We went to a wedding there. It was absolutely beautiful. I had no idea Seven Oaks was a venue. Inside was beautiful and very spacious.

Paintballing at Seven Oaks was a blast everyone in our group had fun and can't wait to go again!

For our Customer Service week at Mediacom, the employees out of the Ames and Carroll offices decided to go paintballing. The Seven Oaks people were very accommodating. We ended up having 23 people playing and they had everything ready and waiting when we got there. The guys that did the safety instructions were very thorough and made sure everyone followed the rules. They had plenty of room up by the paintball field that we set up some boards and played bags while waiting to play after getting out. I've had many ask if we could do it again next year. Thank you for the Great Time!

I had my wedding here and everything was amazing! Sara and Maddie truly went above and beyond with everything! They even offered last minute to assist with finding a new hair and make up artist when my cancelled the day before! They were extremely accommodating to all our needs and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

My son had a great 10th birthday party at Seven Oaks this past weekend on the paintball course. The outdoor area was great for our group of 8 for their first real paintball experience. The workers were awesome walking the boys through how to use their equipment and getting them taken care of when the CO2 tanks needed to be refilled. Would highly recommend Seven Oaks Recreation for a unique birthday party!

My son and his wife had their wedding reception here. We couldn't have asked for a better venue! The building is beautiful. They even had the patio/fire pit area ready for our guests! The staff was amazing. They made sure everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Highly recommended.

4 miles West of Boone off US 30. Best place in central Iowa, for snow skiing and tubing. Well groomed and maintained. Equipment rental and lessons available. Food, beverages, and affordable pricing. All things considered, I give this 4 stars for snow skiing in central Iowa. Get out there and have fun!

Excellent river kayaking experience! Seven Oaks staff made everything easy, from online reservation, confirmation, day of float. Prices were reasonable, staff was friendly & helpful! River float was perfect! Great time on the water!

This place is an upgrade from skiing at Mt Crescent. The lifts run smoothly, lots of runs with different difficulty options. The lodge was very nice with lots of room and food/snack options. I just wish it was easier to access from Omaha and not 3 hours away haha.
