I had a celebration of life a week ago for my husband. The food was excellent, the customer service was perfect. Thank you so much Ted and Peter for making this go smoothly and for your attention to details. My guests had a fantastic time. A great location over looking beautiful Hamilton Lake and a gorgeous sunset.
I recently had all of my wedding festivities at Cold Springs Resort. This venue was very important and sentimental to me as my grandparents spent time there growing up. Pete was very laid back and open to my new ideas on how I wanted my wedding day to go. Everything looked great and I highly recommend this venue to others.
As a wedding coordinator, we are given the opportunity to work with many vendors and it's not often that we find a venue owner more accommodating than Peter and the crew at Cold Springs. So willing to help with anything we ask of him What a beautiful place. So much history and sentimental charm. Great value to any couple looking for a location for their ceremony and reception. Hope to be back again soon.
We had a great time at the hall, the band was great! I didn't get anything but a burger at the restaurant but it was very good! Parking was kind of an obstacle, and the bathroom smelled of fishy lake and sewage, unless I followed an act that had a serious feminine issue going on, undetermined.
A huge THANK YOU to Cold Springs Resort for an unforgettable weekend!! We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception all at the venue. The breath taking views of the lake and the vintage vibes of the old hotel and dance hall made for a beautiful back drop. Cold Springs also prepared the food for the rehearsal dinner and it was so delicious! The brothers that run the venue are so easy to work with and make for a very easy weekend. We had so many compliments on the venue from our guests!
Only ate there. Food is good an atmosphere is good if you eat outside. On Friday nights during the season, they have bands. I don't particularly like the restaurant part. Food is still good, but it's in a basement. Much prefer outside uh
Very cool place. So much history and they've done some really nice renovation, especially outside. Food and service are both excellent.
Very small menu. Food and drinks are good. The outside seating and 2 man band entertainment was decent. Personally this is a one time deal. If you have a boat around the area or live by here, it worth trying out.
