The Chandi House: Chef-Hosted Lake House for Dinners, Retreats and Gatherings
The vibe:
A warm, mid-century modern lake house spread over four open levels, 300 yards from Bde Maka Ska in Uptown. Exposed brick, antique hardwood floors and original work by local artists give it the feel of a private gallery rather than a rented venue. Guests can mingle in the chef's kitchen, relax in the lounges, play shuffleboard, then walk down to the lake at sunset.
Perfect for:
Private chef dinners and wine or kava tastings
Wellness retreats, sauna socials, yoga and sound sessions
Corporate offsites, leadership retreats and team dinners
Birthdays, anniversaries, bridal and baby showers
Workshops, supper clubs, book clubs and pop-ups
Networking mixers and client appreciation evenings
