Still with the feel and authenticity of a farm barn on an actual farm. I'm a recovering city girl so take this with a grain of salt. Loved that we could stroll by/through the nearby animal pens amidst gorgeous flowering bushes. Chickens, Llama, and other exotic creatures for animal lovers. All made wonderful by a September bright sunny day. Plenty of parking. A little drive from Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti but totally worth it.

It was spacious and warm for the 30 of us just when the weather hit below freezing for the first time this season. Dawn Farm is also great for walking meditations to see all the variety of barn animals! As I was driving away, I noticed a sign that they sell eggs there for $3 a dozen and I honestly wish I could have bought some before I left.

The owners, George and Mirela, were beyond accommodating by servicing every need and helping us make the day everything we dreamed it would be. I cannot express enough how beautiful of a venue the Historic Blum Barn is. From the landscaping to the overall design and craftsmanship of the barn, you are getting a quality that you won't find anywhere else. The owners were so amazing to work with! No matter what it was, George and Mirela made it possible; they were by our side every step of the way and took so much stress off our shoulders. If you considering a wedding or special event, you've come to the right place. You really can't go wrong with the Historic Blum Barn. The owners are flexible, extremely helpful, and they will make your dream into a reality.

It is so well taken care of by the owners and it shows! Mirela and George went above and beyond to make our day special and exactly how we wanted it. They are both so genuinely kind, and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. George was our officiant and did a perfect job. He met with us beforehand and went over the ceremony with us a few times leading up to the wedding to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Our day was truly perfect and ran so smoothly, thanks to them and their amazing assistant Grace. I cannot recommend the Historic Blum Barn enough!!

What a NIGHT! Our class was celebrating our 20th HS reunion at another local venue, then came here…read morefor an after party. Arrived around 9pm with NO line. It was also fun locating it, since it's a speakeasy. It lives up to its name: rabbit hole. Every direction leads you down a different "hole." We kept hearing, "wait! What's down here?!" We didn't book a space; just showed up. PLENTY of seating if you're not out on the dance floor or by the bar. $5 cover (hit the clubbin' nostalgic button). DJ was bumpin, drinks were flowin, bartenders were FABULOUS, and the crowd was hype. We are all approaching 40 (millennials) and didn't feel out of place once. We were actually the life of the party if you're looking to have a fun night out without the college youngin's; come here. Parking: garage right across the street! Attire: NOT what we wore in the early 2000s. Peep the photos to see what we wore

We spent a couple nights at Stone Chalet, and are glad we did. It's about one mile from where…read moreTherese H. grew up, and near the homes of two other family members. More important to you, it's nestled in a beautiful neighborhood about one mile to most elements of the U of M central campus. So you can walk, if you're so inclined, and five to ten minutes in a car gets you to any number of important or interesting places. Parking is on the street, which turned out to be no problem, as there always were plenty of spaces near the entry sidewalk. Perhaps it's helpful to say that the Stone Chalet campus is the site of a former Unitarian church. That's how I remember it, driving/jogging by during student years. Therese remembers it was the site of piano recitals. Anyway, the former "main building" has been converted to an event center (we didn't spend much time there) and the former parsonage converted to guest quarters. Our room was Alice-in-Wonderland themed, spacious and cozy for an autumn visit. Breakfast was ordered via an app, with many choices, including gluten-free options for Therese. If you want a good and even inspiring conversation, seek out the owner Vincent, who can share some fascinating stories about real estate and his efforts to purchase, maintain, and make profitable the Stone Chalet property. We enjoyed our time here, and wish Vincent, Daisy, family and staff, all the best. Thank you, Stone Chalet.

Food: 5/5. We tried their grilled chicken sandwich, their 1/2 pound hamburger with cheese and bacon, and their club salad with dried cherries and pecans. All were done nicely and tasted yummy.

The setting is lovely -overlooking the golf course and water. We didn't eat inside but the bar area where we ordered was clean and attractive and the patio where we ate had tables well spaced.

The reception was inside the Raisin River Room and it was adorable! The tables were smaller but fine. They had boosters and highchairs already at the tables for guests with children which was thoughtful. The food was AMAZING. I loved everything I ate (sorry I didn't take pics but I was having such a good time!) The staff was so kind and professional. I used to be a server for events like this so I know what their protocol is but man, it's still annoying when they clear your water glass by 8pm if you're not sitting down. I was also interested as to why the tables were laid out how they were because the reception was not having any dancing but there was a big open space that could have spaced out the tables more comfortably. Oh well. I'd love to attend another event there and see inside the Carriage House
