The Grand Cedar Lodge

Our grand cedar lodge accommodates up to 100 guests and sits just steps from the water’s edge. Inside, cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and oversized lake-view windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Outside, the expansive lawn offers plenty of space for an outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, or tented reception — all with panoramic views of Messalonskee Lake.

Conveniently Located, Yet Peacefully Private

Enjoy the serenity of a private, rural setting while being just minutes from local hotels, restaurants, and amenities. The Lakeside Lodge offers the perfect balance of natural seclusion and guest convenience.

A Relaxed, Customizable Wedding Experience

Our wedding package is designed to give you flexibility, freedom, and peace of mind. You’ll have access to the property the day before your event for decorating, setup, and rehearsal. We provide tables and chairs, and you’re welcome to design your reception your way. Unlike many other venues, The Lakeside Lodge allows you to choose any licensed caterer, giving you full control over your menu and budget.

A Legacy of Love

For eight generations, our family has celebrated life’s biggest moments here — and we’re honored to help you create yours. Every event at The Lakeside Lodge supports the preservation of this beautiful property for generations to come.
