Welcome to the Main Lodge at Bison View Lodge, a serene mountain retreat designed for those seeking a sanctuary of relaxation and connection. Originally the heart of a working bison farm atop Tray Mountain, this 6-bedroom, 6-bath lodge was expanded in 2011 and newly redecorated in 2022 to offer modern comfort while maintaining its rustic charm. As you step inside, you’ll be embraced by the natural beauty of cedar truss architecture, abundant natural light, and stunning views of the US Forest and Mount Yonah.

 

We invite you to unwind in the lodge's cozy, thoughtfully designed spaces. Each unique bedroom suite features its own full bath, and there are plenty of quiet corners, perfect for moments of solitude or connection, making it an ideal escape for all personality types.

Bison View Lodge can be rented as part of the entire Retreat Package, as an individual rental (when available), and combined with the Helen Barn to give you a 9 bedroom, 9 bath property. Individual rentals are available from 60 to 90 days in advance only.

  • What is the maximum wedding size?
    Because of our residential septic systems, we have a hard cap at 50 people for overnight accommodations. The total guest list “day of wedding” has a cap of 75, including the wedding party. Most of our weddings are between 35-60 people.
  • What are your packages?
    We strive for simple, transparent pricing. We simply require a 3 night minimum stay, whether you use all of the nights or not. You can download our pricing worksheet below that shows everything we provide.
  • Where do people typically get married on property?
    The ceremony can take place indoors or out, but most of our wedding customers get married outdors. When indoors, the Helen Barn is the spot. If you’re marrying indoors, this space may need to be turned over into a reception space as we do not have a separate wedding chapel. There are several outdoor possibilities. The helipad in the middle of the property has forest, barn, and lodge views depending on seating placement. A covered pavilion/carport next to main lodge that seats up to 75 with views of Mount Yonah and the barn as a backdrop. Another popular location is in front of the lodge with views of Yonah as well.
  • Do you have required vendors?
    We have required food and beverage caterers if you choose to use catering. Our caterers have been vetted for their food, customer service, attention to detail, and their treatment of the lodge. They do a fantastic job for our guests, and they leave the property in amazing condition and know where everything is located.
  • Where do we hold the reception?
    The barn is where our guests hold their reception, either inside or out. It has seating and service for up to 75 people. It features a large kitchen, commercial smoker, and a very cool tiki bar. For those that want an outdoor reception, the area in front of the barn as well as the side porches of the barn make a very scenic spot.
  • Do you provide tables and chairs?
    We provide up to 75 white outdoor ceremony chairs, which you can see here. We also have 8 round 60″ tables and chairs as well as a rectangular table. We provide table linens in black or white. All of this is included in your price.
  • Can we shoot off fireworks on the property?
    Since we are next to the forest, and 3 miles up a gravel road, Bison View Lodge prohibits fireworks being discharged on site in order to lower the risk of fire. However, sparklers may be used with extreme caution.
