I was impressed with how clean it was and it definitely gives a new meaning to a down-home country feel. The hosts Justin and Dane sealed the deal for me. They helped me envision my dream wedding. Thank you, you too. Can't wait to get hitched at the end of 2022. Won't be the last time you see me. You're going to make my family reunion the best by far!

I don't care what there political beliefs are, but IMO, a hospitality service shouldn't do something so provocative in such a divisive climate. I would have had the same issue if it was a Bernie Sanders flag. We went there to relax and get away from the tension. Instead, it's there flying high above the campground. Too bad.

I can no longer eat dairy and they were super responsive to my needs. The food is incredible!! Dairy free chicken pot pie-what?!? Yes please!! The rooms are comfortable and the grounds are beautiful. I always find a new path, or swing or something. Additionally I could sit and watch the birds all day! The cardinals and big blue jay and woodpecker and the list goes on and on. The birds flock to the feeders and I could sit and watch them all day. The also have a pool, hot tub and sauna which are a real treat! It is also conveniently located to the Minneapolis and a super easy drive. I'm looking forward to going back in the winter!

Earlier this month, I was taking a look at Rochester International Airport. In the past, there was…read morenothing but land around the airport. It was a pleasant surprise seeing more development by the airport, from hotels to restaurants. I checked out Rochester International Event Center. I like the fact that if you have a wedding or some major function at this centre, you can fly in, stay at a hotel nearby, and enjoy yourself. This event centre has a ton of parking. It's free, which is nice when such a place is by the airport. You normally need to pay. This event centre has the largest ballroom in Southeast Minnesota. It's over 13,000 square feet. Accessibility is decent, where you can park by the main doors and have those needing assistance enter the centre without dealing with steps or a ramp. This place hosts a number of events, including weddings, conventions, meetings, seminars, and corporate events. It may be a bit far if you live in northern Rochester to some, but it's an easy drive down highways 52 and 63. The food menu looks good. I wish that i was invited to an event at this place! It was nice finding this event centre. There wasn't anything happening when I was here on a Friday evening in early April. Perhaps it's busier on weekends. (165)

Stunning venue!!! I…read moreloved the whole vibe of this farm wedding! The landscape is sooo beautiful and picturesque! Plenty of seating for the ceremony. The reception area is a little smaller especially if you have a bigger group since the tables take up a lot of space. You really could make it your own with the decor you want. The windows are huge so you really do not need much with the nice views. So many areas to take pics, fountains are a nice touch. I appreciate the patio area. I would love to come here just to take pictures! The golden hour is really amazing here! Not a ton of parking though so I'm not sure what they do for a bigger wedding.

The little barn houses, the field, everything was inviting and elegant, yet rustic and homey.

My only gripe was that they did not seem well equipped to handle super cold weather (there were some blankets) but the ceremony was super chilly and I wish the heat was turned on more in the dining area.
