Our Venue

400 acres we own outright.

The Acres isn’t a venue we rent. It’s a venue we built — and one we run ourselves. Four hundred private acres of Pocono Mountain landscape, 2 hours from New York City, with more than 30 indoor and outdoor event spaces across the property. A program can move from a covered general session to an open-air dinner to a full-campus activation without a single guest getting into a vehicle.

Running it takes an operations team of more than 90 people — production, kitchen, grounds, hospitality and guest services — all in-house, all on site for the length of your event. We’ve delivered over 150 private events here, and The Acres has become one of the most sought-after event properties in the Northeast.

One full-campus takeover per event. No other groups. No shared spaces. Just your people.

The Allaway Take

Why we love it here.

We’ve produced 400+ events. Most venues are a compromise. The Acres isn’t. It’s the reason we own it.

It’s a full campus. Not a hotel that tolerates events.

400 acres owned outright. One group at a time. The Lodge, The Barn, The Lake, The Campfire — all exclusive to your event. No other conferences next door. No shared pool decks. No accidental audience.

The infrastructure is already there when you need it.

1-Gig fiber with redundancy. 300+ beds on property. Commercial kitchen. AV-ready barn. Cleared airspace. A 90+ operations team. The things that kill other events’ budgets — we built them in.

People stay on site. And that changes everything.

When your team doesn’t have to commute back to a hotel, they stay up late. They show up early. The conversations happen at the campfire, not the elevator. Proximity is the event.

2 hours from New York City. A world away from the office.

The Poconos feel remote. They’re not. Sprinter van from Midtown to check-in is 2 hours. That’s close enough to say yes to, far enough to actually disconnect. It’s the right distance for what we’re trying to do.

Spaces & Facilities Built for everything.

A barn that seats 500. Thirty-five acres of spring-fed lake. Fifteen tennis courts and eight miles of private trail. Whatever the next hour of your program calls for, it already exists here — and nobody else is using it.

Dining · Social Guests gathered in the main dining room at The Lodge

The Lodge Where the day starts and ends.

Four hundred seats, a full-service bar, a coffee bar and a lounge that never quite empties. The balcony looks out over the flagpole lawn — artificial grass, lawn games, and the spot where a ten-minute morning briefing turns into the conversation nobody put on the run sheet.

Seats 400
Events · Keynotes The Barn set for an evening event overlooking the lake

The Barn Five hundred people. One room.

Portable stage, built-in mood lighting, full AV and private bathrooms — looking straight out over the lake. Outside: picnic tables, solo stoves, fairy lights and an Airstream bar. This is the room you build a closing night around, and it has never once been the reason a show ran late.

Seats 500+
Water · Recreation Swimmers and inflatables on the spring-fed lake

The Lake Thirty-five acres of spring-fed water.

Inflatables, waterslides, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, sailing, waterskiing, tubing and wakeboarding. It is the centerpiece of every summer program we build, and it is the first thing people talk about when they get home. Every single time.

35 Acres · Spring Fed
Activities · Recreation Guests taking part in activities across the grounds at The Acres

The Activities 30+ activities. One playground.

Ropes course, zipline, climbing wall, leap of faith. Fifteen tennis courts — four indoor, eleven out. Beach volleyball, pickleball, a full indoor sports complex and eight miles of private trail. All of it on property, all of it yours, and all of it programmed around your team’s energy rather than a venue’s availability calendar.

Where Everyone Sleeps Three ways to stay. All of them on site.

Nobody drives back to a hotel. Every bed sits inside the property line — which is what lets a program run from breakfast through to the campfire without a shuttle schedule holding it together.

41 Cabins

Cabins

Forty-one standard cabins across the property. The classic Acres stay, and the fastest way to put a large group under a small number of roofs — close enough to each other that the evening never really ends.

90+ New for 2026

Private Rooms

Ninety-plus private rooms, all new for 2026. Hotel-style privacy without leaving the campus — for leadership, for speakers, and for anyone whose week only works if there is a door that closes.

3 Cottages

Cottages

Three self-contained cottages for the people who need space of their own. Somewhere to take the call that could not wait, host a client dinner, or put a founder who lands at midnight.

All three sit inside the same exclusive campus booking, and all three are covered by the one contract — no separate room blocks, no hotel minimums, no rate cards to chase.
