Welcome to Golden Hill Ranch, a beautiful 10 acre property in Northern California with the most stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Say "I do" surrounded by the serene beauty of a vast, picturesque field. Featuring the largest pool in El Dorado County, the venue offers a variety of settings for guests to enjoy. Capture timeless moments with stunning photo opportunities around the ranch. From fields of wildflowers to majestic oak trees, every corner of the property tells a story. The ranch offers more than just a venue; it provides an immersive experience that connects you to the beauty of nature. A brand new 4 bed, 2.5 bath home on the property is available for overnight accommodations. Please inquire for more details and a tour - we can't wait to meet you.

We rented Golden Hill Ranch for an intimate wedding celebration. The property is stunning, and the pool is so much fun for hanging out during the day. If you’re hosting friends or family from out of town, this is a great option as you can use the property for the pool during the daytime and then use lawn for the evening events. The staff were great and we were so happy with how everything turned out!

The outdoor lawn offers a stunning backdrop for couples to hold their ceremony with views of the river and mountains.

Rainbow Lodge is an amazing venue! When we booked Rainbow Lodge we got the property from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon and 60 of our guests got to stay with us. This allowed for more time with friends and family during our wedding weekend and our guests had the best time. The lodge has a wondering swimming hole, beautiful lawn and wonderfully kept grounds. The Lodge itself has so much character and getting the whole space for the weekend was so much fun! Emily made the booking process so easy and was there to answer all our questions while we planned our wedding weekend. We were able to host both the rehearsal and wedding at the Lodge. I recommend Rainbow Lodge to anyone, it was such a special venue!
