Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The raw majesty of Tonto National Forest encircles this private venue perched above the azure waters of Bartlett Lake. It’s only 45 minutes from the heart of Phoenix, but feels utterly secluded, natural, and tranquil.
- Sunsets are truly spectacular, thanks to an unobstructed, elevated location. Offering both indoor and outdoor areas that seat up to 200, every space is designed to showcase the lake and the dramatic mountains that line its shores.
- Three thoughtfully planned packages (including micro-weddings!) feature in-house catering, and make pulling your party together a snap, and even include use of two seriously adorable dressing cottages.
