THE BARN

The Barn is a large covered gathering space included with the Upper Lodge that offers flexibility for groups needing additional room to meet, dine, or come together.

With an open layout and natural surroundings, it provides a comfortable setting for both structured use and more relaxed group time, while remaining protected from the elements.
