Birdwood Mansion Previews Future Groups and Events Experiences
Luxury in Bloom: a Glimpse of How Storied Events and Group Gatherings will Come to Life at the Historic 19th Century Mansion and Estate, Starting in the Fall
Charlottesville, VA (May 1, 2025) – As Birdwood Mansion, the storied 19th century estate located in the foothills of Charlottesville, undergoes a majestic restoration project to transform the property into a new luxury boutique seven-room hotel and events destination, it announces details of what guests can expect of a group function held within. Currently accepting inquiries for future events, Birdwood Mansion will offer the charms of an architecturally stunning guest residence coupled with abundant indoor and outdoor settings and amenities to host an unparalleled group occasion of any kind – from heartfelt family reunions and fun getaways with friends to rejuvenating wellness retreats, graduation celebrations, power meetings and team-building offsites, and more. The Mansion will also serve as an unforgettable wedding setting.
Following is a preliminary overview of what a groups experience at Birdwood Mansion will entail upon its debut in the fall.
The Mansion
A two-story brick home, initially constructed between 1819 and 1830, Birdwood Mansion will provide an exclusive, fully private venue that can be booked for social events, group celebrations and corporate gatherings of all kinds. Birdwood Mansion will serve as a photogenic setting with resplendent architectural charms including a monumental entrance portico with Doric columns, preserved interior woodworks, and fireplaces. An elegant private parlor and beautiful dining room will set the stage for standing cocktail receptions, formal sit-down meals, and other functions.
Alongside the functions, the Mansion will offer seven individually curated accommodations—including four guest rooms in the main house and three adjacent cottages—for stays as well as private use of the parlor, dining room, and pool, offering groups white glove service and luxury amenities they would expect from an exclusive high-end hotel. With these charming accommodations being idyllic for consummate event hosts or to house small groups in their entirety, the neighboring Boar's Head Resort will provide the convenience of additional lodging for extended guests.
Scenic Outdoor Spaces
Set on 12 acres of beautifully manicured land, overlooking the Boar’s Head Resort golf courses and breathtaking natural Virginia scenery, Birdwood Mansion will serve as a picturesque backdrop for unparalleled al fresco gatherings. The restored property will feature several lush spaces to host large and small receptions for up to hundreds of guests, intimate garden dinners and open-air cocktail gatherings, graduation celebrations for students of the nearby University of Virginia, and more.
Among the outdoor settings will be a majestic Front Lawn, adjacent Oval and East Gardens surrounded by verdant hedges, and a pool that looks directly out to the panoramic views, allowing groups to customize their events to their preferences. The Whispering Garden, a secret hideaway that will beckon with lush local trees and flowers, will provide a tranquil setting for quiet reflection or heartfelt conversations.
A Complete Resort Experience
Hosting an event or group gathering at Birdwood Mansion will allow guests to enhance their experience with a full suite of world-class amenities, facilities, and signature programming featured at Boar’s Head Resort. These include the picturesque Birdwood Golf courses and facilities that are prime for private golf outings; tranquil spa; expansive sports club, offering abundant tennis, pickleball and squash courts; state-of-the-art aquatics center; and more, providing idyllic activities for all.
The Mansion’s proximity to broader area attractions provides ample inspiration to enjoy additional unforgettable experiences or team-building activities in the destination, whether touring the wineries of Charlottesville—voted 2024 “Wine Region of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast—or exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains. The University of Virginia campus and its historic attractions and renowned sporting events are also located minutes away.
