Where Rustic Meets Elegance
Our historic barn and farmhouse, were built in 1850 for the developer of Allegan. In 1925, the farm turned into a golf course/restaurant until 2009. We purchased the property after it sat empty for five years. The farmhouse and barn were in such disrepair. Over the next year and a half, my husband, son and nephew restored the house and barn. They constructed the addition to the barn, chapel and porch. They used reclaimed wood from opening up the 2nd floor of the barn, to display the beautifully two story hand pegged construction, with hand hewn beams throughout.
There are four manicured acres to enjoy with beautiful trees and picturesque views, overlooking rolling hills of farmland. The pond and fountain are warmly lit, along with a gas fireplace on the covered porch. They offer a charming intimate setting for you to enjoy, while celebrating with friends & family.
We are so thankful to have met some wonderfully sweet friends that joined us about a year after we opened in 2016. We are all like family. We share the same love for our venue. We all truly care for our couples and we strive to make your special day, unforgettable.
