Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's the perfect Rockies hideaway, offering gorgeous views of the mountains and the promise of total privacy—they only host one event per day.
- You'll love all their unique venue options, like the rustic-chic Mother Lode Lodge; The Shaker, an open-air platform tented with sail cloth; and Highbanker Beach, a creekside lounge area perfect for al fresco cocktails and bonfires.
- Spend your wedding night in the Claim Jumper Cabin, with its welcoming décor, kitchenette, and wood-burning fireplace—the gentle babble of the neighboring creek will lull you sleep.
