***Update*** The Orchard House is now under new management (and in a strange turn of events is operated by a family we know). While my husband and I have not had the opportunity to visit since new ownership, I trust that it is managed well. My opinion on Dunn's Landing remains the same, but we would definitely visit the Orchard House again! Original Review:We chose Dunn's Landing and their Bed and Breakfast, The Orchard House, for our 2013 Fall Wedding because we were searching for a quaint and intimate setting. While the setting was beautiful, we urge you to use caution when working with these folks as their demeanor is very inconsistent and at times quite rude. While we loved the venue, the difficulties in working with them (Robin, her brother and her brother's boyfriend) made us feel unwelcome and added to the stress of an already stressful time. We definitely felt as though our presence - both on the day of the event and when viewing or setting up before the event - was an inconvenience to them rather than feeling like welcomed guests. This, in addition to poor communication around scheduling, pricing and set-up made us regret our decision to have the reception there.Based on our experience, we would neither use the venue again nor would we recommend them to family or friends.

We had our class reunion at Dunn's Landing last fall. The venue is immaculate! Every detail is perfect! The tables and chairs were lovely. The parking space is plentiful and there was a parking attendant. I did not do the planning but I understand the price was supper reasonable. I would definitely use them again for a large dinner reception.

I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding here and it was horrible. The owner, Robin, made my friend cry on her wedding day, she was so mean and controlling. The DJ was still setting up during the reception and when I asked him why, it was because the folks at Dunns Landing would not let them in to set up until an hour before the wedding!!! When we showed up for the rehearsal the day before the wedding, I was early and Robin told us to leave. She said that it was her home and she didn't want a bunch of people hanging out. So we had to leave and come back 30 minutes later. THE PLACE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! By the time we drove to Baldwin City, we turned around and came back. We waisted at least $15 in gas going back and forth for no reason. If she doesnt want people to be on her property, why does she rent it out for weddings? Do not use this place. They are HORRIBLE and you will regret it.
