Critical: Professionalism Pretty location but rude communication from owner, not even to the people responsible for renting it, but to guests. No trash service on site, you have to haul everything out same night of ceremony and the owners weren't kind at all while wrapping things up. So many other pretty places that also treat their guest kind.

It is a beautiful setting for a wedding. the bathroom locks need work as jammed and I had to use skills to open it and get out. It got cold up on the hill so they brought out heaters. There are a lot of steep trails so hard for everyone to access venue. (Could go long way around).

I am beyond words with this venue. The owners made it incredibly easy on my wedding. I was stress free for most of it. Even when photography was an issue carol said she would take pictures as well just in case. I am beyond grateful for carol, Tim and Steve for making my wedding close to perfect. And the venue wasn't bad on pricing as well. The owners did their best to accommodate us and our guests.
Even if there were tiny flaws it never took away from the experience and hospitality. Especially during the pandemic. Hard times fell on everyone Especially for caring owners like carol and tim. They not only had to use money for up to standards during covid, but they also tried so hard to make sure i had everything I needed for my special day. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter recently had her wedding here. During the reception, One of the owners was.telling us we all had to wear masks. This was outside for hell sakes! Everyone at the reception heard what was going on. It was quite disruptive. She wasn't quiet about it all. Very disappointing. The bride, my daughter, was crying!

The place itself is absolutely gorgeous but the woman who owns it is insane. She went from being really nice to getting in our faces and telling us to wear masks even though we were outside and taking wedding photos. Needless to say, the bride was crying, guests were leaving because the lady was taking their photos and threatening to call the police, it was pretty aggressive. Would be 5 stars if it was ran by someone that didn't get off on being an old pushy Brad. There's always a polite way to approach people, having tact goes a long way.
