Highlighted review.

Bridal suite is stunning!!! There is an amazing view of the mountains from the barn, perfect for fall foliage. The venue is extremely private with no simultaneous events going on, ...

and all personal requests we had are being accommodated. They also have preferred vendor for every need, which not being from the Rutland area was a huge help! Very happy we chose this location as there are many options out there.

Any questions?

This venue is absolutely gorgeous, more private than I anticipated and my fiance and I are just in love with it! The owners have been wonderful to work with and are willing to help...

with any needs we have. So far, they have gone above and beyond anything we could have asked for. They streamlined our food options and really made it so we hardly have to think about a thing! Can't wait for our special day in October 2025!
