Koi Pond Cocktail Hour: Sip, Stroll, and Soak in the Serenity 🍸🐟
Imagine this: golden hour settling over the trees, soft laughter in the background, and a gentle breeze moving across the water as koi glide peacefully below the surface. Glasses clink, conversation flows, and for a moment, time slows down. This is cocktail hour at Lotuswood Farm—and it’s anything but ordinary.
Located in the heart of Middletown, New York, Lotuswood offers a unique setting where elegance and nature meet. Our koi pond area creates a peaceful and enchanting scene that instantly puts guests at ease. As they arrive and explore, they’re drawn in by the charm of the pond, the beauty of the light, and the welcoming energy of the space.
The koi pond is more than just a backdrop—it becomes a focal point of the celebration. It’s where old friends reunite, new connections spark, and memories start to form long before the main event begins. There’s something about the stillness of the water and the movement of the koi that creates a perfect balance of calm and celebration.
Cocktail hour here feels thoughtful and intentional, without needing anything overdone. The setting speaks for itself. Add your favorite drinks, a few bites to share, and a group of happy guests, and suddenly you have a moment that’s rich with warmth and connection.
Lotuswood’s koi pond is the kind of place that lingers in the memory. Long after the last toast is made, guests will remember how it felt to gather here—surrounded by beauty, laughter, and the glow of something truly special.
