Ceremony and Reception Sites

Heritage/Heart-J

Give your heart to each other at the Heart-J Pond.

Our Heart-J Pond is a unique heart-shaped pond that Maurice Jessup built to honor his wife "Tillie".

Say your vows near the Big Thompson River, or gather under the whispering pines surrounded by grassy open space adjacent to Rainbow Lake.

Natural backdrops create the perfect spot to share with your loved ones.

Once you've "tied the knot" make your way to our largest gathering room for your reception. Or, in the colder months fulfill your Winter Wedding fantasy inside with a warm, glowing fire.

With the style of a lofty mountain lodge, The Heritage offers an abundance of warmth and charm for a truly romantic gathering. Featuring log trusses, a grand stone fireplace, rich hickory flooring, and large covered wood porch skirted by a beautiful garden.

You'll love the combination of the majestic outdoors and indoors all in one location.

Add a little ‘out of the ordinary fun’ with fishing at Rainbow Lake. Take a toss in our complimentary horseshoe pits or ace a game in our sand volleyball court.

Perhaps a game of pool, Foosball, or ping pong in the "Round-Up" game room will fit your recreational mood.

Take a dip in our heated swimming pool (seasonal), or relax in the court-side hot-tub with views of Rainbow lake and the Big Thompson River in the distance.

Consider extending your stay with family and friends, and entertain everyone with our unique guest activities.

Your wedding dreams can become reality at this elegant site!
