This house, event space and cottage were absolutely perfect in every single way! We had our wedding there and 24 of our family members and friends stayed in the house with us. The event space made for a gorgeous Christmas wedding and was everything I could have hoped for and so much more. The property management company responded promptly to all of my many questions and when we had a snafu with the locks the night before our wedding, late on Saturday night, they responded right away. I could not recommend this property more - especially for an event or large gathering - and we hope to come back with our family and celebrate again in the future!

It was one of the cleanest properties we have stayed in. It had many large rooms with plenty of beds. The event area was spacious enough for a wedding reception. Communication was fast and smooth as well. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again soon!

This is a great set up for large gatherings and events! We used it to get together with family and friends to play a bunch of board games, but if I were getting married in the area I'd definitely consider it. It's beautiful and a great location!

Amazing reunion venue

My family of 30 stayed for 3 nights and had an amazing time! The houses were beautiful and spacious and clean. The dance hall was huge! There are no shortage of bathrooms. The location is right off the highway, so it’s close to everything. We had several senior family members, so our only concern was the lack of banisters for all stairs. Other than that, our stay was fantastic and we would return again.

Great spot for a wedding and/ or reception.

We really enjoyed our stay. We used the site for our daughters wedding reception. Her actual ceremony was about 30 minutes away at the Pretty Place on top of a mountain. The two houses on site allowed for our family to stay at the same site as the reception which was very convenient. The house is a restored older style home and several folks commented on how wonderful it was. There is plenty of space with a good mix of rooms with large families and individual couples. We had around 100 folks attend the reception and there was sufficient parking and plenty of nice outdoor space for folks to mingle. We noticed once we arrived that you could have a ceremony there as well with the pond and fountain as a backdrop. The property management team was super responsive and helpful and allowed us to come and visit the site prior to our arrival for planning. The kitchen has two large refrigerators with plenty of space to cook for a large group. There is a second house that was the perfect place for the bride and her close friends to stay prior to the wedding for preparation away from the main group. Excellent venue. We highly recommend it!
