The Lodge was a beautiful place and created a beautiful atmosphere for me and my husbands big day! The chapel was adorable, the reception lodge was a great space as well. Communications with the venue owner and manager was quick and transparent. They also recommended a wedding coordinator who helped execute all of our visions the day of. If you are looking for a great space, with on site lodging (super cute cottages to fit everyone!), with beautiful nature to complement, I say look no further!
Jeff and Amy helped create my fairy tale wedding come true! The chapel was beyond beautiful! Having on site lodging was an extra bonus! We enjoyed our stay in the honeymoon suite and can’t wait to return!
The Lodge was absolutely perfect! Jeff and Amy make things so easy and effortless! I really can’t say enough about our experience! Then the fact that everyone can stay right there at the cottages and no one has to drive, makes it even better!
Any questions?
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with
The Lodge. From the moment we got in contact with them to the wedding itself, they were friendly, helpful, clear, straight forward and everything was done with an extraordinary level of care and detail. The venue itself is beautiful, and the brand new chapel was a surprise that was only built after we actually booked! Both Jeff and Amy were excellent communicators and I believe what we got for the price was unparalleled. This was the only venue we ever looked at because it was everything we wanted- the main lodge, the chapel, the grounds and the cottages on the property- all gave us the wedding of our dreams! THANK YOU!
My husband and I had the BEST experience with The Lodge. The staff are so friendly and always available to answer your questions and help out. The location is absolutely beautiful. Our favorite part of this venue was getting to have everyone stay on site with us. I can't recommend this venue enough!
Our wedding was November 4th at the lodge and it by far surpassed my expectations. Jeff and Amy Mazurek exceeded our expectations in every single way. It was a fairytale wedding from the incredible chapel to the beautiful reception. I highly recommend the Lodge at country Inn cottages.
I can't say enough about Jeff Mazurek and Amy Mazurek with The Lodge at Country Inn and Cottages. Amy and Jeff helped to made our daughters wedding an incredible experience from start to finish. The location and venue are nothing short of amazing! There were enough cabins available on the property to allow over 120 of our guests to actually stay on-site for the entire weekend.
From the glass chapel, reception hall with a Bose sound system and an outdoor patio... they had everything we needed to make the Carello-Mardaga wedding and reception an event to remember. It's days later and we are still getting calls and emails from guests that can't stop talking about it. Go down to Fredericksburg and visit this place. You'll be glad you did!
I'll give 5 more stars because the 5 above just isn't enough... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Lodge is the perfect Hill Country wedding venue where your guests can stay and enjoy the property and the beauty of Fredericksburg. We immediately fell in love with the venue and knew it would be perfect for our wedding weekend. Jeff and Amy were so helpful and kind during the planning process I highly recommend choosing The Lodge. All of our family and guests said our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to and it’s a weekend we will remember forever!
Response from the Vendor on 11/08/2023
Thank you so much Christine. We appreciate you choosing the Lodge for your big day! Please come back as see us.
Jeff and Amy were great! This venue was exactly what we were looking for!
Fantastic venue!
The property and cabins are beautiful. Loved that there were animals on property and fireplaces in the cabins. Would definitely visit again.
The Lodge at Country Inn Cottages was a perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. The owners were very helpful and very easy to work with. Always answered our questions promptly. Having cabins available for our guest to stay on site was perfect. The cabins were very well furnished and lovely. Highly recommend this venue!!
If you are looking for a venue to create your own style and choose your own vendors then this is the place. Our family and friends stayed onsite in the cutest of cabins. We opted for an outside wedding and cocktail hour and then seated dinner and dance inside. It was the most spectacular, romantic day - everything we dreamed of. Jeff and Amy are super easy to work with and communication was never an issues.
A beautiful venue with great accommodations for the guests! Had the best time at The Lodge!
I really liked that we were able to decorate the afternoon before the wedding. It would have been nice to be able to get in there prior to 3 pm, (as per their policy) but we were able to get everything done because we had so many sweet people there to help us out. The owner explained that because of liability issues he could no longer have the elk on premises. However, my son bought a lot of corn in order to have them in the background for wedding photos and was not notified about the change prior to his arrival. That was one of the selling points for both bride and groom. They both wanted the wildlife in the background. My husband and I stayed in cabin 5. I loved how the whole family could congregate in the large living room. I think with a few updates, this could be an awesome cabin. New floors-the carpeting throughout was old and needed replacing. The bathroom connected to the master has NO privacy because the accordion door isn't wide enough to cover from side to side-no longer functioning correctly. Considering the comfy bed faced the toilet...
I liked the wood burning stove in the living room-it was cold outside on our visit. All in all, it was a great time for everyone.
Good weekend Room was perfect a cozy.. loved that it was pet friendly ❤️we did have a problem with getting hot water for our showers ..
We really enjoyed our stay during Scott and Angie Persyn’s wedding ! Cabins are lovely , and perfectly accommodating . Loved sitting on porch and watching all the deer.
Rehearsal was cold , but setup so perfectly so we all stayed warm!
Wedding venue was so beautiful , inside and outside . One of the most beautiful weddings ever !
We had the best weekend ever at Angela and Scott’s wedding at The Lodge and Country Inn Cottages. The cottages are super cute and very well appointed. The venue itself is beautiful! If you are looking for a gorgeous sprawling space all to yourselves in Texas Hill Country, this is the venue for you!
The venue was awesome! Loved the lay out and accessibility. Everything was clean and ready on arrival. The reception hall was beautiful! Great wedding venue! Angela and Scott had the wedding of their dreams!
The minute we found this venue we had high hopes that it would be exactly what we wanted to fulfill our wedding weekend dreams. After our tour with Jeff, there was no doubt this was where we wanted to get married. Amy made the entire process so easy and seamless. The ladies who helped book all our cabins (Jenette was amazing) were professional, helpful and kind. We personally booked 5 cabins to accommodate all our vendors and our needs and every single one was perfect. Our Welcome Dinner was held at the cabins under a huge tent and the night was amazing. Our overall wedding was absolutely perfect. The bartenders provided by the venue were awesome. Edward even helped bartend at our Welcome Dinner the night before. The only hiccup we had was the outdoor sound system struggling during the ceremony so if your DJ has the ability to provide the mic, let them. None of that was a deal breaker, we were able to see past it because it was a windy day. We can’t begin to thank Amy enough for making the whole process so simple. She was professional, punctual and courteous. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy some time without all the wedding events going on at the same time!!!
We absolutely loved this Venue. The Cottages were so cute and cozy. Loved everything about them. The wedding venue was absolutely perfect. Loved not having to drive anywhere. The property and the deer were so amazing. I loved being so close to everyone in the wedding party and guests.
Wonderful place to have a wedding! Amy and Jeff are quick to respond and helpful. Stay and have wedding at the same location is a bonus!
The Lodge at Country Inn Cottages was the perfect setting for my dream wedding. It was easily the best day and this place played a huge role in that. The honeymoon cabin was amazing too!!!!
Wonderful venue! Beautiful, elegant and rustic. Amy and Jeff were easy to work with. They were quick to respond and helped in any way they could. The venue is not only beautiful inside and out but the cabins were too. It was perfect to have everything at one location for us and the guests! We also found the cost to be very reasonable in comparison to other venues. Highly recommend!
This venue was the perfect back drop for "the best day ever"! The lodge is beautiful as is without much need for extra decor if you so choose. It's simple, rustic, and elegant. The owner was helpful and answered ALL questions leading up to the wedding. The sound system is so good we considered skipping the DJ. The owner was present during the day of the wedding making sure bathrooms, windows, and patios were clean. We were able to setup the day before the wedding which was a big plus! The bridal and groom's suites were perfect for the wedding party to get ready and store their things throughout the day.
We got married at The Lodge on 12/17/22 and it was the most perfect venue. All of our guests loved the classic Hill Country vibe and Amy and Jeff were so great to work with and made the entire experience perfect. They responded so fast to all of our questions (we had a lot but they were so patient) and having the cabins on site for our guests to stay at made the weekend so much more special so that no one had to drink and drive. It was the perfect wedding and The Lodge played a big part in that, I couldn't recommend them more.
We had our wedding at The Lodge at Country Inn Cottages. It was absolutely perfect! 100 of our closest friends and family stayed on property with us and it could not have been a more perfect weekend. There is nothing better than looking out your window to see everyone you love in the same place. The only sad part was when everyone left! We will stay there for years to come and can't wait to plan a trip to stay there again. There are a million great things to say about the property because Jeff made it perfect for us and everyone else staying there. There isn't another place like it and we had countless people say "How did you find this place??" "This place is amazing!" "We're already planning a trip to come back and stay here!" You can't find a better place and we are lucky we found the perfect place for the best day.
I couldn’t be more happy with this venue!! All of my guests also really enjoyed it! Amy and Jeff were so attentive to all of our questions and needs. I was planning this wedding while living 5 hours away so any time i needed any question answered they emailed back so quickly. day of was so stress free. being able to have my guests stay at the venue is priceless and took off so much stress about everyone getting home safely. the bar tenders brandon and cheree that were provided through the venue were so attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. I am so thankful for the whole team. it was a perfect day.
The Lodge at Country Inn and Cottages has a very special feel to it! Rustic, yet classy at the same time. Beautiful sunrises, wildlife, and tastefully decorated cottages leave guests with beautiful memories. We had a wonderful experience.
My brother had his wedding here at the lodge and it was an unforgettable weekend. We stayed the weekend in the cabins that the lodge offers and you were able to see everything that the 200 acre ranch has to offer. Seeing deer on a daily basis was awesome, they even had some elk that you can walk up to and take some really cool pictures of or with! My overall experience was amazing, glad I was able to experience it.
My brother had his weeding here. The Lodges and Venue were incredible. The cabins were very welcoming. I was able to experience my stay in November so it was cold and made it so much better. The views were amazing!
My sister and her husband got married here in November of 2019, and when I tell you it was the nicest event it could have been, believe me. The vendor of the The Lodge was very punctual and attending to whatever the wedding party needed, and was very accommodating to all the guests that stayed in the nearby cottages. The venue speaks for itself with it’s natural beauty and wild exotics roaming the ranch freely. I highly recommend for any special event being planned.
My brother got married here and was so beautiful! Loved the country. Would definitely recommend this vendor to friends and family!
This place was absolutely magical!!!! Beautiful 200 acre ranch with lots of wildlife. I loved the fact that when you book with this venue they block the entire ranch and their 35 cottages and rooms available to the public. This allows you to book the entire ranch for your guest or have your guest reserve their cabin or cottage of choice. I loved this because I knew my guest would be safe as soon as the reception was over. No driving anywhere if they are staying on the ranch. Great customer service and always in communication.
We could not have been happier with this venue. Between our closest family and friends staying in the cottages, to the gorgeous hill country views at the ceremony, to the beautiful reception lodge, we had the absolute best wedding day ever. Amy and Jeff were both very helpful with answering any questions we had and were always very quick to respond. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue.
We are so glad we picked The Lodge as our wedding venue. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Amy and Jeff are so sweet and quick to respond to any questions we had. There are so many wonderful things about this venue but I absolutely loved being able to set up the venue the day before, such a blessing!!! This reduced so much stress on me and my family and allowed us to actually be able to enjoy the wedding day! I cannot imagine doing it any other way now, I think more venues should offer this! My husband's family and a majority of our guests live out of state so having the cabins on-site allowed everyone a chance to meet, relax and really soak everything in. Being pet-friendly was also a huge plus for us!! Everyone is still raving about how much they loved the venue and the cottages. From beginning to end our experience was wonderful and I would recommend this venue a 100x over.
Loved every moment at The Lodge. Such an amazing owner and staff along with a gorgeous venue. All of our family and friends loved being able to roam and interact with wild life. The Belted Galloway Bull was definitely the main character he was in absolutely everyone photos including or ceremony lol. Highly recommend stay and having your special day here! It was absolutely PERFECT!
The Lodge was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. It was a classy, elegant, rustic affair. Our family and friends filled the cabins and we never had to leave. Jeff and Amy were easy to work with and very responsive. Everything was perfect. Our friends and family are still talking about what a beautiful wedding it was. The elk and wildlife is such an added perk that made it even more special. It was absolutely the best weekend EVER! Don’t think twice- have your wedding at the lodge! You won’t regret it.
Working with the family at the Lodge was totally stress free and they have a beautiful venue inside and out! The patio is a perfect area for an outdoor ceremony and the inside is perfect for your reception. I am so glad we picked this as our venue and look forward to many more trips back to the ranch! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place to WOW your guest!
The Lodge at Country Inn Cottages is a truly beautiful and unique wedding venue! We had a lot of family coming in from out of state, and it was important to us to find a venue that also provided lodging. All of our guests that stayed on property absolutely raved about the cabins and how nice it was to see the wildlife in the Texas hill country.
Most of our reception decor was simple and DIY, but the venue itself is so gorgeous it made everything come together beautifully. Additionally, Amy and Jeff were very pleasant to work with. Correspondence was quick and professional, providing us with a seamless planning experience. I would highly recommend choosing The Lodge at Country Inn Cottages for your wedding, family reunion, or even just a weekend getaway!
This place is incredible and there aren't enough words to express that feeling. Being able to have family and friends stay onsite at the cottages and celebrate the entire weekend with them was amazing. Elk, Axis, Deer, mini horse, etc., roaming the entire property made every guest enjoy their stay even more, especially when it's the first time seeing these animals! The boys went skeet shooting morning of the wedding which was a great start to the day for my husband and his guys. Then to Amy and Jeff. Wow, what incredible and dedicated people. So easy to work with, ensure we had everything and more on our day, and that everything went smoothly. It's SO true when they say you get the entire weekend, keys under seat, and never have to get behind the wheel. We wouldn't have changed anything that weekend and appreciate the Lodge so much!!
This venue was perfect for our wedding. Our guests loved all of the cabins and being able to stay near everybody. I also love how flexible they were about letting us drop things off beforehand and getting setup early. We rented all of the cabins so had events on the large patios and it was perfect for that. Jeff and Amy were very helpful every step of the way.
My only negative comment is regarding the string lights on the outdoor patio - these are not included in the rental price.
This venue is everything you could want and more. First of all, it is absolutely gorgeous!! With Elk roaming the property, on-site cabins, stunning views and more, The Lodge was the perfect backdrop for our hill country wedding. Then we get to Amy and Jeff. They were spectacular throughout the entire planning process. They were always prompt with responses and answered any questions we had. They were willing to meet at the property multiple times in order for myself and our coordinator to fully plan and prep for the wedding. We booked all the cabins for friends and family, having everyone on-site made it so special. Friday night we had Dave Fenley come out to play some music, which allowed those from out of town to begin celebrating Friday night. Saturday, we had our ceremony on the site right next to the reception hall. It was so convenient being right there. We had 257 guests and there was plenty of space! Sunday, we used the breakfast vouchers to buy breakfast for our guests. Myself and my new husband passed out kolaches and pastries to our guest on their way out. It was so special getting to see everyone Friday, Saturday And Sunday. The weekend was absolutely flawless and everything I had dreamed of and then some. I highly highly recommend The Lodge for any bride-to-be!!
This venue is absolutely incredible. The owner is so easy to work with and the location and views are top-notch.
The Lodge and Country Inn & Cottages were the perfect setting for my daughter's wedding weekend! Amy and Jeff were amazing to work with. They were always to responsive to my questions and concerns especially during this difficult time with COVID-19. The Lodge was so beautiful inside and outside. The landscape was the perfect backdrop for the wedding. We only needed minimal decorations. We really appreciated the time provided to set up and clean up for the wedding. Most venues are not as generous with time allotted for this. Our guests enjoyed all the amenities and rustic charm of the cottages. The Homestead House and patio area were the perfect place for our family and friends to gather for drinks, lawn games and hanging out. The deer, elk, and cows were welcomed special guests and everyone enjoyed feeding them. The cottages were impeccably clean and comfy. The bride and groom wanted a "family-reunion style" wedding weekend and this Texas Hill Country ranch provided that an so much more. Janette and her team were so helpful and assisted all our guests in choosing the perfect cottage for their families. The meal vouchers were great and we enjoyed using them at Andy's Cafe and The Old German Bakery to provide breakfast for all our guests. Planning a destination wedding from out of town is always challenging but the folks at The Lodge and Country Inn & Cottages made it so easy. It is absolutely true what they say "come as strangers, leave as friends". We are looking forward to staying again as a family to celebrate many anniversaries with the happy couple.
We got married here this June and had an awesome experience. They were amazing to work with through all of the Covid struggles, and made sure we had the weekend that we always wanted. Beautiful venue that I would recommend to anyone looking to host a large get together, or a simple weekend getaway.
Talk about the WHOLE package! The Lodge is the perfect place to say "I do"! It's elegance and sweet country charm sum it up beautifully. From the gorgeous main lodge to the vast property filled with Axis and Elk , our family and friends loved staying in the adorable cottages close to all the action. It was like our own private ranch for the weekend. My Husband and friends even got to shoot sporting clays on the morning of our wedding!
Amy and Jeff really know how to take care of their clients! We were wowed by their professionalism, attention to our needs, and the fact that they made sure it was by far the BEST experience we could've ever dreamed.
Our family and friends are still talking about our special weekend and can't wait to go back! We clearly LOVED our experience!! Thank you Amy and Jeff!! :)

Lyndsey-
Thank you so much for your review. You all were so easy to work with and we appreciated getting to be a part of your big day! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness..
Drove up to this beautiful place in the hills of Texas to attend Tony and Carrie’s wedding! Absolutely recommend!
I am the sister of the bride. Tony and Carrie Russo had the best wedding ever. So beautiful there.
I was the Matron if Honor in the Fulford wedding. Most of the bridal party/family/friends/guests came from out of town and The Lodge made us all feel comfy and comfortable! Accommodations were amazing with the onsite cabins available for renting. The venue was amazing with outdoor and indoor options. We were able to witness the beautiful wildlife every day we were there! They had the perfect setup for food, a beautiful bar for drinks, and plenty of room for a DJ! Bridal and groom suites were great and catered perfectly to the ladies vs men. I would recommend this venue and give it a 10/10.
I was a Bridesmaid for the Fulford’s wedding in the spring. It was a gorgeous venue! The cabins were an added bonus to allow for convenience and comfort. So happy with all of It!
This was the perfect place for a wedding!! It was stunning inside and out, and I loved the cabins that were available for family/wedding party to stay in. Such a perfect venue all around!
I was a bridesmaid in the Fulford wedding here at The Lodge at Country In Cottages. The day could not have been more perfect! The Lodge is absolutely breathtaking both inside and out. There is wildlife outdoors, beautiful scenery, and an incredible reception area. The venue made sure everything went flawlessly and was a night to remember!
We absolutely loved our time at the lodge! Our cottage was incredibly clean and very obviously new with decor perfectly fit to the experience of the weekend and the property as a whole. Thanks Macy and Joel! Wish more of our friends would get married here!
So I'm not from Texas, and I was bringing in family and friends from other parts of the country and world. This venue just made it so easy to get everyone in the same place to enjoy and take advantage of the short time we were all together. It was great...and that doesn't count all the elk and deer around! We are taking photos and BAM, massive elk just chilling fat in tha background. Or the awesome bbq we had, or the laughs we had in the big house, or the fire pits and cookouts etc. Everyone who visited from abroad loved it! They were all like "This is Texas? I thought Texas was desert and horses and snakes!" Naw, this spot here is Texas...eventhough I'm sure there were some snakes somewhere if we looked. We didn't look though, so all was good. Most importantly, the wife loved it and wouldn't have changed a thing, so therefore I wouldn't have changed a thing. 10 outta 10, would do again...well... hopefully that doesn't come up, but so far so good, which I contribute 100% to starting it all off on the right foot - by doing our wedding here, at The Lodge.
The Lodge was amazing! I’m from Texas and my husband is from Canada so booking The Lodge and be able to offer our guest accommodations was a no-brainer for us! Our guests loved the location and loved seeing the animals! We were even able to bring our dog and have her be in the wedding. I highly recommend this venue and we looked at several in the area!
Great venue! Used for my daughter’s wedding and everything was perfect. Jeff, Amy, and the rest of the staff went above and beyond. Highly recommend.
Being able to have the entire wedding and stay there was amazing.
Perfect place to have a wedding! As the groom, I could not have asked for more.
The most awesome wedding venue
This was the first venue we looked at and we booked immediately
Having our family and friends there with us from Thurs-Sun was perfect. My daughters wedding was perfect in every way. Thank you Jeff and Amy
We visited many other venues in town and from the moment we were driving through that gate I think we knew that this place was it! The lodge was beautiful and extravagant! Jeff and Amy were so easy to work with! From the initial showing all the way through the day of the wedding! Everything went so smoothly because they have everything down pact! These folks really know what they are doing and simplify everything for you. They are extremely flexible with options which we loved! They have many sights on the ranch where you can do your photo shoot, the cabins on the ranch are extremely beautiful! Our families were so excited to even be at the ranch. It is a awesome experience to have the reception and you are sleeping at a walking distance away! You feel secure that your family will get home safe! It’s awesome!
The Lodge is the most perfect place to have your wedding and reception. The owner is flexible and is always there to help you out with anything you need or any questions you may have. I just had my wedding and I want to get married all over again because it was the most perfect experience thanks to The Lodge. I have always imagined what my dream wedding would be and the reality was so much better than I imagined. The venue was straight out of a hallmark movie and so beautiful. Our guests had such an awesome experience that they can't wait to go back. They are still complimenting the wedding and venue on how perfect and beautiful it was. I would totally recommend this venue for any wedding or event. Thanks to the Lodge I had the most memorable and perfect wedding.
Amazing venue! Our wedding was more than we could have ever dreamed of thanks to Amy, Jeff, and staff. First and foremost, the venue is amazing. The scenery is breathtaking and having all of your closest family and friends in one place for a whole weekend is what my husband and I were the most thankful for. Jeff and Amy went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. From arranging skeet shooting to coordinating bartenders and security, they did an awesome job. We would not have changed a single thing about the venue/wedding and highly recommend The Lodge! You will not regret your decision.
The Lodge was such a beautiful venue! We had guests from 22 different states attend our wedding and it was really important to us that we had a place with a "Texas" feel and also somewhere that guest could stay on site and not have to drive after partying and The Lodge delivered! I received more compliments on the venue than almost any other part of the wedding! Jeff and Amy were great to work with and everyone LOVED feeding the elk! All around we had a wonderful experience at The Lodge and would recommend it to anyone!
I was at a wedding for @Lauren and @Alex and it was a lovely place to be at for a wedding. The cabins were very clean and tidy and the beds were very comfortable. Charming place for a wedding.
I enjoyed an absolutely fantastic wedding here for @Lauren and @Alex. The whole venue was very charming and a fantastic place for a wedding.
I would not change one thing about the Lodge and would book this venue 1,000 times over. We are still getting complements on how beautiful the venue is and how unique it was to have family and friends all on the property for the whole weekend at the cottages. We even had all the guys do a skeet shoot the morning of the wedding on the grounds. Amy and Jeff were so amazing to work with, were so flexible and made everything go so smooth. I LOVED that you have the venue all weekend so you can sit back and enjoy the whole wedding day without having to worry about set up or tear down since you can do that Saturday and Sunday. If you want a whole stress free wedding weekend filled with family and friends you have to book with Amy and Jeff, you will have the most amazing wedding at the Lodge!

I have already recommended The Lodge at Country Inn Cottages for the beauty of the venue, the attention to detail by staff, and we loved having our family & friends on location in the cottages for the wedding weekend. It was just perfect.
The Lodge without a doubt was perfect for us! The ease of access to the whole property was amazing! You could simply go without decorating this place and it would still be beautiful enough to hold your wedding.
My nephew and new wife got married at the The Lodge on 2/23/19. Many of the family from both sides stayed on the property which gave it a very intimate and loving atmosphere. The cocktail hour was delightful out on the courtyard as the bride and groom were able to revel in the beauty of the reception area. The elk on the property are friendly as well as amusing. We all got some great pictures with them and the bride and groom were able to get some amazing photos with the elk. The facility is run by very kind and caring people who only want you to have a great event.
The Lodge at Country Inn and Cottages was the dream wedding for my son and his future wife. The minute we stepped into this beautiful venue we knew this would be the place where they would unite their marriage.
Jeff and Amy were very gracious and helped guide us through all the difficult wedding preparations and planning. Not only was the venue beautiful but we also had the convenience of staying in their onsite cabins.
I would highly recommend The Lodge for anyone seeking a gorgeous and convenient venue to hold their special day.

The Lodge personnel were helpful, courteous, and very friendly. I’m not sure what I was expecting for the facility, but it surpassed any thoughts I may have had. Having everything on one site was wonderful especially for out of towners. The cabins were charming and comfortable. Grazing elk we could watch and feed added to the Texas country feel. Watching the Lodge be transformed from a large space to an elegant intimate wedding setting and then transformed again to an elegant dinner reception was amazing. The accommodations for the bride and bridal party and the groom and groomsmen were large enough so there was room for all the preparations for both parties. It was a wonderful setting for my granddaughter’s wedding.
Firstly, the Lodge is a stunning place to see. Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, this venue is a cut above the rest in terms of its natural beauty and the eloquent yet cozy facilities. There is certainly a rustic hill country flair to everything, but it's not done in a way that in any way diminishes the cleanness and niceness of the design. It adds warmth and authenticity without taking away the ability to be formal and celebratory. I very much appreciated the versatility of the space; there is very little you could imagine that you also could not practically achieve as far as layouts and decorations.
The staff made no small effort to ensure that my wedding day was blissfully perfect. From the coordination of the temperature in the room to the sound system and layout of the space, they wanted to make sure it was exactly what my beloved and I wanted. The cottages themselves were visually impressive, comfortable, and so very convenient. They allowed us to spend precious time with family members that I otherwise would not have gotten. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be married in such a superb venue.
I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing venue! Not only is it stunning (the triple high ceiling, the natural light and stone and woodwork are all to die for, inside and out) but they know their stuff here. From the very beginning of the tour I felt like the place was run by such competent and caring people, that have done a million weddings and have so much experience, but see the unique and beautiful aspects of each couple and strive to make the venue reflect those beautiful differences. They had the little details that make your day either amazing or a nightmare down to a science, from the exact temperatures to keep the brides and grooms suites (yes they keep them at different temperatures.. like... how many weddings do you have to do to know that brides prefer between 71 and 69 and grooms and groomsmen are comfortable on the lower end? ) and how to adjust the ceremony / reception temperature based on time of day, number of people etc. Like, they took care of all the little things, that is just one example, that you really could never even think to be concerned about until you are sweating waiting to walk down the isle and its just too late to do anything about it!
We did something rather unique for my wedding, we had the ceremony and the reception in the same space and flipped the room in between while the guests were at cocktail hour. Now that doesn't sound like too big of a deal, but you should probably know that I had the space filled with pews and we basically transformed it into a high ceilinged chapel/cathedral complete with stained glass window outlines and all. So it was quite an ordeal to work out the logistics of the flip and setting up the entire reception but they didn't bat an eye, just worked with my planner to figure out how to do it and make the bride happy.
The grounds that the venue is located on are stunning, we were able to take the most breathtaking pictures without having to walk off the property, and the outdoor dance floor is lit up at night and is simply picturesque. Everything is designed to be photogenic and allow for natural flow of guests, even with the ridiculous and high maintenance room flip that I demanded since I did not want to get married outside in the taxes heat in August! (Although you could do it, looking back the day was cool enough and the outdoor ceremony space is shaded).
We booked out the whole property, all the cabins and everything, for the weekend and my whole family (like 100 people y'all) and the whole wedding party was able to stay on site, which was wonderful for our out of town guests to not have to worry about driving back and forth from a hotel to the site. The cabins were just a short walk down a hill from the venue. Our wedding day was simply magical, and the wonderful owners and staff at The Lodge contributed greatly to making our wedding day the best day of our lives, you couldn't be in better hands.
Amazing venue! The Inn at Country Cottages has a rustic elegance; vaulted ceilings, rustic beams and chandeliers provide a warm atmosphere within a large space. The staff is super helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. There are a number of options for indoor or outdoor weddings in a serene and wonderfully romantic setting. There is a lovely covered entrance for the practical necessities of delivering items during the rain and a great location for a send-off for the newlyweds.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this venue! We were a bit high maintenance and they (Amy, Jeff and the staff at the Cottages) were so patient with us from start to finish. Our event could not have been any better! The bridal party and many guests stayed onsite at the Cottages and the whole weekend was amazing! Our guests still rave about it.
If you are looking for an all in one, look no farther! Lodging, event space and gorgeous scenery ❤️ They are amazing to work with and worth every penny! My wedding was a dream on Jan 26, 2019!! Thank you Jeff and Amy!!
Wonderful place to have my daughter’s wedding! Amy and Jeff Mazurek were great to work with and made planning a destination wedding easy! Our friends and family loved staying there on site and we were also able to visit longer. Beautiful venue and hill country scenery with Elk roaming right on the property! Best weekend ever!
Everything went as perfect as it could have! Owners provided everything we needed and were always responsive.
Having the ability to house everyone on site in cozy cabins really adds to the family atmosphere.
Would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone!
My son and my lovely new daughter-in-law‘s wedding was held here in December 2018. It was a fairytale wedding weekend in every way and the Lodge provided the beautiful background setting for all our activities! From our rehearsal dinner on Friday to the guys skeet shoot Saturday to the fabulous wedding Saturday night! Jeff and Amy were super accommodating and helpful in every way! Our families loved staying in the awesome cabins. It was a perfect weekend ❤️
Absolutely beautiful venue! Could not have asked for a better location to have our daughters wedding. The cabins were awesome and the location of the cabins allowed everyone to spend so much time together. Jeff and all of his staff were also amazing. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience for my daughter and our family .
Comfortable with beautiful views!

I have already given their name to others looking for a venue.
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was very comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. The wildlife all around us was awesome!!
I loved the whole experience. The venue was the perfect place for my son's wedding. It was gorgeous and the cottages were great. I loved that no one had to drive somewhere drunk.
Beautiful venue!
Beautiful setting, great space and the staff was always helpful.
Jeff at The Lodge was great to work with. I am the mother of the groom, so I had lots of questions regarding a rehearsal dinner on the patio. The vendors they suggested were quite good; the events flowed like clockwork; the day of coordinator from the Lodge nailed everything: chair and table rentals, caterer, flowers. Jeff suggested the barrel lighting package, which made the atmosphere for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception so elegant. Jeff was around in case we needed anything like extension cords. It was a fabulous wedding. Thank you, Jeff

This venue is stunning!!! The whole weekend was absolutely perfect! The property is large enough to accommodate a big group of people, making the weekend easy and convenient. The staff is extremely professional and worked nonstop to ensure everything was done in a timely manner. The owners are very understanding and truly help make your event memorable. The ceremony was outside on the patio, and the reception followed inside. Both spaces are beautiful and allowed for a fun, lively atmosphere. The bridal suite was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in, and allowed for great photo opportunities. I highly recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding or another celebration.
We looked at the lodge as our first venue when we were deciding on venues and it was also the last venue we looked at. We fell in love immediately! Jeff and Amy were so easy to work with and so nice and acoomodating to all of our needs. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend them!
