Weddings
SFI’s rustic lodge and sprawling lawns are set against a backdrop of towering trees and mountain peaks – creating the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding surrounded by nature’s splendor. Our venue offers multiple outdoor spaces including beautiful grounds, a covered picnic pavilion, and grand front porch overlooking a sweeping view of the Illinois Valley. Inside, our main lodge offers a full kitchen, great room, and private rooms for lodging or wedding party preparations. Additional accommodations are available for guests if desired, including two yurts, tent camping space, and full bathhouse with heated showers.
