The most "authentic" venue in Colorado Springs.
This 17-acre campus is authentically Colorado Springs. The event spaces, views, and attention to detail are remarkable. Customer service is professional, yet friendly. Great location. Great venue.
Perfect Location
We could not have been any happier with how our event turned out for our son’s graduation party. The barn was the perfect size and the built in bar was perfect for serving drinks. The kids enjoyed the outdoor area as well. Staff was great to work with.
Greatest Memory of my Life!
My husband and I had our wedding in the barn and it was such a beautiful, historic building. It was perfect for our ceremony and reception and it is something I would absolutely recommend for anyone who wants a rustic style wedding!
