Frequently Asked Questions…

  • The cost to book Scholls Valley Lodge may vary depending on the package, day, season, and number of guests that have been chosen for the event. We send a customized proposal according to our client's options, add-ons, and needs description. Contact us for pricing.

  • We strive to be upfront and transparent with our pricing. The only additional fees you could encounter are:

    9% overnight lodging tax on the overnight portion of your stay.

    3% credit card fee when paying by credit card. We do accept checks.

    $500 refundable deposit to cover any expenses or damages.

    Our prices are based on 100 person guest count. There is a $500 charge for every 50 guests over the initial 100.

  • We offer the Lodge as a weekend package (Friday - Sunday), and not not rent indvidual Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. The extended timeframe allows groups to gather longer, lowers stress levels and is easier on vendors as well.

    During the winter months (November - April) we are flexible with our 2 night minimum on the weekend. If you have a specific request, please contact us.

  • We do have a no-pet policy but do make exceptions on occasion. We understand that animals are part of the family too. We request that dogs stay outside and not go inside the Lodge. Dogs must remain on a leash while on the property unless actively participating in photos or the event. We also want to make you aware there are other dogs that live on the property. Ask about any special requests.

  • Sparklers are allowed with the following conditions:
    It must be in writing by creating an addendum to the contract.

    Any sparklers sticks found on the property will be a $50 charge per stick. (These cause damage to our lawn equipment.)

    A bucket of water must be on hand and ready. Explain as sparklers are distributed that the sparklers must go directly into the bucket after use.

    If there is a burn restriction in place for the County, sparklers will not be allowed regardless of a contract addendum.

  • We have no catering or vendor restrictions. Outside catering, food trucks, DIY, etc. are allowed. We do ask for a list of vendors that will be onsite.

    We do have a list of preferred vendors but there is no obligation to work with them.

  • We require a 50% deposit upon booking. The remainder is due 180 days prior to check-in.

  • There are a couple of options for a rain plan, some more feasible depending upon your guest count.

    The first is to tent the lawn or patio, but this requires a lot of logistics and additional expenses.

    You can move inside the Lodge. The great room can hold 80-90 people. With the garage doors open and people spilling out onto the deck, it can hold closer to 120 people.

    But the most common option we've seen is to use the barn space for both a ceremony and reception. It is a large space that can easily accommodate both setups, with minimal effort to transition between them. With some heaters and blankets the space can stay fairly comfortable.

  • We have overnight accommodations are for 32 people.

    Inside the Lodge can accommodate 80 for a seated/plated dinner or as many as 175 for a mingling reception style.

    The outdoor barn can fit up to 250 comfortably.

    Prices are based on a guest count of 150.

  • We do not hold dates. We only receive reservation requests by email and take them by the date and time they come in.

  • Yes! Overnight reservations include access to the entire Lodge, all rooms and all outdoors areas.

    We only rent the whole property. You have exclusive access to the whole space and decide how you would like to use the space.

  • The SVL has 9 individual rooms, 20 individual beds and can sleep 32 people. You are welcome to bring in blow up mattresses, tents, RVs, etc. as well.

    We also have another rental space on the property that can sleep an additional 10 people if needed.

  • We do not have a bbq available for guest use. You are welcome to bring one of your own or rent one to use during your stay.
