Wedding weekend stay
We stayed here for our wedding weekend with some friends and it was amazing! The owners of the house were incredible with communication and the property manager was quick to come by with the 1-2 things we needed help with during our stay. The grounds were gorgeous, and the house was massive. Easily held all of our friends during our stay. Would recommend to anyone looking to have an intimate wedding in a gorgeous venue.

Wedding Paradise
We recently stay at the property for our wedding, and everything was exceptionally good. From the moment we arrived, the property manager, Glen was welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail was perfect for our special day. The property itself was stunning, with beautifully manicured gardens and elegantly decorated spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The accommodations were comfortable and luxurious, offering our guests a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a picturesque and well-managed venue for their special occasion.

Our graduation weekend
My family and I stayed at this lovely estate for our sons college graduation weekend. It was so nice to have our family along with our parents and graduate stay together.. The house is plenty big and we much enjoyed the outdoor sitting area as well as the beautiful grounds. So many lovely places to take pictures and hang outside with drinks prior to dinner. The groundskeeper was very nice and not intrusive at all. He and his wife live in the guest house, but he never once bothered us. He gave us his cell and was available if we needed anything. If we are ever back in this area I would definitely stay here again.

Intimate Wedding Venue
Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful! Everything was ready for us upon check in. We were able to get into the property slightly earlier than planned which was amazing. Glen, the property manager was super helpful with any issue. The grounds looked stunning and were perfect for our wedding day and overall wedding vision. I'd highly recommend renting this space for an intimate wedding. There were 20 of us total! We had our ceremony outside in the yard, then had dinner inside together from a private chef we hired. It was a perfect day. My husband and I can't stop talking about it.

I can't say enough incredible things about our stay. My husband and I hosted our September 2023 wedding at the property and the entire day people were coming up to us AMAZED by the beauty of the entire property. The way our wedding came to life here was breathtaking and Glen the property manager was so incredibly helpful with communication throughout. The house was extremely clean and we loved hanging out by the pool the days leading up to the wedding. I only hope we have an excuse to stay here again in the future!

Perfect venue for outdoor weddings!
I held my wedding here in May. There were about 50 people, all close family and friends. I booked the whole place for 3 days to have enough time to prepare before the wedding and gathering with the wedding party after. The owner James and the property manager Glen are super nice and responsive. They gave me lots of useful tips and helped me a lot with the rental drop-off and pick-up. The golf court and the lake are highlights of the whole itinerary. There is a town nearby, where you can find nice restaurants, cvs, sushi, thai food, hotels, the location is very convenience. Highly recommended!

Amazing outside, ok inside
The Glenn Manor is a wonderful space for outdoor events. The different gardens and spots provide a great array of possibilities. We had a 45 people event and it was perfect. We used the patio if the Lion’s garden as dance floor and had the food by the pool and it fitted just right. As an actual place to stay and live, it is okay. The rooms are spacious but none of the main ones actually have privacy since the walls don’t close all the way up or it communicates with another. Also the bath rooms, dryer and dishwasher are pretty old and small for such a big space. Most of the outside and inside needs Some paint or fixing. The house keeper Glen is super helpful to support and move things around. Sean, the owner, was easy to communicate with and accommodating. For a few days and events mostly outside it’s great. We had a fantastic time and it gives astonishing pictures If you plan to mostly be inside or expect a spick and span place inside and out, think where your expectations are.

Our Wonderful Weekend Wedding
We cannot say enough good about this venue. We had the most beautiful and special wedding that couldn’t be replicated. The attention to detail at this property and everything it has to offer is immaculate. The owner, Sean, met with us personally and ensured us that everything would go smoothly. He even offered us a backup plan if the weather went south. The property manager Glen was extremely friendly and helpful. He offered just the right amount of accessibility while allowing guests their space and privacy. There was so much to offer and we tried to utilize every part of this property. From tossing the bouquet off the balcony, to cocktail hour by the pool, brunch in the cafe, a ceremony in the garden, and a reception in the grass court. I can’t recommend this place enough. It provides you a beautiful venue with many places to hold the ceremony and allows you to bring your own creativity to make the wedding unique to your interests. We certainly hope to visit again some day!

Beautiful venue for daughter’s wedding weekend
If you are looking for a stunning wedding venue with a European vibe this is it. The large home had ample comfortable sleeping space for our wedding party of 13 and so many seating areas that it never felt crowded. Glen the caretaker does an excellent job maintaining gorgeous flower gardens and he kept the pool very clean. He also made check-in and check-out very easy. We rented a large tent for the catered (Juliana’s) appetizers, dinner, dessert, dancing and that area is situated in a great spot behind the pool and has artificial turf laid down which I think actually looked nice and neat. My daughter wanted a backyard party vibe and this venue was perfect because it had ample space for so many different activities: a vollyball game, giant jenga by the pool, ping pong, cornhole, s’mores by the fire pit, etc and the pool area itself is quite beautiful. Our group stayed Fri-Mon which gave us time to have a rehearsal Fri night, wedding Saturday and Sunday was a bonus relax day before packing up and leaving on Mon. We cooked all our group meals there and found everything we needed for dishes, pans, utensils etc in the kitchen and the gas grill off the kitchen was super convenient. It was a very hot and humid July weekend for us but we each retreated to an air-conditioned bedroom to cool off as needed and that worked out fine. I think this would also make an ideal setting for a family reunion or as a home base for a large family vacationing in the area.

If you’re thinking about it, book this house!
We just got home from hosting our wedding at this property, the landscape was BETTER than the pictures. The home owner was so helpful during the booking process-giving us suggestions of restaurants etc in the area & offering quick replies. Glen, the property manager was personable, and EXTREMELY helpful. We blew a fuse during wedding glam, and when we called Glen, he was there in less than 2 minutes to save the day. He was quick at replying to any texts/questions we had. He was hands on when we needed it but also allowed us the privacy needed. We requested for flowers to be watered in the morning as our ceremony was during the typical time he’d be watering them & he obliged happily without hesitation. We had an AMAZING stay, if you’re thinking about booking this location for any reason I highly recommend it. Glen Manor will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Wedding weekend bliss
We rented this amazing property for our wedding weekend. It was us, our family, and bridal party that stayed. The house and land is picture perfect, especially for wedding pictures. The owners Ann and Sean were so accommodating and kind to us when we had to reschedule due to covid. They made the process painless and we’re always so quick to answer. The grounds are something you’d see in a magazine. There is a groundskeeper that stays on the ground and answers all texts and calls immediately if you need anything. We had one lightbulb burn out and he was there within 2 min to change it. The basement area was great for us to all sit around and eat our meals. Our only downside was the lack of central AC so while we stayed in August, we were very hot, as a lot of rooms did not have air conditioners. Overall it was an amazing experience that e wouldn’t change for anything. Highly recommend.
