While it took a bit to get there (lots of turns and country roads) I was very impressed by the setting. From the location where Joe and Jen were married to the barn where we drank, ate, and danced. The decor was beautiful. I loved the way they set everything up. There were approximately 100 people in attendance. There was plenty of room. This venue met the personality of the bride and groom. The entire evening was organized yet laid back. The owner was there to assist with any needs. I didn't realize he was the owner as he appeared to be one of the guests! I recommend this venue if your want to be married at a beautiful location in the country. They appear to be busy so visit and schedule ahead of time. There are lots of additional information on their website!

Charlotte Dog Club gave us all the tools we needed to get off the ground running. They called a couple of times to check in, as well as emailing. When we had questions, their help line responded promptly. It was incredibly clear that the staff here truly cares. If my husband and I ever decide to give our sweet girl a sibling, we'll be returning here. Very impressed!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD RIDE HERE…read more I've been a member of four different barns and Lake Pointe was by far the worst experience I've had. I took lessons there for about a year and a half, and the only good staff member was an outside hire. Here are my warnings: 1. The staff is incredibly rude, with the exception of the owner, Kari, who is incredibly polite and friendly. However, the two daughters, Sydney and Savannah, seem to run the barn and are completely out of control. They will scream at each other, having full-blown fights in front of customers, and play obvious favorites with the riding students. Both girls frequently have dramatic breakdowns... I could barely go a week without seeing one of them cry. The "trainer" is a 17-year-old with minimal show experience who doesn't take criticism or correction of any sort and only lets her favorite students jump or advance. 2. They have no respect for boarders' horses. I boarded my horse there for almost a year, and within that time period all of my tack was used on various horses without my permission. I would walk out to the pasture and find the gate had been left open on several occasions. Also, I purchased a medication for my horse's hoof condition that was then used on a number of different horses in the barn, again without my permission. 3. They do not take care of their facility or horses properly. The pastures have way too many horses in them, so grass does not grow and the pastures turn to mud. My horse developed a hoof condition because she was standing in 10-inch deep mud all day. The horses are maintained well enough, but if anything goes wrong in a lesson, the horse is blamed rather than the rider. The horse's physical comfort is rarely taken into consideration. The prices at this barn are tempting, but they are low for a reason. You and/or your child or horse will not learn anything here, much less be treated with respect. I'm begging you, DO NOT GO TO THIS BARN. In the year and a half I was there, over 20 students left because of their being mistreated. It is not worth it. My status as a client at your facility for a year and a half only supports the validity of my statements. I did not follow to your current location, but the number of students that have left the barn after going to your new location have attested exactly against the maintenance of your new facilities. I have heard nothing except how you overcrowd your pastures and continue to purchase more and more horses without selling any. I'm sure the horses you have enjoyed the new space for the short while they had before it was overstocked​ again. The simple fact that most of your lesson students and boarders leave after a short period of time is really the only testimony we need to speak to your barn's credibility. Only the few students deemed as favorites by the underage trainers are the ones who stick around; all others leave unhappy. I never made any good friends at the barn because no one stayed for very long, including myself. Even the boarders follow this pattern - the only boarder who stayed for more than a year was Nancy, and that is only because she personally oversees all of her horse, Astrix's, care to make sure it will be done properly. I chose to keep my identity anonymous since the barn is known for trash talking and destroying reputations of riders and trainers alike, so I didn't want invalid opinions of me nor my trainer going around.
