We are a large group that came for a training, the "executive director" gave a seriously lack luster apology to our group in which she insinuated that those who experienced the issues may have brought the bugs, which was highly inappropriate and offensive given that the establishment has "an established protocol" and infeates in in-house machinery they use to "treat" the rooms. This is an established issue here and dont stay here or they will blame you too!

I've been to the Heritage House as a guest/attendee a few times - for events both grand and simple…read more- and nothing ever seemed out of place. Easy to find heading east from the interstate on Plaza Drive / Hwy 150, less than a mile after the bend and set back a little from the street. Big fountain up front (which may or may not be gurgling) and plenty of parking in a lot shared with the funeral home around back. The facility itself is clean, simple, and medium fancy; suitable for quiet dignified affairs but easily dressed up for elegance or extravagance and there's a patio around the fountain if the weather is agreeable, also has a large canopied entrance fronting a foyer if the weather turns foul. The kitchen is equipped with coolers, heaters, ice machine and dish washer to handle your food service needs. Last time in was for an anniversary party seating 100+ people plus a two-line buffet with space enough for dancing and cavorting into the evening. I can't say as how I cared much for the music selection but that's more on the hostess than the facility.

We live in the Charlotte area and needed a venue for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. We were…read morelooking for an Elegant venue to accommodate our over 150 guests for a reasonable rate. We found The Heritage House via google. Our first contact was with a very pleasant woman named Andrea. She answered every question I had without rushing me and then offered a tour of the event space. The Venue was very easy to locate and looked nice from the outside with a big fountain out front Perfect for pictures. When we first walked in the building it smelt and looked very clean(which was very important to me). Andrea was as pleasant in person as on the phone and everything she said about the space was accurate from the big screen TVs and kitchen to a sound system and other modern amenities. Simply put this Venue was everything we were looking for to make our special day amazing, Thank you Andrea and Heritage House LaDonnia and Jeffrey

Swim area only: I drove an hour to see if this is something I'd want to do with my grandkids when…read morethey visit. Glad I did. First it's much smaller than I expected. I've swam in quarry's 20x bigger easily. This was MAYBE the size of a 50 meter pool ( Olympic). 2 places to jump in, there was no swing into the water, no zip line. No diving boards. No rock or beach area at water level. A small platform in the middle. Overall just not impressive at all. I can see why they have a 10-3 and 3:45 to close swim splits as it's so small it would become very crowded. I can see it would be a good place for locals to take a dip but at $30 plus you have to buy all food drinks there. Bathrooms were clean. Overall not a great experience

I would recommend the 3:45pm to sunset option if you are going in the summer time. The whole grassy area and patio is in the shade which was so nice. The life guards are friendly and we were able to try all the jumps around the area. 30$ per person, including the 5$ reservation fee. It's cash only once you're there, so plan ahead. When we arrived, we also got a 5$ coupon for the restaurant so technically it's like 25$ a person if you end up buying food. The food was reasonably priced and was good quality. They have beer on tap too that was 6$ for about a 12oz. Lots of areas to jump off and space to swim around without it being too crowded. You'll have to do a swim test which is really easy. You jump in, swim to the platform, tread water for 1min, and then swim to the exit ladder.

So it was a bit chaotic when we first boarded, took a good while to get drinks but the bartenders handled it with grace and friendliness. The bigger portion of the boat was upstairs where it could fit more people. However the indoors downstairs did have ac and a few seats. Only were seats around the bar upstairs. The ride took 3hrs, on a beautiful day it's an epic trip. It was hot but no rain to ruin it so it worked out perfectly. They had a dj onboard, don't know if he is part of the yacht crew or if he was hired by our social group. In any case he was awesome.

While it took a bit to get there (lots of turns and country roads) I was very impressed by the setting. From the location where Joe and Jen were married to the barn where we drank, ate, and danced. The decor was beautiful. I loved the way they set everything up. There were approximately 100 people in attendance. There was plenty of room. This venue met the personality of the bride and groom. The entire evening was organized yet laid back. The owner was there to assist with any needs. I didn't realize he was the owner as he appeared to be one of the guests! I recommend this venue if your want to be married at a beautiful location in the country. They appear to be busy so visit and schedule ahead of time. There are lots of additional information on their website!

Perfect setting for private events, girls or couple date night. This place is/ was a hidden gem. Unfortunately they are closing down this month. We had an absolute fabulous time.

The wing meat was seasoned and so good. There was also a fabulous DJ that kept the crowd engaged. I wish iI had found them sooner.

Firstly this establishment is owned by two sisters. They were absolutely amazing, the ambiance was nice, a small intimate space but there was room enough to get up and cut a rug! Unfortunately they will be closing their doors permanently. This beautiful gem is located within a shopping strip mall and is so easy to miss, the vibe here was so good I hate that I have not known about them up until now as I could definitely see myself coming here more often now that I have been here. Parking was plentiful! Service was slow, but they were down about 4 staff members so there was literally only one person taking orders, preparing and serving the food, so we completely understood. And plus the service was great so it definitely made up for it! They paired the girl scout cookies with the wine and had us score the pairing. The host was very engaging and gave us a description and origin of each wine that was selected. I've neve experienced anything like this, it was so engaging and well orchestrated. They had a small menu of items that you could order for small bites. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was really yummy! And the garlic Parmesean wings, the wings had a bit of a kick to them and were a bit too salty for my liking, but they were cooked well and very meaty, if you like that sort thing! They also had 5 dollar drinks/cocktails available to order a well. The entire time they had a DJ playing all the hits and after the wine tasting, people got up and danced, laughed and had a good Ole time on the dance floor. It was such a great experience! I'm really sad that our community didn't show up enough to save this gem, I hate to see spaces like this go. But, I'm wishing the owners much success and blessings. Their closing day is March 14th 2026 and they are going to have a celebration, go out and support them!
