Backwoods 222
I attended a wedding at Backwoods 222 in Gower, Missouri, and the event space is very nice. It has two bedrooms upstairs that can be used for a his-and-hers setup or for people staying for a weekend event or conference. There are breakout rooms without doors and some rooms downstairs with curtains. The kitchen has a freezer, refrigerator, double sink, microwave, and large trash cans. I can't remember if there was a stove. The building has three levels and was built in 1863--it used to be a museum.
It's about five miles west of Gower and 15 miles from Trimble. I attended on November 21st when it was cold and rainy, so we couldn't use the patio, but pictures show it's beautiful.
The bathrooms really impressed me--clean floors, clean toilets, and well kept. Aimee was onsite most of the event, and she was very helpful. She emptied the trash before leaving and was very compassionate and concerned about the guests.
What stood out were the handwritten ICE (In Case of Emergency) signs posted around the venue with the address and directions to give police or emergency services. She also had Kleenex and hand sanitizer everywhere. I can tell she loves her place and keeps it very clean. She also has a room full of decor like vases, centerpieces, "bride and groom" items, and things for events.
I live in Raymore, Missouri, and it was worth the drive. I would highly recommend Backwoods 222. read more
