On the property I believe there was five houses (I could be wrong) but there was quite a few. There was a huge pond outside the main house that we kayaked in, and other ponds throughout the property that you could go fishing on. The landscape is beautiful very well maintained. There was a service provided with a golf cart helping transport the bridal party to the reception and it was greatly appreciated. It was very surprisingly how small the main house was when it came to the bedroom sizes, but overall, the venue is incredible!

They don't have an EV charging station on site but there's one on the next exit up at the Walmart. This was a great place for my pet and I to rest our head. I like the fact that they gave me a room with carpet even though I had a pet. Other hotels generally stick all the pets on one floor and there's no carpet, just tile. Outside. They also have a station with dog bags and a place for you to discard of dog poop. That was very convenient. I didn't stay here long. It was just an overnight but I also appreciate the free breakfast in the morning to get me on my way. They had sausage eggs. Of course. Plenty of juices and coffee, fruits and vegetables and muffins. The band was very comfortable, and the shower was nice and hot. I also appreciate the fact that I was able to change the nozzle on the shower head to different patterns and strengths. And I also appreciate the lighting on the bathroom mirror. It was a good stay!

One area is for the groom and his groomsmen and the other is for the bride and bridesmaids. The staff were very friendly, polite and professional. The banquet hall for the reception also looked amazing and was a good size. They have a wedding chapel onsite for indoor wedding and a pergola for outside weddings. The landscape with the ponds, open fields and the tree line all come together perfectly for amazing photo opportunities. The only real downside was that there was no wifi for people who stayed overnight which would be helpful because the cell phone signal is very limited. I highly recommend that you check this venue out for a wedding.

Once within you see it's not just local vendors but a healing space featuring wellness studios, esthetician services, and meeting places where folks gather for events from yoga to presentations. There's a water refill station inside and a great restroom with sinks available indoor and out of the actual restroom. I noticed some meeting places as well with transparent walls good for community gatherings. Some notable places I've seen are The Sanctuary, DandiLion wax studio, and the Charleston Wellness Studio. Upon reading another Yelp review I loved they offer a venue space as well which would be great for showers or weddings perhaps! Something to look into. Another wonderful addition to the Schoolhouse is the picturesque garden next door. Enjoyed the flowers and greenery before embarking on my next task. Very peaceful space.

The Schoolhouse is a fairly new event center, I believe it has been about a year? More or less,…read morecould be wrong. At any rate, we were looking for a spot to hold our mom's 70th birthday surprise party. We were struggling with finding availability on a Saturday afternoon - church reception halls were booked, other venues were booked, and then other venues just wanted to charge too much for a birthday party (charging us Charleston wedding prices!!). The Schoolhouse actually did not come up in our search, but was recommended to my sister. My sister immediately contacted the Schoolhouse to check availability. They have a couple different rooms that are rentable, depending on size. We didn't need anything too big, so we were able to rent out the Music Room. Small room good for 30-40 people. They supply the chairs/tables with the rental. On the day of, Heather was there to meet us, and gave me her number in case we had any questions. I will say, the only issue was that there was another group that had a function going on in the next room and they had come in and taken one of our tables. So we had to take it back! Not a big issue, since Heather took charge, but it just seems like people don't understand that multiple events can go on. That is the biggest issue that I see with this space, is that people don't understand that multiple events can go on. Obviously, if you are the one renting it, then you know it, but your guests do not. So as we were setting up, we had the doors open so that we could bring stuff in from the cars. Well there were some random people that just walked into and through our room. Do you not see us setting up? Then eventually two people came in and were on the floor giving massages (what in the world??) - not sure if they were tenants or from the other party. Again, do you not see us setting up? We told them we had this space reserved, and they were willing to leave. Then I guess the party next door did not bring enough supplies, coming in and asking us for cups. No, we bought these for our party. I wouldn't say this is a fault to the event center, but a fault to guests/other people renting, to give other people common courtesy. We did end up closing all doors once we got everything inside from all of the cars, and had no other issues. My only suggestion would be to maybe have signs in place by the rental facility showing that "this room is privately reserved today, please do not enter". During the actual party with the room filled, it did get very warm. It was at least a cool night so that we opened the door to the outside to let cool air in. I'm not sure if we knew how to adjust the temperature or if we could adjust it, but that was our means of just letting the building be and letting cool air in. Also, there is ample parking in front and in back of the building. So your guests do not have to worry about having to park and walk or to pay for parking. Overall, I would definitely recommend this space for a party - reasonably priced, with a great setup on how much space you actually need.

Overall, just stunning and an experience of a lifetime. Also, in the afternoon we strolled the grounds and they brought out bikes for us to explore the neighborhood. So relaxing! The hightea and breakfast were outstanding. They think of the little things in how they present the food, which adds so much value. We had pancakes at breakfast with pecans and I can truly say that I have never had such amazing pancakes in my life. I love breakfast food and seek it out, but to this day I have not found a comparison to the pancakes at woodlands. I may go again just for the pancakes! The restaurant - it is a five star establishment and I would give it all five stars. The food is presented beautifully, tastes divine and the portion size is perfect. My husband likes various versions of mushrooms and told the chef that. He ended up getting a dish with all the different varieties. Talk about service! I loved my deconstructed ceasar salad and halibut. The dessert was so refreshing as it was a creme brullee with passion fruit. Overall, try a package if you must or just get a night to stay.

We were excited:an old mansion from the 1800's, converted to a luxury resort. Bed was disappointing, but the worst was the food! Read on: They let us order room servicez since we arrived late, but that was a JOKE!....We love our fancy dinners-but this was one of those places where the salad was 3 individual inch sized pieces of Iceberg lettuce (1"x1"), with a 'buttermilk foam' and various toppings like fricken pistachios (eww) Oh, 1 of the lil' towers fell over when the waiter wheeled the table into our room, He got all distressed and wanted to take the salad back to the kitchen to have them make another! We were like "Oh, it's OK! OMGoodness, it was crazy to think some people might get upset about that!!" We could only laugh (his Caesar salad was a handful of romaine, that was SHOVED into 2 square 'crackers' that had an open circle in them, the 2 cracker squares were about 2 inches apart....THAT was the 'Caesar salad, and it had a DROP of dressing squeezed onto the plate! Hubby was like "WTF is THIS?" and i said, "Um, thats your Caesar, hun!" Oh yeah, and it had a lil' quail egg on top too.....(barely cooked) too Fricken weird. We are not unsophisticated people, we have eaten at 4 and 5 star places many a time (and love them), but this was preposterous! Hubby had Scallops that were fishy and weirdly prepared and I tried the Duck, (I LOVE duck, but this had a gawd-awful flavor, i can't even describe it... but it was HIDEOUS. He did eat a bit of his, begrudgingly!z Oh, I haven't told you, I got SICK to my tummy! LITERALLY (like I couldn't eat anything else, even when i was starving and got them to make me a burger, by the time i got it i was so nauseous, i couldn't touch it, and I suffered all night..... What made me SICK was the dessert. I made the mistake of taking a bite out of this thing, that was supposed to have Chocolate mousse in it (my fave and the only fancy dessert i truly enjoy).....get this: THE CHOC. mousse had HUGE Salt CHUNKS in it! BIG-ASS granules. No, bigger than a granule! This was like margarita- chunky salt. IN THE MOUSSE! Blecch! and it was intentional!!! I said to the waiter, that "I realize that salt is needed in Baking, like cookies etc, it brings out the flavor, BUT I've never in my LIFE seen salt IN a CHOCOLATE delicacy! He said, "Well, sayou should know how much brighter it makes it taste! I was like "ARE YOU FOR REAL? I'm wanting to vomit from it!

Crack is whack. YUCK! Please Keep in mind, we like fancy, nouvelle cuisine once in a while.....like a good Pheasant Sausage with a confit this, and a foam that.....BUT this food was awful! Oh, and breffie the next morning? LAUGHABLE.....More tiny food (except thankfully I had eggs Benedict, and its impossible to make the eggs smaller when they are poached. Hubby had a ''3 egg' omelette that was definitely no more than one, maybe one and a half eggs tops. AND, the ''breakfast potatoes'' that came with breakfast, were chopped so microscopically, that u could not spear them with a fork, you could not even scoop them ONTO your fork! There were a few brightly colored onions/peppers in them, BUT they were not bigger than a grain of sand. I could just picture the poor chef standing over his knives, wasting his time chopping micro goods! LOL...i mean items. I don't want to call them 'goods', lest ye think they actually were just that......'good'. btw, the saving grace for you if u end up staying here (and please let me say, with the exception of the hoity-toity waiter, the staff was very friendly and VERY customer service oriented.....I will say that, we had no complaints there!)..... but your saving grace? That they change the menu daily!!! I wish like hell I had tried something off their normal room service menu, of a fish and chips meal, which was made with COD (good God, a 5 star place can't even serve top notch HADDOCK?) Cod is a lower-echelon fish! But in retrospect, I WISH i had tried it, it might have been good. BUT can u understand my reluctance to order something as plain as fish and chips at a 5star place? We were prepared to be wowed, and we were so disappointed! Better luck to you if u dare! :) I would go for brunch if u ever have an opportunity. They can't kill brunch too much, other than the TEASPOON of micro chopped potatoes they throw on your plate! (maybe ask for extra?) The Hollandaise was spectacular though, although i had to request extra! There was only a HINT of it on my Benedict! :o(
