Thank you both for your awesome hospitality! The way you “take care” of us as your guests was unparallelled! You do it with love and joy. The special touches in the room to make us comfortable was a real surprise and a delight.

What a wonderful find! Very friendly hosts, Denise and Cary. Always fun to talk with to learn about the area and hear stories. The accommodations absolutely wonderful, comfortable, relaxing. The scenery astounding . . . the lake, the mountains, the gardens. So many fun activities within an easy drive . . .

Getting married at Estate on the Lake

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
