Pictures do not do this stunning venue justice! I took a tour of the Vista del Lago estate…read moreyesterday and it is a jewel. The estate itself is available to rent out for family reunions, a romantic getaway, or ladies retreat weekends. They can also accommodate events...weddings, quincenearas, corporate events, fundraisers, school proms, etc. Almost any size event or experience can be accommodated. The owners, Frank and Sanam, are very warm and welcoming. They are perfectionists who want to make your experience the absolute best it can be. The home itself is ... wow ... just wow. Magnificent. You pull into the gated drive, there is a beautiful fountain roundabout. Double doors welcome you into the foyer and you are immediately awed by a grand double staircase leading to the second floor. There are so many beautiful and functional living spaces, a pool table, chefs kitchen (perfect for a cooking demonstration experience or wine tasting event), plenty of set up space for caterers and other event staff to unload and organize, a magnificent custom built dining table with velvet brocade chairs, more crystal chandeliers than I could count! My husband would die for the full theater room (complete with three rows of comfy reclining chairs and cozy blankets). Upstairs there are four Juliet balconies overlooking the 20 acre estate and lake. Every bedroom suite has its own bathroom and sitting areas. The master suite has a two way fireplace so you can bask in the warmth in bed and in the sitting area. The master bathroom has a massive shower and bathtub. The bridal suite features a custom sitting area, three salon quality stations, a huge gilded mirror. No detail has been spared for their guests comfort. There are graceful winding stairs leading down to the courtyard from the bridal suite...imagine the entrance a bride could make descending the stairs while attendants rained down rose petals from the balcony! The venue offers many wedding packages, including an all inclusive package...relax and everything is taken care of for you! Plus, you can honeymoon right there on the estate. Wow! Outdoors there are areas for soccer, tennis, a pool, outdoor sitting areas, barbecue area, strung lights, a beautiful gazebo draped in mature wisteria. Oh, and did I mention that there is a PRIVATE LAKE! There are fish in the lake and you are welcome to bring your fishing pole! There is a boat loading dock. The sunsets from the Juliet balcony in the bridal suite are awe inspiring. There are so many amazing possibilities for this beautiful place. Whether you are planning a romantic tête-à-tête, a dance party (no noise restrictions or curfew!), a corporate event, or pampering weekend for you and your girls, or the wedding of your dreams this is the place! I am hoping to hold a fundraiser here next year for a non-profit organization and can't wait to plan it! I hope you are able to come out and plan your event, big or small. Absolutely stunning versatile venue, stellar customer service and genuinely nice owner/operators.

THREE days before my daughter's 15 he tried to breach the contract and offered $3000 to move my event to another location because another person wanted our spot. When we asked him to let us rehearse he agreed to meet us there and NEVER showed up to open. He let us in until 4:00pm the day of our event to install ourselves, something that is time consuming. He was unreliable, lack of communication and unprofessional, to say the least. after tears and anger over this situation we stayed with our spot. The contract is sketchy same as his website.

BBQ sauce is scratch made and so good, we asked for a little more. I got the chance to meet the owner and share how my family has loved the Salty's brand for years and I enjoyed dining experience.
