Our event spaces

Main Lodge

Our 1960’s rustic lodge was restored and redesigned in 2020 to hold weddings, family retreats, corporate retreats, or any special event.

Lined with windows, the upper level of the Lodge offers sweeping views of Waltman Lake. Its white washed pine paneled walls offer a light, airy space that makes perfect for a beautiful dinner. The original stone fireplace adds a classic charm that makes the Lodge an inviting space to gather. Just a short trip downstairs takes you to more lakeside views and a walk out patio. The best part about our lower level? Our custom 15 ft bar, made from a 103 year old walnut tree from the property.

    Waltman Lake Lodge is incredible! We had our wedding here in July 2023 and it was our best day ever! This venue was so beautiful, I wish we stayed longer! We had a hand full of guest come from overseas that were able to stay right at the venue. The cabins are very nice, adorable & comfy. Emma was so wonderful and great to communicate with. Lindsey, the day of coordinator really out did herself. She really knows how to make your big day the best. It was sweet meeting Mark the owner as well. I can't thank these guys enough for all the hard work they did for us. 10/10 wedding venue for ceremony , reception & more!
