This is the "Lodge" as seen when you arrive on Choate Circle.

There is a courtyard with a fountain and places to sit and relax.

We will be eating and meeting on the large deck of the Lodge.

There is a several-acre lawn behind the lodge for games.

If the weather is not cooperative, we can use the SIM Welcome Center.

There is ample dining space in the Welcome Center.

And a commercial grade kitchen if we need it.
