If you catch the owner at the right time, he provides free workshop and explain the details of the lavender oil and essential oil extraction process. The owner will also talk briefly about the history of the farm if you are interested. Feel free to take picture, look around the farm, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Be aware they have a friendly cat and dog that love attentions. Other larger more commercialized lavender farm charge up to $13 for the entrance fee. This friendly family farm provide free workshop, I recommend visitors to at least do some small purchases inside their store. At the end, the family need to make a living :).

I've been to a couple of weddings where the sun was blazing in my eyes and diminished the nuptials just a tad. The main floor of the mansion was open after the wedding ceremony for guests to mingle and wander from room to room. Dinner was held on the second floor with the buffet set up on the landing. The tables were spaced out well so that there was room to move between them.

After leaving my hefty deposit, they ignored my phone calls and emails for two weeks when having trouble securing hotels for my guests. They failed to mention that the weekend of my wedding is the Home Hardware Convention; ALL the hotels in the surrounding cities are booked. No one returned any of my calls or emails when trying to change my date. My trust with them diminished.They are not professional, educated or buisness-oriented. The owner spoke to my mother rudely and refused to compromise on returning some of the deposit given their lack of work on the wedding. I would rather lose my deposit than give them any more money. Brides and Grooms, RUN!

You won't regret the drive into town to check out the beautiful venue! There is NOTHING like it for miles around. The historic building interior resembles a courtyard complete with waterfall and church, provides a beautiful backdrop for any event. A great spot for photographers who may need an indoor setting when the outdoors is miserable. The owners are very friendly and accommodating... they will work with you to help assure your event is a success and your needs are met. I flew in from California to host a business Nutrition Show there earlier this month, and everything was very well organized and both days of the function went very smoothly. (all on short notice too!) I had associates from California fly out to speak at the event and they were SO impressed with the facility... they couldn't believe how beautiful it was. There is nothing in the surrounding area that comes close to this place.... so call them and go to see for yourself!

The space was big enough to sit comfortably-inside or out- and dance. I loved the vintage decor on the walls (moose antlers, old tools, etc) and the animals (cows, a horse that stood perfectly still between the sign-super weird- and the cats) were sweet. The venue had a fun, laid back, and warm feel. I definitely recommend this as a wedding venue.

I had my wedding and got married here on May 17, 2014. The venue/barn is absolutely beautiful and…read morethe grounds are well kept and are very nice for photos. We didn't have food catered in as we had a professional bbq'r there so having the kitchen on-site was great. We could not have asked for a better place. HOWEVER.....what we did encounter that we were not at all happy about We had to hire THEIR bartenders at $150/per bartender. We HAD to have two of them and they would work for eight hours. This we knew. What we DIDN'T know was that it was the owner (Cathy) and her mother! They were not dressed appropriately in my opinion for a wedding. They were dressed like they were in a country barn hoedown. Cathy stayed for the whole evening but her mom left at 9:30-10ish. So we paid for the whole night but didn't get the two bartenders for the whole night. They had a tip jar out on the counter which I was not at all happy about! They told us we had to legally close the bar during the dinner time because we had our own wine on the table (so another two hours of paid time) but when we checked with the liquor store when we got the license this is NOT the case...but, not a huge deal as we had wine on the tables. So during this "paid" time, Cathy was outside playing with her cat. They (Cathy and her mother) then demanded silverware and ate our dinner. We had a buffet so this was not a huge deal, it IS however the principle of it!! This was never discussed nor where they invited to the dinner. Approximately 9:30, George (Cathy's father) came in to the hall and sat by the entrance inside the main hall and was dressed in "Johnny Cash", hat and all outfit. He just sat and stared at people. When someone would walk by him, he would stop them, ask if they were enjoying themselves then say "I own the place". He was the first person over to the late night buffet when it was put out on the table and helped himself to it and the desserts. During the evening, Cathy SNAPPED at a few guests to keep the doors shut because the heat was on (we had actually turned it off because it was hot) Finally at the end of the night, everyone had left when Cathy told me she had shut the fridge off but to have NO worries as this fridge holds the cold. It does NOT. When we arrived Sunday morning the fridge was warm. The slab cakes that we had piled on top of each other had sunk into each other because the card board boxes had become wet and soggy. 5 cakes flattened! Creamer and milk packets were warm, ceasar salad dressing warm and two lasagnas warm. I had to throw all of it away....it was all ruined!!! We had rented the hall for 3 days but were then told on Friday when we were setting up that we didn't rent it for Sunday but they would ALLOW us to come in and clean up but had to be gone by 12. This was not a big deal as we didn't want to be there long anyhow..again, it was the principle. All I can say is the venue is amazing and it is wonderful...the people on the other hand..... once committed to a venue and the invites are sent out. There is nothing that can be said and done when inappropriate behavior is happening. Especially in this case....I honestly didn't trust them not to kick people out if we didn't go along. I would give the venue 5/5 as it is absolutely beautiful however; because of the owners I feel they severely reduce the rating.

Stone architecture and arched windows, it has undergone a number of renovations. It still feels "classic" to me. There are plaques on the front listing the names of those who fought for Canada in various conflicts. It was the center of local politics for several decades, and also various exhibitions, such as the travelling Edison "magic phonograph" demonstration in 1878. I did not have an opportunity to tour the interior today. A beautiful garden in the back complete with gazebo. There is a small parking lot. This is next to the playground which was fully occupied today! [Review 1457 of 2024 - 135 in Ontario - 22480 overall]

It takes about 2 hours to explore the grounds starting with the entrance from the Region of Waterloo Museum which is connected to the Doon Heritage Village on Huron Road. Staff are wonderful at answering questions and showing how the old tools and equipment were used back then. Some of the old tools are just rock solid and will last forever. Wood was the primary construction materials used for building. This explains why fire insurance was a fast growing business. Insurance companies in the Region thrived and made the economy grow in that sector for years to come. The Martin House is beautifully decorated inside and out. The family was of Old Order Mennonite religion. There were very conservative colour schemes used, and no mirrors were allowed in the home! The Old Post Office is connected to a custom tailor service in the same building. Our hostess explained how the one man operation (tailor and postmaster) was in charge of both businesses. Suits were made to order and were outfitted with ties and cuff links. It was a profitable venture until the Eaton's catalogue business became more popular. The Dry Goods Grocery Store is "stocked" with canned goods and non-perishables such as soap and laundry detergent. Brand names included McCormicks and Heinz. Homes were equipped with a cast iron stove that kept the premises warmer in the winter months. Check out the feet of the stoves which were designed like ones you would find on vintage pianos. Very enjoyable afternoon spent and we learned a lot about early life and hard work of the German community and how it all started in Kitchener (then known as Berlin).
