The Venue

Toes in the sand, mountains at your back.

Exchange your vows with your toes in the sand as the sparkling lake and majestic mountain backdrop create an unforgettable setting for you and up to 75 guests. Then celebrate under our spacious 20' × 40' white reception tent, and as the sun sets over the water, dance the night away on the 14' × 22' covered pavilion overlooking the lake.
