About

On WeddingWire since 2024

Burdett Hill Barn is a wedding venue about a mile from downtown Watkins Glen in the heart of the Finger Lakes of New York. It has fantastic views of Seneca Lake and has hosted parties of all types, from family reunions to weddings and anniversaries. The Burdett Hill Barn can accommodate parties of up to 100 year round. The lower level has two bridal party suites with overnight accommodations if you decide to stay. The Glen Eastern Main house is also on property and is set to accommodate another ten guests in 4 bedrooms with 3.5 bathrooms and lake view wraparound deck. We have another home that sleeps ten just across the lake in downtown Watkins called Harbor West.

Facilities and Capacity

Whether an intimate or lavish affair, Burdett Hill Barn can accommodate parties of up to 100 people - eighty with a dance floor and sit down seating. By adding a tent the venue can accommodate even more. Our arrangement allows couples and their wedding planners to arrive and set up everything at noon in preparation for the ceremony that night. By renting the barn and house overnight or for the full weekend, you can have full use of the property for your guests and even a rehearsal dinner or brunch.

We also offer 48 hour weekend packages so that you can set up and use the barn from Friday afternoon to Sunday. Contact us for details.

In addition to our two local homes, there are a number of other guest houses in the area, as well as a five star hotel in Watkins Glen. Both of our homes and many others offer guests stunning views of Seneca Lake and the surrounding area. Many lie just a short distance from Burdett Hill Barn and the wedding festivities.

Fantastic Family Reunion for 40

We had one of the best times of our lives at this property. We rented the barn and home last summer while the upper barn was still under construction...but we could totally see the vision. We visited this past September and were knocked out by the finished product. The property is massive with a large grassy field to the south of the barn where we set up a tent and parked many cars. The way the upper barn is set up now with the new deck, heat, AC, hardwood floors, full bar, and the bathrooms is a huge bonus. The lower level was a ton of fun for us and I see how they divided it into two separate "suits" for weddings. We plan to be back soon and are trying to get our niece to have her wedding there in 2026.
