My husband and I have lived here for two years and we are planning on renewing our lease and…read morestaying at least one more. First, the pros: the Porterdale Mill Lofts is a visually stunning and interesting place to live. It's full of history and character. As other reviewers have said, each unit is a little bit different, which adds intrigue among residents; we like to show our units to our friends and comment about unique aspects of our own space. The ceilings are high, the windows are gorgeous, the building is clean and full of friendly people. The staff is out of this world--helpful, welcoming, and quick to respond to any little thing. I've always felt safe here and my husband and I have really enjoyed being here. It feels like home, not like a transitory apartment-living situation. Now onto the cons: I've heard that in A and B buildings, the noise of neighbors is very limited. Unfortunately, this hasn't always been the case in our apartment, located in C. Honestly, though, I think we've just had really loud neighbors who cackle and play video games into the night, usually not even beginning until 10pm. I will say this: when we've called the after hours number, someone has ALWAYS taken care of the issue in only a few minutes' time. Because the ceilings are a bazillion feet high, your power bill will be a bit of a booger. If you control your thermostat, you'll be fine. It just takes a little practice. The pool is nice, but the music is nearly always country and residents (for understandable reasons) do not have access to change the station; bring your ear buds if you aren't a Carrie Underwood fan. Sometimes the "locals" wander in, despite posted signs that declare the pool for "PML Residents ONLY." If you call maintenance, they'll shoo them out in no time flat. Overall, this is a wonderful place to live. Porterdale has been neglected for a long time but is making a comeback. Many of the "cons" associated with living in the Lofts are not the fault of the staff; it's more an issue of location. Many of the locals are curious about the building and can sometimes be annoying, but the Lofts staff cannot be everywhere at once. All entrances are passcode protected and the staff is very responsive. I recommend this place all the time and we are happy to stay here for another year. This is the only apartment-style living arrangement we'd even consider outside of Atlanta.

THEY BROKE OUR CONTRACT LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE OUR WEDDING. The contract included the venue,…read morethe catering, the flowers, and most of the decorations. Meaning they left us with less than two months to completely start over in planning our entire wedding. They even have you sign the contract saying that you will not leave them any bad reviews (we should have known then), but since they are the ones that broke the contract I will make sure to leave the worst reviews on every site I can find. It started when Brandy emailed us somebody else's contract, showing us that for a cheaper price they got a lot more than we did. She said she didn't see what the big deal was. Then, the florist said that he was already doing two weddings that week and just couldn't handle the stress. (He is probably in the wrong line of work) We tried to explain to him that it was already included in the contract. We received a call afterwards from the company saying that the florist complained, saying that we were screaming at him and he refused to do business with us. That was a lie. There were many small things that suddenly were not included or different than what was agreed on when we first met. The next problem we had, had to do with the catering. Initially we were told that when we did the taste test that we would be able to choose from a menu what we would like to try and decide from there what we would like for the wedding. That changed as well. They then told us that since they do the taste tests for large groups of people they cannot cater to everyone's wants and that we would only be able to try what was on their menu for that month. So we went. We were the only family there. That meant they also lied about not being able to cater to us. They began to bring out the appetizers, which were almost inedible. One of the appetizers was a green fried tomato slider. There wasn't really any tomato in it so it just tasted like fried breading in bread. Another one was potato souffle if I remember correctly. Whatever it was, when we put our fork in it to take a bite, the entire thing came up like a rock. My mom commented that she could tell that the food had been pre-made but she assumed that it would be fresh for the wedding. That didn't go over too well, Brandy told us that she could bring out the pan that the food was cooked in.....like that was going to prove anything. Then she went in the kitchen and came back with someone else from the company. The first thing he said when he came out was: "Obviously there is nothing we can do to make you happy so you can come Wednesday to pick up your check." NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THOSE LIARS.

The Mill at Yellow River was the perfect location for our wedding! It was absolutely gorgeous. I…read moredidn't like the distance from the city of Atlanta (and some of my guests got a bit lost); however, it was completely worth it. The large windows, brick interior, loft style, outdoor area (patio and garden) and river backdrop were beautiful (which made for wonderful photos). Guests immediately loved the place when they pulled up to the venue. I was set on getting married outside; however, because of rain the morning of the wedding and the wet grounds, our ceremony was held inside and cocktail hour was outside on the patio. Even though my heart was set on everything being outside (other than the reception), it was all beautiful and perfect. The bridal loft was definitely a plus since I had a large bridal party. It was a beautiful fully equipped loft style apartment that also made for great photos. I wouldn't change a thing about the venue other than its distance. This was a great find. I initially looked at the Cotton Warehouse in Monroe (which was also nice), but I am so grateful that Jakob told me about this place because it fit us perfectly.

This is a popular event space in the Covington/Oxford area. I've been to a few events held there…read morethrough the years - wedding reception, birthday party, etc. The space is large enough for a very large party, but can be converted for a more intimate setting. The main banquet room could be a lot nicer, in my opinion, if they would make some simple updates to the decor. The window treatments and other decorative accents are very dated. There's ample parking available in a well-maintained lot. However, there was a large pothole in the driveway leading to the venue when I was there for a party in late October 2016. The venue itself boasts a large reception/entrance area, a spacious kitchen and prep room for caterers, plenty of tables with comfortable chairs, and large restrooms. I've never held an event there, so I cannot comment on pricing.

I got the impression that lots of folks living in the area don't even know it's there, so it's truly a true a hidden gem. We found the ACC in the process of looking for a venue for a 50th wedding anniversary party. We rented the Tupelo Pavilion for its minimum eight hour rental period (including set-up and cleanup) at a very reasonable cost. The pavilion is perfect for an outdoor event and we loved its rustic charm. We had plenty of space for eating, mingling, and dancing. The pavilion is equipped with several large picnic tables, loads of bench seating, and a big catering kitchen with a fridge, commercial kitchen sink, and ice maker. Recycling containers are also provided. Restrooms are easily accessible. If you're planning on partying pretty hard and won't be able to drive out of there, Turner Cabin is available to rent overnight. It's nothing fancy but has two bedrooms, a full kitchen, two full bathrooms, a screened-in porch, and a wood-burning fireplace. Unfortunately, we only saw a small portion of the conservation center and didn't have enough time to fully explore the property the way we wanted. Approximately two miles of easy walking trails wind beside the river and through woods, swamps, and meadows, offering abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. Native plants and trees are easily identified with markers in various gardens. We definitely plan to go back and walk around the trails next time we are in town. I'm happy to know such quiet and unspoiled places still exist in the middle of a metropolitan area.
