Gather at The Lewis Catherine House
Stay with us
Situated amidst the tranquil embrace of Virginia’s nature and the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Lewis Catherine House is a traditional farmhouse with modern comforts and is situated on seven acres in Afton, VA. Originally built in 1905, and thoughtfully renovated in 2017, there are five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths with several large rooms for various types of gatherings. The outdoor space is another opportunity for activities, including an outdoor fire pit and a “party barn”, a space for recreation, eating, or reading. The front porch is an inviting location for a morning cup of coffee and serene views of country pastures. The opportunity for quiet reflection while the sun rises is a guaranteed soul-filling moment.
Weekend retreats
Bring friends and family for a weekend retreat to enjoy the local views along with a glass of Virginia wine or a pint of Virginia brewed beer or cider. A short drive to the grounds of UVa allows for access to the rich history, athletic events and visiting the HOOS in Hooville.
Corporate Retreats
The Lewis Catherine House is the ideal corporate retreat location with a harmonious blend of serenity, luxury, and an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and productivity.

The oversized dining room is anchored with a large table that comfortably sits fourteen. Additional rooms adjacent to the dining room allow for creative sessions or social time.

It is a sanctuary where work seamlessly integrates with relaxation, ensuring an unforgettable retreat experience that inspires creativity, strengthens connections, and leaves participants refreshed and energized.
