Facilities and Capacity

With a maximum capacity of 179 guests, parties are welcome to spread out freely over the sprawling grounds of the Waterfall Lodge Retreat. From the noble beams of the Grand Reception Hall to various idyllic clearings, couples are encouraged to create their ideal vision for their special day. The Grand Reception Hall, built with stunning 19th-century pine, provides an ambience of peace and comfort for all events. Available for ceremonies, receptions, or as a dancehall, this majestic building can become the ideal focal point of your special day. Around the grounds, visitors can find luxurious travertine marble laced among rustic yet charming designs. The tiled terraces and capacious cabins of the grounds allow guests to enjoy all that nature has to offer without sacrificing modern comforts. With two elegant bedrooms and matching bathrooms, The Lodge is a convenient spot for celebrants to prepare and enjoy their special day. With the addition of a well-equipped kitchen capable of catering to large parties, The Lodge can provide an intimate setting for a close-knit celebration. The Waterfall Cabins, nine specially built A-framed lodges, can sleep up to 36 guests. Clustered among ancient trees and vibrant vistas, these cabins provide a comfortable corner to relax after the festivities. 12 other cabins are also spread out among the retreat, allowing you to fill the grounds with your nearest and dearest. If needed, outside lodgings can also be organized for extra guests. To fully absorb the serenity and peace of their surroundings, visitors are also welcome to enjoy hikes and mountain walks throughout the area. Any of these sites, and smaller ones across the grounds, can be used for ceremonies, receptions, elopements, rehearsal dinners, and engagement parties wherever possible.
