Why Rustic Gatherings Lodge is So Special:


Tucked at the base of Mt. Moosilauke, Rustic Gatherings Lodge offers that perfect mix of rustic charm, quaint diver, and cozy lodge vibes. The cabin itself is stunning—with warm wood beams, a spacious lawn, and a wood-fired hot tub that feels like something out of a Nordic daydream. Sitting right on the river, the flowing water is the most magical white noise to swoon you into your marriage.


It’s ideal for couples who want to slow down, spend the weekend with loved ones, and say their vows surrounded by nature.


Bonus: Rustic Gatherings is dog friendly!
