Cannot be more thankful to Don and the whole staff at The Whitney’s Inn. What a beautiful venue and the food - incredible!! We had such a fantastic weekend for our wedding. We chose Whitney’s on the recommendation of a friend and I was in love with its rustic charm instantly. Our ceremony was done at the fireplace across the street and it made for the most perfect pictures with the foliage. Don even had a fire going for us. The Shovel Handle Pub has hands down the best wedding food we’ve ever had - steak tips and prosciutto wrapped chicken. To die for. We can’t wait to return! Reviewed on 28-10-2023

Whitney’s inn is a must for your wedding!! I fell in love immediately when I toured it. We got married here on 10/21/23 and it was so perfect. It did end up raining, but Don, the owner, made sure that we had a beautiful indoor space that was better than I even imagined! The staff is very professional and friendly. They answered all of our questions day off and made sure the day went smoothly! Communication is amazing and trust me, once you see this venue, you’ll understand how gorgeous and unique it is. Also the food was INCREDIBLE. All my guests were absolutely amazed with the barn, the food, and just the atmosphere in general. We had a blast the entire weekend hanging out on the property! I will definitely be back to stay at the inn and visit all the amazing people we met there! If you’re looking for a super unique and beautiful spot to get married, seriously look no further!

Back in summer of 2022, we were searching for a wedding venue. Stumbling upon The Barn at Whitney's Farm, we immediately felt as though we had found the perfect venue: a rustic barn with old beams wrapped in warm white lights and a beautiful woods ceremony site, complete with tree benches and an old stone fireplace. Fast forward to now, looking back on our day, and we are so pleased with our decision. May 20, 2023 was our perfect wedding day at Whitney's. We were actually lucky enough to have an entire \"wedding weekend\" of celebration! Arriving Thursday, our final detail meetings with Don before our guests arrived for the wedding calmed our nerves and assured us that the entire weekend would go smoothly. Our day itself was perfect and despite some rain, everything went on without a hitch thanks to his attention to detail. We even managed to still get married outside in the woodland site as planned, when there was a period of drizzle and a pause from the heavy rain, thanks to Don keeping a close eye on the weather. Every other staff member that we interacted with was also incredible friendly, helpful and professional. The food was delicious; we picked the rosemary prosciutto chicken and steak tips. The kitchen was accommodating to our few vegetarian guests and food allergies/ dietary restrictions. We want to relive our beautiful, rainy, perfect wedding day all over again. Jeff and I cannot thank everyone at Whitney's enough for the most perfect wedding weekend. We genuinely would not change one thing. (Photo Credit: Carly Storro Photography) Reviewed on 23-08-2023

We couldn't have had a better experience at Whitney's Inn for our July 2023 wedding. Don and his staff were clear with communication and answering questions throughout the entire wedding planning process. Our wedding ceremony and reception took place on the property. We loved having the entire inn space to share with our guests for the entire wedding weekend as well. The food was absolutely delicious, and my husband and I loved that we did not have to find an additional caterer or bar service - everything is included at the venue! The staff were friendly, welcoming, quirky, and fun to work with throughout the entire wedding day!

We just got married July 1st, 2023. We originally met with Don last year to view the venue and loved it so much. Don welcomed us with a folder of all the information we would need and toured the venue with us. We also did a taste testing of their menu that was free for the couple. Don was also in touch either by phone or email. We worked closely with Lori his wedding coordinator who answered any questions we had leading up until the day of which was nice! The day before the wedding we met with Don who went over everything that would happen and what we would expect as well as walked us through the rehearsal. The day of the wedding, Don and his team was amazing. Don was with us through everything and made sure things started on time and people were where they needed to be. Dons wife, Maria, was also great. She redid my makeup probably 5 times before we found something I liked - she absolutely made sure I loved my hair and make up. The rest of Dons staff and bartenders were also great, very friendly and helpful! Reviewed on 04-07-2023

This past month, our big day (well, big weekend) was celebrated in Whitney’s onsite rustic barn, the Shovel Handle Pub. Our guests didn’t hold back, they loved Whitney’s!After my finance and I engaged in 2020 we embarked on what others have heralded as a stressful and arduous process; the search for a wedding venue. Our search criteria was simple; tasty food, aesthetic and comfortable venue, reasonably priced, and did we mention great food?Fortunately for us, we connected with venue owner/operator Don Bilger early in our search and he helped to make the choice easy. Whitney’s Inn at Jackson was where we wanted to enjoy the wedding rehearsal, ceremony, reception, AND farewell breakfast with 100 of our closest family and friends. During the planning process, Don and his team members Lori and Jennifer were both consultative and responded timely as we orchestrated our wedding weekend:Don helped us to block off rooms both at the venue and locally in greater Jackson NHAll of the referrals provided were excellent, from groovy DJ Michael O’Neill to delicious Elvios Pizza for the reception's late night snack salvationHe helped our friend become an ordained minister to better embrace an intimate ceremonyand much more!We live south of Boston, MA about 3 hours away and many of our guests ventured far and wide to join us. Jennifer and her team hosted a “Welcome Dinner” for 75 guests the night of the rehearsal which gave us the unique opportunity to spend more time with our guests. It was almost like we had (2) weddings in one!Bartenders both nights were friendly, quick to make a well poured cocktail, and made having an open bar fun for all. The afternoon of the wedding day ceremony, mother nature changed her mind only 5 minutes before the walk down the aisle, initially set to take place in the landscaped, wooded area. The Whitney’s Inn staff moved quickly to prepare the alternate, indoor ceremony site and in short order, the space looked beautiful, guests were seated, and we all enjoyed our intimate ceremony. Many of our guests are “foodies” and throughout the night we were told by many that the Whitney's kitchen presented the best wedding fare they have ever had! Do yourselves, and your guests the favor by passing the lamb lollipops and petite crab cakes. We are still in negotiations with Don in an effort for him to share with us the recipe for the steak tips. I expect you will find yourself in the same position! They were incredible. We could trail on about how wonderful Don and the Whitney’s Inn at Jackson team delivered but I encourage you to reach out, tour the site, and see for yourself!

Whitney's Inn far surpassed our expectations. When we visited Whitney's a year ago and met with Don, Jamie and Jeff knew this was where they wanted to get married. Don was so down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and made us feel so comfortable, a true testament of the philosophy Don and his team represent, that it was Jamie and Jeff's wedding and we will create your wedding vision to make your day special! The venue is truly magical...starting with an inn with staff that truly exemplified a warm, professional attitude especially with our constant requests, to the beautiful grounds complete with a stone fireplace and running brook to create their vision of a romantic wedding in the woods, and the reception in the Shovel Handle Pub was amazing, with superb food, great service and it complimented everything Jamie and Jeff were hoping for! Don's attention to detail is remarkable. There were so many moving parts, as well all know with weddings, and Don and his team were there every step of the way. Everyone had such a great time, and we are still receiving compliments on what a wonderful wedding this was.

Sarah Higgins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-07-2019 There isn't a single bad thing I could say about Don and his entire crew at Whitney's. We got married there on July 13 and had the entire place to ourselves and our guests the whole weekend. When we started our search we originally planned to stay close to home (we live about 40 miles north of Boston) but found that every venue we went to was lacking in something.... atmosphere... amenities... food... the price tag... we searched everywhere... and we almost put a deposit down on a place near home just to be done with the search - as it gets so exhausting. But a coworker of mine who'd gotten married at Whitney's suggested we just go up to Jackson as a last ditch look and oh boy are we glad we did. We got married in the wooded area across from the Inn. It was THE PICTURE of wooded fairyland that I had in my head the entire planning process. The staff are INCREDIBLE each and every single one of them. Don (the owner) is a wedding master mind and made us feel so comfortable and at ease through the entire process. And we spent a FRACTION of what we would have for a \"one night only\" affair back at home. If I could rate Whitney's at 10 stars I would. Leaving on Sunday after brunch I actually wept - pleading with Father Time to go back 72 hours so we could do it all again. Do yourselves a huge favor and go check them out.

Whitney's Inn and Shovel Handle Pub will forever hold a very special place in our hearts- the rustic setting, incredible food, compassionate staff really made our experience amazing! I am a very detail oriented person and I can honestly say that Don and his staff out did me. Any time I thought, oh! we need to set this up or we need to make sure this special accommodation is made for a guest- Don and his staff were already on it! They work together as a team and pay attention to the little things. The setting (inside and out) is both unique and magical. The entire staff at Whitney's Inn is nothing short of spectacular- not only are they great at what they do, but they are kind and friendly and willing to go out of their way to make it happen!

It has been 7 days since my wedding and I am still wishing I could go back to that amazingly perfect day! I can only hope that brides can experience all that I encountered here at Whitney's Inn and the Shovel Handle Pub. From the ceremony which was outside entwined with birch trees, a gently flowing brook, the birds chirping and nature at it's best, to the amazing helpful and accommodating staff from front desk to waitstaff all professional and helpful to the food... can I say OH MY GOD... the guests can not stop talking about how wonderful the food was. I kept hearing that wedding food is not always that great but this food is beyond good! I served Prime Rib and Rosemary Chicken and believe me I wish I had the recipe... amazing. After a perfect ceremony and then the perfect reception we all headed over to the fire pit for some more S'more fun! Seriously I can not put to words my satisfaction. As a bride who wished for a fairy tale wedding... the Whitney's Inn and Shovel Handle Pub gave me just that... a Fairy Tale Wedding!

Kerri Dodier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-04-2018 Choosing Whitney's Inn & the Shovel Handle Pub as the location for our wedding was the easiest decision we made. It was the only place my (now) husband and I toured! We fell in love the first time we visited- the location was perfect, the scenery beautiful, and even on that first visit the staff were so helpful and friendly! We loved the fact that everything could be done on site, and that our guests could stay right there at the Inn or sister Inn (The Inn at Jackson). Don was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, offering us tips and was flexible in making sure our day was exactly as we pictured and ran smoothly. Although he wasn't there for our actual wedding day, his staff stepped right up and did an outstanding job ensuring our day was perfect!! Because we held our wedding in April during the Inn's off-season (which saved us a decent amount of money- thanks Don for the Spring Wedding Sale!), the Inn was basically only open for our wedding and our guests, so we had complete access to the grounds and the staff were so accommodating and trusting. They even let my husband and I stay an extra night after the wedding as a mini honeymoon, which gave us some time to collect ourselves, get organized, and enjoy the Jackson area before making the trek home. Honestly, everything about this venue was amazing- the food, the location, and the staff made our big day unforgettable. We couldn't have chosen a better venue. We highly recommend Whitney's Inn!!

Sarah Hardiman Weeden(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-09-2017 My fondest wedding planning memory is how my husband's face lit up when he saw the inside of the barn at Whitney's. I knew we found a place we weren't just agreeing on, but loved! We had several tours booked with other venues, saw Whitney's, and cancelled them all. What makes this venue stand out above others is it's capacity to provide a whole wedding weekend with family and friends beyond the event itself. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception there which made things less stressful for us and easy on our guests. From being able to share breakfasts together in the morning and bonfires at night, it was great making memories and being able to have time with our guests.Additionally, Don and his staff made us feel like family and were very accommodating.

From putting out the decorations for us in the most beautiful way, to making sure we were all where we needed to be at all times.. it made for the most wonderful day! And the FOOD! Probably one of the best meals I have ever had! In the evening, one of our guests dropped a wine glass on the floor and they had it gleaned up so fast I didn't even notice it happened.

We found this venue from attending a friends wedding and we hope someday someone from our wedding gets married there too! The Whitney's Inn staff are professional, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire wedding planning process from start to finish was a breeze. Don, the owner, runs the show as your day of wedding coordinator, he was flexible and gave us the direction we needed. And boy, trying to coordinate and mobilize an entire wedding party is like trying to herd a bunch of cats, but he did it with ease and a smile on his face. I am happy to say that all the vendors they recommended were wonderful to work with as well. The wedding weekend went off with out a hitch. The grounds were beautiful and it feel like it was our home. The fire pit is a wonderful amenity. We loved having our guests stay onsite. No one would had to get behind the wheel after the festivities which was a relief and a blast. It was great for everyone wake up in the morning and congregate in the dinning room for breakfast at their leisure. We got married in the woodland ceremony site and it was AMAZING. Our guest keep remarking about what a magical ceremony we had and it was so unique and like no one else's! The barn is a PERFECT back drop for pictures. There is not much you have do to do inside site to make it nice- all the twinkle lights inside are amazing. Love the different levels of the barn; there are some great vantage points. Now lets talk about the highlight of my weekend....THE STEAK TIPS. All of the food was amazing, from apps to dinner, but the steak tips are the best you'll ever have. You cannot not go wrong with these. We even stayed Sunday night and went back to the Pub for more steak tips :) Anyways , the entire pub staff are great. They are hard workers and its obviously they really care about what they do. My husband and I can't wait to go back to the Whitney's Inn and Shovel handle Pub. Reviewed on 11-09-2017

Sophia Buell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2017 I cannot recommend the Whitney's strongly enough! Everything was magical down to the last detail. They really understood our wish for a casual wedding and were so accommodating not just with our seating setup (adding an additional table on the 4th floor so we could all sit in the same area) but also with our wish for no alcohol to be served (even going so far as to use a table cloth to cover that part of the bar). Don was absolutely fantastic answering all my questions and being very understanding when I got busy at work and was late on numbers and details and whatnot. Our wedding was odd in that I needed to shower between the ceremony and reception (I had just climbed the face of Cathedral Ledge) and they were so understanding, leaving wraps and snacks in the room where I was showering and a bottle of martinellie's on ice. The food... oh my god the food! GET THE BEEF TIPS!!! Also the eggplant parmesan!!! Everything that came out of that kitchen blew me away! They had everything prepared, even things that I didn't think about. They did set up of the centerpieces (I did my own but wasn't there to set them up since I was busy that morning) and made room for my family and friends at the sister inn (the inn at Jackson). We were the second wedding that weekend so we weren't able to stay at the Whitney's inn but the sister in is right down the road and they blocked off all the rooms there for us. If you are looking for a relaxed, magical venue where they really take care of you and make your day perfect then this is your spot! They even were prepared to set up the ceremony inside at the last minute in case it rained and we couldn't have it where we wanted to!

Caitlin McGovern(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2016 We loved hosting our wedding with Whitney's Inn. It's so much more than a wedding venue - it's really a lasting experience. Don and his team make you feel like family, and that graciousness extends before and after your big day. We can't wait to go back! From the first tour we took on the property, to the tasting (where \"wedding alumni\" come back for a weekend getaway), to our wedding weekend, to their follow up post event… we felt unbelievably secure in our decision to work with Don. I alone must have had a thousand questions and called at least 30 times - the team was patient, helpful, and professional with each correspondence. They worked with us to outline each and every detail of our big day - setting up the venue in perfect alignment to our vision. The staff was incredible. Like most weddings we had a wide spectrum of personalities, and the team helped us ensure that everyone had fun without getting into any trouble. They did this with minimal interference and no added stress to us (the bride and groom). In my opinion, a wedding is all about the details, and no one does that better than this venue! We had handmade complimentary cookies upon check in, welcome bags for each guest waiting in rooms, a bonfire each night including at our welcome BBQ by the pond, live music at the pub on Friday before our wedding (which was extended upon the groom's father's request), a perfect \"fairy like\" woodland setting next the babbling creek for our ceremony, gorgeous cocktail hour outside the Inn and Barn, a night filled with dancing and fun at our reception, and an incredibly delicious brunch send-off. We were able to create this personalized and very full wedding weekend \"experience\" for less than a single night at other venues, and we didn't have to compromise on anything. The food was on point - the staff ensured we got to experience it despite the hustle and bustle of the day, and the steak was out of this world! A guest was never without a beverage. The music was perfect. The ceremony was well-coordinated and clear for each participant including vendors (which after being a bridesmaid in a few weddings, I know is challenging). And most importantly, everyone had fun!!! There were no absurd rules or hidden costs - Everyone raved about the experience, and we literally can't wait to return. Jackson is a perfectly quaint New England town, and Whitney's Inn does everything possible to accentuate Jackson's natural magic. It was a perfect wedding experience, and we'd recommend it to any couple. In fact, our guests have already recommended it to their engaged friends - they must want to come back to Whitney just as much as we do! Reviewed on 06-11-2016

Don and his team helped us have the exact wedding we wanted! The food was outstanding and their customer service was personal, thoughtful and helpful at every turn. It looked like it would rain for our ceremony and Don let me have both the indoor and outdoor sites set up so I could wait until the last possible moment to make the call - lucky for us, the weather cleared for an hour so we could be outside.

Amanda Stefanik(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-12-2017 We loved everything about Whitney's. We lucked out and snagged Columbus Day Weekend after two other couples had to forfeit their big day... turned out to be PEAK foliage and the weather miraculously was gorgeous. But enough bragging.Don is a real guy. From the start, I didn't feel pressured at all to book with him. He tells it like it is, gives the facts and doesn't go above and beyond to shmooze like some wedding coordinators we met with. Although he has a more hands off approach, the day of he was there for everything we needed and more. For us, the hands off approach by the staff was wonderful. It felt as if we had the entire property to ourselves for the weekend. Yet, everything was done without us having to ask. I had imagined my groomsmen running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get all of the decorations and signs in place, but Don had the staff take care of everything.We were very unconventional in nearly everything about our wedding. Don and Lorrie gave their expert opinions, and I usually went against it.. and they still supported my wishes 100% and made sure my crazy ideas worked out; even if it meant running a mic from the ceremony site to the cocktail hour to the dinner tent to the reception in the barn, just so I could make various announcements. AND THE FOOD! People are still commenting on how delicious it was. I was skeptical to have a buffet, but I'm so happy I did. The tasting alone had me hooked, but for me having people enjoy their meal is super important, and Whitney's definitely knows how to serve. They were SO flexible and helpful with every single aspect of our big day, I wouldn't have changed a thing and I wish I could relive the weekend over and over. Highly recommended for those who wish to indulge in the beauty of nature, a few steps from the beaten path, without all of the super poof and sparkly fairytale BS that some wedding venues try to push. At Whitney's you have your wedding played out your way, any way, and the staff goes above and beyond make it gorgeously unique for you. Reviewed on 26-10-2016

They also rolled with us changing the ceremony site at the last minute without batting an eye. 2. The food! Everything was excellent and our guests gave so many compliments. Their steak tips ... out of this world. 3. The Shovel Handle Pub: what a great place to have a wedding reception! Perfect for 100-130 people to eat, drink and dance the night away.

Don, the manager, was great he handled everything the day of so we didn't even need to worry about any of the minute things, such a blessing with all of the anxiety of the day. Everyone was able to stay right on site and guests were able to use the fire pit and hang out well into the night after the reception was over. They have 3 outdoor sites for the ceremony, we picked one that was just finished this year; I walked down the aisle through a row of trees and we were married in front of an old fireplace. We got so many compliments on the venue, the reception space, and the food. There were a lot of personal touches involved in the day too, Don himself served myself and my husband's food!

Kate Turaj(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2015 PROS: The food was incredible and all the guests were raving about the food. The location is beautiful! The rooms are a little pricey but worth it. The rehearsal dinner was by the picnic tables and very laid back and cute. We set up lawn games to make it fun. The Inn provides you with a list of vendors they have used and recommend which was extremely helpful in selecting those people as we were not from the area. There is a recap meeting before the weekend starts which is extremely helpful. You don't really need decorations for the reception because the barn is so beautiful. The best part about this venue is that you can have your whole wedding weekend there. It was nice to have people arrive on Friday and spend the entire weekend together. When it is just one day, it goes by too short. \r\rCONS: Don was hard to get ahold of a lot of the time. The day of my wedding, I couldn't find anyone to help me set up the entryway of the reception area (i wasn't sure where the buffet and tables needed to go) the morning of the wedding and had to wait and set up during my special \"get ready time\" with my bridesmaids later in the day. So specify when you want to do that! Don was busy that day giving a tour to a prospective bride & groom which was very frustrating. He was not the friendliest person to work with. Lori is the wedding planner up until 2 weeks before the wedding but she works remotely so you will never meet her and she isn't there the day of the wedding. You are required to fill all the rooms for 2 nights. We ended up having to pay about $300 to make up for missed rooms. The breakfast is not free. Reviewed on 17-10-2015

Don and Lori walked us through every stage of the planning process and took amazing care of us throughout the entire weekend. They were incredibly flexible and knowledgeable – we always felt like we were in good hands. They managed tent, chair, and table details and helped enormously in setting up decor. The venue was gorgeous; it is verdant, homey, rustic, well-kept, and felt very welcoming. We loved the Adirondack style and all private and public rooms were super cute and clean. We also loved the fact that most of our wedding guests could stay on the property and we heard nothing but good things about our guests’ experiences at Whitney’s Inn and the Inn at Jackson (Whitney’s sister inn). The food was PHENOMENAL; everything at the rehearsal BBQ, the wedding dinner, and the breakfasts was so delicious. There were so many food options and all of them were good. They took great care of our vegan and gluten-free guests as well. Getting married at Whitney’s Inn was one of the best decisions that we’ve ever made (after saying “yes” to Mike of course!). We look forward to visiting Whitney’s Inn again and again over the years. In sum, we could not recommend Whitney’s Inn more highly. Reviewed on 13-09-2015

I have soo many wonderful things to say about our wedding at Whitneys Inn. To try to convey all the great feelings is going to be difficult as well as figure out where to begin. We Booked our wedding at Whitneys Inn a little over a year before our actual wedding date of 6/27/2015. From the very beginning the process ran smoothly and at times seemed too easy. This thanks to our wedding coordinator Lori (which the Whitney provides) we were able to plan the wedding from afar (the Boston area) which meant we did not have to physically be there for major decisions. When it came time for the food tasting, we unfortunately we unable to attend, however we had enjoyed a dinner at the Shovel Handle Pub so we knew how fabulous the food was. We had looked around at many other options for the \"Barn type wedding\" and found that the Whiteys Inn was the most cost effective. From the simple things like linens to other small add ons, they all were included in the cost. As the wedding drew close, Lori made sure we had occasional meetings via phone to go over the checklist to make sure there wasn't anything left to be addressed. Fast forward to the Friday before the wedding. We had booked the required rooms for the 2 nights which meant our family and friends would be in for a fun filled weekend. I can honestly say from the moment we arrived to the minute we left we felt like part of the Whitneys Inn family. At no point did we ever have to worry about a thing. From the activities on that Friday night which included long hours around the fire pit, to the delicious and unbelievable breakfast which was included in the stay, we were amazed. We have stayed many places where the breakfast was included however none has compared the the choices and the amount of food that was served both mornings! We were able to order off the menu which in our experience has never been an option at a breakfast included situation. When it came time to meet with out JP and Don Billinger we grew more and more excited. It was like any fears we may had in the months leading up to our big day had suddenly disappeared. We can honestly say Don made the weekend a dream come true. The day of the wedding went on without a hitch from the preparations to the I do's, everything flowed perfectly. Our cocktail hour was a huge success thanks to the staff. They made sure all our guests had drinks in hand and hors d'oeuvres everywhere they turned. Once we arrived to our reception in the Shovel Handle Pub with all our guests were in place, the celebrating begun and our night was a huge success! The food was the biggest hit of the night, all we can say is our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and how it was the best wedding they have been to!!! The staff made sure all the plans were carried out as planned and the restaurant manager Paul was awesome too! He worked with us from the beginning like Don. Again, they made us feel like family and to them nothing else mattered but our wedding! When we woke up Sunday morning as Mr and Mrs, we were overjoyed with all the great feelings and emotions that we were feeling thatnks to the Whitneys Inn and their staff. We cannot express the happiness and content we had driving away that Sunday and feeling a tad bit of disappointment that we were ending one amazing weekend! Reviewed on 25-08-2015
Amanda Dietzel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-07-2015 We can not say enough about Don and his staff at Whitneys inn. Our wedding was amazing and way more then we could have imagined. Don can make anything happen, he even had the cook make a special bacon appetizer as a special request from me! The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are adorable, and the overall atmosphere was ideal for our laid back weekend celebration. The majority of our guest came for two nights, whitneys hosted our rehearsal dinner at the picnic area. Saturday, while we were getting ready, our guest enjoyed the pool, pond, and grounds along with local attractions. We were able to choose our timeline, there was no rental hours or limits. The food was AMAZING. I have never been to a wedding where the food was one of the best meals I have ever had. Our guests could not say enough about the whole weekend. It was such an intimate and perfect venue. The backdrops for pictures were unbeatable. We were able to take pictures in front of the barn, at the base of the mountain, along the pond. I would recommend Whitneys to anyone looking for an ideal rustic wedding. Don and his staff made the weekend run smoother then ever imagined! Reviewed on 18-08-2015
Nicole Hill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2014 Whitneys Inn was absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better venue. Everyone was so kind and helpful and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Our ceremony, very very last minute, got rained out, but no one missed a beat. They ran us inside and everything went very smoothly!! The grounds were so beautiful, we had our dogs with us. Our dogs were able to run and play and be apart of our special weekend, which was super important too. Highly highly recommend this venue!!! Reviewed on 17-09-2014
