Stopped here on a Friday afternoon for a wine tasting. We were the only ones in there when we…read morearrived. We were able to try 4 for $12. They had a variety of white, red and rosé. I chose all the sweeter wines and they were really good. The wine server was fantastic and was really engaging with our group. They have a bar inside where we can sit or a patio that overlooks the water. Will definitely come back!

Sarah was absolutely the best . We had dinner reservations next door and decided to stop here for…read morebefore dinner drinks. We had the tasting room to ourselves and Sarah was very knowledgeable and engaging with all of us. She had several recommendations and wanted to know our likes and dislikes. We never felt rushed or like we were a bother to her. The tasting room was rustic and felt like you were at a friend's house. The view of the lake was amazing and Sarah took a group photo of us before we left. Highly recommend, don't overlook this gem

Came here for a vacation with my wife's family. While I very much enjoy her side I wasn't sure how…read morehaving about 40 people in the same house would fair for my sanity but luckily the house is massive and almost every family got their own room/space. Since we were the last ones there we were stuck on the pull out couch in the basement. I honestly can't complain though! It was very comfortable and I slept great! There are a ton of amenities on premise. Tons of fridge space (I think there were at least 3 refrigerators), a full kitchen with a double convection oven, a huge "mess hall" for feeding your crew, a hot tub for relaxing...the list goes on! There is also a boating dock area for access and swimming in the lake. You can also use the kayaks and canoes as you wish too. One thing I will say though. The owner of the property lives directly next to you. I'm talking same house just separated into two. Think like a massive duplex. We did see the owner and they never really got in our way but it did feel as though they were sort of watching us during the week we stayed. There is no cell service at all but there is WiFi (thank you AT&T WiFi calling!) so be prepared for that. Definitely would recommend if you have a huge event that would require housing a lot of people.

We made all of our decisions through long distance correspondence and Lauren was always quick to respond. Upon arriving to the site we had originally planned to marry at one location on her land but when we saw the creek side venue we changed our minds and she made our wishes happen on short notice. The site was absolutely perfect for our entire family, met everyone's accommodations we could ask for, and Lauren went out of her way to support our family and our dream wedding. 10000% recommend this venue for your wedding!!

We received many compliments that night and I think they may score some referrals for upcoming events!! We met with Judy and Mary each month planning, answering questions and reassuring worries.

I truly don't know how to thank Judy, Mary and the Village staff for their professionalism and expertise. If you want the best, at a reasonable price, The Village will not disappoint.

From our first meeting through the several that followed Jamie was there to give advice, recommendations, and support. She recommended and even reached and coordinated some of our vendors for us when things fell through. The property is stunning and provided everything we needed for our day in one place. It's close to accommodations for guests while still being secluded for the actual ceremony and reception. I really cannot recommend Jamie and her team any more & I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else!
