Nestled in the heart of west suburban Glen Ellyn, on the banks of Lake Ellyn, the Boathouse can serve as the perfect locale for your next corporate or social gathering. The shore of the picturesque lake is resplendent with natural flora that accentuates the current season, and the large deck off the eastside of the Boathouse provides spectacular views of the lake and resident wildlife.

This versatile space can comfortably accommodate seating for up to 120 guests or 150 guests without tables. The adjoining terrace and deck are also available to rent (for an additional fee) when renting the Boathouse. Lake Ellyn Boathouse is fully ADA accessible.
