We had our wedding here and the experience was great! The host let us tour the property before booking and went above and beyond for us. The host gave us their personal number for questions or concerns and always gave an immediate answer. We had a wedding with about 100 people and everyone loved the space. I cannot recommend this place enough! The property is beautiful and there is so much to do there. Between the house, cabins, and reception area we had enough places for about 50 people to stay! They had an additional property that our family booked which was about a mile down the road. The secluded area made it so perfect for a wedding. Didn’t have to worry about a curfew or noise complaints. The area is absolutely beautiful. 10/10 experience and would love a reason to re book!!

The commercial kitchen worked great for our 25 family members. We loved the open/shared lounge, game area, and bar. It was the perfect place for our mixed ages and interests, yet allowed us all to be together. The outdoor areas were beautiful and provided more opportunities for various activities. The location was easy to get to and close enough to French Lick to enjoy activities there as well. Bunk room was great for kids and two joining rooms for teens and twenties. Bedrooms in the house worked good for couples.

This place is so unique and such a great house for large groups. The kitchen has anything that you may need from an industrial ice maker to every utensil. The land has everything from Elk to a cabin built in the 1800s. We had a great time playing games in the banquet hall, theater room in a silo and a covered bonfire area. We are already working on a trip here in the summer.

The owners responded very quickly when an issue arose, were very helpful, yet stayed out of our way. We would all like to stay there again.
