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.

Covered & Open-Air Experience

The Barn offers the benefit of being covered while still feeling connected to the outdoors.

  • Protection from weather while maintaining an open-air feel

  • Natural light throughout the space

  • Easy flow between nearby outdoor areas

This makes it a reliable option for groups that want flexibility without being fully indoors.
