We had the absolute honor of getting married at Golden Pine, and I don’t even know where to begin… this place holds something special. The energy there is so sacred, peaceful, and grounding—it truly felt like the land itself was blessing our union.We originally planned to have our ceremony outdoors, but last minute the weather shifted, and we decided to move it inside. What could have felt like a stressful change ended up being one of the most magical decisions—we were completely in awe of how beautiful, intimate, and heart-opening the space felt indoors. And when the rain cleared, we still got to enjoy the breathtaking outdoor setting. Honestly, it was perfect in every way.Shmuley, the owner, is such a kind and genuine soul. Working with him was so easy and comfortable—he was supportive, flexible, and truly cared about making sure everything went smoothly for us. And it did! Our wedding day was the most love-filled, seamless, magical event we could have ever imagined.The combination of Golden Pine with our incredible vendors created something truly unforgettable. The land, the space, the people—it all came together like a dream. We will forever hold this place in our hearts and recommend it to anyone looking for a venue that radiates beauty, presence, and soul.Thank you, Golden Pine and Shmuley, for being such a meaningful part of the most important day of our lives.

Golden Pine was exactly what I needed for a weekend getaway. The property is beautiful, tucked away among tall pine trees that make you feel like you're in your own private forest. Our room was clean and comfortable, with everything I needed. What really made the stay special was the peaceful atmosphere and Schmuly, the owner, who went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. The stars at night were incredible - you don't get views like that in the city! Perfect spot if you're looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Less

An amazing place with a great atmosphere in the pines of bus drop. The facility itself got so many great rooms. Great atmosphere and the outdoors is just beautiful and also the host. I really like the guy. I really was there for everything we needed. It's a good place to run a workshop. That's what we did and probably it's also a good place for a big hangout for a big family Less

Just got back from an awesome retreat in Smithville, where we threw a bash for my sister's 25th birthday. The place was a perfect fit for our crowd of 50, all comfortably fitting among the peaceful pines. The owner was great. He allowed us to set tents outside for an added camping vibe. What a blast it was! Sleeping under those clear skies with just the sound of the wind in the pines, I couldn't have asked for more. The retreat itself was top-notch – clean, comfy, and loaded with everything we needed. All in all, Golden Pine turned out to be a fantastic choice for our get-together. Would definitely recommend.
