My daughter was married here in October and when we visited Rural Hill we were very excited. The views were really pretty and fit the theme my daughter wanted. Surrounded by nature and being told we could rent the venue and all the cabins for the entire weekend we were sold. When the contract was signed and deposit paid NOTHING was mentioned about a future RV park. So when we visited next we noticed land that had been altered and construction going on. My daughter contacted Emily, the manager, and asked what was going on. It was only then that we were informed of the RV park and additional cabins that were being built. So the "You can have this venue all to yourself" was an outright lie! The owners knew what they were doing and chose not to be forthcoming with potential renters. Now make no mistake, the owners have every right to do with their property as they see fit, however being open and honest with people is what should have happened. My daughter emailed the owners about her and her future husband's concerns and wanted to meet with them but the owners couldn't take the time, even though they live within walking distance of the venue, they emailed instead which was the easy way out.

We were told that there would be no RV traffic during the evening which of course wasn't true, several vehicles drove through while the ceremony and reception was taking place. I get it, when you've rented a space to camp you should be able to access it as you please, but as owners with more than enough acreage, there should be separate entrances for both the wedding venue and the camping area.

Now about the cabins. I didn't go into every one, but the two I did see were less than clean.The main cabin where my daughter and her bridesmaids stayed on the surface was nice, but the showers had mold growing on the shower curtain, drain, and shower head. The floors throughout hadn't been mopped in quite some time, and when we moved furniture in the living room for picture taking we uncovered a disgusting amount of dirt and grime. The railings on the stairs are definitely not up to code-there is a huge gap between the railings in the loft area that a small child could fall through. The deck on the main cabin, while big, is in need of repair. Some of the hand rails are coming away from the posts leaving splinters of wood and rusty nails. The stairs on the "bunk house" above the kitchen are not in good shape either.
