I was there assisting with a wedding, so cannot comment on the rooms. Location was nice, private, a lake in the backyard. All the staff I interacted with were friendly, nice. The meal was excellent, noy sure if it was in-house or catered but it was very good!

Had our wedding here (rented the house for three nights). Just the most beautiful place to wake up every morning, eat a complimentary breakfast and drink coffee by the lake! The wedding space was also so beautiful!!
