Andres A.

What a phenomenal place. The In is well maintained and extremely quaint and cute. The Inn provides complimentary coffee. Tea and danishes. It is a really nice way to start the morning. In addition the facility has a gym which is small. It has a treadmill, elliptical, bike, row machine and a bench with dumbbells. The gym is adequate enough to get a decent workout in. They also have Ebenezer Tavern which is excellent for food and drinks. For lunch we had the chicken pot pie which was absolutely delicious and the burger which was really good.

The spiced apple pie

This is quite the hotel that dates back to the 18th century. I loved the cocktails and the food was excellent. Our party of eleven had the quiches, salads and crab ac and cheese. The pot roast was a little flat, but everything else was really good. Ladies, if you're looking for a venue for your wedding, take a look here. It's absolutely beautiful with stunning scenery and plenty of room for the wedding party and any out of towner guests.

Roasted Turkey Dinner
Alicia D.

What a lovely place! Had our wedding there. Very organized and friendly, had this historic bliss to it, the smells, the possible hauntings. Anyway, turkey dinner to die for! Also the pecan rolls are outrageously good!

We stayed a second time in a new room. The shower head sprayed a light mist of water instead of a consistent stream, and still smelled weird like the room in the other building. The shower curtain wouldn't stop sticking to my skin and had a weird residue and discoloration like it hadn't been washed. It kept lifting off the edge of the bathtub and sticking to my skin. I kept hearing random knocks and clicks from the air unit and TV that were jarring and woke me up several times. There were stray pieces of hair (different lengths) all over the floors and on the shower walls, as well as scraps of paper or dirt, and God only knows what this is that I got a picture of from the bathroom floor. They couldn't even be bothered to replace the used toilet paper roll. I don't trust that the towels have been replaced since the last guest and the little box of hand soap looked bent and rough at the edges like it was used previously and put back in the box. This second room had a microwave and mini fridge which the first room did not. The air unit in the first room was able to be kept on all night, but the unit in the second room was on an automatic cycle. When we arrived for our dinner reservations we needed directions to the tap room restaurant, because there are a million signs that say "dining hall" but do not clarify whether that is an event space or restaurant, and ended up being directed to walk straight through some wedding party's event in one of the buildings. There are no elevators or ramps in the building so it is not accessible. Chrissy in the tap room restaurant was a delight and our food was delicious. She was the highlight of our stay. Would not stay here again.

Another good experience this year. They are dog friendly, clean and responsive to questions.

Hi! Has anybody been there for their brunch buffet? I was particularly interested in the Mother's Day brunch buffet. Thank you in advance for any feedback!

It's quite delish and worth every penny. A good variety of different food choices. If you haven't been before you must try their sticky buns ? unless you have a peanut allergy (they have pecans on them)

Are you open on Mondays?

Yes! We ate there on a Monday afternoon in the main dining room.… Read more

4.5 stars Overall I had a great experience working with the…read moreowners of this place and booking a bridal shower for my friend being out of town. I called, they gave me a quote and several days to decide. Once I decided, they send me a contract through email and I mailed back the contract with the check. The place is amazingly beautiful. The room was decorated very nicely. The staff were all very young, probably high school students and greeted us outside in the cold. Once everyone was inside, they service our food. The scones were delicious, tasted home made and the jams and creams were equally tasty. The sandwiches were okay, a little dry but the deserts were just as good as the scones. My only beef about the whole experience was that they used Stash tea bags for the afternoon tea. I mean anyone could buy those tea from the supermarkets. If you go to a place designated for afternoon tea, you would expect at least some loose leaf teas allowing the customers to smell, appreciate, and enjoy all the different tea flavors. If they had loose leaf tea, it would elevate the whole experience ten fold. Also, they had some sort of punch on the side, with no explanation and the punch pitcher did not work so guests couldn't really enjoy it until the very end. The house can host two parties, one on the second floor and the other one on the main floor. The owners live in the same building. There are plenty of parking at the house and also across the street because the owners own that too.

I am so glad I chose this venue for my best friend's Bridal Shower. From the beginning, Corrine was…read moreamazing to work with and was so accommodating in meeting all of the requests I had regarding the date, menu, and decorations. She was always available to speak and no detail was too small for an instant response. The day of the shower went seamlessly! I arrived early to add personal touches, but the entire space was set up for me as soon as I arrived and the staff was so accommodating in helping with anything I needed. As the guests began to arrive, they helped to greet everyone and it was both causal and formal at the same time as the staff passed around breakfast pastries for our brunch and refilled mimosas for everyone to grab upon arrival. When it came time to move into the next room for brunch, one of the two waiters working with us that day made the announcement and helped to guide everyone to their tables. The tables were set up beautifully! We chose to have the "mismatched tea cups" instead of the white ones and every guest commented how adorable and unique they were. The waiters brought a box of assorted tea bags over for each person to choose and everyone loved it! Originally, I planned to use the silk flowers as the centerpieces for the tables, but we upgraded to fresh cut. Even the silk flowers were beautiful and elegant- Corrine has beautiful taste in every piece of decor. Throughout the entire event everyone kept asking how I found out about The Tiffany Juliet House. Everyone was so impressed with the amazing service, the attention to detail ( the light fixtures, the carpet, the window treatments, molding- everything is beautiful inside). I cannot thank Corrine and her team enough for helping to make my friend's bridal shower such a wonderful and memorable event for everyone. They went above and beyond in planning and executing a flawless day and I can go on and on about how spectacular everything was- the food included!

We loved the dramatic ceremony aisle, and the cocktail hour patio space was perfect. The ballroom can truly be transformed into something magical and memorable. Though the venue itself was overall perfect, we did not have a good experience with their so called "day of coordinator" (DOC). There was an extreme lack of communication and professionalism experienced during the rehearsal and wedding day with the DOC. As a Type A bride, I planned every last detail to a T and even provided a fool proof binder of my expectations for decor setup and wedding day flow. On the night of our rehearsal...the day before the wedding, we were informed that the DOC and her staff would not be assisting in the setting up of any of our wedding décor. The only portion of the setup they handle are the tables w/ linens (if you choose to use theirs) and the ceremony chairs. This was not discussed or disclosed to us when booking the venue and had it been, we would have hired an actual coordinator. Due to this, one of my bridesmaids and the significant others of the bridal party had to set up everything the morning of the wedding. Due to the lack of eye for detail and overall care from the mansion's DOC, she did not read the binder we provided her with which in turn also caused our ceremony to be mismanaged. She told the groom and bridal party to start walking before the officiant even began reading the opening remarks resulting in our officiant having to skip over the whole beginning of our ceremony script. We would have been better off without her "help" and "services" altogether as several of our other vendors also commented to us about her rudeness towards them. We also want to share our experience regarding their "open bar" pricing. Due to specific wording in the contract, we were charged an additional (quite significant) amount of money for alcohol consumed. You are not paying for an open bar here but rather by consumption so please be sure you understand your contract fully to avoid this unnecessary additional stress. Overall, we feel the venue itself made our wedding perfect, but we are giving only three stars due to the DOC's behavior, lack of care for the bride and groom and subpar services provided. If you fall in love with the grounds like we did and choose to book your wedding here, the major takeaway we have from our experience would be to hire your own coordinator. You will need someone who always has the bride and groom's needs at the forefront of their mind and someone who truly knows and cares about executing your vision. Your wedding day should be stress-free and that will not happen here without an outside coordinator.
