My husband and I got married June 3rd of this year. The Mountain House Estate is a beautiful location! It has a rustic, romantic feel to it that worked perfect for the theme of our wedding. There are several different backdrops that you can choose from for your ceremony. You can choose to have the mountains, Fir trees, the pond, the barn, or their new oak tree theatre seating in your background. We decided to have the fir trees behind us next to the pond, so there was more of a rustic look in our photographs. Our guest list was about 155 people and there was plenty of room for all of our guests to mingle and enjoy themselves. The owners, Lane and John, were both very informative, helpful, accommodating, and friendly. They were also incredibly knowledgeable of their property. We were amazed at all the remodeling and work that they had put into their estate. They gave us very good advice and gave us ideas on how to get the best use of their property and the accommodations in town. The day of the wedding, Lane and John were around, but weren’t intrusive and it was nice having them check in to make sure everything was going well. We are so glad we decided to get married at the Mountain House Estate.

Wouldn’t have changed a thing!

My husband and I got married at MHE on October 20th, 2018. When we started looking for a venue, we had a few “musts”. MHE fit all those requirements— including the flexibility to choose our vendors and the space to accommodate our guest list. In fact, MHE was the first and ONLY venue we looked at. Once we walked around the beautiful grounds, we knew we had found “the one”. The only issue we ran into was wanting to utilize all the spaces, which was no fault of the venue itself.

As I mentioned, it is not a one stop shop type of place, which is one of the reasons we loved MHE so much. I will admit it added more decisions to the long list of to dos, but more importantly it gave us the ability to personalize every aspect of our day in order to reflect our love.

John and Lane were super helpful and informative in the months leading up to our wedding day. They went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and to offer guidance of what’s worked well in the past. They both take so much pride in their property and have worked so hard to update the estate and property while maintaining its rustic beauty.

To this day, every time we talk to one of our guests, they boast about what a beautiful day it was. We are so glad everyone was able to enjoy it as much as we did! And our photos are our lasting memory of just how perfect everything was.

Thanks again, John and Lane!

When we started our journey to find the perfect reception venue for our 1 year anniversary, this was the first place we visited & I fell in love immediately. I didn't want to jump the gun though, so I reluctantly visited a few other venues, but compared them all to Mountain House Estate. This venue is absolutely picture perfect - it's breathtaking. You have the option to have your event indoors, outdoors or both, as we did. The wedding suite is jaw dropping. There are 2 bedrooms in the main house that you can rent, as well as a newly renovated grooms room in a separate house that sleeps quite a few! The owners, Lane & John, are amazing to work with. They make you feel like family & help in any way they can. They are very flexible & thoughtful. They have a long list of local vendors which comes in handy if you're not from the area. We highly recommend Mountain House Estate to anyone looking for a venue for a wedding, reception, anniversary party, etc. Thank you John & Lane for the most memorable evening!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
