It has become a nightmare for residents that have actually been here. Live Bowhunters running around the property ruined my 2024 Holiday...as the board refused to tell residents when and where they would be out looking to kill deer. Residents are not allowed to hunt, a strict no hunting policy, but the Board let some unregistered, unlicensed, unbonded company in for over 3 months! They will bleed you dry for funds if they can find a way. Get rid of the HOA and its great. :)

What a wonderful venue for a wedding!…read more The owners were incredible! They really know what they are doing! They made the planning for my daughter in-law's wedding so easy. They are seasoned event hosts, and they live on site. They have also assembled lists of caterers, DJ's and event planners that they have worked with in the past. The venue is an Amish style barn built specifically for hosting events. The main barn is airy and bright, and very clean. The downstairs is set up to host a cocktail hour, has dressing rooms for bridal parties, and restrooms. It is also the only space that has air conditioning. The venue, though, did have big barn doors and fans to move the air. I was happy to say that despite temperatures near 90 outside, it was quite comfortable inside. They have plenty of chairs and tables for, I think, up to 200 guests. They leave it up to the renters for set up, take down, and cleanup. They do provide containers for trash during and after the event. Outdoors, the barn is in the middle of rolling farmland and orchards. The wedding was held under an outdoor arbor, under a shade tree, and looking out to green pasture, farms, and orchards. The evening had a special treat... thousands upon thousands of fireflies! OMG! The perfect ending to a perfect June wedding!

This is a review of this location as a venue. We attended the Robert Burns Dinner here and had a…read moregood time despite the food and service issues. We had Salmon which was overcooked with no seasoning. I couldn't finish even the small portion. A sauce would have helped a lot with the dryness and lack of flavor but there was no sauce. The chicken was also dry but had decent flavor in the skin. The roasted potatoes were good, the mixed veggies had the taste and texture of water. Realizing salt exists would help with a lot of things. The best thing we had was the Haggis and if you'e had Haggis you know that's pretty bad. There was also no effort to bus the tables when everyone was done. A large number of people started doing it themselves. It is a pretty place and I don't know anything about the other elements of the business (the store, etc) but I would not consider it for an event based on this experience.

The Gallery was mostly nice, but we had a disappointing experience due to inaccurate information on…read morethe Inn's website. The website has a whole page talking about how the Inn at Vaucluse Spring has "the best breakfast in Virginia." My wife saw this and it was a major reason she asked me to make a reservation. But I didn't know this when I made the reservation and hadn't seen the website. So when I called and the owner told me that the breakfast would be delivered in the room, I didn't think think anything of it. As it turned out, the "breakfast" was a collection of thoroughly mediocre food picked up at the grocery store--yogurt, bagels, orange juice. The yogurt wasn't event especially fancy. As a result, my wife was disappointed. The host did offer to give us a discount on our stay to compensate for the disappointing breakfast. But he refuses to change the misleading information on his website. To this day, the website brags, falsely, about having "the best breakfast in Virginia," creating the likelihood that other customers will be misled in the future. I could understand if it was still May 2020 and they just hadn't had time to make the change. But the pandemic has been underway for almost a year at this point. It could easily go for another year. And I think it's unethical for a business to knowingly publish inaccurate information on its website.

We cancelled In December of 2014 and also were told it was no problem because another couple showed interest. GREAT!!! I had a friend ride by Heritage Hall and took numerous pictures of an occupied event hall. I waited for a refund, waited more than enough time. I contacted Sharon 4-5, maybe 6 times, she can only pass word from Bonnie the owner. Ridiculous!!!! I keep being told I will get a refund...when?! This doesn't sit well with me seeing she was paid from another couple for the same night. I know times are rough for people, but running a business in this fashion doesn't sit well with most.

During my visit the truck was parked near the Ovoka manor home, but I've seen it at other locations as well, so maybe it all depends on the month.

I got my order with a side of french fries, and those also deserve a special shout out. The fries were the perfect balance of being crispy yet soft.
