We are a nature based venue and therefore we have plenty of uneven ground. The walking pathways are all covered in crushed granite that is not suitable for stilettos as the pointy heels may sink into the ground if we’ve had recent rains. The larger parking lot is just mulched ground. We do have a driving loop where guests can be dropped off if they aren’t able to walk far. You’ll need to schedule a tour to truly understand the nature here. It’s what makes our venue so special!
