The Wolf Creek Retreat has an atmosphere of a magical fairyland....it is nestled away and appears like Brigadoon once you cross the bridge to the Lakeside venue.

When you and your guests cross the flower-laden foot bridge you will walk up to the chapel. Inside to the left you will see the bar area, in the corner, made from a huge resurfaced worktable. Plenty of room for your liquor bottles and serving supplies. Just at the end, a completely refurbished Coca-Cola cooler to house all the ice, pop, beer, water, or tea you may need for your party.

You will be able to walk through the French doors across the new deck and onto the hillside beach by the lake to make your grand entrance to the wedding venue.

The wide-open beach area allows your guests to spread out and enjoy the scenery.

There is always a breeze that comes across the lake keeping things comfortable and fresh.

Lakeside offers a 40’ x 72’ open-air massive upscale barn pavilion type building under which the tables and chairs are situated.

As the Pavilion has open walls - with curtains in case of rain - there is less chance of close contact with other guests, an important safety feature. There are BRIDE AND GROOM CHANGING ROOMS inside the fabulous Chapel and INDOOR RESTROOMS created from the old hayloft.

The Wolf Creek Retreat steam cleans and also sanitizes with a bleach based cleaner between every event.
