-lodging buyout model so your venue rental IS the lodge stay, one room always held back for getting ready -all packages include 24/7 access to 3 hot tubs, sauna, steam room -a region pricing guide separately lists $6k-$10k for a 120 guest wedding here, which matches their posted package fees before lodging -community kitchen lets you cook your own group meals over the weekend, but the wedding itself needs a licensed caterer or approved private chef, otherwise you can bring in your own vendors
$6k-$10k venue package per a pricing listing, lodging buyout on top
an eventective listing puts it at $6,000-$10,000 for up to 120 guests, with two outdoor ceremony sites and lodging on the property. their own site shows that's the venue package fee alone, with the lodging buyout ($2,500-$5,000 a night, 2 night minimum on weekends) on top
An October wedding here got called nothing short of incredible in one review, with a specific shoutout to a bartender named Mason for making his own cocktail syrups. Another couple said the space is much bigger in person than in photos and loved having the game room and hot tubs available to guests all weekend, not just during the reception. Sounds like the whole property becomes your wedding weekend, not just a single room. The lodge sits up in the mountains outside Durango.
Didn't get a quote for booking logistics beyond the posted nightly rate
site FAQ clarifies you can't just book lodging without the venue, it's a paired package; max 120 guests but they steer you toward 80-95; dining room seats up to 100 for family style meals
Booking logistics stood out to me here since it's structured as a lodge buyout rather than a standalone hall rental. One couple said everything from the planning to the big day was seamless and thanked Rose, Mason, Josh and Neil by name. Another mentioned all the built in activities (hot tubs, game room, outdoor stuff) kept guests entertained the entire weekend, not just during the reception hours. If the weather turns, the ceremony can move to the patio or the lobby, but they never book an indoor ceremony as plan A.
