Where can I start , my wedding took place this past Saturday the 8th, my husband and I booked this…read morevenue a year ago , I did my research online prior to booking and read the great reviews, we visited the lake house and fell in love with it. Since the very beginning we did not get a good vibe from the housing manager Sally. Her attitude was dry, careless and arrogant. But I chose to look beside it because I really believed this venue was the perfect place to make my rustic themed visionary wedding to life. I can basically say I reached out or called sally maximum 4 times for help with questions because I did not feel comfortable approaching her with her dry attitude. All this woman talks and brags about is her husbands job as a CEO of a drug treatment program , big shit. Now lets start with my experience on my wedding week PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO BOOKING WITH SALLY, SO YOU CAN BE AWARE AND NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOU My fiance paid the venue in full three weeks before the event , Sally told us many months ago that if in the occasion that the night before our event , the venue was not booked we may go drop off our equipment and decorate the day before. Three weeks ago Sally verbally told my fiance, wedding planner, and I that we may decorate on Friday since it was not booked nor she believed it would be with such short notice. We are super excited and relieved that we were able to decorate the day before. On wednesday August 5th I called Sally for last minute questions and reconfirmed our arrival on Friday to drop off & decorate , Sally responds" Oh i am sorry an architecture business meeting/reunion will be held Friday you can no longer come to decorate" " I am sorry for last minute" .... ok so when was she planning to call me to tell me this ? Secondly, Sally continued to tell me that I can still drop off the decorations and store them in a room , on Friday August 7th between 9:00- 1:00pm Friday August 7th : My family and I load up 3 cars , and drive 1 hour and 10 minutes to arrive to the lake house and NO ONE IS HOME. I call Sally and her voicemail states she is off and away August 7th, 21st - 30th . Thank you Sally for causing me a stress overload the day before my wedding. Very irresponsible of this housing manager to do this. I could not believe my eyes, I emailed her and recieved no response to this day!!!! Luckily a woman drove in that very moment, by the name of Mary Anne, which rents office space in the second floor , she opened the door for us and allowed us to store our things in a room upstairs. Mary anne and Dan were very helpful , and provided em with the care takers phone number Mr. Haas who I contacted later that afternoon to request for premises to be cleaned prior to my event. The caretaker was very helpful the day of our event and made sure everything was found clean and left cleaned at the end of the night. The last thing a bride or couple should go through is a stressful moment due to the venue in where we have paid so much money to have our wedding take place. I believed in this lakehouse and Sally's work ethics. I never would have imagined to have such a terrible experience. In addition to this she was not present the saturday of my event either. Neither did she request a copy of our bartenders liqour licence certification after driving us nearly crazy for this months before. What kind of unorganized , careless woman do you have running your business? Please look into this matter and please reach out to me, because I know this venue is owned by the city/county and not privately owned by Sally. There has to be management over her and I very much wish to be contacted I would not take my time to express such a long detailed review if I did not feel so disgusted by my terrible experience with this manager .

My wife and I recently had our wedding here in May. Our wedding day was amazing and are happy we…read morehad it here, but getting to that point took a lot. Let's start with the positives: It's beautiful, accessible, and reasonably priced for the location. The caretaker was accommodating a sweet. The scenery and unique setup of the house lends itself well to true photographic artists. Now for the negatives: There really was only one negative aspect of our experience, and that was Sally. She was fine to start with, but two weeks before our wedding told us that we could not have our caterer use his smoker on the property due to it being a fire hazard in a nature reserve. This would have been understandable had she, and the fire marshal, not already approved the use of an open fire pit on the property. Naturally this confused us and we tried to sort out the issue with the marshal ourselves. Long story short, she was being untruthful, was not up to date on the codes, and really just didn't want to damage the grass so she passed the buck to someone else. She was also very intrusive while we were setting up, and rude to everyone until she realized we had hired event planners with us. We would recommend this establishment to everyone, everywhere, save the detail of this woman being responsible for facilitating the event. Be cautious when booking with them, and get everything in writing well in advance.

‍ What an…read moreunexpected surprise! Bravo and standing O to the team. NYC caliber - UES replants- food ruined. Hospitality A+ Atmosphere A+ YES CHEF! Nailed it! Starter: Amuse bouche - 3 exceptional treats each Petite biscuits- received 4, wanted 20 1st course- Yummiest Salad, exquisitely dressed. Tuna tartar- incl shallots and avocado and toast point in a perfect stacked combination with a light sauce accompaniment. Perfect. Subtle. 2nd course- 9 hour braised Short Rib. i'm the one that usually gets this although my husband did and I have to say it's some of the best short ribs I've ever put into my mouth. The polenta was cooked to perfection. I made a very loud yummy sound when I tasted his meal. I ordered the lamb 3 generous lollipop lamb chops and felt no shame as I gnawed at my bones. Temperature perfect, the sauce!!! and the carrots julienned with the best spice and maybe a pinch of brown sugar (tried guessing because it was so good, these were not carrots ! So much more. And a purple potato mash that was ... I mean everything was beyond our hopes. We chose the fresh fruit desert that had a very unusual combination, 2 of which I'd never had before. I'm now a convert. We were served by Tracy clearly and expert (warm but not making herself the focus) with Brady in training and already up to speed. Some things I noticed. When food came out the whole kitchen came out and served everybody at once! How refreshing to see that. All servers were attentive and paying attention to the entire room. No one felt unnoticed and forgotten. The wonderful woman behind the desk at the entryway, took us on a tour of the event space with complete joy and enthusiasm. She didn't seem put out at all in fact I wanted to just hang out with her for a while. So welcoming. The second we walked in the door everyone said hello to us as if they had known us for years! We just moved here. We had never been there in our lives. The property is perfectly maintained, makes quite a statement, and the new converted barn was my dream barn. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet all the sheep on the property. If any guests come to visit us in our new home in French Town, we're going to recommend they stay there in one of the cottages possibly or the in itself so that they can have the ultimate comfort and the elegance. They would expect in an overnight that I fear, our guest room will not lend itself to. I want to get married again so I can get married there! I want to eat there once a week! Gratitude to my niece who we asked for a recommendation of where we should eat for a nice meal to celebrate my husband, after a big achievement. She has lived here for three years and as a trained nutritionist and chef herself. She said the only place you should go is the Woolverton Inn and its New Restaurant. She will be receiving a gift! Lastly, I was so overwhelmed upon entering the restored barn that I forgot the name of the elegant man who received us with such grace. He's a gracious host and constantly circulated the room keeping an eye on the flow with light personnel suggestions ( potato soup with lobster next time! I promise) and birthday wishes for a large families grandmother. Go, enjoy, stay there, eat there, bring friends there! Bon apetite!

It's a perfect scheme of buying something that they grow or make at their farm to feed their own animals - funny but an interesting type of giving people a fun experience at their own cost, while helping the business. We might not have thoroughly enjoyed the experience as the animals were all beyond the fence and nothing as a petting experience as to what they advertise. The animals and birds mostly looked well fed and the facility looks well maintained. The parking space is ample.

I Was there in August with 90+ degrees outside and no AC in the event space. The only space with AC was the porto-john trailor off the side porch. Yes, an event space with no attached bathrooms. Décor - shabby chic - with the emphasis on shabby. All little paint goes a long way. I looked at the photos online, and they space I was in looked nothing like them. Online this looked liked an elegant wedding venue. Maybe the bride opted for the bare bones decor package ?? But food wise, the buffet served the smallest portions I have ever seen. There was chicken, beef and salmon, and the pieces were, maybe 2oz. each - maybe 2 bites. The woman in line in front of me asked for just salmon as she did not eat meat. She was told no - she had to wait until every one was served and she could get more if there was any left. (I didn't think quick enough to offer her mine.) They told me the same thing for the steamed veggies. Unlimited salad, rolls and mashed potatoes, though. The cocktail hour had wonderful butlered options. But the crudités were sitting out on tables, in 90+ degree heat, with no ice or chilling. (The cheese pieces were slimy) I really wanted to like this place, but I would hesitate to return, especially in the summer. Maybe the bulk of the issues were the results the wedding party's requests?

The market provides shoppers with the opportunity to browse locally grown produce, plants, honey, breads, soap, cheese, baked goods, and crafts (hand-knitted items from alpaca wool and beautifully hand made wood desks, bird houses, etc.) They feature live music and a variety of seminars each week, so check the rotating schedule on the market's website: http://hunterdonlandtrust.org/farmers-market/ I visited this farmer's market primarily to buy plants from the Toadshade Farm kiosk, which did not disappoint. There is an emphasis on locally grown plants and the man who sold them to me took time and care to explain each plant to me - where it should go in the garden, the care required, how it was cultivated, etc. Many of the food vendors also had samples to try. The cheese vendors were wonderful. The breads were also VERY creative (duck fat focaccia... sign me up!) Although some vendors took credit cards, others were cash/check only so I would recommend that you bring some cash with you and smaller bills. For those of us who are in northern NJ, it is an easier ride now that the summer is over. It is also a pretty ride and worth supporting our local growers.
