Your couples want the whole weekend. Not just the venue.
18 wooded lakefront acres in Parkman, Maine, with Main House and Bunk House lodging for 25. A separate three-person Airstream is available by request.
A wedding weekend needs more than a beautiful setting. Planners need a clear lodging plan, a real weather conversation, a catering model, and one path for current dates and terms. At Dragonwood, the Main House and Bunk House keep up to 25 close guests on the same 18-acre property while Carrie and the team confirm how each ceremony and gathering space can fit the event.
Start with the people who need to stay on-site: the Main House sleeps 9 and the Bunk House sleeps 16. A separate three-person Airstream can be requested for a pair. Then shape the day around Altar Rock, Walnut Grove, the waterfront, or the outdoor grassy space. Thunder Hall and The Haven provide flexible gathering options. Dragonwood handles event catering from its licensed commercial kitchen. Carrie and the team confirm current dates, reservation terms, layouts, weather arrangements, accessibility fit, and other event logistics in writing.

Where close guests can stay
The Main House and Bunk House sleep 25 combined. The separate three-person Airstream is available by request. Bridal party, family, and close friends can stay on-site.
Main House
The Main House has three levels, including a treehouse-like top floor. A ground-floor bedroom and bathroom are available, and accessibility fit should be confirmed for each guest.
Bunk House
The Bunk House is communal group lodging with a balcony that offers a place to look at the night sky. It connects to The Haven.
Airstream

Build a practical photo plan
The 18-acre setting gives photographers several backdrops within one property: Manhanock Pond, approximately 1,200 feet of shoreline, wooded areas, the Main House, and Thunder Hall.
Ceremony locations and event layouts can change with the group and current conditions, so photography timing and access should be shaped with Carrie and the Dragonwood team.
