About

Perfectly located in the heart of picturesque central Pennsylvania farmland sits The BigMount Lodge, a rustic yet uniquely elegant lodge-style event venue surrounded by lush, verdant grounds and breathtaking views. Perched on approximately 125 acres, this hidden oasis marries the charm of the historic lodge, barn and pastoral landscape with modern luxuries and amenities. This one of a kind event space newly built in 2019 offers you endless possibilities.

THE BARN

The BigMount Lodge is committed to excellence both as a stunning venue space and with the services we provide. Built by the Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the newly reconstructed barn features exposed beams, elegant yet rustic chandeliers, and enough space to seat up to 130 guests.

PASTURES

Surrounding The BigMount Lodge, acres of Central Pennsylvania farm land provide a stunning back drop for multiple outdoor ceremony locations and/or cocktail hours.

FARM HOUSE

Built in 1811, this historic home boasts six bedrooms, five fire places, updated and spacious kitchen, wine cellar, and is the perfect backdrop to your wedding day.The farm house is privately owned with a section of the house available as a bridal ready area.

SMOKEHOUSE SALOON

The Smokehouse Saloon sits just behind the farm house and is the perfect hang out space and ready area. It features its own TV, sound system, fireplace, grill, patio, and bar.

GLAMPING

The BigMount Lodge is bringing glamping to the region! As of September 2020, we have our very first collection of two Safari Style Luxury Tents that are hand crafted from native cedar logs and tin roof, fully furnished with a rustic chic feel. The owners have designed a site that is ideal for wedding guests as well as secluded retreats. Each tent has a queen-sized bed, seating area, lighting and an overlook deck with a beautiful view. Glamping reservations can be made by visiting https://www.thebigmountlodge.com/glamping.

It would be our pleasure to share your special day with you. Please let us introduce you to The BigMount Lodge.

This private property is managed and catered by Altland House Catering.

The perfect experience

The venue was beautiful. The staff were nothing but friendly and professional. Kirsten bent over backwards to ensure everything went off without a hitch. I had the perfect day and it would not have been possible without the wonderful staff here at BML/ The Altland House

AMAZING! Would highly recommend to anything looking for a rural barn venue

Jen and her team are AMAZING!! From before we even signed the contract to now (the week after the wedding) they are so responsive and helpful. Jen helped to coordinate everything from the set up of the chairs, to the rehearsal and even bustling my dress! Jen’s team was amazing! The service was great and everyone was so kind. 10/10 would recommend BigMount Lodge
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
