Beautiful venue

This venue was absolutely beautiful! It overlooks the Chestatee river in Dahlonega Ga. The deck outside was perfect for both our wedding and reception. Fortunately the weather was perfect for our day but if it hadn't been there is a spacious covered deck with an amazing view as well which was our back up plan. The owners were there to set up and assist with any concerns or questions we had. This is a family owned property which for us provided true feelings of support for our big day. I feel after dealing with them we have gained two new friends! The owner Tim was very supportive and helpful before and after our wedding. We definitely feel this was the one and only venue for us, with the inside and out surrounded by nature and peaceful atmosphere. Definitely recommend this venue and it's owner!@

Exceptional food for a very reasonable price. All of our guests raved about the food. The service was very good and the owner was there to make sure everything went smoothly. The front of the restaurant can be a little off-puttting, sort of looks like you are walking up to someone's house that has a highly decorated lawn. Once inside however, there is a southern charm that is very inviting. We sat on a covered balcony that overlooked the river that had been reserved for our party. Light music playing, nicely covered tables and beautiful paper lanterns added to the great atmosphere. TIP: the stuffed dates are AMAZING!

Firstly, the food is absolutely incredible. The location (especially outside on the deck) is *beautiful* for a rehearsal dinner. We had about 35 guests and were on a pretty tight budget. It was a little pricey but there wasn't skimping on the food. The only negative aspect we felt was the lack of willingness to work with us. When brainstorming ideas there seemed to be an issue with ideas we suggested. We considered them for catering the wedding itself but overwhelming felt like they weren't equipped/willing to work with us. The rehearsal dinner was beautiful and delicious and I definitely recommend it for that event!
