Rent this historic mountain lodge to privately host your closest friends and family for a weekend at Rainbow Lodge in the Sierra Mountains (up to 120 event guests). There are 30 on-site rooms that can accommodate up to 60 overnight guests. The lodge combines historic charm, rustic accents, and modern amenities with one of the best locations in Northern California. The Rainbow Lodge is located in the Sierra Mountains within Tahoe National Forest along Old Lincoln Highway 40. The setting offers pristine mountain views & the entire lodge is full of charm & character while retaining the allure of the past! Guest rooms are unique & common areas are decorated with historical pieces. Today, the lodge provides a beautiful getaway for romantic celebrations of love. 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!

The Tahoe Mountain Club was an absolute dream to work with for the weddings I have had out there. Their communication via email, phone, and in-person was quick and responsive, making the venue planning process a breeze. The venue itself is gorgeous, with an updated and modern feel, and their amazing staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. From helping us find the perfect spots for sunset photos to crafting a beverage package that fit our budget, the team at Tahoe Mountain Club truly knows what good customer service is all about. I just love working with them - they are so attentive and helpful, open to new ideas, and incredibly quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. The stunning views make it a pretty fantastic "office" for me to work out of when I get the honor of being there.

The ceremony and social hour will be on the outside observation deck and the reception is indoors with the same lake view and sweeping mountain scape. Available April – early December.

I honestly don't know if I have enough time to write all my favorite things about Palisades Tahoe. I have worked at this venue for last 7 years. They quickly became one of my favorite venues to work at, either at High Camp, OVL or many of their other amazing locations like Base Camp, Rocker, Plaza bar etc. They feel like family, the planning staff there are top notch, they truly know how to take care of their clients. The catering staff goes above and beyond for each couple we have together, their food DELICIOUS in all aspects of appetizers, plated or buffet and some of the real show stoppers are done by their pastry chef Cortney. On the wedding day, they are so attentive and work their bums off to make sure that our couples have thee most amazing experiences. I constantly commend them for their professionalism and support through the process to the couples we have together because of the attention to detail and care. It also doesn't hurt that they have some of the most incredible views of Lake Tahoe from High Camp, or beautiful mountains from the garden at OVL and the village. I feel so lucky to be able to work with so many incredible couples on the mountain. If you are looking for a venue, you will not be disappointed with Palisades Tahoe. (Trust me, I work with a lot of venues and they are top of my list!)
