This was our second time staying at this property. It's become our standard location for our state-side quarterly meetings because it is a huge house where we all have our own space, as well as offering ample meeting space, great wifi and a peaceful setting for us to focus on our work.
The house was fantastic for hosting our friends. Everyone had plenty of space was very comfortable. Nothing but great things to say. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all great. The host were very responsive and the winery very enjoyable.
It's was great. We visited family in the area. And had our family Christmas together at this place. We played ping pong and pool when we where there. Great location for dogs. Plenty of space to run and play. The house was great as well. Plenty of space for everyone.
This was our third time staying at this beautiful property for our strategic planning session, and once again, it was a fantastic experience. The house is always spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home.
The host provided delicious meals throughout our stay, which added an extra level of convenience and enjoyment. Each meal was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious—perfect for keeping our team energized and focused.
The peaceful property and well-maintained outdoor spaces offered a wonderful setting for breaks and team-building. The high level of care and attention to detail make this place a standout, and we keep coming back because it's the ideal space for both productivity and relaxation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional stay!
90th Birthday Celebration made even more memorable
We stayed at Gruner Bungalow during July 4th weekend for my father's 90 birthday and family celebration. Anita was a great host - responsive, accommodating to our needs, on-site support and truly and genuinely interested in the success of our celebration. The house itself was well maintained and more than adequately accommodated our family who stayed at the bungalow as well as those who participated in our gathering during the day and evening. The rooms were perfect in size and well maintained. The pool itself was great for having fun and overall chilling. The bungalow was next to Otium cellars tasting room so we were able to enjoy the amazing wines that were available... their staff was amazing and supportive as well. The grounds were simply beautiful. As an additional benefit, we were able to watch the Franklin Park fireworks from the venue. We will definitely stay at Gruner Bungalow again (hopefully for my father’s 95th and 100th birthdays) and visit Otium cellars in the mean time as well.
Our family had the best time at this enormous house. The kids loved the pool and game room. And the second kitchen area was big enough for our large sit down dinner. The host was amazing throughout the stay. For example, we asked for wine glasses and they brought them over literally within 5 minutes.
This was a beautiful home for a 30 something Bachelorette Weekend. The proximity to the tasting room was convenient and the grounds were beautiful. Our groups had an excellent time and hope to be back!
We stayed with our family for the weekend attending a wedding at the property across the street. The home was beautiful and clean. We loved the views and closeness to the winery next door. Hosts were great and very helpful!
Great communication with property manager. Discounts at winery next door. Plenty of room for adult vacation with bathrooms and bedrooms. Kitchen well stocked and check in and out is smoothest I have had at a rental.
We stayed here for the wedding of our son at Tranquility Farms across the street. The property was clean and the staff was responsive. The house is very large and spacious. We have talked about going back for another weekend. Great place and highly recommend!
We stayed at this property during a family wedding at Tranquility Farm across the street. Such a great, convenient location to walk back and forth for wedding events. The winery was a great option for hanging out, as well. The house comfortably fit our large group and 3 cars. I think it’s worth noting for large groups that there are no sofa beds and the only room with multiple beds is the bunk room. This works, but good for planning purposes.

Disappointing service
Our group stayed here last year for the 1st time and it was a great experience. We came back this year for our strategic retreat and were really disappointed. The fridge and counters were dirty, there were no trash bags left for us, the trash was supposed to go out daily, but never got picked up which left a smell in the game room. The suggested caterer cancelled on us last minute which left us with few options for a business retreat. There was also a lovely gentleman that works on the farm, but we were unaware that he'd be coming into the yard and actually working in an office inside of the house. Definityly unexpected and off-putting. We planned on using this property for our yearly retreats for years to come, but are now looking elsewhere due to our recent experience.
The house and property totally served our needs for an executive retreat. Nice space for meetings, beautiful property and the bonus tasting room all made for a pleasant stay.
