The scenic grounds of Chesnut Bay Resort in Leesburg, Ala., have been a favorite destination for families and visitors in Cherokee County. Known for its Pirate’s Bay water park, campgrounds, lakeside beach and cozy cabin rentals, the resort has now added a new crown jewel: The Venue at Chesnut Bay, according to WEIS.
Unveiled with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Cherokee Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 24, the Venue introduces a sophisticated new option for weddings, reunions, corporate gatherings, holiday parties, and more. Guests at the opening were treated to coffee, doughnuts, and a guided tour of the beautiful facility, which owner Rob Brown says will serve both resort visitors and the public.
The Venue features comfortable seating for 90 guests, with space to accommodate up to 120. Inside, a full kitchen makes catering seamless, while future plans include an outdoor kitchen and grill area on the balcony, complete with a gas fireplace — perfect for gatherings that flow from indoors to the scenic outdoors.
