“We were lucky enough to discover this venue for our wedding in September, it is an absolute gem! Stephanie and Paul were so easy to work with and made sure everything was perfect for our dreamy weekend. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for an outdoor, rustic, farm wedding with exquisite views, flowers gardens and magic in the air!”

“Our company hosted an end of the year party here and everything was FANTASTIC! The long branch owners are extremely charismatic, friendly and really great to work with. We had a corn hole tournament, amazing bbq lunch buffet, open bar and access to all of the cool indoor/outdoor spaces on the farm. There were other fun things to do including looking at all the cool "wild west" theme barns, sling shot, mini golf, seeing animals, etc. All in all, really fun experience and such a great place to go with a large group of people. Thanks Long Branch team!”

“Our wedding would not have been the wonderful, perfect, and flawless event it was without Joe. We loved the facilities OVY offered and they were very well maintained. From the bathrooms, to the trails, Redwood ceremony site, lawn for Yoga, to the main hall, everything was in great condition. Joe was very attentive and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. He had a wonderful attitude to work with; his even keel nature helped on a big stressful day like our wedding. We are deeply appreciative to Joe and OVY space for cultivating and curating our perfect wedding day.
We look forward to suggesting OVY to others as a great place to gather in any capacity. Maybe even doing anniversary reunions as many people have requested.”

“Alpine Hills Tennis & Swimming is an exceptional club that exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of the staff. The service attitude here is outstanding—every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. They truly go above and beyond to ensure members and guests have a positive experience.

The food at the club is equally remarkable. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals served here. Every dish I tried was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared and well-presented. The portions are generous, making it great value for the price. Whether you’re enjoying a post-tennis lunch or a casual family dinner, the menu offers something for everyone, with a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

The overall ambiance of the club is relaxed yet refined, creating the perfect setting for both leisure and sports. Whether you’re here for tennis, swimming, or simply to enjoy the excellent dining, Alpine Hills provides a top-notch experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-managed facility that excels in both service and quality.”

“My now wife (Char) and hosted a camping weekend after our wedding ceremony at Venture Retreat Center. The space was perfect for what we were looking for. It's rustic and a bit rough around the edges, but it has all the creature comforts you would need in a glamping getaway (power, heated showers, a HOT TUB). Janelle was very easy to work with. Venture got hit pretty hard by a mud slide earlier in the year and Janelle was working hard to make sure that we had a good experience and had everything we needed.We catered one of our meals through Loma Mar (and loved it).Venture is a beautiful space, surrounded by a ton of beauty. We hosted a field trip to the beach with a geology talk/tide pool viewing, a crochet circle, karaoke. It was just a lovely space that helped us facilitate community.Janelle had set up a number of bell tents for our guests, which were super clean, and spacious. The yurt provided the perfect heated, powered activity room for our guests when it got cold. The large tent with bed + fridge, coffee, made for the perfect honeymoon suite.We are looking forward to their renovations and returning in the years to come.”
