Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Absolutely perfect location for our 40th anniversary weekend. Gorgeous view as soon as you pull in to parking lot and loved the fresh flowers placed all over the inside of lodge as well as the gardens. Bed was super comfortable with a large bathroom - very clean. We ate dinner and breakfast in the dining room and had a beer at the beer hall - everything was great. Dinner and service were perfect way to celebrate our anniversary night. We also did the history tour (very informative, highly recommend) and meet the sheep tour. We walked the trail to the chapel and rang the bell. Front desk staff were very nice and enjoyed the gift shop. So happy to have chosen this special place for a very ...

We were so excited to stay here, and it absolutely did not disappoint! This was easily one of the most enjoyable stays of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Having the shuttle on-site to take guests to the different attractions was such a convenient bonus and made getting around effortless. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. We stayed in a room with a balcony, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Waking up and enjoying the scenery each morning was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The location is fantastic, and there is so much to do right on the property that you really ne...

Cannot say enough good things about our stay. Had a 2 night stay in July and we were pleasantly surprised by the expansive grounds, the food, and especially the staff. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. We stayed in a Nordic king bed room - it was gorgeous. With a balcony overlooking the mountains, a sizable area for sitting and dressing, and a fridge and coffee maker, it had everything we needed. The views are spectacular, and the trails on the grounds are not to be missed. It was a little cool while we were there, but there’s an enormous outdoor in-ground pool that we would have liked to experience, if not for the weather. We will definitely be back!

We came to this place for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. From the hospitality of the staff to the delicious food and relaxed atmosphere we could not ask for more. However, we did get more. We had the wonderful opportunity to meet with Christina vonTrappe who couldn’t have been more humble and charming. We hope to return soon to this amazing place!
