KIND WORDS FROM OUR COUPLES

TWENTY MILE HOUSE IS A DREAM!

TMH was the most amazing venue for our wedding. It was absolute magic! The staff were incredible and helpful, the food was amazing, and the setting was surreal. Wish we could do it all over again!

Kathleen – Bride

EXCELLENT VENUE AND EXPERIENCE!

We just had our wedding at Twenty Mile House and it exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends have been raving about how much fun they had, how beautiful the venue was, and how overall it was an amazing experience. Much of that is thanks not only to the beauty of the venue but also to the Twenty Mile House staff, who are wonderful to work with and created a day that went incredibly smoothly, where we didn't have to worry about the coordination at all because they took care of it. Having an all-inclusive venue was also a huge bonus - all of the vendors are excellent and work together seamlessly, which again made the day of go incredibly smoothly. Could not have imagined a better wedding day!

Julia – Bride

TWENTY MILE HOUSE WAS THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT VENUE FOR US!

[Rachel] was so helpful in answering all our questions and getting us the information we needed to make a decision. We live in Southern California and we’re not able to go up and view the property so she offered us a virtual tour. After that we were sold and booked the venue without seeing it in person! Thankfully it was the best decision we made. The vendors were all lovely to work with and when the day came it was exactly what we hoped for. Everyone hit it out of the park and we, along with our guests, had the best time!

Jillian B. – Groom

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!

We are eternally grateful for Twenty Mile House, its amazing staff and vendors for making our wedding day so special! Everything was absolutely perfect and we highly encourage all couples to consider this venue for their wedding. We were looking for an outdoor venue in California and came across this beautiful historical property an hour and half north of Truckee. We still find ourselves reliving that week over and over and we secretly hope someone we know will have a wedding at Twenty Mile House so we can go back and experience it as guests.

Andrea – Bride

THE ENERGY IS AMAZING, UNDENIABLE!

The Twenty Mile House is a phenomenal place, a true gem locked in time in all its glory. For our event, the ceremony, reception and lodging for some of our family and friends took place all at the TMH. Our family and friends traveled from all over California and some from Colorado, they all exalted that the experience was worth every mile. I heard praises from each guest that evening regarding how amazed they were at the atmosphere. Thank you Kevin and the Twenty Mile House!
