Two such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.

The Inn's natural beauty provides a wonderful setting for your special day

Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life. The natural elegance found on the Inn on Mill Creek's seven acres in the forest makes the Inn the perfect outdoor destination for your special day.  

Imagine exchanging your vows near a serene mountain lake with the picturesque forest all around you. At the Inn on Mill Creek, you can say "I do" under a romantic arbor on the lake while the quiet hush of a waterfall and babbling brook lends itself to a serene atmosphere. 

Couples may alternatively choose an indoor setting under the cathedral rough-hewn cedar ceiling of the Inn's great room, which overlooks the gardens and the forest surrounding the Inn

We focus on providing a beautiful venue for intimate ceremonies and receptions of up to 30 guests in order to maintain the tranquil and natural atmosphere of the national forest in which we reside, and to be able to assist you with planning your wonderful wedding day at the Inn on Mill Creek.
