A small paid staff supplemented by volunteers provides meals, coffee, or just a listening ear to our nation's heroes.

My girls and I felt pampered and relaxed in our separate and spacious area :) My wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside by the pond in the beautiful green pasture, bright white fences and the covered bridge in the background- I was so excited about it! Due to weather we had to move the ceremony inside the barn. The main 'barn' space was easy to transform from a structured ceremony space to a relaxed and open reception party. Michelle Cornell was an amazing wedding coordinator- organized and kept everything on schedule and I didn't have to worry about anything on my special day! Hal was an entertaining and engaging MC- we got so many comments from our guests about how beautiful and fun our event was!

We still cannot get over how beautiful every single detail of our wedding day was here. We had zero stress the entire day and every single guest would not stop raving about how magical this venue was! They have every detail figured out! We dropped off everything for the venue days beforehand so we wouldn't have to worry about anything the weekend of our wedding. The owner, Stephanie Watson, took it upon herself to make home-made brunch for all of the ladies when we arrived on wedding day, and we relaxed on the scenic property until it was time for hair/make-up. Pre-ceremony was so dreamy and fun, and the wedding itself was so the most amazing experience of our lives. Anything we wanted to incorporate into our wedding, this team made happen! WORTH EVERY PENNY! And your money is supporting an absolutely amazing family and group of people! Thank you to every single one of you!!! We love you guys!

Disappointing. That's really the best word I can come up with. I've stayed in several hotels in…read moreJacksonville, some for as little as $55/night, and got a nice room (albeit in an extended stay hotel). So when this place was listed at $75/night I thought that by comparison to the others where I've stayed, this MUST be nice, right? WRONG. The overall feel is that the place is old and the owner doesn't want to invest in upgrading it. The young man who checked me in at the desk was awesome, very friendly and helpful. But once I reached my floor, it was all downhill. The entire floor smelled strongly of bleach, as if they'd just cleaned up a large spill of some kind, and there are bleach stains all over the carpet. The carpet is old and ratty, almost threadbare in some places. And the shower.....well, just take a look at my picture for more info on that. I didn't take a shower here, I just washed off at the sink and went on to my next destination. The bed was comfortable, so that and the friendly staff are the only reason they didn't just get one star. But they seriously need to do something about that smell, the nasty shower heads, and reduce their price to compete with others in the area.

It is so much fun and we all enjoy it. I definitely recommend anyone visiting the area to go play. ** Our only critique in the last several years is that they have started letting employees join games when you don't have enough people. It wouldn't be a problem if they weren't destroying everyone trying to play to have fun with their family. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoy it and will still play, hopefully with 0 employees next year.
