We stayed here for a couple of nights while visiting Miami University, Sweetie's alma mater, for…read moreher birthday and a football game. The place is amazing- a restored house (or maybe corner store?) fitted out with amazing rooms, done in just the right mix of period and contemporary styles. There's a common sitting room with TV, which we used on the first night when we had the place to ourselves. The dining room is big enough for a big family, and there's a full kitchen which you can use for anything. We just had coffee and heated up leftovers, but it is fully equipped. So, this isn't exactly a B+B- it's BYO Breakfast or whatever- but that works for us. We don't get up for anything at 7am, even breakfast, so a typical B+B can be a waste. This way, you do things on your own schedule. The room was perfect. Comfy bed (though I don't think I would get a pillowtop myself- too poofy.) Dresser, etc., bath with separate shower and tub, everything we needed, done better than our own bed and bath. Free wifi and cable, little touches like good caramels; really, I can't think of anything missing or not up to par. Parking on a quiet side street or in a couple of spaces behind the house. The owner was very friendly, and unobtrusive. She lives nearby, and Brookville is a nice small town. A decent mix of restaurants and shops (lots of places are closed on Sunday though.) Outside, there's a bit of a smell from the Owens Corning factory down the hill, but it wasn't noticeable inside. There's a big lake nearby and a few other attractions. We went ziplining five minutes away. I heard they just did the renovation a year ago, and it is beautiful. Prices are reasonable for what you get- I think $85-120, depending on the room and the day of the week. Wish we could have stayed a week, it was so relaxing. We'll be back someday.

We hosted our daughter's wedding reception at Kayla's Korner at Lake Lyndsay on June 28, 2025. The…read morevenue itself is beautiful, and the lakeside setting made for some stunning photos. However, the experience leading up to and during the event was filled with stress, miscommunication, and disappointment--primarily due to our interactions with Lyndsay Rapier-Phipps. Our initial meetings with Teri and Sam were wonderful--they were kind, enthusiastic, and supportive of our ideas, including adding drapery, fireworks across the lake, access to the décor inventory, and decorating the night before. At $5,000, the venue felt like a great fit. But once communication shifted to Lyndsay, the tone changed. She never met with us in person, and responses became difficult and often frustrating. My daughter even forwarded me texts from Lyndsay saying, "I don't know what to do with this--can you contact them for me?" The draperies turned into a confusing and drawn-out process. I ultimately gave up on it to preserve my sanity. There were differences in what we were told during our visits versus what Lyndsay would email us. The biggest issue was about decorating the night before. We had confirmed with Sam in March and May that no event was scheduled, so we could decorate early. Yet two weeks before the wedding, we were told otherwise. We were offered early access at 7:00 a.m. the day of the event, which Lyndsay called "above and beyond." However, no staff were present at that time, as promised, and the cart and food tables we had spoke about during our planning meeting weren't there. They even did a tour for another party at our venue that morning as we were scrambling to get things done. I was flabbergasted. After calling and texting "Help!" a staff member finally arrived around 9am. We did change the count to include two additional tables just a week before our event (late RSVP's), but the layout had the walkways blocked. The event space says it can have up to 200 people, we had chairs/tables for 150. We had to rearrange every table ourselves that morning--including moving the bridal party tables--causing us to fall way behind schedule even with 20+ people helping. At the end of the night staff began clearing décor before the event had ended. The next day, we realized many of our gold chargers were missing. After contacting Becca, I was referred to Lyndsay, who refused to deliver them and said they'd be mailed in 3-4 weeks. However, after posting my reviews, she texted me to say they would no longer be mailed, and I would now have to schedule a pickup 24 hours in advance to retrieve them. We picked all 80 of them up a week later, and they were still filthy. If we had accidently taken their decor we would have returned it to them directly and they would absolutely be clean. When I messaged Lyndsay about this, she responded with personal insults against myself and said that I was "delusional". It's been 40 days since the wedding and they haven't given us our refunded $500 deposit back. We left the venue immaculate when we left. When I told Lyndsay we would be filing a small claims, she said "small claims could really cost you". I shielded my daughter from all this and she had a beautiful wedding day, and that's ultimately what matters most. I'm not trying to harm any business--this was simply our experience with Lake Lyndsay. Just be aware that while others have had a good experience, there may be a chance this could happen to you as well.

It wasn't just about ghosts and goblins, she really gives you all the history for such a beautiful part of the city. We started at the beautiful Wyndamere with a free drink and some history about how the once historic bank became a jaw dropping venue for weddings, parties and even ghost hunting. They have really put blood, sweat, and tears into it. We walked from Central to Sixth and back. This includes the Sorg Mansion and Opera House and many, many homes in between, including opening the doors to her own home. Being able to see the inside of any one of these historical homes is a real opportunity. The fact that she is restoring, not only a business, but a home in the area says a lot of her dedication to passing on its story to the rest of us. Once back at the Wyndamere, we got to tour the entire building. From both vaults, to the men's Stag Room in the basement, to the acoustic balconies, it's a real sight!

With a capacity of 600, the Starr Gennett Building is one of Richmond, Indiana's most unique and…read morewonderful spaces now available for event use and private rentals. The Starr Gennett Building falls under the umbrella of Richmond Parks and with its unique interior and exterior features is an ideal location for those who want an event with that extra something special. The architecture of the building is incredibly unique. It looks and feels like the historical building that it actually is. The grounds around the building offer picnic tables, abundant parking, benches, a historical sidewalk, and a surprising amount of greenery considering this is actually located in the heart of Richmond. The Starr Gennett Building does not have air conditioning and this should be considered, though it has quite a few grated windows offering a consistent airing out and breeze. However, having just officiated a wedding in extraordinary heat this is definitely something to be considered. There's a Gennett Records logo on the building indicating the building's history. The inside has a strong industrial vibe. I thought of the Circle City Industrial Complex here in my hometown of Indy as a comparison. However, it's just such a wondrous space. It almost makes me want to get married. Almost. Starr Gennett is considered a historic site and a certificate of liability is required to rent it. You also must rent it from 2-182 days in advance. It's available 7 days per week, 8am - 10pm. In case it's not obvious, the building was originally built for the Starr Gennett Records Company and is part of the legacy of Starr Piano Company and Gennett Records. There's a Starr Gennett Gallery and Walk of Fame also located in Richmond. As is nearly always true of historic sites, accessibility is not perfect here. However, it's surprisingly solid and it would be super easy to facilitate a meaningful event here that was accessible to all.

The facility is older, but well kept and had all the basics. This is technically located on the Miami campus, but not close to what you will hit while on a college visit, so you will have to drive to that spot. There were students working at the front desk while we were there and they were very helpful. This visit was during COVID times so there weren't many people around and there was no breakfast.
