“This venue is simply amazing! The barn provides an elegant background for anything you can imagine, and the property is breathtaking. We rented the house for the weekend of my daughter’s wedding, and it was fantastic—we had the rehearsal dinner there (with a pizza food truck), and it provided a great place for the wedding party to stay. It sleeps 22 people! It was also nice because the hair and make-up girls all came to the house on Saturday, and we had lots of space on the third floor for 14 people to get ready. It was a perfect weekend!”
