They made our dream wedding come true, I could not have asked for a more perfect day, so professional and well planned, Patricia and her team are amazing. The farm views and aesthetic are gorgeous. Loved all the animals especially Roy. We can't wait to go visit and stay at their b&b

Also dress appropriately especially on muddy days, it's a great excuse to bust out the winter boots. The food truck out back pumps out all the food and they have a couple of egg smokers going. We had a relatively large party of 8 but came early and got a table together and enjoyed crepes, eggs with sausage and breakfast tacos (these were my fav!). The food came out at different times but they're trying their best with the small kitchen. We have a family wedding planned on the farm later this year so will be excited to come back and see how they do up the barn venue.

Food portions are generous and flavorful (non-institutional fare). Uniformly friendly and solicitous staff (mostly volunteer). The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. Lots of surrounding woods and trails for private meditative walks. This is a multi-pupose non-profit Catholic facility suitable for various kinds of individual and group gatherings. No TV, radio or clock in your room. Definitely worth return visits! See the website for details - and be sure to check out the origin ghost story!

The staff there was amazingly nice and the food was good with there being plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The spaces for the conference itself were nice comfortable, and all had a spectacular view of the countryside. It would be a great place to have a retreat our conference.

I've come on group retreats and alone for a personal retreat. The food is always good- with healthy options that I appreciate. The trails have been freshened up during COVID pandemic and it's always refreshing to walk along the Monocracy River trails and along the edge of the nearby cornfields at any season. The staff is really committed to their work of hospitality, and there is a gentle and grace-filled presence in this place. The outdoor labyrinth is really great, too!

Skycroft is a great retreat center for groups in the DMV area on a budget. It's 1.25 hours to the…read morenorth of Washington, D.C. in Maryland and it's actually on Google Maps and easy to find. It's an entire campus with several buildings. There are a few buildings for lodging. They are not cabins, but set up more like a motel with rooms with nice beds and a shower. They main center houses the dining hall and conference rooms. Next to that is a building with a coffee shop and the gym is behind this with a basketball and volleyball courts. On the property there's zip lining. If you're a runner, there are many trails to run (or hike). It's a great place for families and your kids will love all the activities! The only downside is the food (unless you already know retreat center food is the worst). It's better than awful, but still nothing to write home about (and everything they make is sooooo unhealthy). They do have a salad bar and chocolate milk, so #winning.

Breaux vineyards is a beautiful winery located in wine country of VA, and I stopped by here with…read morefriends after a day at Harper's Ferry. While there were plenty of groups drinking and dining, we were able to find a place to sit right away. We opted out of doing a tasting and ordered sangria and food to eat. While I think this winery stands out because it actually offers items other than charcuterie, the food wasn't my favorite. The flatbread was bland and tasted like frozen pizza. However, the food really shouldn't be the main attraction at a winery anyway. The sangria was a solid choice. The star here are really the views. It was absolutely gorgeous. They also have live music on certain days. I absolutely enjoyed my time here and will be adding this place to my rotation.

Breaux was the first stop on my Chic Saturday vineyard tour, and it was pretty cool. I came here…read morewith a party of 8 and we had a good time. The staff were very friendly and gave good recommendations. All of us did the wine tasting and when I tell you .. we were feeling it ... lol the wine was hitting! I did not get food but my friends got the panini, and said it was good. They had a beautiful Christmas tree, jewelry vendor, live music, and wonderful views. The only thing is, I wish they had better options for a charcuterie. OHH our server also gave us free samples of wine which was nice. Overall, I would come back here. But I would come back for the wine & probably go to another vineyard for food & charcuterie.
