Adobe Lodge

Description

The Adobe Lodge is the only structure to have survived the 1926 fire on the University grounds, and it remains the single structural remnant of the original 1822 Mission Santa Clara. It has been remodeled extensively, but still has a Mission-era flavor. To reach the Club, you stroll through the Old Mission Gardens and under an ancient wisteria-laden pergola. This particular vine deserves mention because it’s breathtaking, with 150-year-old trunks the size of small trees. In the spring, the pergola overflows with color. In fact, all of the landscaping flanking the entry path is delightful. Everything from the palms dotting the lawns to the multi-hued roses and pansies is perfectly maintained. There is no traffic noise in this interior garden, only the sounds of the birds.

The Spanish-tiled Adobe Lodge building is surrounded by a vine-covered porch, and inside the main dining room is formally resplendent in cream and burgandy. The Club’s outdoor patio is inviting and intimate, with Chinese elms providing dappled shade overhead. These indoor and outdoor spaces create one of the most attractive reception sites we’ve ever seen—it’s one of our favorite places in the Santa Clara Valley.
