Perfect space for gatherings
I hosted a small photo meetup at Wiseacre and it was the perfect space for it! The owner is fantastic and flexible to your needs. The decor is so unique and fun and the view of the lake is lovely. I loved using the hot tub as well! Thanks Chuck! I would definitely recommend to anyone needing a space that can fit a group of people, or if you just need a getaway!
