Journey Through Time

A New Chapter

We’re excited to reveal Stonecliffe’s freshly updated look. Starting with the Mansion, our 16 fully renovated guest rooms add modern comforts while respecting the estate’s historic charm. We also updated the 32 Summer House rooms and added 3 brand-new private cottages. To elevate the experience we added the Sunset Pavilion event center; a wellness center with a pool and bridal suite; an adults-only pool; The General Store an on-site grab and go cafe and mercantile shop; and hundreds of young trees planted throughout the property.

Journey Through Time

Our History

Built in 1904 by famed architect Frederick Perkins, The Inn at Stonecliffe started out as part of a 150-acre family estate. It changed hands multiple times, going from a politically savvy couple that made the first major property additions to an organization that held summer conferences and a small college whose students cleared a downhill ski slope for themselves. We are now proudly part of the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation.

Restoring the Apple Orchard

With its shaded grassy paths between mature apple trees, our historic orchard has always been a sweet retreat. By renovating and adding new trees to the existing orchard on recently purchased acreage below the lawn area, we are doing our part to keep this treasured spot alive and thriving. In addition to cultivating multiple apple varieties that can eventually be used in our dining program, we are also raising honey bees in orchard hives.
