Reviews

• Accommodating for all ages

  5/5

  Firstly- This property has so much to offer for a big group of people of all various ages! There are so many different activities and games that are provided. The gym was amazing, my kids brought bikes and had a great time. We brought sleds and it snowed enough for the us to sled down the hill in front. We had the best time and we are planning on making this an annual tradition!

  I love cooking and the kitchen was a dream to have large meals cooked in!

  Secondly- the hostess, was absolutely the best by far. She answered random texts SO FAST and if we needed anything she was sure to deliver. I 100x over recommend staying at 'The Haven' for anyone that is looking for a big group gathering for a long weekend!

  It was a joy to host your group. We appreciate you taking great care of the property and thank you for the fantastic review. We are delighted to hear your family enjoyed many of the activities at The Haven and took advantage of the kitchen space. As always, we are happy to answer any questions before or during your stay. Our hope is that guests will have a fun and relaxing time while on vacation without worrying about "the small stuff". Looking forward to your return.

  The Haven is a hidden gem and a must book!We searched for three years to find a venue for our Women’s Empowerment retreats. In the past, venues often didn’t live up to their promises, and that made us hesitant to book again. This was not the case with The Haven. I personally feel it was even better than advertised.We used every space available for our retreat, and the different conference rooms allowed us to separate our activities. The workout room and gymnasium enabled us to deliver the holistic wellness experience our guests expect. A kitchen with ample space and two refrigerators more than met our needs. It was smart to have two long tables in the open-concept area: one for dining and the other for our vision boards, which helped prevent any mess on the carpet.Alexa, the owner, was extremely helpful in guiding us to what we could find in the area. Having everything on one level, with almost everyone having a private bathroom, is a game changer. Having bathrooms that are handicapped accessible meant our ladies with Myasthenia Gravis could shower with confidence knowing there are benches if they felt weak. After our activities, the ladies enjoyed time in the theater room. The energy of this place is calm and peaceful. Because of all of these factors, we will definitely book again next year!

We appreciate that you found each handicap accessible space valuable for your group activities- from dining together, meeting spaces, exercising in the weight room and gym, to relaxing in the theater. We look forward to hosting your next MG retreat.

• Great Property and Owners

  5/5

  We had a reunion of 6 families, which includes 12 adults and 18 children; the space was perfect for what we were looking for, the kids enjoyed the library and the board games. There were more than enough bathrooms and bedrooms for everyone (which is usually the limiting factor for our searches) and the rooms were simple but comfortable.

  The gym was an excellent place for our group to play basketball and volleyball, and Alexa was extremely responsive and gracious. We would definitely consider staying again.

  Alexa had informed us that the property is on a septic tank at the beginning of our stay, so we were a bit apprehensive in the beginning and watched our water usage, but the tank is quite generous and Alexa kept us updated on how much we had been using, and we were well well within our capacity.

  The site used to be an old seminary, so the property is simple yet comfortable. It was exactly what we were looking for, as we wanted to spend all our time with each other and unplugging from TV/Media, which we did!

  Thank you for the kind review. It was a joy to meet you all and wonderful to hear that your group was able to unplug and enjoy time together with board games, the gym and the yard. We appreciate your efforts to limit excessive water usage due to temporary capacity limits for large groups. We hope that you think of our property when planning your next friends/family reunion.
