I think Karen and Don know something about everything. It was great. I was sorry that we had to be on our way. The good news is this is a 4 seasons area.

Our daughter's wedding was held June 29, 2024. The venue is beautiful and well layed out. The…read morebeautiful farmhouse accommodated five couples for the bridal party, and the day of the wedding, the Bridesmaids for hair and make up. Food was delicious! Dessert was pies, and they were delicious. The after-wedding bonfire was wonderful where friends and family relaxed with a drink, s'more and snack choices (by bride and groom) provided by the venue. However, there were several issues that we encountered during the day of the wedding, primarily involving the venue's owner. I feel that Leigh Clark, owner and planner, would serve her guests better if she didn't directly deal with them. From the get-go, while trying to corral our guests to the deck area for the ceremony because of rain, she belittled them and was condescending, making facial expressions and rolling her eyes, while using a microphone.... especially for our group photo. Guests mentioned to us that the staff began clearing the hors'doerves well before the guests were called up to the reception. The first issue was with the dozens upon dozens of our homemade cookies. These were outdoors several hours before the 5 pm ceremony.... many of which became soft and crumbling due to the humidity. No food should ever be left outside, uncovered. Tables were set, and water and wine glasses (for the toast) were filled in advance.... making the sparkling wine flat and the water warm. Furthermore, not one server visited tables in my immediate view...the whole barn...to refill water or wine. Red and white wine were to be served. We were also told that the barn would "be cool, trust me," (Leigh Clark). However, one corner fan was not turned on, the other was broken, and all the windows were closed. It was a hot day made worse by no air flow. I went to reach table stains the windows and told them to open them. It did rain right before the ceremony, but there was time during the ceremony to open these windows and create a cross draft. The flow of the evening was rushed and out of order and not what we had requested. The "money" dance was done first when it was expressly stated during the planning stage that the dance must be reserved for the very end of the wedding. At that point, the bouquet and garter toss, as well as the cake cutting, happened in short order. Leigh felt the cake cutting was an insignificant part of the reception despite us saying that it has been a fun tradition in our family. We also paid to have welcome bags set up for guests to take back to their overnight accommodations. They were completely forgotten, which puts me in a predicament of what to do with them. There are no handicap parking spots and no clear parking spaces. The venue needs this desperately, especially to make easy access for the golf cart shuttles. (Gravel can be spraypainted.) Leigh and her limited staff, along with our paid photographer, thought it appropriate to sit at outdoor guest tables to eat. Staff should never take seating away from guests, especially to eat. Ever!!! Sadly, many guests came to us during the reception, informing us that Leigh was rude to them, not knowing who she was. At one point, Leigh became highly agitated with the parking situation and golf cart shuttle accessibility. She was recorded by one guest exclaiming she was "f......g done." I was also told by Leigh as she carted me to the farmhouse to retrieve a pair of shoes that if I was longer than a minute, she would leave me there and I would have to walk back. (In the heat, in my gown.) When we came in Monday to retrieve leftovers, I was told that although the soft pretzels and pepperoni rolls can leave with us, the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate could not because of food safety issues. With everybody touching both the pretzels and the s'mores, I couldn't see where the food safety issue came into play. We paid for these bonfire snacks and left with half of them.

I spent two years planning my wedding at Chanteclaire Farm. It was -in my humble opinion- one of…read morethe best weddings ever! When I first visited Chantelaire with my parents when we were venue shopping I immediately fell in love. The owner, Leigh, has become a friend of the family due to her playful, but firm attitude towards wedding planning. She knows all. Trust her! Her team knows how to throw one hell of a party! I worked with Caroline (day of coordinator) for about 2-3 months before the actual day. She was such a help. Chanteclaire is an all-inclusive venue, so for 1 price, you are getting the venue (a beautiful, nay, stunning historical barn set with chandeliers), a ceremony space located next to the barn over looking the pond, food (amazing), place settings, tables, chairs, linens, and they have a store room with decor that you are welcome to use, DJ, and planning services. We also had our after party here for an additional charge of a few hundred dollars. This included a massive bonfire with s'mores and they moved our alcohol outside for us. At the time, 2015 (I booked in 2015 and was married in 2017) when we booked they were able to allow BYO alcohol. I am unsure if that is still the case, but WOW did it allow us to save some $$$. The venue throws planning events twice a year once you are booked for you to tour the property, meet some vendors, do your tasting, and touch base with your planning team. At the time, they gave 6 tickets per couple which was great because it allowed each couple to bring their parents. This was incredibly helpful for us because we also threw our rehearsal dinner at Chanteclaire - to make it easy as it was an out of town wedding for our guests (and us). We also rented the two overnight properties for the weekend. One was the cabin and the other the farm house. It was so nice being able to stay close to the venue all weekend. Something to note is that the decor in the basement cocktail area space was recently redone and it is GORGEOUS! I know Leigh plans to do more renovations for the future. A few years ago they had their silo redone and converted it into a bar - it's one of the coolest bars I've ever seen. We had such a blast planning and partying all weekend long! I wish we could do it again!!!

It was located on the back road from the main street down the hill on what looked like a small farm. There was a beautiful pond just behind the B&B but it was partially frozen. The scenery was amazing to look at plus they had a small red barn just to the left of the entrance. When we entered we were greeted right away. We received a free bottle of wine and 2 glasses to take home with us with inscriptions of the bed-and-breakfast name on it. The rooms were very clean and well-kept although I do want to complain that the bed was not as comfortable as I thought it would be but it was rather stiff and bouncy. The pillows weren't comfortable either they were flat instead of fluffy like the kind I'm used to. When evening came we decided to get into the Jacuzzi but when I ran the water for some reason it looked brown. I took a clear glass and scooped some water out just to make sure and thought it was okay to get in the tub because the glass was clear. I later developed a rash on my neck and four arms and thighs from what I now know is called hot tub rash. I thought it might have been a necklace I began wearing but when the rash started showing up on other parts of my body that the necklace had never touched, I knew that this had to be it. The staff was very friendly and accommodating but another downside to this place is that the walls and floors are extremely Hollow. I could hear the guest above me walking around and making noises that sounded like they were bowling. we had to ask them to settle down so that we could sleep. I could also hear people talking out in the common room as if they were right next door even though we were a good 30 or 40 feet from the entrance. Breakfast was very good in the morning so I have no complaints about the food it's sad to say though they had to waste a lot of it because people didn't eat. There's one kitchen that all the guest shared that included a refrigerator, stove and cabinet space. A lot of the people there were very friendly and allowed us to partake of their food and drinks while we were there. The BnB also supplied snacks and beverages for us to enjoy. I'm not sure about the other rooms but our room had a Jacuzzi and a fireplace and a king size bed. I didn't get much sleep because of the room being so bright do to the fact that they have those candle lights in the windows. The owner said that I could have unplugged them but I didn't want to bother with their decorations. I'm very upset that I have to give this place a low rating it was so beautiful upon first sight but after the fact it was just upsetting. I would probably only return here if I was able to sleep upstairs and be sure that my hot tub was cleaned properly.

During our time in Deep Creek, we decided to visit Wisp Resort. I was looking forward to visiting…read morethe Wisp Resort largely because of their mountain coaster. Upon arrival, I noticed how run down things seemed. The parking lot was in bad shape and there were piles of stuff just hanging out behind different buildings. I couldn't tell if they were renovating or what but definitely not how I envision a "resort". I was not shocked to find that the mountain coaster was out of order. Went with the vibes I was getting. We pivoted and rode the lift to the top. It was a beautiful ride, we saw some animals and lots of interesting plants. Once at the top we hiked around a bit and watched some people do the white water rafting. It wound up being an ok time for my family and I despite the coaster being down.
