Why Should You Choose Twenty Mile House Over Other Lake Tahoe Wedding Spots?

We honor our history through the preservation of the estate and the historic acreage will create a wedding story like no other.  

UNIQUE

You won’t find another Tahoe wedding venue that can match our unique balance of luxury and charm. With photo backdrops that range from an old country store to glistening river ripples to towering pine trees, the memories you preserve here will be incomparable with other venues in the area.
