A 5 minute drive from the wedding venue, Belknap hot springs offers a main lodge, several cabins, and tent/RV sites along the river. We have never stayed in the main lodge rooms so can't vouch for them (though we've heard they are run down and cost just about as much as a cabin rental so might as well go the cabin route). Jamie and I have stayed in several of the cabins and have really enjoyed the experience - some are dog friendly too!


There are two pools - one large one along the river and a smaller, more intimate one about a 5 minute walk away that is only available to overnight guests (vs. day passes). Both are natural hot springs and you can find the mineral contents on their website. The natural water is sustained within man-made pools.


There is also a secret garden you can wander around the grounds and find, as well as a small little trail along part of the river.


You can also purchase a day pass only if you are not staying on the grounds - these are $10 for 1 hour.

Located 0.6 miles from the wedding venue, these cabins sit nestled along the Mckenzie River and would be a great lodging option. We have never personally stayed here but the website/photos look nice.


Constructed in 2006, these retreat cabins feature two bedrooms, two baths, screened in river-view porches, fully equipped kitchens, hardwood floors, fireplaces, satellite TVs, central heating and air conditioning.

A 3 minute drive from the wedding venue, this is the nicest/most modern option around the area. There are two cabins that sleep up to 4, one that sleeps up to 6, and one that sleeps up to 16. We have never stayed here but their website is beautiful! It looks like this company rents out a lot of outdoor gear as well.

McKenzie River Resort

Located 10 minutes from the wedding venue, Mckenzie River Resort is located in Blue River and is another overflow option. We have never stayed here personally, and I believe this photo is their main lodge/check in area.


According to their website, they have 3 bedroom cabins and 6 bedroom lodges. I could not find photos of their lodging options so something to keep in mind.

Caddisfly Resort

Located 0.5 miles from the wedding venue, these three cabins are owned/operated by a local family. Built in the 1950's, these cabins are a little outdated based on photos from their website. But a close and simple option!

Mckenzie General Store & Obsidian Grill. This is a 3 minute drive away and a GREAT little place to eat.

This is a food truck located near the river at Belknap hotsprings. It was truly one of the worst culinary experiences I've ever had. 0/10 would not recommend.
