OK. I'm a BBQ enthusiast from Alabama and this place more than meets my high BBQ standards. We used…read morego here a lot back in college. The BBQ is South Carolina style, which means it has more of a vinegary sauce and a dry rub. Done correctly, the moist meat will overcome any dryness. They do it correctly. They dole the goods out of the shed behind their house and it tastes particularly good while sitting on the back of a pickup truck with friends. They are also great at catering.

While we weren't able to use Sarah's team for our event due to scheduling logistics, I wanted to…read moreleave a review because I was blown away by how easy it was to work with her for a short notice event. -Sarah responded to my inquiry and we were on the phone within minutes to discuss an event that was less than a week away! -She clearly loves what she does and cares to make your event 100% special and catered to food preferences and dietary restrictions. I was so impressed by how quickly she could come up with various dish ideas based on details of the event and the venue (in our case an Airbnb) -for those booking during covid, she takes safety precautions very seriously and ensures your comfort level -she sources fresh local ingredients for delicious meal combinations I'd certainly recommend Sarah and her team for catering and hope to book her sometime in the future!!

This was the absolute best catering/private chef experience I could imagine. The food was…read morescrumptious, unique, beautiful, and so, so tailored to our needs. Everything was vegan, vegetarian, and organic -- perfectly pleasing the vegans and meat eaters in the group (including one VERY picky eater). The owner is kind, thoughtful, punctual, and super creative. The team was extremely health and safety conscious. We will always remember this experience.

This review is based on my experience as a bridesmaid. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and…read morewell kept. The view of the mountains and lake are gorgeous. It is very spacious venue that can accommodate a large party. It was a working barn that had been converted to a wedding venue. It is pretty much bare bones. On the first floor, It has one male bathroom and a female bathroom with two small stalls. There is also one large handicapped bathroom. There is one groomsmen suite with few couches and chairs and tables. There is also a bridal suite in a converted shed right next to the main barn that has two sinks, a couch, a table, and few chairs. The second floor is where the indoor ceremony and reception takes place. There is ample space outside for an outdoor wedding as well. The one downside to this venue is that it is a barn that doesn't have any heating. It was May and it was 50F inside the barn. You can never really predict the weather. It also had very few couches or chairs so be prepared to bring your own. Unfortunately it was raining the day of so we brought everything from the bridal suite to the handicapped bathroom so the bride and the party could get ready. We had to move it all again into the groomsmen suite because we couldn't occupy the handicapped restroom. The sink in the handicapped restroom was leaking. They tried to tinker with it but it was not fixed. There was also not enough garbage bags and the garbage cans were way too small. So also make sure to bring your own garbage bags. Also the bathrooms have a composting toilets and so it naturally smelled. The running water is full of sulfur and so it naturally smelled like eggs. The two bathrooms were the only areas that were heated. It was a working barn before so there are some areas of the first floor that smelled like horses still. The valet parking provided by the venue are just attendants that point and direct the guests to were they should park. Also keep in mind that the roads will get insanely muddy when it does rain. All in all, the venue does provide amazing pictures and photo ops. I'm sure it would be a lot warmer in the summer. And it does provide a venue that allows customization of all aspects of the wedding. If you are someone that wants to have complete customization of your wedding then definitely check this place out.

As beautiful as the barn and views are of The Hill, is how fantastic the staff who runs the property is. Lisa is helpful, kind and super flexible. They allowed us the freedom to hand pick all our vendors, visit almost anytime we liked, answered all our questions promptly and decorate how ever we wanted. Our friends and family are still talking about how unique and fun our wedding was because of the location! We felt extremely comfortable planning our wedding at The Hill, there was no restriction on time we could come the day of or what we could do with the space. We could not have asked for a better venue for the kind of personalized wedding we wanted! The views are gorgeous, the barn is amazing, the staff are stupendous! I wish we could do it all over again!

The cabin was very clean with two ponchos that you can wear when you go to the steam room sauna or heated outdoor pool. All very clean. We ordered our breakfast basket to be delivered in the morning.

Our coffee was piping hot, just the way I like it with oat milk. I would definitely recommend going for an awesome mountain getaway.

After the umptieth turn on a small, dark country road in the mountains - a vision of a magically…read moreilluminated little snowy village on a hill appeared. There were four of us in the car coming for dinner, and I believe we exclaimed collectively: wow. First impression did not disappoint. It was a freezing evening and we hurried inside. Another 'wow'. The check in area for the hotel is like an office space in any Mid-Century Modern fanatic's home - or, they wish it was. Just terrific. We were seated by the large windows overlooking the grounds. I could not get enough of the clean, purposely unfinished blonde wood, big windows, yet the amazing cozy feeling you got inside from the couches and other decor. Not only can you come for a dinner but plant your butt for the day with a book or computer and just start with a tea, work your way to coffee, and at noon just go for the cocktails. Nothing wrong with that. Like I said, there were four of us and it seemed we ordered one of each items on the menu - a total of 9 dishes. Everything came superbly finished and seasoned - no objections or comments from anyone other than praise. We split 2 desserts, and we had 6 drinks to the table. The maple squash was particularly finger-licking-delicious, as was the beet salad. At the end of our meal we had the pleasure to meet one of the co-owners of the establishment, Bjorn. Super nice guy who told us the story of the beginnings and how the place came about. We left full, happy, and couldn't stop talking about the resort all the way home. The bill, with tip, came out to be $400. I will definitely come back and I can't wait what else will be added to the Dandelion menu.

Bridge Creek Catering came highly, highly recommended from our venue, Senate Garage, where they…read morewere once the exclusive caterer. And now we know why! Bridge Creek handles so much, including the menu, the rentals, and the room layout, as well as playing a huge part in figuring out the day-of schedule. We felt so comfortable with Jessica and Bridge Creek because they know the space like the back of their hands. Jessica worked with us throughout the entire process to make sure we were happy and comfortable with the decisions being made. Our family had numerous small things they wanted to make sure were done--like specific seating arrangements--and Jessica was quick and efficient with getting them done. We spoke on a regular basis in the months leading up to the wedding, and then on an almost daily basis in the weeks before it--helping us with table swaps and coordinating schedules with our venue and day-of coordinator. She is attentive and extremely detail oriented, we couldn't have asked anything more of her and the Bridge Creek staff. We had been having a wonderful planning process with them but we were absolutely blown away by our tasting (which they planned on very short notice after a mistake on our end). Everything we tried was absolutely incredible, and the attention to detail-for both the food and decor-during a tasting helped us feel so at ease with our choice. The two things that people talk about the most from our wedding were the food and the flowers! Our wedding menu included: A Hudson Valley Grazing Table during cocktail hour that included cheeses, breads, crackers, pita, vegetables, and spreads. Passed hors d'oeuvres (the Argentinian beef skewers and fig, goat cheese and prosciutto tarts were a big hit), with a plated dinner of either New York Strip Loin or Butter and Herb Roasted Chicken. They also paid close attention to allergies and created a silent vegetarian option that we heard from guests was delicious. We did mason jar desserts that were phenomenal, as well as a ceremonial cutting cake that the bride, groom, and their families devoured the next day! Jessica even helped us plan and procure for a last minute addition to the bar: Espresso martinis! And they were a huge hit! Bridge Creek was an absolute dream to work with before and during our wedding, and we absolutely cannot imagine what our day would have looked like without it. Not only was the food absolutely incredible, but the set up/breakdown was flawless and the catering staff was so kind, attentive, and professional. We cannot recommend them more highly!
