Luxurious Woodsy Wedding Retreat
Holds ceremonies and receptions
We got married in September of 2026 and it was everything we thought it would be an more! The communication during our 2.5 year engagement was amazing, the staff were all super friendly not only with the wedding party but our guests as well! They checked in frequently but not too frequently. Laura always had the answers to our questions and even would answer most before I had the chance to ask. The venue itself was amazing! All the spaces were tidy and clean, the guests had nothing but amazing things to say! 10/10 would recommend. It was a literal dream wedding and we couldn’t be happier!
Such an amazing venue and amazing people to work with! The 3 day wedding weekend was a huge hit and made all the planning so worth it. Laura and her team were super helpful in answering any and all questions leading up to it along with giving some ideas for how they have seen other wedding parties do things. They give you the perfect space and give you the right amount of freedom to make it into what you want. Thank you Camp Elsewhere for giving me a magical place to have the best weekend of our lives!
