It's…read morenever overly crowded, it has a gorgeous view, and the wood cabin style lodge is incredible on a snowy day. As for wine - the Cab Sav and the Cuvée are my absolute favorite bottles of wine. I serve it at almost every dinner I host and everyone always raves about it. Definitely add this one to the list while you're on your winery hopping trips in VA. You won't be disappointed.

We were married here on 10/22 and the entire experience was beautiful and stress free. The whole planning process was so easy and Anthony and Natallia go above and beyond to curate and elevate your event while making it your own. I had my full trust in their design expertise and gave them so much control and I'm so happy I did because it was absolutely beautiful (trust the experts!). My florals were more beautiful than I could've even imagined. The whole experience is a family affair. There's no stuffiness or cookie cutter event experience you are interacting with some of the most genuine and kind people that keep that wariness while also being the utmost professionals. Even while we were getting ready we felt we were absolutely taken care of by the staff (Ava in particular was extremely attentive and kind) And the food is just incredible! From our tasting, to our breakfast, no one goes hungry here. They are extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies and every single thing I tried was *chef's kiss.* The BnB rooms are clean and cozy and well-decorated. They come stocked with snacks and most essentials you may need and one of my bridesmaids now wants to know the mattress brand because her bed was so comfortable. We cannot wait to get our professional photos back and we are so happy that we have new friends in Natallia and Anthony!

Aesthetic: Gorgeous Vineyard with views galore and delicious food and tapas…read more My Favorites: The Spinach Dip! Experience: Wow, the views make it so worth the drive. This stunning vineyard had delicious wines and food. Luckily they had incredible gluten free bread which was great since most of the family is GF! We shared a couple bottles, spinach dip and cheese plate. I will say, the spinach dip was the highlight, it was seriously unforgettable with the gf bread, I'll be dreaming of it until our return to VA.

They did not help us find new tables or move our food and drinks. They did this to about 8 other tables nearby too. Have signage, be organized, don't come to paying patrons demanding we move in a tone like it's our fault. This is after we prepaid for food (with tip), some orders hadn't even arrived to the table yet. They told us have one person stay behind to wait for it... Just rude. I won't be back.

Great, underrated track way out in Virginia. Holes 5 and 18 are fantastic, reachable par 5s. Both…read morehave risk/reward second shots that ask different questions. I also love the hole 1 and 10 combo. Hole 2 is stunning too as it goes straight up the hillside with a stone wall and a severely sloped green. More room right off the tee than you would initially think. But this course is noticeably better from the blue tees than from the tips. Several blind tee shots from the back tees, the biggest being 17. It could easily become a fantastic drivable par 4 with water left and OB right. The other thing I would change is making those yardage features much smaller. They were trimmed recently and dozens of golf balls could be found by looking into them. I've lost a few in them over our rounds here. But I love the vibe here and welcome any opportunity to come back. And go see Robin Beach, their new pro. He's the man!

Extremely laid back environment and definitely not the same old stuffy environment that too many clubs have around here. The course is always in great shape, even during the winter months and pretty difficult. There's opportunities to score if you know the course but miss your shot and you can end up in a bad spot and struggling to save par. A full driving range, putting green and chipping green. The only issue is there are no lights on those facilities so trying to get out there and practice during the winter months can be tough and they're closed on Mondays. They've done a great job with upgrading the pro shop and always having new products in there. The restaurant and Tavern is beautiful and I'm sure will be a great place to hang out and have dinner and a beer after a round during the summer months. If you've considered joining I'd definitely recommend it, the pricing is great especially with the amenities and access you get.

All very cool and the food was great. Customer service was also great. My only issue was the wine and beer selection was limited and didn't include local selections. The line for the bar went through seated areas inside and did not allow for proper social distancing. But there were outdoor eating options, which is the best anyway for the view of the property, wildlife, and surrounding mountains.

My wife and I were keen on finding a venue that had a vibrant nature and outdoorsy vibe. We were…read moreimmediately charmed when we first saw East Lynn Farms, and met the team behind its operation. The owners Georgia and Peter were incredibly supportive, and gave sage advice throughout our planning process. In addition, Alyson, who handles the emails for the farm, was always incredibly quick to provide responses to our questions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. We visited the venue a couple times throughout 2019 between January and our wedding this past September. It takes some imagination to picture how the grounds would look like on your wedding day, because it transforms so much with each season. However, we thought it was gorgeous and made for a terrific backdrop each time we visited regardless of the season. The farm is between an hour to an hour and a half outside of D.C. so it is a fantastic option for getting a rustic venue space that is still accessible for our friends living in the city and the families flying in to Reagan or Dulles. There is a lot of flexibility for events at East Lynn Farms, which may be a stressor for couples depending on their appetite for DIY versus a turnkey wedding option. The farm includes some decorations and a list of recommended vendors, but we were not restricted to the list as long as the vendors we chose had the appropriate license and insurance. The farm allows you to provide our own beverages for events, and we were able to save quite a bit by sourcing our drinks from Costco rather than ordering through the caterer. My wife and I were initially worried about how hot might be at the tail end of Summer, and we contemplated renting fans or A/C units for the wedding. Thankfully, Georgia advised us that the surrounding mountains provided the area with a cooler ambient temperature and a reasonable breeze that negated the need for that hefty expense. On our wedding day, the weather was perfect! Even at the peak of the afternoon it never got so hot that it was uncomfortable to wear a suit jacket, and at the end of the night it wasn't so cold that one needed a jacket. There's no limit of the amount of praise and recommendations my wife and I would give to East Lynn! We honestly couldn't have imagined a better place to have our wedding!
