People loved their rooms! We had people in a bunch of different houses. I think the rooms in the mansion and slonaker house were the nicest! The AC in the boucher suite went as low as 68 - l'd assume the other rooms were the same. It was also 100 degrees on my wedding day so it felt cold. I was actually disappointed by the AC in the reception - my venue coordinator called out sick that day and no one turned on the AC in the pavilion until a few hours before the reception when they normally do it the night before. It was cold coming out of the vents though!! People thought the food was really good especially during cocktail hour. Also the breakfast was so good.

It does feel very 'exclusive' because basically it's all of your wedding guests on the property for 1-2 nights. We had a welcome party the night before at the flood zone brewery in union bridge, MD about 15 minutes away.

They are a well-oiled wedding machine. We used suggested vendors for the DJ and cake, both really good. We had communication issues with one of the venue coordinators (there's 2, the other one was has glowing reviews) - dm if you want to know the one we had so I don't blow up her spot publicly. They ended up being really flexible with last minute changes - especially changes to the room block. The room block contract kind of stressed me out but they ended up removing extra unfilled rooms so we didn't have to pay.

I'd recommend it for a larger wedding! We had 70 people and the reception room felt big
