They were very polite, helpful and super responsive for all my needs before and during my event. The house is beautiful in pictures but it’s breathtaking in person, just as advertised. I hosted my sister’s bridal shower. The space, view and weather was very fitting for the occasion. I would highly recommend this space, not only is it breathtaking but more importantly Karen and Andrew are truly one in a million hosts.”
