What Is Stone Mountain Lodge?
Stone Mountain Lodge is a family-owned and operated venue located on a beautiful 45 acres in Lyons, Colorado. When you enter the property, you’re completely secluded from the noise of the world, surrounded by towering red cliffs and lush green meadows where wildflowers flourish. You and your guests can enjoy the onsite amenities, explore the hiking trail, and admire the North St. Vrain River. With charming onsite cabins, this Stone Mountain Lodge has everything you need to host your loved ones for the ultimate wedding weekend.
The ceremony site is at the base of those towering red cliffs, creating an impressive backdrop to say “I do” underneath the vine-covered arbor. One of the best features of Stone Mountain Lodge is the proximity of the spaces at the venue. The cabins are just a short walk to or from the ceremony site, making it a seamless experience to get ready, then get married. Once you’ve exchanged your vows, you can head down the steps to the outdoor cocktail space on the lawn. Complete with an outdoor bar and lawn games, your guests will be highly entertained! After cocktail hour, you’ll head right past the pond into the airy reception tent, complete with lighting and seating, to dance the night away.
If you’re looking for an all-inclusive and private wedding experience, you can reserve the entire venue for the night of your celebration!

Sunset Portraits at Stone Mountain Lodge
One of the most iconic features of the venue are the sweeping views of the river running through the mountains. After you sign your marriage license, we’ll head up the mountainside for private couples portraits!
