What an exceptional weekend this was. Keith, Devin (his daughter!), and the rest of the crew were…read moreaccommodating, kind, and efficient since the very beginning. They helped contracting for and planning around this event so easily. A group of us (friends/classmates) came for a get-away retreat from the city, and the entire time, we were in awe. Nothing can beat the space itself (vast, lots of room to hike, bonfire, yoga; we even had a track&field style relay in the backyard). The rooms were nice, spacious, and comfortable. There was a lot of sitting room/smaller living rooms, so we could all take time to be in smaller groups if we wanted to. The game rooms and movie theaters were wonderful and kept us occupied all weekend. The kitchen is marvelous, and we just kept cooking all weekend because we were so obsessed. We played trivia while drinking wine in the sitting room/family room with the fireplace. Above all, Keith and Devin are great hosts. They were onsite (in a different building, so it was enough distance to give us privacy but not too far and were always available if we had questions), responsive, and understanding. I contacted Keith some time in December of 2023 to learn more about the space, and while we had other options, the clear respect and compassion Keith exuded for me as a potential guest and the passion and excitement he had for the space really drew me in. He even offered a group tour before signing the contract. I trusted him entirely, and he was absolutely so generous and fair throughout the whole process. We're coming back in less than three months because our time there was simply magical. It's hard to admit, but part of me hopes it stays a hidden gem just for us to enjoy. Yet, deep down, I know that anyone who discovers this place will feel as blessed as we did. I truly wish for others to experience the joy and tranquility that we found there.

Keith and Lisa were fantastic hosts. Easy drive from the burbs. The warm country setting was the right break from the winter grind.

While the additional fees made the total cost a little higher than I had originally budgeted, I felt the food itself was reasonably priced and well worth it. The food was delicious, and all of our guests were very happy with it. Several guests even asked where I had ordered the food from, which says a lot about how much they enjoyed it. The employees were professional, delivering the food on time and setting everything up beautifully. The presentation was elegant and added a special touch to the event. Overall, I would recommend this catering company for special occasions. The quality of the food, excellent service, and attractive setup helped make my husband's reception a memorable celebration.

I have ordered from here several times as it's only a few blocks away. The time before my most…read morerecent order was awful. I ordered a cod dinner ( which comes with choice of potato and a salad) and a pizza. My husband went to pick the order up and there was no salad or potato! In his defense, he didn't know that it was included. Baked cod was hard and tasted awful. Fast forward to last night's order (same order as the previous one but I got the cod battered). I walked into the dining area to pick up since getting a bartender to acknowledge me was fruitless. I told the waitress my name after waiting nearly 10 minutes and she rudely told me to go pick it up at the bar. I told her I ordered online and already paid so she told me to hang on. Another good 5 minutes goes by and a different waitress brings me a pizza and 1 Styrofoam container. I checked it and told her it was supposed to come with a salad. She rolled her eyes and finally ended up bringing it out. Well, the battered fish was doughy so I only ate the actual fish. They have certainly lost my business. So much for trying to support local businesses.

If you are a do-it-yourself kind of couple, the shabby chic type or just like the countryside, this…read moreis pretty much the ultimate wedding party venue. Lemme tell you why. First and foremost: the price. Think of what a venue that allows a 2-night stay for 10 people and hosts up to 150 would cost. Then divide that number in half. And then do it again. And possibly again. I am talking LESS THAN $1000. Total. Now factor in what you will save by having the freedom to bring in all of your own food and booze. It's cray cray. The house itself is gorgeous. Turn of the century, antique fixtures, new appliances. The grounds are very pretty and well kept. The owner, Jerry is very possibly the nicest and most accommodating guy on the planet. If you book here, please be kind to him. He's the best. It is a bit far if you're coming from the city (about 1.45 mins) but it's a nice little getaway and totally worth the mild inconvenience. Trust me, guys. This is the place.

Lots of interesting stuff hanging on the walls, although that moose is a misrepresentation, you can't put double horns in there and expect people not to notice. Really what I loved the most was the cash register they had behind the bar. The food was OK. Not great.! first of all the meat was phenomenal. I had the New York strip. But the salad and all the sides were worse than a cafeteria. Like really really poor. It doesn't increase food cost that much to throw a little mixed greens in your salad so it's actually healthy. Overall, I had a great experience but it's because I love good steak. Personally, I think high-quality sides make or break a restaurant.
