The cabin was super nice and clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked. I probably wouldn't stay here again with more than maybe 12 people, so everyone can have plenty of space, but I definitely WILL keep Chandler Ridge in mind for future gatherings. We paid the extra fee to use the barn and another fee to have a small wedding. It was a lovely venue and still pretty affordable. The host was very communicative and accommodating. She let us check out the property ahead of time and even get in a little early to clean/decorate the barn. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!
