r daughter's wedding here was such a wonderful experience, from the blank canvas to decorate the way we wanted, to having the whole cabin that slept a bridal party of 10 so they could stay on property to decorate, get ready and not feel rushed and really be relaxed. Booking the whole weekend really gives you time to enjoy the experience rather than rush through everything from set up to cleanup. Highly recommend this venue for any event.

setting for the venue is breathtaking. Multiple areas not seen upfront for photo shoots. It is a bonus to have the venue open for engagement pictures once a wedding date is set and confirmed. The reception barn doesn't lack detail to lights, sound, floor space for table arrangements, catering kitchen, side area for many uses. We used this space for games and few toys for the littles to have fun during the time of reception. The cabin accommodations is perfect to keep Bride, bridal party and ladies in area of two bathrooms and bedrooms, Groom. Groomsman and guys in a area with bathroom and lounge area. Bedrooms and kitchen are ideal for overnight stays.
