I cannot say enough good things about our experience with The Lodge. From the moment we got in contact with them to the wedding itself, they were friendly, helpful, clear, straight forward and everything was done with an extraordinary level of care and detail. The venue itself is beautiful, and the brand new chapel was a surprise that was only built after we actually booked! Both Jeff and Amy were excellent communicators and I believe what we got for the price was unparalleled. This was the only venue we ever looked at because it was everything we wanted- the main lodge, the chapel, the grounds and the cottages on the property- all gave us the wedding of our dreams! THANK YOU! Reviewed on 22-12-2023

I can't say enough about Jeff Mazurek and Amy Mazurek with The Lodge at Country Inn and Cottages. Amy and Jeff helped to made our daughters wedding an incredible experience from start to finish. The location and venue are nothing short of amazing! There were enough cabins available on the property to allow over 120 of our guests to actually stay on-site for the entire weekend. From the glass chapel, reception hall with a Bose sound system and an outdoor patio... they had everything we needed to make the Carello-Mardaga wedding and reception an event to remember. It's days later and we are still getting calls and emails from guests that can't stop talking about it. Go down to Fredericksburg and visit this place. You'll be glad you did! I'll give 5 more stars because the 5 above just isn't enough... âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Reviewed on 17-11-2023

Christene Schoener(other)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-02-2023 I really liked that we were able to decorate the afternoon before the wedding. It would have been nice to be able to get in there prior to 3 pm, (as per their policy) but we were able to get everything done because we had so many sweet people there to help us out. The owner explained that because of liability issues he could no longer have the elk on premises. However, my son bought a lot of corn in order to have them in the background for wedding photos and was not notified about the change prior to his arrival. That was one of the selling points for both bride and groom. They both wanted the wildlife in the background. My husband and I stayed in cabin 5. I loved how the whole family could congregate in the large living room. I think with a few updates, this could be an awesome cabin. New floors-the carpeting throughout was old and needed replacing. The bathroom connected to the master has NO privacy because the accordion door isn't wide enough to cover from side to side-no longer functioning correctly. Considering the comfy bed faced the toilet... I liked the wood burning stove in the living room-it was cold outside on our visit. All in all, it was a great time for everyone. Reviewed on 03-03-2023

We personally booked 5 cabins to accommodate all our vendors and our needs and every single one was perfect. Our Welcome Dinner was held at the cabins under a huge tent and the night was amazing. Our overall wedding was absolutely perfect. The bartenders provided by the venue were awesome. Edward even helped bartend at our Welcome Dinner the night before. The only hiccup we had was the outdoor sound system struggling during the ceremony so if your DJ has the ability to provide the mic, let them. None of that was a deal breaker, we were able to see past it because it was a windy day. We canât begin to thank Amy enough for making the whole process so simple.

Iâm not sure what I was expecting for the facility, but it surpassed any thoughts I may have had. Having everything on one site was wonderful especially for out of towners. The cabins were charming and comfortable. Grazing elk we could watch and feed added to the Texas country feel. Watching the Lodge be transformed from a large space to an elegant intimate wedding setting and then transformed again to an elegant dinner reception was amazing. The accommodations for the bride and bridal party and the groom and groomsmen were large enough so there was room for all the preparations for both parties. It was a wonderful setting for my granddaughterâs wedding. Reviewed on 24-02-2019
Collin Moffett(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2018 Firstly, the Lodge is a stunning place to see. Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, this venue is a cut above the rest in terms of its natural beauty and the eloquent yet cozy facilities. There is certainly a rustic hill country flair to everything, but it's not done in a way that in any way diminishes the cleanness and niceness of the design. It adds warmth and authenticity without taking away the ability to be formal and celebratory. I very much appreciated the versatility of the space; there is very little you could imagine that you also could not practically achieve as far as layouts and decorations. The staff made no small effort to ensure that my wedding day was blissfully perfect. From the coordination of the temperature in the room to the sound system and layout of the space, they wanted to make sure it was exactly what my beloved and I wanted. The cottages themselves were visually impressive, comfortable, and so very convenient. They allowed us to spend precious time with family members that I otherwise would not have gotten. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be married in such a superb venue. Reviewed on 20-02-2019
Catherine Kimble(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2018 I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing venue! Not only is it stunning (the triple high ceiling, the natural light and stone and woodwork are all to die for, inside and out) but they know their stuff here. From the very beginning of the tour I felt like the place was run by such competent and caring people, that have done a million weddings and have so much experience, but see the unique and beautiful aspects of each couple and strive to make the venue reflect those beautiful differences. They had the little details that make your day either amazing or a nightmare down to a science, from the exact temperatures to keep the brides and grooms suites (yes they keep them at different temperatures.. like... how many weddings do you have to do to know that brides prefer between 71 and 69 and grooms and groomsmen are comfortable on the lower end? ) and how to adjust the ceremony / reception temperature based on time of day, number of people etc. Like, they took care of all the little things, that is just one example, that you really could never even think to be concerned about until you are sweating waiting to walk down the isle and its just too late to do anything about it! We did something rather unique for my wedding, we had the ceremony and the reception in the same space and flipped the room in between while the guests were at cocktail hour. Now that doesn't sound like too big of a deal, but you should probably know that I had the space filled with pews and we basically transformed it into a high ceilinged chapel/cathedral complete with stained glass window outlines and all. So it was quite an ordeal to work out the logistics of the flip and setting up the entire reception but they didn't bat an eye, just worked with my planner to figure out how to do it and make the bride happy. The grounds that the venue is located on are stunning, we were able to take the most breathtaking pictures without having to walk off the property, and the outdoor dance floor is lit up at night and is simply picturesque. Everything is designed to be photogenic and allow for natural flow of guests, even with the ridiculous and high maintenance room flip that I demanded since I did not want to get married outside in the taxes heat in August! (Although you could do it, looking back the day was cool enough and the outdoor ceremony space is shaded). We booked out the whole property, all the cabins and everything, for the weekend and my whole family (like 100 people y'all) and the whole wedding party was able to stay on site, which was wonderful for our out of town guests to not have to worry about driving back and forth from a hotel to the site. The cabins were just a short walk down a hill from the venue. Our wedding day was simply magical, and the wonderful owners and staff at The Lodge contributed greatly to making our wedding day the best day of our lives, you couldn't be in better hands.

I toured the venue on a whim when I was in town visiting my family, and Jeff sold me on the place immediately. It was the perfect size and location for the day we were planning, and the venue itself is just so beautiful! I didn't have a wedding planner, so Amy and Jeff's help throughout the year was invaluable. No question was too silly or small. Amy was always quick to respond to my emails, which were plentiful, with her sincere advice and made me feel at ease with the planning process. We had a 4pm church rehearsal in town on Friday, and Amy and Jeff were kind enough to adjust the venue setup time that day to accommodate our schedule. Since we had all of the cottages booked with wedding guests, we were able to use the outdoor patio area (by the cottages) for our rehearsal dinner. Most of our guests were were from out of town and they were delighted with the scenery and all of the wildlife. We wanted them all to experience what Trevor and I love so much about the Texas Hill Country, and this was the perfect place to show it. The wedding day went as smoothly as we could have hoped and the venue looked amazing! We were very lucky with the weather and had the outside patio set up with cocktail tables so that everyone could enjoy the beautiful evening. We also had a bunch of little ones at the reception, and this is a great location for them as well. Lots of outdoor space for them to run around when they get bored inside with all of the adults. Our guests went on and on about how beautiful everything was and we have the pictures to prove it! Overall, we were beyond pleased with our venue choice! I want to include this next part for any fellow Brides doing their own wedding planning :1.) just remember that you are responsible for setup and teardown of tables and chairs. Be sure to line up your help ahead of time. We had about 10 people helping and it took us about 2 hours to setup inside tables, chairs, chair cushions, centerpieces and outdoor cocktail tables. Teardown on Sunday was faster, but still took at least an hour. 2.) Wine and cocktail glasses are not included with the bar, they are an extra charge. Pricing is reasonable , but just be aware. 3.) Per the contract all beer and wine is purchased through the venue. It took several e-mails, but ultimately we found a red, white and sparking that we were very happy with (even ordered extra to take home). Just know that your initial choice may not be available with the vendor. 4.) Reviewed on 27-10-2017

I was on quite the time constraint, so I was hoping to find a venue that was both beautiful and seamless to work with. After looking at several venues in the hill country area, this was my last stop. From the moment I toured their beautiful property, I was never left disappointed. The actual facility is stunning and in impeccable condition. The options are unlimited as to what you can do with the space. The onsite cabins are stunning. The attention to detail and high end accommodations for a ârustic country experienceâ are beyond anything I could have asked for. This is a place I would stay for a weekend getaway. In fact, my husband and I wanted a place we could come back to for visits and we plan on doing just that.All of those things are wonderful, but add to it that I simply cannot say enough about Jeff and Amy. Their professionalism, responsiveness and willingness to help was a game changer for me. I wish everyone could be as helpful as them. They worked behind the scenes to make everything absolutely perfect for our special day. Not one detail was left unattended to and the day could not have been more perfect. Their staff is friendly and attentive and I havenât stopped receiving compliments as to how wonderful everything was from the actual wedding to the facilities to the accommodations.

One of the biggest reasons why we chose this venue was because they have lodging for about 100+ guests right there on the property. The cabins were super cute, clean and uber convenient for our wedding guests. One thing to note is the bridal suite & groom's room are a bit small so we ended up using the cabins we rented as our area to get ready. It worked out perfectly.

Laura Bray(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-12-2014 Fredericksburg, TX is a popular and beautiful place for a wedding. Of all the venues we checked out, this is BY FAR the best!! It's a beautiful building, recently built, with every convenience a bride could ask for. Beautiful lighting, great sound system, full-service bar, spacious and comfortable rooms for the bride and groom and their attendants, spacious (for at least 200, plus a band and caterers), an outdoor wedding space that is beautiful in itself, but lends itself to great decorations for any kind of service, cabins on site and suites in town (we didn't use their lodging facilities because another bride had already reserved their cabins for one of the nights we needed). It truly is the perfect space for an outdoor (or indoor) wedding and reception, and the owners, two of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to do business with, are right there with you to make sure that EVERYTHING is perfect for you and your guests. This is, without question, a FIVE STAR facility, located just outside of Fredericksburg, a quaint, beautiful German-American town. Our wedding was on December 27, and the Christmas decorations in town are just AMAZING. After the rehearsal dinner, we hired a red, double-decker bus to take guests to the Market Center downtown, a large park with lots of huge trees full of lights, a life-size Nativity Scene, and a HUGE Tower of Christmas Windmill, for some hot mulled wine, hot chocolate and pastries. My daughter is an opera singer, and when she visited Fredericksburg with her then boyfriend, he proposed to her there, and because it looked so much like some of the towns in Germany where she had sung, she decided that Fredericksburg was exactly where she wanted to be married. A beautiful, extremely friendly, and tourist oriented community in the Texas Hill/Wine Country... the PERFECT place for a wedding and all of the associated events and lodging requirements, a 4 hour drive from the DFW area, or 90 minutes from Austin or San Antonio airports.

Jennifer Strachan(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-10-2014 I'm re-reviewing the venue now that we are married. I want to keep my original review because there were definitely some mishaps and plenty of miscommunication getting things booked (see below). Fast forward to the week of the wedding. Everything looked absolutely beautiful. We worked with Jasper Eisenberg who was a total pro and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Jeff and team stepped it up as it got closer and made themselves available to help with whatever we needed. They were also lenient when it came to getting our things out the next day which was nice for our hungover helpers. The guests enjoyed being on site, how beautiful everything was and the gorgeous weather. \r\rThe venue (in my opinion) is one of the most important parts of a wedding that really defines it. This venue was pretty new and ironing out a lot of things, including someone to work the bookings. I hope that since we booked they've ironed out all the kinks and learned from past mistakes. \r\r\r\r\rI booked my wedding at this venue for October for this year (2014). It was not happened yet so I may decide to change the review, but so far my experience working this venue so far has not been good. I originally chose this venue because it's very pretty, but also for the 28 onsite cabins. I loved the idea of having most of my guests stay onsite. The venue is pricier than a lot I was looking at, but chose to overlook this for having the onsite accommodations (I didn't want a hotel). I knew they had only had 2 weddings at the point I signed the contract and this should have been a warning sign. \r\rFrom day 1 they were pretty disorganized and unresponsive. I found out after signing the contract that 6 of the cabins were already booked. The owner did not seem to try that hard to take care of the situation that should not have even happened in the first place. After almost 2 months of he told me the people in the cabins were not moving and that was all he could do. He did not offer to compensate me in any other way, even though he knew the cabins were an integral part of my wedding. \r\rThe onsite B&B seems to be first priority for the couple that owns this venue, not the venue itself. Not a great attitude when you have people choosing this to have their dream wedding. It has left a bad taste in my mouth and I would caution people to realize this fact what they are looking into when booking this venue. \r\r Reviewed on 19-03-2014
