"Everything was provided with professionalism and grace. Thank you for a great stay. The grounds are beautiful. The service is over the top and the amenities are easily accessed and in great working order. Being able to grab a bike on impulse and ride through the property as well as neighboring Reynolda and the Wake Forest campus was a much-appreciated perk. Thank you, Graylyn."

"This venue is truly enchanting for a wedding. From the architecture to all of the grounds, it is truly a hidden gem within the city limits of Winston-Salem. The staff is very attentive but do not hover. This property was easily walkable but also ADA compliant."

Simply incredible.
“Everything exceeded my wildest expectations. I stayed in the Manor House and truly felt like a lady of the manor. I was also staying for my wedding weekend and I am so happy I did because Graylyn will forever play a special moment in my life. Truly could not recommend enough.”
