Some of the best conversations happen after the meeting ends. Around a dinner table, along a quiet trail, or beside a fire.

At Sand Valley, those moments are part of the agenda.

Set among 12,000 acres of rolling sand dunes and pine forests in central Wisconsin, the resort gives your team space to step back, find fresh perspective and spend meaningful time together. Expansive views and welcoming hospitality set the tone for a retreat that feels different from the moment you arrive.

Make Space for Fresh Thinking

From small leadership retreats to a full resort takeover accommodating up to 120 guests, Sand Valley offers 8,500 square feet of meeting space, blending indoor venues with spaces that open to the surrounding landscape. Move naturally from focused working sessions to shared meals, outdoor exploration and conversations that continue well into the evening. Our Group Services team can help shape an itinerary around your goals, preferences and budget.

Fall and Winter, Reimagined
Cooler days invite a different pace. Explore the trails on a guided hike or fat-tire bike ride, then gather around a fire as the stars emerge. When snow and ice arrive, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, skating, pond hockey, curling and tubing offer new ways to connect as a team.

For a quieter reset, make time for yoga, massages or contrast therapy with guided breathwork led by the resort’s experienced wellness facilitators. When the weather calls the group indoors, discover Court Tennis, one of the world’s oldest and original racquet sports, or bring everyone together for a private bourbon tasting, wine tasting or chef-led cooking class.

Seasonal outdoor activities are weather-dependent; select experiences require advance arrangements.

Settle In — Gather Well
With 119 lodge rooms and suites, 27 four-bedroom cottages and estate homes with up to eight bedrooms, Sand Valley offers enough accommodations to keep everyone on one property while giving your group distinct spaces to unwind. Cottages feature full gourmet kitchens, private bathrooms and generous living areas, combining the comfort of a luxury home with the service of a resort.

Thoughtfully prepared meals are part of the experience, too. From working lunches and private dinners to relaxed evenings, groups enjoy seasonal menus and dishes inspired by local farms and Wisconsin’s seasonal ingredients.

Celebrate the Season Together
Make your holiday party a getaway worth gathering for. Bring colleagues together at Sand Valley for a festive dinner, a private tasting and time to unwind. With welcoming spaces and overnight accommodations, the celebration can last a little longer — and the drive home can wait.

A Change of Scenery, within Reach
Just 90 minutes from Madison and within driving distance of Milwaukee, Chicago and Minneapolis, Sand Valley feels a world away while remaining close enough to bring everyone together.

Bring your team to Sand Valley this season. Give them something to talk about long after the agenda ends.
