Recreational Day Retreat & Outings

I have had the opportunity to work with the staff at the MIT Endicott House for decades, as a business manager, as a management consultant and as a professor, and my events have always been perfectly managed. From our multi-day boot camps of 40 attendees to my most recent experience of hosting one of our quarterly strategy planning meetings for seven senior managers, the care and adaptability of the staff has always exceeded my expectations. From the food to the IT requirements to all of those special nuances that define success, the uniqueness of the MIT Endicott House will always be our first choice for meetings!

We had a great time at the Endicott House. It was a really nice change of pace and my team loved it both inside and out. The room was perfect, AV worked seamlessly, and the snacks were just right. We all enjoyed lunch on the Veranda and the opportunity to play a little cornhole made for a good work/play balance. We definitely will be back in the future.

Wow. Just…wow. Just absolutely wonderfully perfectly wow. There has never been a better weekend in the history of the planet…absolutely every single thing was perfect. The rooms were fabulous, and Joe and John and Kenny were on the spot and attentive and smart and endlessly helpful. In the kitchen, Chef is always a star, people were gasping with delight about the food, I mean—gasping!  And [the] crew were wonderful and helpful and truly, beyond responsive to some of the guests’ incredibly specific requests…it was wonderful in every way, and truly unforgettable. Everyone was so generous and so thoughtful, and we cannot thank you enough…We do know some of the attendees came from your mailings, so that’s wonderful. Again, my endless thanks. You are all rock stars, and it was beyond our wildest dreams wonderful.

Thank you. We were extremely pleased with everything, and hope to have future events there. I’ve had to plan quite a few retreats in the past, and I’d say this was by the far the best one.

We recently hosted our board retreat at the MIT Endicott House, and I am happy to say that the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The space itself was perfect—spacious, well-maintained, and conducive to both collaboration and relaxation. The layout allowed for productive meetings, as well as comfortable areas to unwind during breaks. The buffet-style food was another highlight. It was delicious and offered a variety of options that catered to all dietary preferences. The presentation was lovely, and the quality of the food was exceptional—everything was fresh and flavorful. Additionally, the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always available without being intrusive. They made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on our discussions and objectives. Overall, the MIT Endicott House provided an outstanding setting for our retreat, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to others for similar events. We are already looking forward to the next opportunity to return!

Everything went excellent! The facility was perfect and the staff was great.  5 star review! I am so glad we had it at the Endicott house – brought back memories of when we used to have our summer outings there years ago eating in the gun room and the kiddos swimming in the pool – I don’t think the conference facility was even built back then. Everyone I spoke with so far had rave reviews as well. We will definitely keep you in mind for future meetings.

Went here for a work function. The staff were friendly. The cocktail hour was held in a rustic lodge room which had an interesting feel. The dining room was beautifully decorated. Unbelievable experience! A great place to bring a team together!
