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.

The horse trek was beautiful. The scenery was beautiful. Weather was great. It’s just very relaxing. It’s very nice. The white water rafting, I was a little nervous about it because we’ve never done that before…………………
