Long Barn Lodge and Event Center

The Long Barn Lodge sits in the heart of Stanislaus National Forest near Long Barn, California, roughly 15 miles from Pinecrest Lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The property combines rustic mountain character with full event capabilities, offering 20 motel rooms and 10 cabins so that wedding parties and guests can gather and stay together in one location. The event center hosts ceremonies and receptions from mid-April through mid-October, accommodating up to 200 guests across multiple outdoor garden ceremony sites framed by towering pine and cedar trees. After ceremonies on the natural grounds, celebrations move into the spacious indoor reception area. The lodge also hosts family reunions, group retreats, birthday parties, and private gatherings throughout the year. An on-site ice skating arena opens seasonally from mid-November through mid-March for private group events and parties.
