Beautiful venue and amazing staff!! We had our guest stay at the hotel and wedding party in the fish camp cabins right down the street. They did our catering and set everything up for the reception and ceremony. Josh even recommended an amazing cake shop and florist. It was so easy and we loved being able to stay on site for the whole weekend. Highly recommend!

My daughter married at LRH in mid April. I can’t say enough about what a lovely experience it was. It was exactly what she was looking for. It is a rustic location for a small intimate wedding. Josh and his staff were amazing. Most out of town guests were accommodated at the hotel so did not have to drive after a night of partying.
Six months later our friends want us to plan a return to “wedding camp”for a fun weekend.
