From the reviews

What an amazing venue for a wedding! We had approximately 85 guests. My family spent several days at the turtle house for my daughters wedding. The hosts are amazing! They worked so hard to make sure our outdoor wedding, on a very rainy weekend, went off beautifully.

This cabin is so beautiful & spacious! The views are INCREDIBLE! The stars are so visible at night. Its about 20 minutes from the border of Montana! We stayed for 3 nights and I didn’t want to leave. I absolutely recommend staying here & having a wedding here.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Mar 2025

Attended a wedding at the turtle house and it was stunning! The most beautiful place to have a wedding. The management was so easy to work with, Janna is very quick to accommodate our requests making the whole experience feel effortless. Highly recommend for a beautiful, stress-free celebration!

★★★★★ — Angelika, Apr 2025

Got married here a year and a half ago! Such a beautiful venue, it was everything I dreamed of! Gorgeous sights and a big area as well. We had a little over 250 people and everyone fit well! They had a park for the kids as well! Everyone had so much fun and enjoyed the breath taking views. Wish I could go back!

Getting married at The Turtle House

The Turtle House comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at The Turtle House

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Turtle House — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
