Great Room: This massive 5,300 square foot room embodies the character and ambiance of the Lodge featuring a 50ft ceiling, a massive fireplace, wood and limestone floors and massive wood pillars. As a gorgeous ceremony location, the Great Room is the perfect place to start your journey together.

The Lawn: A beautifully shaded stretch of park land between the main Lodge and cabins makes for the perfect outdoor wedding venue. The deep greens and bold browns are stunning in the spring and summer months. And with the autumn come the most beautiful oranges and reds as the trees change their camouflage.
