Between the naturally lovely environment and the heartfelt care the owners have put in, you’ll be blown away at every turn! Leann has put so much into the landscaping and atmosphere; from a lakeside wine night to a full blown wedding weekend, this is THE spot.
With so much available space, you can truly design your perfect day to your exact specifications, and Leann is beyond helpful when it comes to design, creativity, and logistics.
