One
Corporate offsite
Leadership teams of eight to fourteen running a two- or three-day agenda. Sunroom for the working sessions, deck for the breakouts, long table for the working lunch. Direct invoicing, W-9, and COI available.
Group Retreats · 2–7 nights
Bring the team. Bring the family. Everyone under one roof.
The Wilkshire is built for groups: three separately-entered suites, sunroom, deck, chef-catered meals, sleeps fourteen. Corporate offsites, board retreats, church retreats, family reunions.
Retreat types
Four kinds of groups take the whole house.
A hotel conference room empties at five and sends everyone to separate floors. A house keeps the group together for the part of the retreat that actually matters — the hour after dinner.
Two
Board retreat
Whole-house exclusivity means a board can talk candidly without a hallway between the room and the hotel bar. Chef-catered meals served in, so the conversation never breaks for a reservation.
Three
Church retreat
Elder boards, staff planning weekends, and small-group leadership retreats. Fireside evening sessions in the living room, quiet rooms to scatter to, and three kitchens if the group would rather cook together.
Four
Reunion or milestone
Family reunions, milestone birthdays, and anniversaries. Grandparents on the ground floor with their own entrance, the cousins upstairs, and everyone at one table for dinner on the deck.
The meeting spaces
Four rooms, four jobs.
Nothing here is a conference room, and that is the point. Move the group four times a day and the energy holds through the afternoon.
Morning sessions
The sunroom
Glass on three sides and the best natural light in the house. Seats fourteen around the study table, which is where the working sessions happen and where the whiteboard goes.
Meals and workshops
The dining room
The long table seats twelve under the lantern chandelier, fireplace at one end. Chef-catered working lunches here, then dinner at the same table with the agenda closed.
Breakouts
The wraparound deck
Pairs and threes take the deck for the afternoon reset — swivel chairs, shade, the grill, and the putting green off the far end for the group that thinks better standing up.
Evening sessions
The living room
Stone fireplace, deep seating, and no clock. Fireside debriefs, closing sessions, and the conversation that would never have happened in a hotel lobby.
“The real session starts after dinner.”
What’s included
The house, the chef, and the paperwork.

A day at the retreat
What Tuesday looks like.
A working day with four changes of room, three meals you did not have to book, and no commute at either end of it.
7:00 — Coffee on the deck
Service is out before the first person is up. Early risers take the rail and the quiet.
8:00 — Chef breakfast
Hot breakfast at the long table or in the sunroom. Agenda handed out with the second cup.
9:00–12:00 — Working session
The sunroom, fourteen around the study table, natural light on three sides and the door closed.
12:00 — Chef lunch
Served in the dining room. Forty-five minutes, not a two-hour restaurant round trip.
1:00–3:00 — Breakouts on the deck
Pairs and threes spread across the deck, the patio, and the living room. Housekeeping resets the sunroom behind you.
3:00–5:00 — Activity
The putting green and short-game area, a tee time elsewhere in Augusta, or a concierge-arranged tour of the Hill and downtown.
6:00 — Dinner
Chef-catered at the long table, or the grill on the deck if the group wants to cook its own.
8:00 — Fireside
Living room, stone fireplace, and the closing conversation nobody scheduled.
