Why The Preserve at Chocorua Might Be New England’s Best-Kept Secret for Corporate Retreats

You ever stumble on a place and think, “Now this is where the real conversations happen”?

That was my thought the first time I came across The Preserve at Chocorua.

This boutique property in Tamworth, New Hampshire is one of those rare venues that offers space to think, connect, and reset. It’s quiet. It’s intentional. And it’s surrounded by nature that has a way of softening the hard edges of corporate life.

Venues like this catch my attention for a reason. As a corporate event planner, I’m always on the lookout for spaces that offer more than just a pretty setting. This one stands out for its privacy, natural beauty, and versatility—all the elements that support meaningful, results-driven retreats. If you’re serious about creating an offsite that actually moves the needle, The Preserve deserves a look.

A Private Retreat in the Heart of New Hampshire

The Preserve sits on 45 acres at the base of Mount Chocorua. The landscape is a mix of wide-open fields, wooded trails, a peaceful pond, and historic New England architecture. It’s the kind of place that welcomes you the moment you arrive. Everything about it encourages people to unplug and show up with clarity.

Here are some of the key features that make it ideal for a corporate retreat:

• Private lodging for up to 26 guests

• Indoor and outdoor meeting spaces with flexible layouts

• AV-equipped barn for presentations or workshops

• Onsite catering with a focus on quality and customization

• Fire pits, yoga decks, and trails that support informal team connection

This is not a stuffy hotel ballroom with bad lighting and worse coffee. It’s a place where conversations happen on porches, strategy is sketched out on flipcharts in the open air, and the pace naturally slows so people can think clearly.

Why Venues Like This Matter

I’ve been planning corporate events for over a decade, and I can tell you the venue is never just a backdrop. It sets the tone. It influences the mindset of your team. And it can either help or hinder the outcomes you’re working toward.

The Preserve at Chocorua strikes a rare balance. It feels elevated without being overdone, and comfortable without being casual. It gives teams the physical and mental space to step back, reset, and get aligned.

I’ve worked with companies that saw more clarity in two days offsite than in six months of virtual meetings. The difference was not just the agenda. It was the environment. The setting allowed them to engage differently, to listen better, and to return with renewed purpose.
