You can choose from private cottages, hotel rooms, RV sites, and campgrounds. This variety ensures that every guest, from the bridal party to extended family, has a comfortable place to rest after a long day of celebrations.

For guests seeking privacy and modern comforts, our private cottages are fully equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, and personal hot tubs. These units provide a home-away-from-home feel, allowing guests to relax in seclusion. Alternatively, our hotel rooms offer a more traditional lodging experience with ensuite bathrooms and access to a large hot tub overlooking the river. Both options are designed to help guests unwind after a day filled with outdoor adventures.

For those who prefer a closer connection to nature, we provide well-appointed campgrounds and RV sites.

The sites feature water and electric hookups, ensuring that even the most rustic stay includes modern conveniences. This flexibility allows guests to choose the level of immersion in nature that best fits their preferences.

Outdoor Activities and Team Bonding

A wedding weekend is an opportunity for guests to bond and create shared memories.

The venue itself offers multiple spaces for ceremonies and receptions, each with its own unique character. The Riverside Meadow provides a lush, green setting for outdoor ceremonies, while the Riverside Patio offers an intimate backdrop serenaded by the river. For receptions, the panoramic views of the mountains serve as a stunning backdrop for photos and celebrations. The flexibility of these spaces allows couples to design a wedding that is truly their own.

Indoor and Outdoor Options

In addition to outdoor spaces, we offer indoor venues such as the Cliffdell Room and the Fireside Lounge. These spaces are perfect for weather-dependent events or for guests who prefer a more enclosed setting.
