  The Lodge at Mountain Springs Lake traces its roots to a jewel of a spring-fed lake discovered more than 75 years ago while hiking Big Pocono, a find that grew into Mountain Springs Lake Resort and, within it, the historic inn known as The Lodge. By the 1980s, The Lodge had become a favorite fine dining spot in the Poconos, and the addition of The Verandah in the early 2000s carried that same culinary attention into wedding and event hosting. The property remains family-run by successive generations of the Rader family. Today The Lodge hosts one wedding at a time, so each celebration has exclusive use of the grounds. Ceremonies can take place under a handcrafted wooden pergola by the pond or lakeside along Mountain Springs Lake's private, spring-fed waters, with receptions of up to 200 guests held in The Verandah, where floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the pond and bring the outdoors in on rainy days. The Orchard & Fire Pit, a fenced outdoor gathering space with a stone fire pit and covered pavilion seating for 65, is also available for welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or after-hours gatherings. Wedding packages are all-inclusive, with catering prepared on-site by The Lodge's in-house culinary team, dedicated event coordination, and access to the Carriage House and Gathering Suite for wedding-party preparation.
