Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Simply beautiful and beautifully simple, this year-round resort specializes in intimate celebrations that put the focus where it should be: on you, your closest loved ones, and the awe-inspiring Adirondack surroundings.
- All your ceremony choices are lovely—we’re taken with the spot under the willow tree, but you might be just as drawn to the bridge spanning the stream, or the garden arbor. And for the reception, there are several inviting dining rooms, each with its own unique design.
- Spend the coziest honeymoon night ever in the Rustic Hart cabin, where you’ll find a screened-in porch, full kitchen, luxury linens and bath amenities, and your own private fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs.
