"I'm an event coordinator for a sales department for a big company in Cleveland. For our quarterly meeting we decided to do something off the beaten path and head to Punderson for a two night stay....little did my fellow coworkers know that it is haunted. \n\nFrom the beginning of the planning approximately a month or two before the event through the time of checkout we experienced only excellence in customer service and attention to detail, much of the kudos goes to the group sales representative, Amy Otto. \n\nFirst the accomodations- We stayed in the gorgeous and historic manor house. My coworkers stayed in the new wing and as the coordinator of the event they put me in an Estate King room in the older haunted part of the house as a free courtesy. I did not see my coworkers rooms, however I can tell you that my room was very comfortable, spacious and full of that creaky old character only found in historic houses that have been preserved over time. \nOur conference room was the parlour which was also located in the older wing. It was comfortable, the perfect size for us (a group of 10), and the views of the lake were breathtaking. If you are coming with a smaller group, I highly suggest the parlour (However it is located on the second floor, so it's not ideal if any of your group has mobility issues since there is no elevator)\n\nSecond the food- Every single meal that we had catered was fresh, on time, delicious and exactly what we ordered. Perhaps my only small complaint is that due to the staff size the bar (which is usually only serviced by one individual) often closes at an early hour and if you are the only one looking for a drink you might have to hunt down a bartender. Nevertheless, this didn't bother our boozy group and drinks flowed throughout the course of the meeting. \n\nThird the ambiance and service- Our group was very intrigued by the ghost stories, of which there is no short supply. My coworkers would ask the Punderson staff about their own personal stories and the staff welcomed the questions and willingly shared their tales. Prior to dinner our second day Amanda, one of the wait staff actually took us upstairs into the attic and secret tower room (located above the parlour), they also took us into the Windsor Suite, which is supposedly the most haunted place in the manor, this earned MAJOR points with me and everyone in our group. It was certainly the hightlight of the trip. While we unfortunately didn't have any ghost stories to add to the many legends upon our checkout we did thoroughly enjoy watching over our shoulder and sleeping with the lights on. \n\nAs a coordinator who has planned many offsite events I cannot recommend Punderson enough. The venue has that certain je ne sais quoi about it that one would not expect to find in America, let alone tucked away in the farmlands of Ohio. The service absolutely matched quality of the accommodations and the warmth of the staff warmed the manor like the morning sun warms the beautiful dining room in the early hours of the morning. My only regret was that I couldn't thoroughly enjoy the highly recommended trails and outdoor activities, although that leaves something for our next visit."^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
