What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the Captain Charles Leonard House for its beautiful, historic ambiance and the exceptional service provided by hosts Phil and Josh. The venue is highly recommended for events due to its well-equipped kitchen, ample parking, and the charming Minerva Davis room that requires minimal decoration. While primarily a function space, its historical appeal makes it a memorable choice for celebrations.
"My husband and I have rented the Captain Charles Leonard House twice and I'm sure we'll be back again! Phil was quick to respond to our request to book our event, helpful with planning, and set up the space as we had planned. He's so wonderful and helpful. He was so kind in allowing us to schedule times for setting up / decorating that worked best for our event.
The building itself is beautiful and quaint. It's always clean and welcoming. They've got everything you need for catering (if you choose to use the kitchen). I can't say enough good things.
In January 2021 my husband and I had our small "covid" wedding here, and 2/10/24 I just had my baby shower. The main room (Minerva Davis) is so pretty you don't have to do much decorating to make the space beautiful for your event.
Thank you again, Phil!"
