Located just west of the Carriage House and south of our Lodge is the Forest Setting for those who wish for a more secluded space tucked amongst the pines. While its just a short walk from the Carriage House, it is adjacent from our access road so guests with limited mobility can be delivered right to the site. Choose as your backdrop an ancient Ponderosa Pine or an appealing, lichen-covered boulder, this space accommodates large wedding parties and many guests in a shady and cozy location.

This raised, covered structure offers unparalleled, 365° views of the surrounding mountains, rolling pastures and our reflective pond. Within the gazebo can be accommodated up to 25 for smaller ceremonies, or with its large electrical capacity, it can host a large band or complete serving line for food service and catering. As a ceremony site, seating can extend into the Courtyard for even the largest number of guests while maintaining its comfort and intimacy.

The contemplative nature of this garden, with its double-spiraled labyrinth, is the ideal space for meditative practices or unique wedding ceremonies. With both east and west entrances, the wedding couple may enter from opposite sides and meet in the middle to complete their vows in a simple, but beautiful, open garden surrounded by the serenity of the Rocky Mountains. Another feature is its closeness to our west pasture such that we can release our herd at the climax of your ceremony for a dramatic finale as the horses provide an exclusive backdrop for your guests to enjoy. Then end your ceremony to enjoy a good meal and celebration of your special day. Our Labyrinth Garden combines natural wonder with convenience and accessibility, which makes it our most popular ceremony site and a fantastic locale for photo opportunities
