We had my daughters birthday party here recently. I couldn't have been happier with the way the…read moreparty turned out. The prices are more than reasonable and all of our guests had a blast. The horses were in "costume" when we arrived with a blanket and headpiece to coordinate with a costume for each child as they ride. My daughter lived the unicorn princess costume and the boys loved the prince/knight costume. There was a game that they played with the kids as they ride and it included several other kids. So even though only 3 ride at a time, there was always 6 involved and the other kids played cornhole while waiting their turn. The only thing I would have changed is the party room. Setup was cute and they did work with me on decorations. It was very small. Barely enough room for kids and really not room for parents. It was insanely hot in there. There was an AC but I guess they forgot to turn it on and we thought maybe it was broken. The room was also pretty dark with very little natural light so not great for pictures (because I'm picky like that - I love to take nice pics). I almost wish we could've had a picnic table under a tree somewhere instead. Overall I would def go there again and highly recommend to anybody for a party!

She's very intuitive and knows how to communicate instruction to help you become a better rider, whether it's English or Western riding. Anne & Peyton truly care about the animals and the people that board and ride at their farm. Cedar Lake is a haven for me to visit after working in the corporate environment all day. The atmosphere and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and a welcome change from the day-to-day. There are a lot of activities for both kids and adults. They are very active with local animal charities and give back to the community.

I wrote an accurate experience I had with this boarding facility regarding multiple attempts to…read moreschedule a farm visit. This was true and accurate. I just received an email from them, below in quotes, is their response: "No visit was scheduled as the barn network suggested issues, which were validated by your actions. All barn owners openly exchange details and communicate short tempered impatience owners like this to avoid the dramatic impact this lack of maturity can have. " My response is: 1) sending a personal note like this to my personal email is very unprofessional and may be considered bad conduct by a business owner using the internet to bully a potential client. 2) no visit was scheduled, that was the point of my original review, I couldn't get an appointment through the methods given through their business internet site. 3) If I ever get another email by this business again, I will be filing with The Attorney General's Office of North Carolina.
