Enchanting
"This venue is truly enchanting for a wedding. From the architecture to all of the grounds, it is truly a hidden gem within the city limits of Winston-Salem. The staff is very attentive but do not hover. This property was easily walkable but also ADA compliant."

Gracious and Responsive
"Everything was provided with professionalism and grace. Thank you for a great stay. The grounds are beautiful. The service is over the top and the amenities are easily accessed and in great working order. Being able to grab a bike on impulse and ride through the property as well as neighboring Reynolda and the Wake Forest campus was a much-appreciated perk. Thank you, Graylyn."
