There is a 4200 square foot log home, a 1200 square foot guest house, and an 1800 square foot recreation barn for indoor use. 80 acres means privacy, unlimited creativity, and plenty of places to explore and relax. There are many places on the property to actually hold the wedding ceremony, and you get to choose. We have space at the main house for smaller gatherings such as rehearsal dinners, or smaller wedding parties.
In the rec barn, we can seat 150 under roof. Hickory Ridge is an 80 acre country estate, a foothills farm, a mini lake resort, and the world headquarters of Hearthstone, one of the premier log and timber home manufacturer in the world. It's also yours for a wedding or event that nobody will ever forget. It is so unique and flexible, it excels at anything from country-elegant, to black tie, to blue jeans and boots (or barefoot).
There is no venue quite like it in the Southeast, and perhaps anywhere else for that matter. It's also about 30 seconds (depending on where you're standing), by foot, to Douglas Lake.
