The green trees surrounding the space provide a perfect frame for your ceremony. We hosted a 50th wedding anniversary here. I couldn't think of a location more fitting for this celebration. Jill who owns + runs the space is simply fantastic. She just gets it and goes above and beyond to make your event special. It was no joke the hottest day of the year for our event ... Jill offered up cold compresses to guests as well as offered them shuttles on the golf cart to the bathrooms which were a tiny walk down a hill to. Recycling and composting were very important to the guests of honor ... Jill made sure that it all was taken care of ... I mean the woman was even sorting recycling out of the trash to make sure that everything was in it's proper place. I can't begin to tell you how refreshing and WONDERFUL it is to host an event at a space where they care as much as you do about the party. We are trying to figure out the next great party we can host at Sweet Water Springs Farm. Thank you! Thank you for all that you did to make our event so memorable.

Attended an event for our end of the year party here for work. A beautiful venue, we had a great…read moretime seeing fellow co workers in person and listening to a great DJ. The venue was beautifully decorated for the holiday season and had a tasty cocktail/happy hour with a fantastic bartender and appetizers. We had a sit down meal that consisted of salad, your choice of entree (steak, haddock or tortellini) and a dessert bar with coffee that satisfied every taste. Staff were very friendly and helpful but with such a large event they seemed a little overwhelmed or could've used another person or two. We had to flag them down for water refills and eventually just went to the bartender for refills. Parking was a bit strange as you had to park on the side of the road or in a small lot that wasn't very well lit. This was around 6pm when its pretty dark and back a windy country road. Once that parking lot filled up there was a larger lot a bit back but again it was so dark and not well let we weren't sure if if was the right one or not.

The answer is quite simple. Take them to the Mother's Day Brunch at The Lodge at Liberty Forge. Behold the splendor which awaits you: *Tepid water as your free beverage. In fairness, coffee was available. *As an upcharge I ordered 3 raspberry iced teas. It was unsweetened, lacking raspberry flavoring with a strong chemical taste. Not drinkable. * I would have had Manhattan clam chowder. The container was so low the soup could not be cradled. * Chafing dishes which were all open resulting in the food not being warm. Case in point-- French toast with an unmelted pat of butter on each piece. Where is the maple syrup? You'll find it at the carving station which makes no sense. *Carving station--occasionally staffed. Otherwise, you were treated to irregular cut slices which again were cold from not being under a heat source. Au jus, as with everything else, was not hot and flavorless. *Carolina Fritta--I like my eggs, potatoes, and Smoked Cheddar Cheese not to be room temperature. The Mother's Day Buffet is egregious. Save your money unless your goal is punishment. After leaving this wonderful buffet I fulfilled my hunger at Burger King-- 2 Whopper Jr's for $5.00. Now that's pleasurable! Jack B.

This was the worst B&B I have ever experienced. We booked a…read morefive day stay for three couples a year in advance. When we arrived, we couldn't get in the building or our room. We had to make several phone calls to get the codes to access the building and room. This was just the first of many problems we encountered. The rooms were nice, but the service was terrible. We paid for a hot breakfast every morning, which was advertised when we booked. This was not the case when we arrived. No hot breakfast at all. Just cold lunch meat,hard boiled eggs, toast if you wanted to fix it yourself, instant oatmeal in a packet, over ripped bananas, and strawberries. This is not the hot breakfast that we paid for. I contacted the management company that operates the B&B and was told they stopped the hot breakfast two weeks before we arrived. I ask why we weren't informed about this. I was told they couldn't notified everyone that had reservations, over four hundred. I told them we would like to have a partial refund because they didn't give us what was advertised, and we paid for. As of today, they still list a hot breakfast on most of the travel websites. They didn't offer any refund. They said to review the cancellation policy. I then said we would have cancelled our entire stay if we had known this before we left home. Still no offer to at least a partial refund. We had to go to a restaurant and get our breakfast every day, and that was an extra expense. As of today, after several back and forth emails, still no offer of any kind of refund. As far as the service part of our stay. We had to ask every day for clean towels, wouldn't take the dirty ones, or empty the trash during our entire stay. I told the management company this is not a good way to run a business. I don't think they care at all about how they treat the people that rent at this B&B. I would never book this place again. I hope people read this review and avoid this property.

When no one in the family felt like cooking for Easter this year, the LeTort View Community…read moreCenter's public Easter Brunch felt like the perfect solution -- festive, easy, and a chance to try something new. Bonus: an appearance from the Easter Bunny? Say less. We were in! Booking tickets online was super simple, and we selected the 12pm seating. Ahead of the event, we received instructions via email directing us to obtain a Visitor's Pass to access the Carlisle Barracks, which I appreciated -- anything to streamline the day-of process. Unfortunately, their automated pass system was down, and despite multiple attempts to resolve it ahead of time, we were told to just arrive 30 minutes early with IDs and handle it on-site. That's where the adventure began. On Easter morning, we plugged the provided address into GPS and confidently set off... only to be led to a closed gate with a sign that simply read: "GATE CLOSED. USE OTHER GATE." Cool, cool, cool. Which gate? Where? I don't live or work here. No idea. Calls to the contact number went unanswered (understandable given the holiday, but still not ideal), and we found ourselves driving around Carlisle trying to solve what felt like an Easter scavenger hunt we did not sign up for. We eventually made an executive decision to head to the Visitor Center, which -- surprise! -- is exactly where we should have gone in the first place. Once there, we got through security fairly easily, but were given only verbal directions to the venue. We were told there would be "good signage." Spoiler alert: there was not. We had to stop twice to ask for directions before finally finding the building. By the time we parked, I was equal parts relieved and hangry. We arrived about 30 minutes early as instructed and checked in, only to be told to wait in the bar area because the kitchen was "catching up." Totally fair -- things happen -- but the check-in area already felt a bit chaotic. The bar experience followed suit, with some confusion around seating and tabs, but we rolled with it and grabbed drinks while we waited. As noon approached, the lobby filled quickly with guests waiting to be seated. After confirming we wouldn't lose our place in line (because we had, in fact, been waiting patiently), we were finally seated right on time. Once inside the banquet room, we quickly realized this was going to be a bit of a self-service experience beyond the buffet. We were glad we had already grabbed drinks, because our server didn't make it to our table until we were well into dessert. Around the room, other guests were also wondering about drinks, table clearing, and general service. It was clear the team was doing their best, but the coordination just wasn't quite there. Now -- let's talk about the food, because this is where things turned around. The buffet itself was really well done. A great mix of breakfast and lunch options, with everything from eggs and bacon to carved meats, mac and cheese, and roasted vegetables. There was something for everyone, and everything we tried was solid. But the absolute standout? The chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and crushed Reese's peanut butter cups. Listen...this cake was LIFE-CHANGING! Rich, decadent, perfectly peanut buttery -- I had a massive slice and absolutely could have gone back for more (and considered it). My adventure buddies were equally impressed with the candied sweet potatoes and the Italian lemon crème cake. For $35 per person, the food absolutely delivered. We made sure to grab photos with the roaming Easter Bunny before heading out, which really tied the whole experience together and gave it that festive, holiday feel we were hoping for. Overall, despite the logistical challenges getting onto the base, the lack of clear directions, and the somewhat disorganized service, we genuinely had a really nice Easter. Not having to cook, clean, or plan a full meal was a win, and the food quality made it worthwhile. Would I attend another public event here? Possibly -- especially if the price and menu felt right. Would I host an event here? I'd have some hesitation based on the coordination challenges we experienced. But as far as Easter 2026 goes...we ate well, got our bunny photos, and made it an adventure -- which, honestly, is kind of on brand.

It doesn't necessarily look like that as you drive up. The only downfall is that there is only one restroom. The pricing seemed decent.

Additionally, the crab pretzel was amazing!! The charcuterie boards looked worth it. Plenty of seating and a live band was set up around 6/630, but we left just as they were coming in. Highly recommend and would come back (even as a sober lady!).

Set on rolling Pennsylvania countryside, the views are straight out of a postcard. It's peaceful, scenic, and exactly the kind of place where time slows down (in the best way). The wine list is well thought out, approachable yet refined, with something for every palate. Nothing felt mass-produced or rushed and each pour had intention behind it. The staff deserves real credit: knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely proud of what they're pouring. They guide you without the wine snob energy, which makes the experience feel relaxed and inviting, whether you're a casual sipper or a full-on wine enthusiast. This stop elevated our Lancaster trip and added a fresh layer to a tradition we already love. Grandview Vineyard isn't just a winery, it's an experience worth building into your itinerary. We'll be back. No question. For photos, wine highlights, and more travel-food stops worth the drive, check out @travelingtastebuds_
