You’ll be able to book online using the code or call Pinecrest Chalet directly to make your reservation. Q: Are the cabins private or shared? A: Most cabins and chalets are private and vary in size, with options that can sleep 2 to 10+ people. If you're coming with friends or family, consider sharing a larger chalet!

Please contact the Chalet directly to check on availability. Q: Can I stay somewhere else nearby? A: Absolutely!

Once on-site, Pinecrest Chalet will have staff assisting with golf carts to help guests get around during the event. Q: What is the dress code? A: [Insert your answer here — for example: "Mountain formal" or "Dressy casual — keep in mind we’ll be outdoors, so choose shoes that are comfortable for walking on grass and gravel."] Q: Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors? A: Both the ceremony and reception will take place outdoors at the Creekside Amphitheater. We recommend bringing a light jacket or shawl as it can get chilly in the evenings. Q: What’s the weather like in Pinecrest? A: June in Pinecrest is usually sunny and mild during the day, with average highs in the 70s and cooler evenings in the 50s.

Our wedding is kid-friendly, and there’s plenty for little ones to enjoy at Pinecrest. Q: What is there to do nearby? A: Tons! Pinecrest Lake is just minutes away and offers hiking, swimming, boat rentals, and more. Check out our “Things to Do” page for ideas! Q: Will food be provided during the weekend?
