Woodruff Wedding

Such a wonderful place to stay while having a wedding at Old Bethany. The place was just right for our group and everything went smoothly for to most part. We had a little trouble getting in at first with our code, but we’re able to contact the right folks to get that fixed. I would highly recommend this place!!

Old Bethany is awesome!

We had a really wonderful time at Old Bethany. The property was clean and beautifully decorated with a modern farmhouse vibe. It was perfect for my best friend and our children. The kids especially loved the bunk beds! The beds are super comfy and have nice linens. We all slept really well here. Sunsets are amazing each evening! I highly recommend this property. Thank you!

Super peaceful stay

This house was a great find. It’s very peaceful and clean. My only complaint is that I had to reach out to get check in instructions, when I have stayed other places I have gotten check in info at least the morning of. It made me nervous that we would get there and not be able to get in. I feel like communication could be better. Also, we wish there was more patio furniture because the view is beautiful!

This is a very nice and clean little house in a very quiet area. If you're attending a wedding at Old Bethany, it couldn't be more convenient. Definitely recommend!

Lexi’s Wedding

We were in town for my nieces wedding at the venue. This location was perfect! I think this house should be included in the venue as part of a package. We use this house for out-of-town guests and the bridesmaids hair & makeup station. #5stars
