Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This peaceful woodland retreat is surrounded by 350 acres of Colorado's Black Forest, and boasts charming alpine, ranch, and mission-inspired outbuildings and gathering areas.
  • Host an intimate ceremony in the wonderful 1929 Taylor Memorial Chapel. Within its adobe walls, you'll find colorful carvings and paintings, an elaborate altar, a balcony, and a quaint courtyard that offers a stunning view of Pikes Peak.
  • The Ponderosa Lodge is a fabulous spot for your ceremony or reception, featuring a soaring cathedral ceiling, wood-burning fireplaces, original ironwork light fixtures, and balconies on either side of the long hall overlooking the festivities below.
