We rented out the space through airbnb for a shrek themed get together. We had to cancel with another airbnb the night before the event and so our decision to have it here was very last second and hectic. Heidi was our saving grace. She was an absolutely amazing host. She communicated well, was extremely understanding, gave us all the info we needed, and was just really friendly. The space was amazing. It had everything we needed: clean everything, a large kitchen with all the utensils and cookware I could hope for, plenty of bedrooms, really nice washer and dryer, 3 firepits (that I found, I think there may be more), lots of indoor and outdoor games, and a beautiful slice of nature. I could not be more pleased with our stay. We even extended our stay another night because we didn't want to leave. We plan on going back soon. Thanks Heidi and Brandi for being so great at what you do!
Well we went back and it was just as we remembered it. Simply amazing. We had a blast dancing around the big bonfire. We stayed in and played board games one night while it was rainy. People went on nature hikes and made big breakfasts and took naps. It's such a comfortable place to be. Heidi has done such an incredible job making it a welcoming and well stocked getaway. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a scenic nature getaway with bonfires and comfy beds and a big kitchen and just all the living space. We will be back.

For starters the venue is absolutely beautiful. If you’re looking for a fall outdoor wedding, this is your place. We had plenty of room for our 150-plus guests (yes some had to stand but we knew that going in, not the venues fault at all, we overinvited).
Heidi was fantastic and so accommodating. We had our wedding there and she made sure we had everything we needed that they provided. We rented the house as well. The house has lots of room, plenty of beds, and was super clean and very comfortable. The barn is a great setting for anything, but for sure it’s great for a wedding.
Anyone reading this, please ignore the older negative reviews. The venue has since changed ownership and the new owners are fantastic. 100% recommend!

Our experience with Black Barn at Stone Creek was amazing! From the very first contact, we felt loved and cared for! I would recommend the property for weddings, baby showers, photo shoots, family gatherings, or just to plain get away! The entire staff goes over and beyond to make sure you are completely happy!
My wedding and celebration was beautiful! We couldn’t have pulled this off without them! The pictures I am sharing are not professional ones! We can’t wait to see the precious moments our photographer has captured!

The Black Barn property is a great peaceful and spacious getaway. Our group stayed in the comfortable guest house and felt very welcomed. The house has all the cookware and games we needed to arrive and feel at home. The hosts are great communicators and I hope to book the Black Barn guest house again for future retreats.

What an awesome country home for a relaxing family gathering to reconnect with one another. Eight adults and 11 grandchildren made for an entertaining and active weekend. The 40 acres of trails, outdoor lawn games, fire pit with makings for smores, indoor table games and wonderful sleeping accommodations met all of our expectations and more! Heidi was amazing and communicated with us through our stay. She went out of her way to help set up the sleeping arrangements that included an inflatable queen mattress, port a crib, and two roll a way cots. We had a few questions and Heidi responded in a timely and helpful way. This is a great property for families and larger gatherings. Highly recommended.

I have been a DJ for over 20 years and have NEVER been treated as bad as I did by the owner of this venue. I am posting this to help the young couples who have dreamed about their perfect wedding. The whole barn setting seems to be the fad couples are going through right now. The whole rustic natural feel may be appealing, but you should really look at everything before your dream wedding is ruined. This venue has no heat, no air-conditioning, gaps between the sidewalls, and a metal roof. These are concerns that one should way out. When it rains on the metal roof it is so noisy inside that you can't hear the ceremony or the people next to you. The rain comes in between the side boards onto your beautiful decorations, cake and equipment.... Oh, and the bar and restrooms are outside with no cover. The walking path becomes a muddy half mulched mess that leaves your wedding dress, that you spent so much money on, a disaster, not to mention that it is virtually impossible for any handicapped or infirmed person to access. And, if the handicapped or infirm person makes it to the bathroom, they can not access the actual 'finished' bathroom, but rather have to use a smelly old 'Johnny On the Spot'. There are sooo many other barns that I have DJ'd in that are much better. If it is a beautiful sunny day and you want to have the ceremony outside in their wooded area, just be mindful that you can't use the venue's power. You have to supply your own generator. Why someone would use this venue, I have NO idea. I am not trying to convince anyone to use a certain place, but I am trying to help you not use this place. This venue is for a low-end event. If you think you can't afford anywhere else, keep looking... they are out there. If you decide to use this venue just know that I warned you. After 20+ years of DJing, I have decided to hang it up. Some might think... you're just a DJ, what do you know. After 20+ years of planning weddings and DJing everything from weddings to corporate events, I have seen a lot and learned a lot. At this particular venue I learned that the owners, who used about every profane word in the book, are not good people, but selfish.
In response to the owner... I have no ill will toward you or your husband, but I see that you do towards me. Your response does nothing but verify the anger you have toward me, for telling the truth, and your clients as you posted, "More often than not we are met with rude bride and grooms, rude drunk guest, people with no redeeming qualities...". I am merely giving people, who haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, to know what to expect. I didn't post this comment to tear you down, but rather to be honest in hopes that you and your husband humble yourselves enough to treat people the way they should be treated, which will help you to become better people. Change the negatives into positives and watch your business grow to what it should be. I will not respond to your snide comments about or toward me as I am comfortable with the person I am and know that I am an honest person who treats people with the respect they deserve. Forget business 101... focus more on being a better person and you will find true peace.

I got married a little over a month ago at this beautiful place. When I saw it for the first time I knew it was where I'd marry my best friend. 💛

Stone Creek Ranch was more than i could've asked for in a wedding venue. Mark and Becky did everything they could possibly do to make my wife and I's day special. they have beautiful land, great scenery, and an awesome sunset view. the barn looked amazing at night with the lights shining through. Mark and Becky offered to let us use decorations that they had for our wedding and were willing to move things around for us. When you have a conversation with them you can really tell that they love the land and are proud of how they have built the wedding venue into what it is today.

We went to their pumpkin patch and had a great time. Our kids truly enjoyed it. Mark and Becky was so helpful and very nice. Their little boy Luke is so adorable, he helped our daughter picked out her perfect pumpkin. Can't wait to see you guys soon!

In response to Paige's claim stating that they were not notified of the need for handicap restrooms and that we told her we would be using crock pots instead of roasters. It's simply not true, they were notified. Please see the email exchange attached.

To start I can't believe I actually have to give them a single star. Do not use this place or even think of trying to use. Much to the same points as to the person below they will flat out ruin you're special day. The harassment you will receive during you're ceremony and party will ruin any good that you thought you might have. They claim to have handicap parking accessible bathrooms and venue. This is completely false. The best thing that could happen here is that this place be shut down and these people decide to stay far away from customer service. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!!!!

As a wedding videographer I have been to A LOT of venues. I worked a wedding at Stone Creek in early September and it quickly became one of my favorite venues. To start it is BEAUTIFUL and very well laid out. The owners are very nice and accomadating and had everyone's best interest in mind. Yes, they do have some rules but when you look into the rules and have a conversation with the owners about them, you understand why things are the way that they are (nature preserve) and I had zero problem obliging especially since it wasn't anything crazy or outlandish (don't park on the plants, don't start fires in the brush, don't mess with bee hives, common sense things)

We celebrated our wedding 12/1/2017 at Stone Creek Ranch. The venue and grounds are stunning and Becky and Mark were very accommodating and easy to work with. The barn is beautifully lit at night and was able to accommodate our 100 guests and band comfortably. When we arrived the seating for the wedding was set perfectly and after table decorations were done it was absolutely everything I had imagined for our wedding day. The fire pit was so enjoyable to walk out to as it was an almost full moon night and you could enjoy the stars. Becky is very knowledgeable and helped us to make the best decisions and answered all of my many questions in a very timely manner. They even allowed our furry friend to participate and our pictures of the wedding are amazing. I thank you for making our wedding a most memorable occasion and all of our guests noted that it was one of the "most fun weddings they had ever attended." Thankfully, The Ryan's

This venue is beautiful! The owners are spectacular! They pay attention to every detail. They met all of our requests with nothing but happiness and willingness! All of the things we didn't think of, they had. Mark and Becky were such a pleasure to deal with. They had very clear and understandable rules and guidelines to follow. They have set up everything to make your day go perfectly!
