The Eldred Preserve

What a spectacular place on so many levels! Our “cabin” was as luxurious as one can get with high end everything including heated floors, jacuzzi tub, gas fireplace, and a wall of glass overlooking the snow covered woods. The breakfast included was amazingly delicious and diverse with the 2 lovely kitchen staff going above and beyond to offer me gluten free options such as a decadent chocolate brownie, muffins and French toast. Dinner at their Homestead restaurant was a treat also. To top it all off, the acres of grounds were beautiful to behold. My husband and I snowshoed around their lake which was peaceful and fun. They provided the snowshoes. This weekend vacation at the Eldred Preserve was possibly our best weekend getaway ever! And we have had many! Bravo and well done to everyone there!

We had such a pleasant stay at this beautiful resort. We love being able to stroll around the lake, it’s truly one of our favorite parts of staying here. Having an on-site restaurant is wonderful, the happy hour is great, and the breakfast is absolutely amazing. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. While there was a small mix-up with our room at check-in, the way the team handled it really stood out. They were genuinely apologetic, showed true integrity and care. We appreciate how quickly everything was resolved and how comfortable they made us for the rest of our stay.

Amazing place. You couldn't ask for a more scenic place set in nature for you to have a wedding venue. From the babbling brook to the surrounding ponds its amazing here. The food was great and the staff so nice. Everything feels nice and up to date. Not like some of the usual out dated wedding halls.

The food was amazing and staff was very friendly. The service was great and the place is beautiful. I’ve been there numerous times before and plan on going back. I would highly recommend to anyone to go and eat there.

If you are looking for a getaway that perfectly balances serenity and activity, the Eldred Preserve is it. The grounds are impeccably kept, offering peaceful nooks for quiet reflection alongside a stunning lakeside trail for a scenic hike. The service was the definition of "above and beyond." Curtis and his incredible team made our entire party feel like VIPs, ensuring that every need was met before we even had to ask. I was also thoroughly impressed by the dining experience. It is clear the management took past feedback to heart, as the food quality has reached a whole new level. This is a true destination for anyone seeking a polished, high-end retreat

We recently had our wedding at The Eldred Preserve, and it was truly the best day of our lives. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Curtis and Matt were incredible—warm, accommodating, and completely on top of every detail. Their care and professionalism made the entire planning process seamless. We toured several local venues, but nothing compared to The Eldred. The setting is stunning, the property is spotless, and every staff member we interacted with was wonderful. We were able to take so many beautiful photos in a variety of locations around the property — everywhere you turn is a perfect backdrop. Our hotel room was beautiful, and the food was outstanding. We were even able to customize our menu, and it turned out exactly the way we envisioned. We planned our small wedding (25 people) in just about two months, and thanks to Curtis and Matt, it was stress‑free. Our guests were blown away by the venue and couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. We truly had an amazing day. If you’re looking for a picture‑perfect wedding and a team of people who genuinely care about making it unforgettable, look no further than The Eldred Preserve.

Bradstan Resort and Eldred Preserve were fabulous, as was the Homestead Restaurant. My "criticism" is that they should also serve lunch and that the restaurant should be open all 7 days of the week. Hotel guests should not have to leave the grounds. A lot of the area restaurants also closed mid-week, and the surrounding area is not so great, in my opinion.

We had our wedding at the Eldred Preserve in October 2025 and it was truly the best day ever! Matt & Curtis are the dream team and made sure our day was perfect. They went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. They were very responsive to all of our emails and were always willing to hop on a call to discuss the details as we were planning. One thing we were worried about was the space in the reception room because we had a 10 piece band and we were at the higher end of the guest count. Matt was able to create multiple floor plan options for us to review and the space set up was perfect. The food was honestly some of the best wedding food we have ever had. The Eldred Preserve grounds are stunning and the hotel is gorgeous. My guests could not believe how beautiful the place was. There is a big lake in the back where we were chauffeured around in a golf cart to take some of our wedding photos. Our guests also enjoyed the lake where they could kayak, walk around the paths, paddle boat and more. The breakfast in the morning is also delicious. Irvin, who runs the hotel, was amazing and worked with us to make sure all of our guests were able to get rooms. The Eldred Preserve is a one stop shop for a wedding and has everything you could possibly imagine to complete your wedding day. We also had our rehearsal dinner/welcome party the night before at the Pergola which is also one of their many nice event spaces. The pergola is outdoors, but has heaters. We were very comfortable on a chilly October night under the pergola. There is also a fire pit nearby that my guests very much enjoyed during our welcome party. Overall, I could not imagine a more perfect venue for our special day.
