Lantern Lodge in Blairsville, GA will serve as our destination retreat and wedding venue. It has magnificent views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from every bedroom and every one of the 8 decks.

We hope you enjoy the quiet relaxation of this superb mountain escape; only 7 miles to the charming town of Blairsville and a 30 minute drive to downtown Blue Ridge. It's also close to hiking trails, fishing, lake swimming, kayaking, boating, tubing, and the invigorating outdoors.

The two houses have 8 bedrooms; an open game area; a rock-built pizza oven; an all-stone backyard patio with fireplace; an outdoor fire pit; indoor fireplaces, a treehouse and hammocks , a rock waterfall, and rustic cabin decor.

Lantern Lodge is set in a rural, residential community. With this is mind, the owners have set some guidelines for guests in order to keep the impact of events to the surrounding homes to a minimum.

Noise:

Apparently, loud music and other noise can echo through the valley pretty dramatically. Decibel meters are installed around the property so the management can monitor levels and reach out to us if it gets excessive. We can get fined if it gets too loud, so please help us keep it down.

Alcohol:

The venue does not allow alcohol on the premises, with a few exceptions. Therefore, we ask that our guests please don't bring any alcohol to the venue. We'll have plenty of opportunities to "imbibe" during our in-town events. We will have a champagne toast and the reception with sparkling grape juice available for our guests who don't drink.

Parking:

All cars have to be parked inside the gate, as street parking is not permitted. Call Austin or Matt when you arrive and we'll help you locate where to park.

We appreciate you helping us respect the rules of the venue managers and owners.
