About

On WeddingWire since 2017

Garnet Hill Lodge, located in North River, New York, is a picturesque wedding venue located in the Adirondacks. Between our four-season resort, wide-open spaces, and beautiful lake views of the Adirondack Mountains, our Lodge offers couples a dream setting for the special day. Located in the Adirondack mountains, overlooking Thirteenth Lake, this resort sits just under an hour’s drive from Lake George and is accessible from Albany. We specialize in destination weddings, and the staff is dedicated to providing a truly memorable experience from start to finish.

Facilities and Capacity

The venue can accommodate up to 130 guests for a wedding amongst everything the countryside can offer. An intimate and romantic lodge with spectacular views, spacious lawn, and our cozy yet elegant Log House dining room all combine for an unforgettable wedding weekend. The outdoor lawn, surrounded by beautiful scenery, welcomes ceremonies before returning indoors for a reception in Garnet Hill Lodge’s Loghouse restaurant or remaining outside under our new covered pavilion.

Inside, our Log House dining room offers a cozy setting, incredible views, and a rustic yet elegant backdrop. The stone hearth of the dining room creates an intimate atmosphere that invites guests to relax. There is ample parking available on-site. If you're dreaming of a more intimate celebration, the Lodge welcomes micro-weddings with up to 40 guests and elopements with up to 10 attendees during their off-peak season.

Services Offered

Our on-site event coordinator and team at Garnet Hill Lodge are proud to welcome couples to the privacy of this mountain getaway. They can assist those celebrating throughout all stages of the wedding experience from rehearsal to reception. This includes providing a range of services such as setup and cleanup of the venue and on-going event planning. Furniture rental, including tables, is included with the venue. A special package is provided for micro-weddings and elopements in the Lodge, which includes a complimentary Prosecco toast for all guests. The surrounding area has so much to see and do. The management is happy to provide information about its hiking trails, wild swimming spots, and more. They can even organize fun trips, such as white water rafting, for all the party to enjoy.

Cuisine

With the Log House’s culinary team at their service, guests will be well taken care of throughout the night and weekend. We serve plated, sit-down dinners, delicious food stations, or thoughtful buffets. Our in-house bar team ensures that guests have a great night and a cold drink with which to toast to love.

Accommodation

Couples and their guests are invited to stay the length of the weekend when hosting a wedding at our venue. With outdoor activities and a welcome dinner on Friday, followed by wedding festivities on Saturday and a farewell breakfast on Sunday. Guest rooms in The Loghouse provide cozy accommodations, while the two cottages offer guests more space and privacy during their stay.

History

This venue is one of a few classic Adirondack-style lodges that remain today. The original structure dates back to 1936, and over the years the Lodge has served as a special place for couples and families to gather, reconnect, and enjoy all the Adirondack region has to offer. Located on a gentle hill overlooking a beautiful pristine lake, with miles of private trails and surrounded by forever wild protected state land, the lodge is the focal point of a special place that offers guests and visitors options for activity as well as rest and relaxation.

The perfect venue for an Adirondack wedding weekend!

We had our dream wedding at Garnet Hill Lodge this past September! Besides the stunning views, the only thing more incredible about this venue is Nicole and her staff. Their wedding packages are incredibly easy to understand and customize through their convenient online portal and it was never a problem getting a hold of anyone to answer any questions that came up. It truly was the perfect weekend getaway for us and our guests, who made use of the onsite mountain bike rentals, boat launch and hiking trails. If you're looking to get married in the Adirondacks, I'm not sure a better location exists! We'll be cherishing our memories made here forever and will definitely be back for years to come. Thanks again for everything!

Absolutely Perfect!

Our wedding at Garnet Hill Lodge was truly a standout experience that we'll cherish forever. The staff went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the initial planning stages to the end of the night, they were responsive and accommodating, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The venue itself exuded charm and rustic elegance, setting the perfect backdrop for our celebration.

One aspect that stood out to us was the impeccable service provided by the team. They not only ensured that every detail was taken care of but also treated us and our guests with genuine warmth and hospitality. It truly felt like they were a part of our extended wedding family.

Not only did we personally think it was the best weekend we’ve ever had, but our guests did too. So many of our guests came up to us to tell us it was the best weekend they’ve ever been to! The combination of the beautiful location, absolutely delicious food and care from the staff put this event over the top spectacular.

Overall, we are so grateful to Garnet Hill Lodge and their team for helping us create a wedding day that was nothing short of perfection. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a picturesque and welcoming setting for their special day.

The most magical outdoor wedding in the ADKS

Garnet Hill Lodge is the most spectacular wedding venue in the Adirondacks. The staff were so attentive and kind to both us and our guests. Nicole, who helped us plan was very organized and experienced and helped us make decisions. She was very attentive to detail which helped transform the space into our vision. Garnet Hill Lodge is the perfect combination of higher class cabin and summer camp. The cabin has so many rustic details with a laid-back vibe. We could not have found an Airbnb that slept as many people, and that had the view that the Lodge had. Guests got to enjoy an incredible view of the Adirondacks and 13th lake during the welcome dinner, the ceremony, cocktail hour, bonfires, or their morning breakfast. The lodge had so many amenities including beautiful rooms with a view, a buffet breakfast, lake access with float out docks, kayak and canoe rentals, disc golf, hiking in the Adirondacks, and mountain biking all on site. The food was incredible and the kitchen staff truly out did themselves. They also do incredible job maintaining the property. The grass was so green, and the property was blooming with flowers in summer. The best part is that will be able to return time and time again with our family for a weekend in the mountains at the lodge so we can share the special place with them. We cannot say great things about Garnet Hill.
