I'm a Vermont wedding photographer who photographs at dozens of venues every year. Ohana shines brighter than all the rest, and I always tell clients who book their weddings there that they made the best decision for their celebration. Why? Fi...
rst, Ohana is in the most beautiful place, tucked in the woods with a stunning view of Lake Fairlee and the surrounding mountains, but also adjacent to the highway and other services. Next is the hospitality- Gretchen has poured her heart and soul into getting to know each couple, and spends countless hours preparing for every wedding. I've never been stressed photographing a wedding at Ohana because she makes sure everything runs smoothly, and has fun in the process. The other staff also works there because they love it, and is genuinely interested in the happiness of their guests. Finally, the whole experience! Having your own private beach and cove for your wedding is such a cool experience for guests, and the number of other activities is a great way for your family and friends to hang out without getting bored. I've brought my husband and daughter for family camp now, since we love the place so much!

We have enjoyed family reunions at venues across the country, including beaches, resorts and family camp. This one takes the prize. A precious gem. Top notch food (and we fancy ourselves "foodies"). Friendly, energetic counselors and staff, and...
an ace administrative leadership team. We hope to return!

It feels like summer camp, but better.
These are the rustic accommodations you remember from summer camp - platform tents and cabins. Though this is decidedly a step up from summer camp lodging (electricity and fireplaces and plumbing, oh my!...
)
We've been coming here on and off for 10 years. From Day 1 The staff has always been warm and welcoming. The counselors are fantastic with the kids. There is always something to do -- and there is always nothing to do, pick whichever is your preference. :) There's a great little on-site library which doubles as a small playroom for the very little ones.
Have I mentioned the food yet? You will NOT go hungry. It is seriously fantastic and NOT like the summer camps of your childhood. The kitchen staff is willing and able to work with your allergy concerns and dietary restrictions. And for those picky eaters you may have in your household, just ask - there's always the sandwich option for your kiddo that only likes PB+J (or Sunbutter+J.)
Leaving camp is bittersweet - but I like to think that the lingering feeling of being at camp spreads to the rest of my life when I return to my day-to-day. I often find myself taking a picture from the cabin window and installing it as my desktop wallpaper when I return to the daily grind.

Glamping Wedding Perfection!
Almost a year later and our friends and family are STILL talking about our wedding! We had the perfect weekend getaway for our family and friends. Most of the guests were from out of town and we wanted everyone to ...
be able to stay on site where we got married. Lake Fairlee is a special place for my family and I wanted to share that with everyone. It was also nice that there is NO CELL PHONE RECEPTION!
A big thank you to Gretchen and Vanessa for helping us with logistics, our crazy families, and wild group of friends. And the food... this isn't your normal "camp food." Chef Jason did an amazing job with blending our families cultures into what my husband and I love to eat.
Thanks Ohana! XO
