Valley Lodge
A Meeting Place Like No Other
Finding the perfect venue for a conference, corporate getaway, team building or staff bonding session is never easy.
Do you look for somewhere close to home, somewhere where ‘everybody’ goes, or do you look for a venue where the surroundings might just give you that creative edge? A place where no cellphone reception means that you can focus on the task at hand, or a place where it’s easy to keep in touch all the time? A venue where you can walk out of the door straight into natures own setting, or a venue where you can walk out of the room, down the hall, and be back downtown?
A venue where you and you business will be valued.
We can provide the surroundings for YOU to do your best work. That’s our promise.
