Recommendations

Great Baby Shower venue - An Eventective User from Baroda, MI

The Summer House has great views of nature and made for a nice backdrop for our Baby Animal theme.

Aaron Greene - An Eventective User from Niles Michigan

This location is a great venue to set up for a wedding. The place is beautiful and it doesn't cost much at all. When we got there to check out the place, flowers were everywhere, everything was pristine, and the people were so nice. I couldn't have found a better place to get married at. When I was in search for a venue and contacted Allison there, she made everything so easy. Plus, the city of Niles offers so much for people that are not familiar to the area. I would recommend the location to everyone who asked.
