Customer Reviews
Our small wedding celebration at Branches in September 2025 was truly PERFECT. When planning our intimate wedding, we knew the most important thing was to have a place where our closest friends and family could all stay together and enjoy the beauty of this special area in NY where I grew up. Within 5 minutes of getting on site, we knew this was the place! The grounds and house are basically a playground for both adults and kids, with so many beautiful spaces to hang out, explore, and celebrate together. An indoor pool party on our rehearsal dinner night and pickleball tournament the day after our wedding?!? Yes please! Steve was amazing to work with and honestly helped make the whole experience what it was. He was thoughtful, easygoing, and clearly cared about making sure everything went
This is our second visit to this property. First, Steve, the host, is amazing, so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating. His team including John was always available as well to help in anything we needed. We travel with a large group and the space always is comfortable. We have been only in winter but are eager to try in spring or summer as well. We will continue to be returning visitors as long as Steve and his team own this property. We love it!
Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. My husband and I hosted our micro wedding here and our guests stayed on location with us for multiple nights. It was absolutely perfect for what we had planned. The owner, Steve, is one of the highlights of the place. He is incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating. I am a very type A person & he took every question, concern, and request with endless grace and kindness. He even provided a room map, room detail chart, and caterer recommendations to assist my planning. The building itself is gorgeous and so are the grounds. We held our ceremony in a small clearing where a few of the walking/hiking trails meet on the island. Genuinely I cannot express how perfect this place was for us. I would absolutely recommend staying here a thousand times over.
We held our small DIY family wedding here at this truly magical and unique property, and couldn't have been happier with everything that this place has to offer! From the beautiful grounds and amazing inn and gathering space, the private island, the massive pool and spa area and the spectacular views of the mountains, we will always be grateful for the memories we made here. The owner and staff worked with us to help make the dream come true, and were amazingly responsive to our questions and needs along the way. We can't wait to go back, Highly recommend!
We had a family reunion here with 30+ people and the place was fantastic. So many activities and the resort was kept in incredible shape. We've done this a bunch of other places over the years and this is our #1 favorite!
