife
The acreage surrounding Moon Shadow Lodge is home to several protected species of plant life of the quaking bogs which are a unique Southern Adirondack geographic feature. Walking, snowshoeing and skiing trails are cut through the gently rolling forested land to provide easy viewing of the active beaver lodge, deer bedding areas, and black bear dens. Mink, raccoons, wild turkey, ptarmigan, pileated woodpeckers, and great blue heron are also local residents. Views from surrounding mountain peaks are spectacular for photography and gaining an appreciation for the vast surrounding wilderness.

Private and Exclusive Use
Moon Shadow Lodge is available for exclusive use for corporate retreats, workshops, or meetings; private parties, small weddings and/or receptions; and other special events. When privacy is important to your event, our exclusive use option is available year round. Special package rates with or without food service are available. Your guests can have uninterrupted use of the entire facility and walking, snowshoeing trails, pond and stream. Use the Lodge as a jump off point for hiking the thousands of acres of the Adirondack Park with nearby wilderness lakes and forests. Relax in an atmosphere of seclusion. Indoor meeting capacity is 15. Cell phone service is currently unavailable; free WiFi with access to high speed internet is available.

Manage time and resources towards meeting your outcomes. Strategic planning workshops offered by the Facilitation Center provide a proven process for effective strategic planning that accelerates outcomes achievement. The process focuses on structured dialogue, inclusion, consensus-building and decision-making which are useful for creating visions, performance objectives or outcomes, policy formulation, and action planning.

Custom Designs
An international consulting firm, the Facilitation Center custom designs all of its in-house training programs, workshops, and process facilitations to meet the specific needs in outcomes, timeframes, scheduling challenges, and unique characteristics of each organization.

The Lodge was originally a barn constructed circa 1868. In the early 1900’s it was moved to its present location and remodeled into a private home. There is a town-maintained Civil War era family cemetery with 2 marked and 5 unmarked gravesites on the property.
The roughly 37 acre property was purchased in 2003 and completely renovated to serve as a “micro” conference center to house both the Facilitation Center and to accommodate day use and overnight retreat guests. The Lodge features a central use wood stove, reading room, community gathering area and small group meeting space. Great effort was taken in remodeling to retain the original post and beam structure and an Adirondack Great Camp feel.
