Beau Lodge

Beau Lodge sits on seventy secluded acres in Washington's Skagit Valley, where a wooded property first cleared in the early 1900s has grown into a retreat-like setting for weddings, day retreats, family reunions, birthdays, showers, and memorials. The grounds — shaped by decades of care, from the great room and pond added in the 1960s to the mature landscaping planted around them — offer many indoor and outdoor locations for a celebration, including a pond crossed by bridges with a spillway built as a natural fish ladder for salmon migrating to Colony Creek. The lodge's banquet room opens onto two large covered deck areas and a covered gazebo "stable," and a full-sized kitchen accommodates large parties. Guest capacity runs 150 to 200 in spring and summer and 75 to 100 in fall and winter, with rental hours from 9am to 11pm. Couples may bring the caterer of their choice, and on-site equipment includes round and rectangular tables, 150 chairs, and full place settings for 150 guests. A bride's dressing room with an adjacent bathroom and Japanese soaking tub, a separate groom's dressing room, and parking for up to 200 guests round out the property.
