    One word.... Fantastic! This place has everything that you would want in a relaxing get away…read more They have a beautiful home that is clean and friendly. Their home is your home when you stay there. Bubba and Margie are the owners and they are dynamite people to sit an d chat with. Bubba has some great stories to tell and loves to tell them! Margie's talent is to make you feel at home with scrumptious goodies and a breakfast to die for! There are not words to describe the beautiful location that they occupy. It is a peninsula of land surrounded by a gorgeous lake and wild life. Please see the beautiful photos. I met several people that are return guests and they tell me that if you stay here, it will be very hard for other B & Bs to compare in many ways. They have many rooms in the house that are for adults only and then they have several guest houses on the property for families or groups to rent out. They have all the amenities that you would expect like boats, paddle boats and fishing poles to name a few things. This place is a nature's paradise with animals and activity where ever you look. You can nearly hand feed chipmunks at the front door if you like to that kind of thing. The way that I found this place was when my boss booked this as a off site meeting for a couple days where the management team mulled through ideas and business decisions and then have our wives stop up there on Friday evening to have a casual weekend. The charm of the people, food and location is unlike anything else you will find. Enjoy yourself and relax. I am already planning another trip back.

    I have to say I have mixed feelings about letting you in on one of my greatest secrets. This is the…read morebest place I have ever stayed. The hosts are the most wonderful, sincere people. They spoil us with a delicious breakfast and we love our room. We come every year.

We hadn't ever heard of it, but thought we'd give it a try. What a terrible mistake. The outside is ugly. It appears to be a steel industrial style building and has a sign with chipped,fading, and peeling paint. It's literally a stone's throw from the train tracks. We almost didn't go in. Inside was filled with mismatched tables situated too close together with vinyl table cloths with a tacky grape motif. The decor was what could generously be called eclectic. The service was adequate but not great. The food....was so bad we were to the point of laughing to keep our selves from crying that we had paid $18 per plate. Fatty, tasteless ham; greasy cod; flavorless vegetables; packaged mac and cheese; pastries that looked like they came from a package purchased at a c-store; omelets "made to order" that weren't cooked through. So, so, so bad. PLEASE don't make the same mistake I did. Go somewhere else or stay home and make your own meal. Anything would be better than this!

    I wanted to rewrite our review of The Barn at Dunvilla to give a more complete picture of our…read moreexperience. I deleted my previous review on my own accord because it only focused on the issues, which wasn't entirely fair. First, our wedding day was truly magical and beautiful. The location itself is stunning, and our photos turned out absolutely wonderful. The bridal suite is spacious and well-designed -- it was a great space to get ready in and spend time with my bridal party. The venue host did an excellent job. Anything we needed, he handled quickly and professionally. Several of our guests even commented on how smoothly things went. The venue also provides a chair ramp for handicapped guests, which was appreciated by those who needed it. One of the biggest positives is the flexibility -- the venue allows you to customize your day and make it your own. They also let us have our rehearsal there at no additional cost and allowed us to set up early, which made the entire weekend much less stressful. The venue is reasonably priced for everything it offers, and we appreciated being able to use their décor, which saved both time and money. The owner is pleasant to work with in person. That said, communication during the planning process could have been better. After we paid our deposit to reserve the venue, we had to reach out multiple times over the course of several weeks to get responses to some basic questions. Our DJ also had questions about the sound system and tried reaching out multiple times without hearing back. I asked a couple of times for the venue to contact our DJ directly, and they did so the last time I reached out. When you're planning one of the biggest days of your life, it can be stressful not to hear back in a timely manner. Another area that could be improved was the alcohol setup. The venue is affiliated with Spanky's, which is the only bar service allowed. We were a bit disappointed by that restriction, as we might have chosen a more affordable option otherwise. We pre-ordered through Spanky's knowing our families would be big drinkers, and the required gratuity was over $500 before any services were provided. We would have preferred the opportunity to tip based on service. The day before our wedding, the venue owner mentioned that we should move our honeymoon fund jar so it didn't "compete" with the bar's tip jars. We weren't aware that tip jars would be out for the liquor items, as we felt what we tipped was already generous. The day of the wedding, the tip jar also wasn't labeled to indicate what had already been pre-tipped. Had we known, we could have made a sign explaining what was already tipped. On our wedding day, the bar staff ended up moving our honeymoon fund jar off the bar, and unfortunately, we didn't receive any contributions to it. Afterward, I reached out to Spanky's directly, and the owner was very understanding and made things right. He also said he would look into solutions to prevent this from happening to other couples in the future, which we truly appreciated. Overall, The Barn at Dunvilla is a beautiful and accommodating place to celebrate a wedding. While there were a few communication and coordination issues along the way, our day itself was everything we hoped it would be, and we're grateful for the memories made there. They did apologize for the communication issues after the wedding, which we appreciate.
