About

On WeddingWire since 2024

Vanderbilt Lakeside offers thoughtfully curated stays and events in a welcoming gathering space, with custom in-house food and bar packages. Charming, versatile, and ideal for bespoke wedding celebrations of all sizes.

Overlooking a 20-acre lake, in a small village just outside of Hudson, NY, the 6000 square foot historic house feels unexpectedly secluded. Originally a railroad hotel built in the 1860s by the Vanderbilt family, the space has been newly reimagined, marrying the formal elegance of a Victorian-era home with the laid back, rustic feel of a lake house.

Multiple, large and welcoming common areas comprise over 2000 square feet of indoor event space. Wainscoting, tall tin ceilings, tons of natural light, wood beams, and vintage-inspired wallpaper surround an eclectic blend of furnishings, and an abundance of green plants, books, games, and unique objects. Outside, an oversized outdoor deck leads to an expansive private lawn with mature maples and evergreens, all nestled beside a 20 acre lake.

All bookings include fully private use of the house and grounds, with overnight accommodations for as many as 16 to 20 guests. Custom in-house catering packages, helpful staff, and much more are provided, affording our guests an all-inclusive and easy event planning experience.

We offer devoted attention to detail and will work with you to create a unique and memorable celebration!

Perfect venue for intimate wedding

We had our 70-person wedding at Vanderbilt Lakeside and could not have asked for a better experience! Having the entire space for the whole weekend, including 8 upstairs hotel-style rooms, was an amazing way to spend extra time with our family, and was especially great for our many young nieces and nephews who loved exploring the deck and back yard. Henrietta (owner) was extremely responsive and organized throughout the entire planning process, and thoughtful about making the weekend as we envisioned. The space is beautifully appointed and required very little additional decorating for the event. The food was fantastic, and our guests with dietary restrictions and allergies were especially grateful for the thoughtfulness of their kitchen and staff. The location was also great (though required some transportation planning due to limited uber/lyft in the area) - our guests loved exploring Hudson and hiking in the area. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an intimate and personalized wedding.
