How many guests can Sommer House Inn host for an event?

We host up to 40 total guests for events. Sixteen of those can stay overnight across our four suites.

Can we rent the inn just for the day, without staying overnight?

Daytime events must conclude by 4:00 PM and include up to 4 hours of event time (1 hour setup, 2 hour event, 1 hour clean up). The daytime event fee is $500 plus a $200 refundable damage deposit. Additional hours are available at $150/hour. Evening events, weddings and reunions require a full-property buyout with a 2-night minimum stay and a $500 event fee.

You're welcome to bring in your own caterer or use the full kitchen on-site.

Is there space for a ceremony outdoors?

Yes. The private 1 acre setting and outdoor space are well suited for small ceremonies, vow exchanges and outdoor receptions.

How do I check availability for an event date?

Send us a note with your preferred dates, headcount and the type of event you're planning. We'll come back with availability, pricing and a custom proposal that includes the 2-night minimum stay, event fee, and refundable security deposit where applicable.
