About this vendor

LGBTQ+-owned

Woman-owned

Zigbone Farm Retreat is a stunning wedding and event venue nestled in the rolling hills and valleys of the Catoctin Mountains, near both Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Frederick, Maryland -- and only one hour from Washington DC and Baltimore. The 100-acre farm features beautifully and naturally restored historic farmhouses and breathtaking views, all combining into a stunning backdrop for your celebration.

History

The Torfs-Leibman family bought the old Rocca farm in 2009 with the vision of transforming its historic buildings and 100 rolling acres into a working farm and nature-inspired retreat complex for celebrations. Today, the vision is realized: the old farmhouse is now the three-story, luxurious ZigBone Eco-Lodge; the springhouse is the romantic, timber-framed Bridal Cottage; and the rambling four-car garage is the Event Hall with an attached, wooden-beamed outdoor pavilion with sky lights and chandeliers. Sheep, goats, chickens, and barn cats have their run of the pastures. A 16-bed vegetable garden produces fresh produce for guests and friends and family. Guests call this place "magical," a "fairy tale," "stunning." We call it ZigBone Farm Retreat -- our dream come true.

Accommodations

Zigbone Farm Retreat offers overnight accommodations for up to 25 people on your wedding weekend. The three-story Zigbone Eco-Lodge sleeps up to 23 people and features an eat-in kitchen, hardwood floors, large dining room, and luxurious, light-filled sleeping rooms. It has a two-story log cabin at its center with a historic brick addition on one side and a naturally-built addition on the other, and stone terraces, porches, and patios all around. The Bridal Cottage sleeps up to three people, is handicapped accessible, and features high, wooden-beam ceilings, paned windows, hardwood floors, private deck, a sleeping alcove, and a writing nook.

Event Spaces

Zigbone Farm Retreat offers both indoor and outdoor spaces for an unforgettable ceremony and reception. Outdoor spaces -- wisteria covered stone terraces, timber-framed covered patios, old stone walls, gardens exploding with brightly-colored flowers, wrought-iron gazebos -- provide perfect backdrops for an outdoor ceremony on the back lawn. Guests can then move into the Event Hall and under the covered pavilion for dinner and dancing.

Capacity

The venue can hold weddings of up to 150 guests, and provides overnight accommodations for a total of 25 people.

Best Decision

Having our October 2023 wedding at Zigbone was the best decision we made. As soon as we arrived for our first visit, we knew it was ‘the place’. We loved being able to have our wedding party (and dog!) stay with us and booked the farmhouse Thursday through Sunday for extra time together. Our goal was to have a weekend full of community and celebration and Zigbone helped it be that and more. Beautiful scenery and accommodations, amazing list of recommended vendors, and communicative and welcoming owners. We couldn’t recommend it enough.

Absolutely gorgeous

The venue is absolutely gorgeous. Guests were so happy to be on the farm with us, paired with the bridal suite close but private from the rest of the crew. The flowers were beautiful bloomed and we could not have asked for a better venue to host our wedding. It’s the most beautiful venue.

The perfect venue

We had our 120-person wedding at Zigbone this past September and we were absolutely blown away. It was the *perfect* venue for us and our guests. We had about 20 folks stay on-site with us, and it was the most magical weekend that we could have ever imagined. We can't recommend Zigbone enough!
