Facilities

Freeberg Hall is Touch of Nature’s main dining facility and largest indoor gathering space, serving as the central location for all group meals. Located adjacent to Burke Lounge, the Friends Gazebo, and an outdoor patio, Freeberg Hall comfortably seats up to 200 guests and includes heating, Wi-Fi, and nearby restrooms.

This space is typically shared among groups during meal service and is not available for exclusive use unless specifically arranged. Groups that book meal service with us are not charged a rental fee for Freeberg Hall during mealtimes. However, if you are interested in using Freeberg Hall as a meeting or gathering space outside of scheduled meals, a rental fee will apply.
