PICNICS & PARTIES

Big parties need a big backyard!

Our 190 acres include an island, amphitheater and lakeside gazebo—picturesque
settings to match the imaginations of brides-to-be, corporate party planners and birthday
boys and girls of any age. Most of all, our friendly staff is here, there and everywhere
to make sure your event goes off just right.
