This was the perfect venue for what I was looking for: outdoor ceremony (extra bonus is on a lake), do-it-yourself rustic theme. You rent the area from Friday to Sunday AM, and basically do all the set-up, take-down and clean up yourself. We saved a ton of money this way, and did a lot of DIY. People told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We lucked out since the weather was really nice, too! You have the option to rent cabins right on the venue, and we rented a main cabin for the parents and bridal party (sleeps 12), and we rented a barracks cabin for any guests who wanted to stay there (sleeps 20, but only 2 people used it). The barracks cabin was also great for the guys to use to get ready while I was getting ready in the main cabin. I would highly recommend this venue. My friend also was married here a few years back, which is how we discovered this venue. We are from Milwaukee, but decided it was worth it to have a "semi-destination" wedding! The main person who runs the show is really nice and informative as well, and we didn't have any problems while we were there.
