There are many birdhouses on the property which draw the birds to the garden. I would recommend this for Garden Club members or small groups. I would not recommend this for small children. There is really nothing to keep them occupied. If visiting, I would say to a lot about 2 hours for the complete tour.

In the next space, the ceilings are high and it's large and spacious for a sit-down gathering - there were tables that could seat at least 6-8 people, but with still plenty of room to move around. I really liked the different sparkly tiles and the chandeliers! Towards the back, you can have a mini buffet, or you can set up a catered area against the wall.

They offer a golf cart to drive you down but again, if your disability makes it impossible to climb steps, you'll struggle to board the golf cart. They could install a removable ramp that would not interfere with the building's structure when they know it will be needed or even tuck a portopotty near the carriage/garage house. Wheelchairs are difficult to push through the grass and gravel. The staff is very friendly and pleasant to interact with. Pick your DJ carefully. The DJ that was chosen for the wedding we attended, rarely played a complete song. Even cutting the 3 important dances short. Unprofessional. The food that was offered for dinner was horrible. I've had better food in a hospital as a patient. The beef was dried out. The seasonal vegetables were the frozen California blend of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots that were complete mush and without butter or seasonings. I didn't try anything else from the dinner offering. Everyone at my table was not happy. We left early enough to be able to get food delivered to our hotel. The appetizers served during cocktail hour were good. The mini chicken and waffles seemed to be a big hit. The dessert table was amazing. I wish they had been full sized desserts instead of bite sized. We tipped our primary caregiver of our table. I wish I had gotten her name. She was older, very attentive and genuinely kind. Her smile reached her eyes which shows she has a good heart and cared about her job and her clients at the table. She had a great laugh too. The wedding coordinator failed to explain to the bridesmaids and groomsmen that they actually had jobs to do besides stand there and look pretty and drink. Groomsmen are supposed to escort women to their seats and bridesmaids/maid of honor are supposed to help keep the bride's train on her dress straight, hold her bouquet at the appropriate time etc. The photographers were amazing and handled herding the people for the photos with an effortless yet strong hand.

We will accomplish this mission by educating, empowering and enlightening the community about the issues of hunger and nutrition Vision: We envision a community in which everyone has access to sufficient, nutritious food.

So when I am out grocery shopping at Giant Food, I watch for good deals on things like canned goods - where I can buy a couple of cases of canned non-perishable items - such as vegetables, soups, fruits, pasta dishes, etc., to take over and donate to the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry. I think it's important as a community to help out those in our community that are struggling and less fortunate. This is one small way I can help out.

I bought my dress from their bridal shop, which was a lovely experience and I LOVED the dress. I trusted them to tailor the dress they sold me, but they did a poor job. First, they took my dress in and literally made it 1.5 inches to small, it would not even zipper. So then I had to come back and they were trying to put boning in, but it did not look good so then I had to ask for them to take it out. And STILL the dress is too small but they would not listen to me when I asked for it to be slightly bigger. It felt like I was being dismissed and they were really poor at communication. I was hoping for better, especially after all of the good reviews, but it did not live up to the expectations. For how expensive they are, I would spend my money elsewhere.

Once I spoke with Jennifer she told me she does parties of all sizes. She told me that she once even planned a Thanksgiving dinner for a family. I started my planning with Jennifer about 4-6 weeks ahead of time and she was full of good ideas. We settled into the idea of a winery birthday for my boyfriend. She planned everything for me and the extra details of personalized napkins and wild flowers on the tables really made the party spectacular. First of all, I'll never have a party without consulting a planner again. They actually save you money in the long run by knowing where to purchase things at the best price. And secondly she is able to make the party unique by finding just the right location. For example I was going to have everyone meet at Bear Chase Brewery for the birthday and have a few beers. But Jennifer found a beautiful manner house at Greenhill Winery. The location was breathtakingly beautiful. (See pictures). Anyhow, the party was a huge success. Everyone had a lovely time and most of all-a memorable milestone event for my boyfriend's birthday. Jennifer Rooney comes highly recommended by me. She's attentive, well organized, full of great ideas, and most importantly made my event magnificent.

She also asked what time we wanted breakfast delivered to the room since that is a benefit of the cottage. There is parking guaranteed right next to the cottage and it seemed enough for two full-sized vehicles easily. Wi-fi worked great. We loved the wood stove. You don't need it for heating purposes but it was very nice and cozy to sit beside the fire. The cottage has a lot of windows to let in natural light which was enchanting in the morning. When you get there you'll realize the room faces the road but you need to worry as they have great privacy shades that also block any night light. The bathroom actually has a wall heater unit installed too. It was so nice stepping out from the shower into a very cozy bathroom space. We slept amazing. If you are a light sleeper you might consider traveling with a white noise machine or downloading an app for that. There isn't really much noise but the very rare car driving past. It was raining for our stay but there is a nice furnished side deck area that would be nice to eat breakfast on. There is snacks and drinks in the main house which is just a few feet from the cottage. They do also have happy hour where guests can mingle too. My husband and I are introverts so we stayed in but felt welcome to go. Overall it was a great stay and I highly recommend staying here.
