With both indoor and outdoor gathering areas available, your event will feel spacious, flexible, and tailored to your needs.

A Secluded Setting with High-End Amenities

Tucked away in the woods off Route 104, the Lodge provides privacy and tranquility while remaining easily accessible for you and your guests. Inside the 5,000-square-foot Adirondack-style building, guests are welcomed by oversized timbers, natural stonework, and a soaring 2.5-story fireplace, a cozy backdrop for celebrations in any season.

A separate suite is available for hosts who want a private space to prepare or unwind during the event. The Lodge also includes a bar and a full A/V system ready for plug-and-play presentations, slideshows, or music playlists.

Outside, your guests can take in the upstate charm of the property’s wooded trails, open lawns, scenic bridge, and 3-acre pond, all perfect for photos and fresh air.

Host a Variety of Private Events

We celebrate your event your way. We’re here to provide the space and give you access to the Lodge and surrounding outdoor amenities for the full day; the rest is up to you and your vendors.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our guests loved the area and we got so many compliments. We have only received sneak peeks of our photos and they are GORGEOUS. My guests were so pleased with how well the bar ran. You even helped in areas that you didn't have to. I will 100% recommend the lodge to future brides/grooms.

Devon & Cassandra Landschoot

The Lodge at Shadow Hill is the most stunning event venue. The owners could not have been any more accommodating from assisting with electronics so we can present a slide show to using the kitchen facilities ~ to giving us a tour of the gorgeous grounds. This place is a gem and I give it 100 all around! Just beautiful!

Planning a wedding during Covid has definitely had its ups and downs, but having our wedding at The Lodge at Shadow Hill made it all worthwhile.

Andrea Leisten

We had our wedding here and everything turned out perfect. The number one compliment we had from guests was how incredible the venue is. The property is just stunning. It’s so peaceful, secluded, and well kept. Our photographer loved all the different spots to take photos from the bridge, to the pond, apple orchard, wood details, and craftsmanship. So glad we booked here.
