Modestly sized but well maintained facility at Lake Temescal Beach, very close to rte 24 and 13 interchange. 2 rooms, patio, bathrooms and prep area for events. Downstairs has changing rooms for the beach. Lots of foot traffic in the area from hikers, schoolchildren and nannies with infants. The view is charming and a walk around the lake is short and pleasant.

We really enjoyed this venue for our December wedding. We originally planned to have our ceremony at a different location but we had to change last minute because of the weather but ended up being able to have our ceremony outside on the patio area. The greenery surrounding the patio is nice so we were happy with that backdrop. We had the dinner inside and it was definitely intimate with 56 guests. I'm glad we ended up with that number because with any more people it probably would have felt crowded. The bridal room is very small, we did not use it to get ready, but even with storing some of our bags and other items it was cramped. You have to use an approved caterer. We used Culinary Excellence and they were great! There is not a full kitchen on-site though so they were cooking in a tent out in the parking area. This venue allows beer & wine only, no liquor. The interior and exterior are nice enough on their own so we really didn't need to decorate very much to make it look nice. It's a very nice property considering the low cost to rent.
