We had an absolutely beautiful wedding at the waterfall lodge. We couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Anna and Tyler are amazing and go above and beyond. Plus, their dog Sammy is a very good boy. We hope to stay there again soon.

★★★★★ — Erin, Aug 2021

Wonderful family owned place tucked away in the mountains of Cloudcroft New Mexico. Wonderful views, peaceful, and they went out of their way to make my daughter’s wedding a beautiful event!!

Getting married at The Waterfall Lodge

The Waterfall Lodge 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.
