We had such a fabulous time at Essex woods. The food was delicious and they accommodated for food allergies etc. They site is beautiful and has lots of walking paths etc. It was quite the sanctuary in the woods. Highly recommend this location for a team retreat.

Just finished a training retreat here and it was simply amazing. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Room were nice, clean, and comfortable. It was peaceful and charming to commune with nature. Food was simply amazing. Would recommend to everyone!

Appreciate the experience, venue, and staff at Essex Woods. Gladly recommend Essex Woods for you Leadership retreats.

Essex Woods - if you are looking for a space for truly building community and connections for smaller groups, look no further. Typically during a week long session with clients we cannot wait to eat elsewhere, this was not the case. Our Leadership Team commented that this was some of the best food ever - from some real foodies! They were concerned about shared bathrooms that turned out to be no issue for the inclusive environment with beautiful grounds and wonderful and curious art masterpieces.

We've hosted two staff retreats with Essex in the past two years. One was with 25 people, and the other with 60, and both turned out great. Christine and Cecilia are super welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. The space is amazing for group meals, big staff meetings and small breakout sessions, as well as great hangout options (campfire, board and card games, spa and sauna, trails). It's a great place for staff members to bond and connect.

We spent three days and three nights at Essex Woods for public health leadership retreat with 25people from all around the country. We had a wonderful time - the food was AMAZING, the staff were kind, and it provided just the right physical container for our work. The event staff all were really thoughtful in their communication from start to finish and even helped us figure out the best transportation options to and from Logan. We plan to return again this year! (The only thing I wish I knew ahead of time/should have assumed/could have missed in the contract was that the rooms would include toiletries. It was a relief to see those included as I was a bit stressed about forgetting to tell people to bring their own! A "what to pack" list to share with the group would be great!)

I have held winter overnight retreats here for teachers for the past 2 years and I plan to do in the future as well. The staff is great, the food is amazing, and we always enjoy the getaway feel the Essex Woods location provides. Not to mention, we love having the chance to hang out in the hot tub and drum around the fire pit! This place is wonderful!

Beautiful, Clean, Functional, Easily Accessible and staff is fantastic! Can't wait to host more retreats at Essex Woods 🙂

Essex Woods is a beautiful retreat center with everything you could hope for! The facility itself is comfortable, inviting, and well-equipped. The property is beautiful and transporting. And the staff is attentive and incredibly thoughtful. I highly recommend it!

Christine, Lysa, and the whole Essex Woods team (kitchen, support staff, ropes course staff, evening coverage) made our annual lab retreat truly unforgettable. Everything from the communication, accommodations, customer service, to the ropes course and bonfire made for the perfect 2-day getaway for our team. We loved it so much that we plan to make it a tradition to host our retreat at Essex Woods every year. Thank you again to the whole EW team for going above and beyond to make our stay easy, enjoyable, educational, and FUN!
