Accommodations

Click to take a vitural tour of: The Original Lodge - The New Lodge - Room Types

You have the option to buy-out one or both lodges. You can book the resort for your EXCLUSIVE use, which means only you and your guests will have the entire place to yourselves. It's unlike being in a large hotel where they have other events, guests, and meetings going on all around you while your special day is being celebrated. Since our wedding bookings are almost always an overnight event, you and your guests don't have to worry about driving home after a long day of celebrating.

Our Original Lodge includes 11 regular rooms, family room and a honeymoon suite for the couple; all rooms include a private bath. The lodge also features a spectacular Great Room and Recreation room that includes a pool table, big screen TV with ample seating, library, and numerous other games. There is also a large deck and covered patio. Our newest lodge features our unique 1500 sq. ft. indoor/outdoor reception hall, 7 luxury suites and grand dining hall. Both lodges set on 1200 acres of beautiful rolling hills and trails. We offer many recreational activities such as ATV's, horseback riding, mountain biking or sporting clays to entertain your wedding party and guests.
