Dominion House

My husband and I found The Dominion House in Guthrie by accident about 5 years ago. When we first started staying here, it had a restaurant. The last few years it has not had the restaurant, but it is still well worth the visit! I have never stayed in a more beautiful and comfortable place than the Dominion House. The staff is always so nice and accommodating. The breakfast is amazing! Sylvia has been here the last few years and her breakfast burritos are amazing! We come here at least twice a year and feel like it is a second home to us.

We did an igloo for a birthday celebration. We had four adults in our party. The food and atmosphere were excellent! That's what made this place wonderful. The igloo atmosphere was excellent and something unique. We easily met the $25 min per person. The appetizers were large in my opinion. Three out of four of us ordered the steak and fries. We all had multiple drinks too. So the total for 2 hours with four adults with tip was over $400. That didn't include the rental fee that was prepaid. So the only thing that I would change would be to apply the $90 rental fee towards the food. That is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Other than that you can easily expect to spend $500 on dinner.

We went to the Dominion House last night for my daughters birthday and had a great time. We dined in one of the igloos for a cool experience. The grounds and building are beautiful and lit up; it was our first time here. When I reserved the igloo I was told there was an $80 reservation fee, which they didn't take at reservation, and the lady did advise me that each person needed to spend $25. I had seen the photos on their website and asked how to order food as table space was limited, she said usually it is pizza and appetizers that work best. Our waitress was a really sweet girl who told me it was her first time waiting on the igloo and she was under 21 so the bartender had to bring our drinks; we appreciated her honesty as some waitstaff don't tell you they're just learning. The entire party really liked the waitress; she was nice, honest and continually tried to improve our evening. We ordered 8 drinks, 7 were delivered by the bartender. We mentioned there was one missing the the bartender snapped back that they were being delivered as made.... it would seem you just wait for the one remaining vodka tonic at that point. The waitress offered that it may have been her fault and maybe she didn't enter it, she apologized and went to correct it. When the bartender brought it out, 20 minutes later, she said, "vodka soda" and we replied "tonic?" She said, "yeah, whatever". This happened over the course of the evening, soda and tonic are absolutely not interchangeable. The other weird thing was that the should be clear vodka drinks were slightly pink and we couldn't figure out why So, the igloo was cool. Small table, no full meal unless you want to hold it in your lap. There was a small electric heater in there and blankets. It was cold so they brought out a second heater which tripped all the power off. After a few drinks and food it warmed up a little, but really was too cold. We ordered bread/hummus, wings and 7 pizzas. I think if the igloos are primarily best for small plates they need to add more small plate items to the menu. They had 5-6 items in their appetizer menu, one of which was rice .... . This is where a good charcuterie board would be perfect, why they haven't thought of this is beyond me. Our good came out on two trips, about 8-12 minutes apart. The food was really good, but very cramped because there was no where to put food/plates/drinks all at the same time. It would be best to order in phases and do small plates but by the time we got our food we were so hungry we didn't really think about splitting it up. We brought our own birthday cake, they were fine with keeping it in the fridge for us and bringing it out. That was nice. What we liked:The igloo conceptOur waitressThe foodThe cocktails/drink list was funWhat we didn't like:The snappy bartender The drink/food delays (if you've worked in the food industry you know this wasn't the waitress, it was a kitchen/bar delay)The igloo was way too cold for being advertised as heated. The igloo zipper kept getting stuck, it probably needs waxed or replaced. When we left everyone was nice and asked how it was. When we said it was way too cold and there were food delays, there was no compensation or real apology. Our cost for 8 people in the igloo: $380 (before tip)HummusWings7 small thin crust pizzas (one size only option)1 coffee1 beers 13 cocktails

The Dominion house is a very cool wedding venue about 30 minutes north of OKC. I attended a wedding in the garden area, which is gorgeous. It has lovely flowers and a water feature. The parking is plentiful, but there isn't much signage. Luckily, they had a person directing us.The reception was held on the first floor. They have a bar but didn't have a sign with drink options. That tiny detail would have made the line move much more quickly. The inside is just as beautiful as outside. The wedding party decided to serve pizza, which was so yummy, but the kitchen couldn't keep up with the amount of people. The pizzas were small and only came out one at a time. The acoustics aren't very good, so make sure your DJ has extra speakers. We couldn't hear the speeches that were given.All and all, a lovely venue. Could be perfect with a few tweaks.

A super unique and fun experience! It was a super intimate time- my fiancé and I stayed the night for our anniversary. The room we stayed in was so spacious. The bathroom and closet were amazing. Excellent water pressure! The room also can with complimentary breakfast in the little refrigerator. Great food options and variety. They grounds were lovely and had a little sitting area with igloos and twinkle lights. Definitely recommend staying here.

Yeah, I post pictures to Yelp during weddings. I'm that obsessed with Yelp. The date of upload is a day off on all of my reviews. W/e.Anyway, my second cousin Travis was getting married and I NEEDED a reason to get outta Vegas so I bought my plane ticket real quick and flew, sans family, to this shindig. My cousin and his fiance, Taylor, picked the Dominion House for their 11/11/11 wedding. I've been to Guthrie a handful of times, but never in the pitch black of night so finding the place to park was not as easy as, say, probably during the day. It was FREEZING outside so when we had to walk from the ceremony (indoors) through the garden and around the front lawn to get to the reception (indoors, in the same building) I wasn't thrilled. The food, I'm assuming, was probably in house catering and was good. The A/V set up was not good - you couldn't hear any of the speeches or what was going on. If the Dominion House was in charge of the set up/layout of the wedding, which I'm assuming they were as they have wedding packages, they need to make the dance floor, slide show, place where people grab the mic to make a speech near the cake and tables were people sat because either you missed the speeches or you missed the cake cutting because they were on opposite sides of the ballroom. I'm sure this place is pretty in the daylight and I'd give this a better review if the set up here was better. (P.S. the bathrooms are upstairs.) One cool fact, this place used to be a Masonic-run orphanage.

This is definitely one of the best hotels I've visited in a long time. It felt like I was visiting someone for a high tea! The building is beautiful and its perfectly nestled inside Guthrie, Oklahoma. The shrubbery is well maintained and prestine. Its perfect for weddings and getaways. Also, whoever is responsible for the interior decor deserves a round of applause. The customer service was impeccable! We were even treated to a free upgrade and I fell in love with the claw foot bathtub. All my worries melted away on my stay, thank you!

I reserved an igloo for my fiancé and friends birthday a week ago for Jan 21st. I was charged over the phone $95 for the igloo itself. My friend and I were going to split the cost since it was also her boyfriends birthday. Well we had to cancel due to issues coming up with that day. I called to cancel and asked when I would get my refund and was told I wouldn't because it's non refundable. I was never ONCE told it was non refundable. Instead she said "well it's on our website". I didn't book through the website I booked through YOU over the phone, YOU should have told me it was no refundable, what kind of business blind sides someone like that? I'm getting married this year, I don't have $95 to just throw away. Completely unacceptable business practice. You should have made known that the igloos are non refundable if you need to cancel. Just ridiculous.

The wife and I stayed the night and could not have been more impressed. Beautiful property, gorgeous room, and friendly staff. we got a room with the tub, which my wife thoroughly enjoyed and the shower was gigantic. In the morning the chef made a personal breakfast for just the two of us that was delicious. Most importantly the cost was very reasonable. I would recommended this place over any local traditional hotel.
