That's a cool idea!

This couple had their wedding weekend at a lodge. They infused it with a lot of personality & it looked like everyone had a great weekend together!
We did ours at Shinneyboo Cabin Creek resort, which was a beautiful venue... I wouldn't recommend our venue though because the owner was such an annoyance.
ooh, valley of the moon in cali! i was JUST thinking about that place this morning. went there for my 6th grade camping trip. it was a beautiful place! while i'm hoping to do something casual, i think a campsite would be too casual but super fun!
One of the programs that my work oversees is a camp. They do weddings there and its fantastic! If we were outdoorsy, rustic ppl I would totally consider it.
Mrs Dg: I'm so glad I just read your post about Shinneyboo as thats one of the places we were really interested in. Do you mind if I ask exactly what the owner did that annoyed you guys so much? I think I'll take you up on your offer from the other day- do you have any recomendations of places in Tahoe to host a small reception.......say 30-40 people max? Somewhere rustic, laid back would be good- nothing too fussy or formal, oh and of course nice scenery. We ideally would like to have a bbq catered reception at a cabin but, I'm having trouble finding owners who will allow us to have a small reception which I understand.
RecessionistaBride: I seen that blog a while back and really enjoyed reading about their wedding. Thanks.
@ Leafy- I know of a couple places in Tahoe that would be perfect for a small, rustic wedding. Camp Richardson has a big cabin they rent out for reunions, parties, etc... I think it sleeps like 20 people, and you would definitely be allowed to have a reception there. Sand Harbor is beautiful and allows group gatherings with minimal fees. Painted Rock is this awesome luxury rental that allows group events. It's more expensive, but if everyone stayed in the cabin it might be worth the cost. Also, the Fireside Lodge is one of the cutest little B&Bs I've ever seen. You can rent the whole place out for a weekend (sleeps like 20-25 I think) for only a couple thousand and they do small receptions right on the property.
ETA: Also The Fireside Lodge and Camp Richardson are right next to campgrounds if your family/friends are into the outdoors. You could always rent a few spaces and have everyone who doesn't fit into the cabins camp out next door.
This would be a great idea for a wedding! Ultimately we didn't go for a summer camp (farm wedding instead) but I love the idea of having all the guest staying onsite!
Mrs. Spring: Thank you so much for all the wonderful info, I'll be looking in to those locations.
Sorry just saw this. The owner of Shinneyboo was very intrusive, not helpful, and tried to nickel and dime us on every last thing. He lost reservations, he was non-communicative and combative. He wouldn't even interact with me, preferring to interact with Mr. DG's parents.
The site is beautiful, but it is simply not worth the trouble!
Other places we looked at were Granlibakken, Garwoods, River Ranch, Shore House, Sugar Bowl, Carousel House and there was another that I can't remember!
Between Spring and I, I think we've got North and South Lake Tahoe covered. I think it's a good idea to decide which side of the lake you want to be on and then go from there :)
I didn't know you could rent the River Ranch, DG! That's so cool! I'm going to have to look into that for our next family reunion. Thanks for the tip! :)
Yup! If we were having a smaller wedding we definitely would have done it there!
Mrs. DG: We will not be looking in to hosting the wedding at Shinneyboo now, I'm so glad you mentioned this as it was top of my list of places to check out.....PHEW! Thanks so much for all the info on other places, I'm going to look them all up now. I don't think it really matters what side of Tahoe we get married on, we should be living in San Diego (FI should be getting orders there) so either way it's a sort of destination wedding for us and we are open as far as locations.
I know it's not exactly Lake Tahoe but have either of you ladies heard anything about this place? http://www.themountainandgarden.com/
I've never heard of that place before, but the pictures are beautiful! I love the mountains in the background; very pretty!

Hi Hive,
I've been hearing bout some folks renting or being interesting in renting a summer camp to host their wedding at. This is something I am interested in myself which lead me to find this little gem: http://www.rentmycamp.com/
These are great locations for those interested in a rustic theme, outdoor lovers or people who would liek all their guests in one place for a weekend or so.
