The Judges Quarters

Reconnect with your love as you immerse yourself in the echoes of history and savor the charm of the Judge’s Quarters meticulously restored guest rooms and carriage house. The original part of this home was built in 1800 and is one of the oldest houses in the village of Lowville. Built and lived in by the first judge in Lewis County, Daniel Kelley; thus the namesake - Judge's Quarters. The historic integrity of this beautiful federal colonial remains intact and the warm, comfortable, family feeling is felt throughout this home. Owners Tim and Renee offer a warm welcome and unforgettable accommodations to the couples attending this new years Retreat.

Reconnect

Love Language Workshop- There are five love languages that describe five different ways that people prefer to receive and express love in a relationship. Knowing your partner's love language and letting them know yours is a great way to connect at a deeper level. During this workshop you will discover each others love language.

Newlywed Game- The popular and hilarious Newlywed Game first debuted on ABC in 1966, testing just how well new couples knew each other. After our beautiful dinner & wine paring Friday evening, we will end the night together playing a slightly simmered down version of this fun couples game. And no, you and your partner do not have to be married or newlyweds for a shot at the prize!

Couples Yoga- No doubt this fun and invigorating couples yoga session will require enhanced teamwork and connection. What’s not required is yoga experience, my husband & I will walk you through every posture! This session will focus on building deeper physical connection, clear communication, and shared goals.

Sound Bath- Immerse yourselves in the vibrational healing powers of a sound bath. Live Sound Baths help to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by synchronizing our fluctuating brainwaves with stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency of specialized instruments, we can stimulate our brainwaves. It then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). Relax, rest, and restore together.

Tug Hill Estate

Not only is wine pairing a great way to gain a better understanding and deeper appreciation for different wines, it is also known to enhance the dining experience, potentially heightening flavors, textures and qualities in the food. Tug Hill Estates will be offering to you a wine pairing during Friday evening’s dinner.

 The Tug Hill Estate, home to the Tug Hill Vineyards, Spirits, and Orchards Brands, is an agriculturally based, family-friendly business. Tug Hill Estate is the northernmost Estate Winery and Distillery in New York, located just outside of Lowville on the Yancey Road. They believe in authentic wine making, limiting production to the varieties that grow right here in our northern climate. (optional, contains alcohol, must be 21+ years of age)
