We had a celebration of life here for a close family member, and not only was the venue beautiful with wonderful peaceful views. The staff and owner were amazing and allowing us permission for special requests and working with us to coordinate a food truck, as well as catering and beverages we brought in. If you are hosting any kind of special event (wedding, special occasion party, etc) I highly suggest this venue. Do not let the location deter you, it is very easy to access from highway 18 and was no more than 30 minutes away from where we live in NE Tacoma, and others who traveled from Bonney Lake, Auburn, and even Kirkland commented the same.
