Overlook Farm

Avalon Hall

Representing the ultimate in country elegance, Avalon Hall is truly unique in its sophistication, grandeur, and beauty. Stunning details emerge from the hand-pressed stone floor and oak beamed ceiling to the oak wainscoting. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, along with three massive chandeliers and pewter sconces lining the walls, create a warm, inviting atmosphere for your special occasion. Your guests will find themselves drawn to the second floor mezzanine where they can look down over the festivities or get a drink at Avalon's custom sapele wood bar. The bar is accessible, also, from the outdoor deck - which is in a class of its own. The patio below consists of three levels with water features, a fire pit, and a wood-fire pizza oven - just a few of its amenities. The tiger wood upper deck is the definition of luxury and country elegance. Amazing views, outdoor entertainment, and pristine interior details and amenities await your special day.

The Overlook and Avalon Meadow

Vows and “Wows”. The Overlook (from which the farm got it’s name) is a spot unparalleled by any other in the Midwest. This ‘perch’, sitting up above the Mississippi, is one of the highest points along the entire river, from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. With the quaint town of Clarksville, farmland, and the rolling hills of the river valley unfolding below, this majestic spot is ideal for the exchange of wedding vows. Your wedding guests will probably want to linger up here, so cocktails following the ceremony at The Overlook may be necessary!

The area sweeping up to the point is the perfect retreat following a ceremony overlooking the Mississippi. Bordered on one side by a row of cedar trees and on the other by a river view, the Avalon reception is grounded by a massive oak tree at one end, and extends up a long uninterrupted lawn to The Overlook. Globe lights strung above seated guests illuminate a surprisingly intimate space at nightfall. On midsummer evenings, fireflies provide additional ambient lighting.

The Courtyard and Lawn

Opened in May of 2010, this outdoor venue has quickly grown in popularity. Located directly behind The Clarksville Station Restaurant, this beautifully designed patio includes an outdoor kitchen with wood-burning oven, 12-foot grill, extensive bar seating, large fire pit, and many interesting architectural features. Dripping in wisteria in late spring and warmed by the bonfire in fall and winter, The Courtyard reflects the beauty of the changing seasons. Beyond this gathering space lie six regulation-sized horseshoe courts and the beautifully kept Lawn.

Custom-made harvest tables, running down the middle of the courtyard, underneath the glow of lights strung overhead, give this space a very “Napa” feel. Add candlelight, platters of roasted, grilled, and smoked specialties, wine, music, and the most important people in your life and you’ve created an evening no one will ever forget.

The Lawn is wide and wonderful event space at the base of the Overlook. It was designed to accommodate a large event, to be flexible enough to include a guest list of up to 500, and to provide supplemental wedding activities and entertainment (think croquet, badminton, outdoor movie, square dancing, pony rides - you name it!). The Lawn is bordered by the horseshoe courts, purveying flower garden, and The Courtyard. A winding path and footbridge connect The Lawn to the Overlook, situated directly above.
