"Breathtaking!"
Our company had an event at your amazing venue for 100 guests that was the best night we have had in our 36 year history. The restaurant was breathtaking; when our guests got off the chairlift and saw the restaurant on stilts, perched atop a mountain, they all said: “Wow!”. The staff was warm and welcoming and the barbeque was the best any of us can remember. The bar was crowded all night and the cocktails flowed from beginning to end. We brought singers and songwriters in from Nashville to tell us their stories and sing their songs. The venue was the perfect backdrop for that. The sound was perfect in the still evening. Most of our guests climbed the tower, crossed the rope bridge and many braved the zipline. I think every person said to me: “This was amazing, I can’t wait to come back.” I would recommend this venue for a wedding or party of any kind.
