An Evening for Twenty at Castle Hill

Experience Castle Hill as the Crane Family did, with an intimate evening of private dining and entertainment at the Great House. You and your guests will begin the night on top of the world, sipping champagne and savoring hors d’oeuvres on the rooftop terrace with its unparalleled 360° sunset views of the surrounding ocean and marshes. Then, enjoy a gourmet catered dinner in the Crane Family’s elegant dining room, with musical accompaniment to fully immerse you in the spirit of the evening. For a little after-dinner fun, may we propose a guided game of Clue, which will reveal some of the best-kept secrets of the Crane mansion? The winning bidder will have the option to reserve rooms at the Inn at Castle Hill.
