Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A tranquil valley surrounds this exclusive, private wedding retreat, set on 17 wide-open acres near Salida with dramatic mountain views. 40 overnight guests can be accommodated in a mix of private guest rooms, full-hookup RV sites, ultra-cool ‘glamping' domes, and tent camping sites, making it the perfect fit for a Colorado camp-style getaway.
- You'll get far more than a few hours—you'll get the whole weekend. A minimum rental of three days and two nights gives you ample time for both celebration and relaxation, so your ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, and day-after brunch can all unfold in one place.
- The feel is both elegant and relaxed, with laid-back gathering spaces that make the most of this stunning location, including a creekside ceremony spot, rustic-chic barn, outdoor beer garden, fire pit, plus a caterer's kitchen, grills, and pizza ovens.
