Mike & Donna,
"I wanted to write you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed Banning Mills! I was one of about thirty people there for the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy retreat this spring and we fell in love Banning so much that we couldn't wait to come back!! So we did, with the whole family."

"I highly recommend Historic Banning Mills to anyone planning on holding an event and wishing to escape the city. We plan on making Historic Banning Mills our place of choice for all future training workshops"

"My husband and I came to Banning Mills for a two-day getaway and loved every minute! The zip lining we did was so much fun! We did levels 1-3 and had a blast! We loved it so much we wanted to add on and do more! The guides were very friendly and helpful and made it a fun time. We are already planning a return trip to come back and do some of the zip lines we didn't get to this time!"

"We had a great time Ziplining with Jason and Jeremy! Thank you for being fun and patient!"

"Awesome experience for first timers or experienced zip liners."

"My husband and I decided to take a trip to Lake Guntersville for our 10 year Anniversary. The zipline was a great adventure for us. The staff was GREAT and very knowledgeable. We had a fabulous time and are already planning on another trip to zipline with a group of friends. I am excited to see what the level 2 course looks like when it is complete."

"We had a blast on Memorial Day celebrating my birthday zip lining!!! The staff is super knowledgeable and made the experience so much fun. We highly recommend to all ages!!!"

"My brother and I planned a zip line tour at the Guntersville Al State Park but made reservations at Banning Mills by mistake. The day before our trip we called to confirm and was told we had reservation at the wrong place. They were friendly and helpful and were able to get our reservation straightened out .
That said, for our first time zip lining we had a wonderful time. We were a little nervous at first but after that first step off the "

"We researched a few zipline sites before finding this one, and we are so glad we came to Banning Mills. The staff was professional yet pretty laid back. We went on level 1 and 2 with Eli and Danny. The courses were fun and each one had a beautiful view. Our only regret is that we wish we had taken a go pro to capture the memories! We took a cell phone, but I couldn't record while on the cable. Next time we will come prepared! Thanks Eli and "

"My Girlfriend and I did the Extreme Tour all four levels with no add-on total time about 3.5 hrs .. I had never zipped before So level 1 for me was getting my feet wet a little wimpy for her. but 2-4(Screaming Eagle) was Fantastic. Two great guides Aaron and Jessie (top notch)...still talking about the experience a week later too whom every will listen"

"Could not begin to express how amazing the couples getaway was. Zip lining was great but the flight of the falcon was more than we could ever imagine. For dinner, my life had the rainbow trout, which was the best meal we've ever tried. Staying in the treehouse overlooking the creek was icing on the cake. We will do it again in the fall when the leaves change colors."

"Took my kid and his friends to zipline. they had a great time. We chose the level 4 which starts with level one and moves to more and more challenging walkways and zipline. It is a bit pricey at $149 per person but it is really good. I had ziplined at North Shore in Haiwaii Climbworks. This had more ziplines and more challenging walkways and zipline than in Hawaii. We would definitely come again. If zipline isn't your thing, you can ride hor"

"I am not a young woman. At first, I was so nervous about zip lining. There was no need for worry. This was an amazing and fun experience. It was great. My daughter and I loved it. Definitely! will do this again."

"Our Sunday School class consisting of people from the ages of 40 years old and up enjoyed this experience! Some of our class members also rented a couple of rooms on location. There are a couple of tree houses you can rent to stay overnight and they are amazing! As far as zip-lining goes, the instructors are wonderful. I was VERY afraid and the instructor was so kind. This tour consists of a series of small zip lines and the first portion is"

"My wife and I [along with our Niece and Nephew] did the zip-lines [Level 3] which is why were there, but , far from why it was AWESOME! The meals were fantastic. The staff were so nice and accommodating. We played pool, sat on the back balcony overlooking the woods, whilst you can also hear the creek, the sounds of nature are all around you without eating you alive. We are looking forward to our next stay in October. BTW, the safety measures"

"We took our Central Church Adventure Couples zip lining on the level 1 tour and had an awesome time! Some of the group was very afraid of heights and the staffs attention to safety and working with the customers allowed everyone to have a great time. The entire group wants to do the other levels later this fall."

"I have always believed that it is never too late to say I'm sorry, I love you, or thank you...and in this case, a thank you in the form of a review is LONG overdue. My husband and I were married at Vinewood Plantation in Newnan, GA on October 30, 2015; it will forever be the very best weekend of my life. My husband and I first learned about Banning Mills from Vinewood's "Preferred Vendors" list. This was to be a destination wedding, as we, a"

"My mom, dad and brother went zip lining here last year and they gave my husband and I a gift certificate for zip lining. For our 1 year anniv. trip I planned out the the whole weekend. We arrived Sat. morning, pumped and ready for our zip lining adventure (level 1). We had so much fun with our guides. They were so awesome. Then we had dinner there which was AWESOME and delicious! And our room was very nice and clean. It also had a beautiful "

"We had a group of 9- all different ages- and EVERYONE had an awesome time! Banning Mills is a beautiful place, and zip lining through the trees was awesome. I do have to say that the guides- Jessie and Brad - totally made the trip more relaxing and fun! No matter what our group threw their way, they rolled with it and we're very helpful."

"We had so much fun today with y'all. Wish it lasted a little longer."

We hosted a 4-day corporate retreat at this absolutely stunning property, and it was exactly what our company needed. I highly recommend Banning Mills team-building activities, especially the GPS Adventure Challenge, and ziplines for any high-performing team looking for some non-work bonding activities. The rooms have views that cannot be beaten, and the staff made everyone feel like they were being treated to something quite special. The feedback from our team couldn’t have been better. For those organizing your corporate offsite, [Historic Banning Mills] will make your life simpler when planning your offsite and were a pleasure to work with.

On behalf of the staff and board of PCCI, we want to thank you personally for all of your help making PCCI’s Board/Staff Retreat a success!   You were patient, helpful and accommodating to all of our needs.  This was the best retreat ever!   We received overwhelming positive feedback and appreciation.  Please see below for a few comments from the team.

• The retreat seemed to go really well!
• I enjoyed myself a lot, and I think we had a great board meeting to boot.
• I just wanted to thank you for the retreat.
• It was great to see everyone and connect after such a long time.
• I had so much fun as I’m sure everyone did-it was even fun to be scared witless on the extension bridge and my body is still complaining after horseback riding which I thoroughly enjoyed.
• What a wonderful retreat! Thank you so much!
• The accommodations were wonderful and relaxing.
• It was so great to spend time with my peers.  I missed spending time with everyone in person.

So much fun!
