From the reviews

We recently celebrated our intimate COVID wedding here. From the start we knew we were in a clean, nice place. It has a very elegant but rustic look. We absolutely loved it! We recommended the Lodge to a friend who was arranging his father’s wedding and he too loved it.

I attended a baby shower at this venue last weekend. While I can't speak to all the logistics, as a guest, the space was beautifully appointed and staff was visible on-hand, even helping me wrangle my two small kids. The bathrooms were clean, with a changing table available in the handicapped stall of the women's room.

I attended a wedding there and the place is just beautiful, clean, spacious. The forest preserve is a perfect setting for photographs. The rustic tone of the main room is charming. Definitely a perfect place for a dream wedding.
