My wife and her family loved it. It was awesome! Thank you, Tate! Great location coupled with compelling history. Thanks again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this historic home! The house dates back to the 1800s and is beautifully preserved with so many original features, while still offering great, comfortable accommodations for a large group. There was plenty of room for all 21 of us, and everyone felt relaxed and well accommodated throughout our stay.Tate (our host) was truly exceptional. He took the time to give us a brief tour upon arrival and shared the fascinating history of the house from its very beginnings, which made the experience even more special. He was also incredibly helpful and available whenever we had questions or needed anything.The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. As an added bonus, the house was fully decorated for Christmas inside and out, which made it look extra beautiful and created such a warm, festive atmosphere.We couldn’t have asked for a better place or host. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a unique, historic, and memorable stay!

We renewed our marriage vows after 22 years of marriage (pandemic forced us to miss 20 years). Had family and friends attend. Renewal took place on a boat and then we all stayed at the house overnight. Absolutely beautiful home and the host is wonderful.

Wonderful, historic property! We thoroughly enjoyed being able to have the family in one house to spend time together before and after the wedding. Ravine Gardens was the wedding venue. The park is so close and beautiful.
