The Lodge & Waterfall Garden: Private Weddings & Events

Welcome to the Heart of Williams Tree Farm

Our Lodge and Grounds have come a long way from their humble beginnings. We’ve lovingly transformed our building, giving it a charming log cabin exterior and a cozy post-and-beam interior. What makes our Lodge extra special is that almost all the wood used was grown and harvested right here on our farm. It’s truly a piece of us, and we’re delighted to share it with you.

When you step inside, you’ll be greeted by the warmth of a beautiful fieldstone fireplace. The Lodge is filled with handmade wooden tables, soft lights strung through grapevine, and touches of nature all around. Outside, there’s plenty of space for lawn games, a peaceful patio, and winding natural trails that invite you to explore and relax. It’s the perfect setting for your private celebration.

For over 78 years, we’ve had the joy of being a part of so many cherished Christmas memories, weddings, and family celebrations. We’re deeply honored that you’re considering us for your special day. It’s a privilege we don’t take lightly.
